Already spreading faster than SARS & 15 new deaths in one day
Wuhan Hospital Employee
Sign on the door of a Wuhan, China hospital Emergency dept reads:
"Emergency medical staff has been infected. We will no longer treat patients. Quarantine underway."

One of the doctors in a Wuhan hospital has just died.
70,000 theaters shut down
Disneyland shutdown
40+ million in quarantine
29 out of 31 Chinese provinces have infected
No travel agencies allowed to book any tours or trips in any region of China
Roads being blocked with dirt/rocks
Chinese officials with assault weapons in hazmat suits guarding transportation hubs in Wuhan.
Seems like a lot for 1300 people or in other terms 0.0001083 of Chinese population.
I heard a Mongolian citizen say they were shutting down transport there as well as schools and businesses.
Something just doesn't sit right, this virus incubates for 14 days so we probably have a lot more numbers to come.

China spent the crucial first days of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak arresting people who posted about it online and threatening journalists
Another first hand report from a citizen in Wuhan (hit the cc symbol during the video to understand)
Wuhan has over 11,000,000 in population.
Wuhan, China high speed trains have been stopped.
Imagine the potential this has to "derail" the world economy at its weakest moment.

End-to-end encryption renders most of Cloudflare's advanced features useless. To use them, the session between you and Cloudflare is secured, the session between Cloudflare and the website is secured, but Cloudflare essentially becomes a man-in-the-middle and decrypts the data for inspection.

Oh it isn't just Lebanon who are is desperate for USD. It's the entire world.
Hong Kong is China's main way of getting USD since Hong Kong is an important area of trading with USD.
The repo markets are going absolutely insane with the Fed selling mortgage backed securities and buying treasuries from banks:
US banks need cash as well. It's a lot closer to home than some would suspect. It's most likely at your own bank.

As it turns out, the ubiquitous wireless technology’s name has nothing to do with being blue or tooth-like in appearance and has everything to do with medieval Scandinavia.
Harald Bluetooth was the Viking king of Denmark between 958 and 970. King Harald was famous for uniting parts of Denmark and Norway into one nation and converting the Danes to Christianity.
So, what does a turn-of-the-last-millennium Viking king have to do with wireless communication? He was a uniter!
So his name was given to the wireless link that unites and connects so many devices together.
The Bluetooth logo is also a combination of “H” and “B” , the initials of Harald Bluetooth written in the ancient letters (runes) used by vikings (picture below)

Yang is taking the country by storm and the politicians are very worried about him...

Is he running just so that Elizabeth Warren won't get the ticket and charge him 2% of his net worth (not net income) ....
It's probably cheaper for him to run for President and try to keep her from winning than to pay her tax.

IN PRISON...You spend the majority of your time in an 8x10 cell.
AT WORK....You spend most of your time in a 6x8 cubicle.
IN PRISON...You get three meals a day.
AT WORK....You only get a break for 1 meal and you have to pay
for it.
IN PRISON...You get time off for good behaviour.
AT WORK....You get rewarded for good behaviour with more work.
IN PRISON...A guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
AT WORK....You must carry around a security card and unlock and
open all the doors yourself.
IN PRISON...You can watch TV and play games.
AT WORK....You get fired for watching TV and playing games.
IN PRISON...You get your own toilet.
AT WORK....You have to share.
IN PRISON...They allow your family and friends to visit.
AT WORK....You cannot even speak to your family and friends.
IN PRISON...All expenses are paid by taxpayers with no work
required.
AT WORK....You get to pay all the expenses to go to work and
then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners.
IN PRISON...You spend most of your life looking through bars
from the inside wanting to get out.
AT WORK....You spend most of your time wanting to get out
and go inside bars.
IN PRISON...There are wardens who are often sadistic.
AT WORK....They are called supervisors.
When I finally left my last place of work, it was just like
being released from prison, as I was free to do whatever
I wanted to. -
After bitcoin becomes too expensive for the average person to deal with it in whole bitcoins (already the case for some people), we will begin dealing, speaking, and thinking in smaller units like millibitcoin and microbitcoin, but the most elemental bitcoin unit is the satoshi.
How many satoshis are there (or at maximum)? This many:
2,100,000,000,000,000
Which is found by multiplying the maximum 21 million bitcoin by the number of satoshis per bitcoin, which is 100 million.
How do you pronounce that huge number? Like this:
"Two quadrillion one hundred trillion."
How many satoshis are available to us now (have been mined)?
Well, we've mined about 15 million bitcoin out of the 21 million maximum. Times 100 million that comes out to:
1,500,000,000,000,000
or, "One quadrillion five hundred trillion."
How many satoshis is that for each human being alive today? Taking a 7-billion approximation, that comes out to:
214,285 satoshis per human being.
In a total bitcoin-takeover scenario, where bitcoin truly moons and comes out to a price of, say, $3 million per coin and goes into worldwide use, each satoshi would have to be worth about 3-cents.
Thus, even in a total-bitcoin-victory scenario, it seems that there are enough satoshis in the world to run commerce at even the smallest level.
