Coronavirus Fears Continue to Spark Panic Buying in U.S., UK, Japan & New Zealand

Tinned food, water, toilet paper & surgical masks all flying off the shelves.

Fears over the coronavirus impacting supply chains have continued to drive panic buying of food, water, toilet paper and surgical masks across numerous major countries today.

More than 50 countries now have confirmed coronavirus cases, with the worst hit countries outside of China being Iran and Italy. BBC News reports that at least 210 people in Iran had died from the virus, way higher than official government figures.

This has prompted panic buying as customers desperately stock up on supplies in anticipation of potential shortages.

Photos out of northern California show shelves being emptied of respirators and bottled water.

Face masks are also completely sold out in numerous stores.

Hand sanitizer, thermometers and oat milk are also in hot demand as supplies are exhausted.

Cough medicine and other flu drugs are also running low.

Another photo from a Target in St. Paul MN illustrates the demand for tinned food.

“Stores everywhere selling out of masks,” reports Seattle news station KIRO 7, noting that a box of surgical masks on Amazon is also retailing over $1000 dollars.

In the United Kingdom, online supermarket Ocado said it had been experiencing “exceptionally high demand” with customers placing “particularly large orders”.

The retailer is telling customers that they may have to make their orders further in advance due to shortages.

The New Zealand Herald reports that people are “stocking up for the apocalypse” despite there just being a single confirmed coronavirus case in the entire country.

“One shopper described lengthy queues, with water, hand sanitiser, soap and tissues flying off the shelves,” states the report, adding that there were huge lines at supermarkets across Auckland as soon as they opened.

Meanwhile, in Japan store shelves are being emptied of toilet paper despite an industry body’s request for people to stay calm.

Kyodo News reports that stock is being exhausted just 5 minutes after it is placed on shelves at drug stores and supermarkets.

After photos of empty shelves went viral on social media, the Japanese government had to step in to reassure citizens, “Most toilet paper used in Japan is produced domestically and the supply chains remain intact.”

Meanwhile, the WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said yet again today that “stigma” is a bigger threat than the coronavirus.

So despite the threat of a global pandemic and mass panic buying, at least we know people’s feelings won’t be hurt.

Videos: Democrats Say They Could Erect ABORTION TENTS In National Parks, Hand Out Abortion VOUCHERS

They want to create slush funds of tax dollars to pay for women to travel to federal owned land for unconstitutional procedures

Following the overturning of Roe vs Wade, bringing America into line with much of the rest of the world on abortion laws, the screeching seething desire of leftists to mash up babies in the womb has led to Democrats, who support NO LIMIT abortions, pledging to initiate slush funds to pay for ferrying around those who still want late term procedures, and even the suggestion of erecting abortion tents on federally owned land.

Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren told a Washington Post reporter that she envisages the Biden administration facilitating pop up abortions in national parks.

WTF?

Picture that, you’re taking a stroll in the great outdoors, getting back to nature, and over the horizon looms a federal government abortion tent.

Warren also floated the idea in an appearance on ABC’s This Week Sunday:

Biden’s social justice warrior HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, who has a record of previously supporting ‘at birth’ abortions, also told CNN that the idea of using federal land is very much on the table:

Becerra has also said he is “looking at” using taxpayer dollars to fund transportation to other states for abortions. When asked if that would be legal, he just laughed and said “Talk to me later…I would tell you if, uh—you’re recording so I wont tell you.”

The White House is entertaining the notion of abortion clinics on federal land, in anticipation of ignoring and bypassing State laws:

Vice President Kamala Harris confirmed that this idea is a reality, with potential abortion vouchers being provided to anyone requesting an out-of-state abortion:

New York Dems want to establish a fund to get women from elsewhere to travel to get abortions:

Meanwhile, Democrats in St. Louis want to use taxpayer-funded COVID relief money to fund access to abortions:

What next? All aboard the government abortion bus?

Democrats clearly have no intention of adhering to the Supreme Court ruling and intend to act unconstitutionally.

Nancy Pelosi has called the SCOTUS an “extremist” institution:

    Video: Abortion Laws Worldwide Are More Restrictive Than In The U.S.

    Even after the overturning of Roe vs Wade

    In the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe vs Wade, Joe Biden described the U.S. as “an outlier among developed nations in the world” as far as abortion laws are concerned, a term that was echoed by globalist talking heads and confirmed to by true by so called ‘fact checkers’.

    It’s not though.

    Fox News anchors Pete Hegseth and Will Cain presented a segment Sunday that outlined how much of the ‘developed’ world actually has more restrictive laws on abortions than America.

    The pair noted that in Ireland and Germany, abortions are banned in practically all cases after 12 weeks, with Italy having banned abortions after 13 weeks.

    The likes of Poland, Austria and Spain just don’t do abortions full stop, except in extreme circumstances.

    While French leader Emmanuel Macron has been vocal in criticising the U.S. on abortion laws, his own country restricts abortions after 14 weeks, which is still more strict than most proposals on the table now in Republican led states.

    Watch:

    While Google searches for ‘How To Move To Canada’ spiked by 850% after the SCOTUS announcement, it has been conveniently forgotten that, as pointed out by the abortion lobby in Canada, provincial governments do have gestational limits, many at 16 weeks and some at 12 or 13 weeks.

    Prior to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the U.S. was one of only seven countries that allowed abortion on demand at any point during pregnancy.

    Canadians were actually coming to the U.S. for abortions due to looser laws.

    Describing America as an outlier on this issue, even now, is pure disinformation. Introducing laws restricting abortion on demand after 20 weeks (or even down to 15 weeks) would, in reality, bring the U.S. into line with much of the Western world.

    No amount of public screeching, coat hanger bearing, or throwing around fake blood will change that.

    Children Suffering From as Many as Three Different Viruses Due to Weakened Immunity Caused by Lockdown

    Common cold now putting people in the hospital.

    Children are turning up at doctors’ clinics infected with as many as three different viruses due to their immune systems being weakened by lockdown, it has been revealed.

    According to Thomas Murray, an infection-control expert and associate professor of pediatrics at Yale, his team is seeing cases of children with combinations of seven common viruses, including adenovirus, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus, influenza and parainfluenza, as well as COVID-19.

    “That’s not typical for any time of year and certainly not typical in May and June,” said Murray.

    Such viruses are surging in what would normally be ‘dead’ warmer months because kids weren’t exposed to them over winter as a result of being confined by lockdowns.

    Medical experts have also noted that rhinovirus, which causes the common cold and is normally not serious enough to send people to hospital, is now having that outcome.

    According to Michael Mina, an epidemiologist and Chief Science Officer at the digital health platform eMed, such viruses can “overcome seasonal barriers” because there are “a lot of people who don’t have immunity.”

    Mina called the process a “massive natural experiment.”

    As we previously highlighted, there has been a global outbreak of hepatitis cases in children, with the media asserting the cause is “unknown.”

    However, some health experts have asserted that this was also caused by childrens’ immune systems being weakened by lockdown.

    The outbreak has caused numerous deaths as well as children requiring urgent organ transplants.
