The coronavirus COVID-19 is NOT AIRBORNE
Why the UK must act fast now and contain COVID19 in our country for ourselves and for the world
WHO emphasize test test test for COVID-19 - and immediately isolate all cases, even mild ones - through to 14 days after symptoms cease

COVID19 cases may peak soon in Italy and Iran - in China, South Korea, and much of the Western Pacific it is nearly over - the UK absolutely has to join in - it is losing the plot!
Only a matter of when, not if, UK has to return to the Contain phase - but leave it late and we may need rest of the world’s help to do it

How to protect yourself from COVID-19 - and help stop spread to others and the world - if everyone did this the epidemic would soon stop
WHO declare Covid19 as a pandemic that CAN BE CONTAINED - not a question of if we CAN but if we WILL
If Covid19 is a pandemic it is the first one that can be contained - WHO briefing on Covid19, 9th March 2020
Why COVID-19 can be stopped even with so many countries reporting cases, some in the thousands - it is all about the reproduction number R0
Coronavirus Can Be Controlled - No Country Should Allow Uncontrolled Spread - Harms Your Citizens And Other Countries Too - WHO
Dr Tedros, Director General of WHO continues to emphasize we can stop and contain covid 19 - not time to let up on our efforts
5th March COVID19 - WHO - continue to stress containment - Iran doing a good job - Need to drive down, slow and stop transmission
No the first of two strains of Covid19 is NOT more deadly! More like the same model of car with a different number plate
Covid 19- Good news from China - 11 provinces now at lowest “green” level of risk - Encouraging signs from South Korea - WHO don’t think containment should be abandoned
UK moves to "delay" phase - but start of delay phase is the same as the WHO guidelines - they want to delay it for 6 weeks to the end of the flu season

WHO press conference 3rd March 2020 - they repeat many times that containment of COVID19 is still possible
No way that 250,000 get COVID19 in Scotland - wash hands before touching your face and keep 2 meters away from people who cough and you won't get it
The news not shared on mainstream TV - China has nearly contained COVID19 and the rest of us can too
COVID19 - Together we're powerful. Containment starts with you. Our greatest enemy is not the virus. It's fear, rumors and stigma. Our greatest assets are facts, reason and solidarity. Dr Tedros - WHO press conference
You won't get COVID19 if you take the right precautions

WHO press conference - With the right measures COVID19 can be contained
COVID19 - What you must do to stay safe if you are in an infected areaCOVID19 - WHAT YOU MUST DO IF YOU ARE IN AN AFFECTED AREA
Why the WHO are not calling COVID19 a pandemic
No the CDC are not saying a pandemic is inevitable, and the experts say we can STOP a pandemic
WHO key message from investigations in china - this virus can be contained - will give all countries hope, courage and confidence - and big donation from EU and why the Iran / Italy / South Korea outbreaks can still be contained, not yet a pandemic
COVID19 in Singapore shows there can't be a hidden population of symptomless superspreaders
Narrowing window of opportunity for COVID19 but there is still time to prevent a pandemic - first cases in Iran of special concern

Good news about Covid19 in China from largest clinical study of this disease to date
Spike of over 14,000 new cases go back to the start of the outbreak, because of a new way of reporting - many may not be COVID-19 - and evidence that the number of cases they are missing may not be that large
Debunked - what did Leung mean when he said that the coronavirus could spread to 60% of humanity?
Debunked: The Chinese are NOT burning thousands of bodies in crematoriums in Wuhan - the SO2 is from a steel works!

WHO press briefing on coronavirus - can still be contained, $625 million support for countries with poor health systems are key - with preliminary transcript (unofficial)
Worldwide cases of coronavirus NOT doubling every 5 days - well contained at present - WHO's top priority is to prevent an epidemic / pandemic in Africa
Expect Coronavirus deaths to rise rapidly for a month - to perhaps 1000 to 3000 - then slowly level off if contained - ignore FALSE PREDICTION that millions will die
Where to go for reliable sources on the Coronavirus COVID19
WHO declares global emergency, to protect least developed countries, coronavirus is NOT a pandemic - and you can protect yourself
WHO RECOMMENDATIONS AND ADVICE FOR CORONAVIRUS
No epidemics outside China yet - mainly cases from China - Could China be concealing a larger problem for the coronavirus - NO
WHO declares global emergency, to protect least developed countries, does NOT mean coronavirus is a pandemic
No Coronavirus is not man-made or a bioweapon - we know from its gene sequence
Expect the deaths from Coronavirus to reach hundreds, to over 1000 even when successfully contained - doesn't make it personally dangerous - chance of epidemic outside China is weak
Chinese coronavirus does NOT match fictional pandemic with 65 million dead - Event 201 - never meant as a predition of a future disease
Ignore figure of 190,000 possibly infected by coronavirus by 4th February - authors themselves say figures are too high - preprint, not peer reviewed
Coronavirus - not a significant risk outside China and you can prevent infection even in Wuhan with right precautions
Latest on coronavirus - new cases were expected and nothing to worry about - death rate remains low and human to human infection remains rare
Update on Chinese coronavirus - not very infectious - like a bad case of flu but much less contagious - probably originates from snakes
Chinese virus is like a bad case of flu - but much less contagious

There is no way you are going to be drafted in the US - and why a war would NOT help Trump get re-elected - the opposite.
Simple answers to why we don't risk WWIII
No Iran is not withdrawing from the deal - yes it is removing restrictions on uranium enrichment levels - but not actually increasing uranium enrichment further right now

Why we are safe from anything happening in the center of our galaxy
No a bright laser can't 'tear' the fabric of space-time - and space-time isn’t really a fabric at all

NORTH KOREA
North Korea's climate change and biodiversity policies - the conditional plans are actually close to 1.5 C compatible if they had the finance for them
No way North Korea attacks anyone - could be missile fired into sea harmlessly - or satellite launch - or perhaps a positive development - diplomacy continues
Nothing to worry about engine test - North Korea stepping back from a deal much like Trump did - not going to lead to war
North Korea’s “Christmas gift” - they are keeping the door open for talks - maybe the alternative is a geostationary satellite launch? No risk of WW III ever
Kim missiles test as background for future tough negotiations
North Korea announces that it wants to talk to US - just before short range missile tests which do not go against promise to Trump
Trump steps into North Korea and invites Kim Jong Un to visit the White House
No need to be concerned yet by North Korea doing some rebuilding work in its missile test site - to prepare for dramatic pictures of them blowing it up??

No need to worry about the Trump - Kim talks - brinksmanship not a break up yet - UPDATE talks cancelled for now
No Trump and Kim aren’t about to go to war, Not likely they cancel the peace talks in June
Why it’s okay that North Korea say they have to trust the US to denuclearize
Why US can’t attack North Korea without warning its civilians in South Korea - Hopes for Winter Olympics talks - and wish of both Koreas for reunification
Why Trump can’t really be planning a surprise attack on North Korea - unless he evacuates US civilians from South Korea first
Did you know: North Korea is not communist - nobody else wants them to have nuclear weapons - and their leader is not mad
Debunked: North Korea plan to set off a supervolcano eruption by dropping a nuclear bomb on Yellowstone
Can Trump order a nuclear attack on civilians in North Korea in peace time without Congress approval? General Kehler says no.
Why North Korea is not about to invade South Korea - or the US invade NK - and why you don’t need to be scared of a NK hydrogen bomb test in the Pacific
North Korea Update
Tense situation concerning North Korea
WORLD WAR III
World War III unlikely - trend in opposite direction, to smaller wars and fewer casualties not large ones - and reduced tendency for the great powers to fight each other
Iran and Israel like rutting stags - they are careful not to escalate - not a risk of world war
No a limited military strike on Iran would not lead to WW III - and is also unlikely to happen - Trump has found a neat way out
Pakistan and India are sabre rattling - real issue is the Chinese - Pakistan economic corridor for oil giving China access to the Indian sea
Trump CANNOT START A NUCLEAR STRIKE in peace time and there is no evidence of a mental health disorder

Answer to worries about self driving cars and not being able to drive for yourself in the future - that is science fiction at present
·No the US / Australia / the West are NOT going to adopt a social credit system as a result of trials of facial recognition software - for criminal investigations by police
WAR
Syria risk is for only a tiny percentage of the ISIS fighters
IRAN
No - Iraqi protests at US embassy do not risk a war with US and Iran
What job can you do consistent with wanting to help with climate change?
The US under Trump and Iran both want a deal
Iran and Israel like rutting stags - they are careful not to escalate - not a risk of world war
No a limited military strike on Iran would not lead to WW III - and is also unlikely to happen - Trump has found a neat way out
Latest in Iran - UK to set up combined force with Europe to protect shipping - distancing itself from US - and how the UK could be an intermediary for eventual discussions between the US and Iran
Some progress towards preserving Iran deal - Europe enables first sanction avoiding transactions with Iran just before it reaches 300 kg low enriched uranium
US - Iran situation is not a personal risk for most people - even for sailors working on tankers in the region
Latest on Iran - Trump seems to have ordered a strike on key military installations then canceled it
Iran shooting down RQ- Hawk drone - not something to worry about but it shows its capabilities
Another update on Iran - president Hassan Rouhani says they will not wage war against any Nation - and the US and everyone else concerned also say they do not seek conflict with Iran
This is from some time back, but it gives the president’s of Iran’s views...
Worst case for US - Iran - targeted strike on nuclear facilities
Battle to prevent ‘deep fake’ is not the end of the internet
Why the US can’t invade Iran
No need to worry about oil tanker incident in gulf or Oman - no way that Iran and US will start a war - and nobody else would directly support either side in such a war
No the US is not going to invade Iran - no achievable military objective
No, the US and Iran are not about to go to war
Don’t worry about the Iran guestures - they don’t want to start a nuclear war - it is all an attempt to find a way to sell oil to Europe.
Trump and Rouhani (Iran) trade angry tweets - just posturing and groundless threats
What next now that Trump has withdrawn from Iran deal? Deal continues for now - NOT WAR
YELLOWSTONE
Why we don’t need to worry about the Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone - a chance to see it if you visit Yellowstone, that’s all
No, Yellowstone is not going to erupt as a supervolcano soon. No, it can’t destroy mankind!
No - NASA do not have a risky plan to drill into Yellowstone potentially triggering an eruption
What really happens if Yellowstone erupts as a supervolcano, or if some other supervolcano erupts?
Debunked: North Korea plan to set off a supervolcano eruption by dropping a nuclear bomb on Yellowstone
Campi Flegrei is not ready to collapse - thousands of years into the future most likely - also not quite a supervolcano
We would have ample warning of a supervolcano eruption - centuries, or thousands of years
EARTHQUAKES
Small earthquakes and movement of Garlock fault don't increase the risk of the California Big One
No a magnitude 7.1 earthquake in Mexico does not mean the world will end - Nibiru myth gathering has as much logic as a bowerbird finding bright objects to line its nest
Debunked: Every time we have a cluster of earthquakes, we must have a planet approaching Earth to cause them
Earthquakes in California have no relevance at all to the New Madrid fault and earthquakes in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Missisipi
Small California earthquakes do not mean ‘Big one’ is more likely - a tsunami is not likely - megatsunami impossible - nothing can make California sink into the sea
Small Earthquakes in the UK are normal
Debunked: Earth’s rotation slowing down to cause extra earthquakes next year - sensationalized
We are NOT having more earthquakes than usual - Earth is NOT going to crack open - and Nibiru is NONSENSE :) - also has a section on PROTECTION AGAINST EARTHQUAKES
Why do we get earthquakes? Hint - it’s not because of Nibiru
Debunked: End of world from ‘Earthquake swarm’ - Nov 17 or 19
Debunked - California could fall into the sea or the Earth split open through earthquakes or continental drift
INTERNET LEGISLATION
Yes Facebook can be ordered by the EU to remove illegal content for all its users worldwide - but ONLY IF it is ILLEGAL worldwide - EU court rules
How bills pass into law in the US - and an executive order is NOT a law
No need to worry about Call of Duty and other violent games being banned in US after Trump's speech
Why Josh Hawley's bill about an alert after 30 minutes of social media use can't pass - he can't be serious
US LEGISLATION FEARS
FALSE PROPHECY

Debunked: Idea: world is going to end soon because Trump recognized Jerusalem as capital of Israel
The world is not about to end because of an urban fox that was seen in Jerusalem near to the Temple Mount
