Alzheimer’s Has Tripled

The average monthly cost of having someone in Memory Care at a nursing home is around $7000.  Thats $84,000 per year. How many Americans can afford that when we already know that 70% don’t have $1000 in savings and never will?  How do you suppose we are going to pay for millions of Americans who will all need a Elder Care in next 20 years? Can we borrow $100 trillion dollars from anyone?

It makes one wonder if losing our minds is one of the consequences to a nation that rejects Jesus and now even refuses to fear The Lord?

Early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s disease jumped 200% among commercially insured Americans between the ages of 30 and 64 over a recent five-year period, a new analysis of Blue Cross and Blue Shield health insurer claims shows.

The report, the latest from the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, shows 131,000 people between the ages of “30 and 64 were diagnosed with either form of dementia” in 2017. The average age of someone “with either condition is 49 and women are disproportionately impacted than men,” the report, which is the latest in the trade group’s “The Health of America” series, shows.

In 2017, there were 12.6 diagnoses per 10,000 adults of either early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s disease for commercially insured adults aged 30 to 64, the report said. That compares to 4.2 diagnoses per 10,000 adults of early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s disease combined for the same 30 to 64 age group in 2013.

Be Healthy! Stop Spread of Virus! Go Cashless!

The Bible says that during the final 7 years before Christ returns to set up his 1000 year reign, that people of earth will have a cashless system. If you want to buy or sell anything you will be required to have some type of mark to scan into the system. Cash spreads germs, can’t be easily tracked by governments, can’t be taxed and is used by drug dealers and the sex trade! Most young people never use it so it would be a great time to just get rid of it! Can you see how the planet is being prepped for the Antichrist?  Of course our Blessed Hope is that Jesus Christ comes first!

Dirty cash may fuel the spread of the novel Chinese coronavirus, which is currently more than three times deadlier than the seasonal flu, the World Health Organization (WHO), a United Nations agency, warned this week.

Banknotes may be spreading the new coronavirus so people should try to use contactless payments instead, the World Health Organization has said.

Customers should wash their hands after touching banknotes because infectious [coronavirus] may cling to the surface for a number of days, the UN agency said on Monday night.

To prevent the spread of the disease, people should use contactless technology where possible, a spokesperson added.

Misleading Coronavirus Data.

As the world continues to panic over coronavirus, shutting down all sporting events, closing schools, shutting down factories, etc... We have to wonder if this is really worth all the fuss?  Is this virus really so much more dangerous than the common flu?  Or is there some other reason that the media is hyping this 24 hours per day to scare everyone?

Right now they are telling us that 90,000 people got the virus and 3100 are dead which is over a 3% death rate which is 20 times higher than the common flu.

But what if we found out that millions of people actually got the virus and were healed without seeking any medical attention and never being counted or tested?  Then the denominator would be WAY off and the death toll wouldn't be 3% it might only be .03% which would be nothing more than what the common flu kills.

The media tells us that 10 people have died in Washington State, but who were they?

Washington also announced another death, bringing its total to 10. Most of those who died were residents of Life Care Center, a nursing home in Kirkland, a suburb east of Seattle. 

So, old, already unhealthy people in a nursing home are those who are dying?  And we are in full-blown, world-wide panic?

Is the Prince of this World actually concocting something else here?  Is there a reason he wants the global economy to falter?

Assuming the number of people who have reportedly died from COVID-19 is reasonably accurate, then the percentage of infected people who die from the disease (the death rate) must surely have been much lower than the 2–3% estimates commonly reported. That is because the number of infected people is much larger than the number tested and reported.

The triangle graph, from a February 10 study from Imperial College London, shows that most people infected by COVID-19 are never counted as being infected. That is because, the Imperial College study explains, “the bottom of the pyramid represents the likely largest population of those infected with either mild, non‐​specific symptoms or who are asymptomatic.”

As the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom, explained in his February 28 briefing, “Most people will have mild disease and get better without needing any special care.” Several studies have found that about 80% of all the COVID-19 cases have relatively minor symptoms which end without severe illness and therefore remain unreported.

A Chinese study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, February 20, found a “case‐​fatality rate” of 2.3%, meaning 1,023 died out of 44,672 cases. But the total sample in that study (72,314) included an additional 27,642 non‐​confirmed cases, and simply including cases (let alone unreported minor cases) would have reduced the fatality rate to 1.4%. China‐​based estimates are largely confined to cases with the most severe symptoms, so it should be no surprise that the reported death rate among severe cases is much higher than it would be if the data also included “most people” who “have a mild disease and get better.” The risk of infecting more people is also more severe in China data, since severe cases are concentrated and transmitted in hospitals. This can also lead to overstated estimates of how many people are infected by someone with COVID-19, including the WHO “reproduction number” estimate of 1.4–2.5, which is mainly based on evidence from China.

As the graph indicates, other countries include more non‐​severe cases than China does, notably by testing incoming travelers who arrive with a cough and fever. Even after casting a slightly wider net, however, the number of confirmed cases probably captures only about 30% of the actual number.

By the morning of March 2, there had been 89,253 confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported around the world, with about 96% of those in Asia. For comparison, the were an estimated 37.9 million people living with HIV in 2018.

It is worth noting that have also been 45,393 known recoveries from COVID-19 (compared to 3048 cumulative deaths) and, importantly, recoveries have been outnumbering new cases.

Tens of thousands of old people and unhealthy people die from the flu every year.  And we don't shut down sporting events, close schools and shut down factories.  Trump is now questioning the stated 3.2% death toll and he is being ridiculed by the MSM.

Again, what IS going on here?

Doctor Doom Says 40% Stock Market Drop

You don't get the nick name, "Dr. Doom" by having a rosy outlook.  And this dude has been predicting a massive crash for the past 10 years...almost as long as I have! : )

I'm not convinced he's right.  I'm just posting interesting headlines.

He also tells us that he's an Iranian-Jew and it spills out in the interview that he maybe doesn't like President Trump.  He thinks the stock market collapse will lead to Trump being tossed from office in 8 months.
**********************************************************************
In an interview with Germany's Der Speigel, Dr.Doom - who correctly predicted the bursting of the U.S. housing bubble in addition to the 2008 financial crisis along with the ramifications of austerity measures for debt-laden Greece - believes that coronavirus will lead to a global economic disaster and that U.S. President Donald Trump will not be re-elected as a result.

DER SPIEGEL: How severe is the coronavirus outbreak for China and for the global economy?

Roubini: This crisis is much more severe for China and the rest of the world than investors have expected for four reasons: First, it is not an epidemic limited to China, but a global pandemic. Second, it is far from being over. This has massive consequences, but politicians don’t realize it.

DER SPIEGEL: What do you mean?

Roubini: Just look at your continent. Europe is afraid of closing its borders, which is a huge mistake. In 2016, in response to the refugee crisis, Schengen was effectively suspended, but this is even worse. The Italian borders should be closed as soon as possible. The situation is much worse than 1 million refugees coming to Europe.

DER SPIEGEL: What are your other two reasons?

Roubini: Everyone believes it’s going to be a V-shaped recession, but people don’t know what they are talking about. They prefer to believe in miracles. It’s simple math: If the Chinese economy were to shrink by 2 percent in the first quarter, it would require growth of 8 percent in the final three quarters to reach the 6 percent annual growth rate that everyone had expected before the virus broke out. If growth is only 6 percent from the second quarter onwards, which is a more realistic scenario, we would see the Chinese economy only growing by 2.5 to 4 percent for the entire year. This rate would essentially mean a recession for China and a shock to the world.

DER SPIEGEL: And your last point?

Roubini: Everyone thinks that policymakers will react swiftly but that’s also wrong. The markets are completely delusional. Look at fiscal policy: You can do fiscal stuff only in some countries like Germany, because others like Italy don’t have any leeway. But even if you do something, the political process requires a great deal of talking and negotiating. It takes six to nine months, which is way too long. The truth is: Europe would have needed fiscal stimulus even without the corona crisis. Italy was already on the verge of a recession, as was Germany. But German politicians aren’t even thinking about stimulus, despite the country being so exposed to China. The political response is a joke - politicians are often behind the curve. This crisis will spill over and result in a disaster. 

DER SPIEGEL: What role do the central banks have to play?

Roubini: The European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan are already in negative territory. Of course, they could lower rates on deposits even further to stimulate borrowing but that wouldn’t help the markets for more than a week. This crisis is a supply shock that you can’t fight with monetary or fiscal policy.

DER SPIEGEL: What will help?

Roubini: The solution needs to be a medical one. Monetary and fiscal measures do not help when you have no food and water safety. If the shock leads to a global recession, then you have a financial crisis, because debt levels have gone up and the U.S. housing market is experiencing a bubble just like in 2007. It hasn’t been a time bomb so far because we have been experiencing growth. That is over now.

DER SPIEGEL: Will this crisis change the way the Chinese people think of their government?

Roubini: Businesspeople tell me that things in China are much worse than the government is officially reporting. A friend of mine in Shanghai has been locked in his home for weeks now. I don’t expect a revolution, but the government will need a scapegoat.

DER SPIEGEL: Such as?

Roubini: Already, there were conspiracy theories going around about foreign interference when it comes to swine flu, bird flu and the Hong Kong uprising. I assume that China will start trouble in Taiwan, Hong Kong or even Vietnam. They’ll crack down on protesters in Hong Kong or send fighters over Taiwanese air space to provoke the U.S. military. It would only take one accident in the Strait of Formosa and you would see military action. Not a hot war between China and the U.S., but some form of action. This is what people in the U.S. government like Secretary of State Mike Pompeo or Vice President Mike Pence want. It’s the mentality of many people in D.C.

DER SPIEGEL: This crisis is obviously a setback for globalization. Do you think politicians like Trump, who want their companies to abandon production abroad, will benefit?

Roubini: He will try to reap benefits from this crisis, that’s for sure. But everything will change when coronavirus reaches the U.S. You can’t build a wall in the sky. Look, I live in New York City and people there are hardly going to restaurants, cinemas or theaters, even though nobody there has been infected by the virus thus far. If it comes, we are totally fucked.

Well he is right about a few things...all those city dwellers who live in high rise apartments are going to get very Closter phobic if the virus comes to their city.  The New Yorkers are already skipping restaurants, plays and movies!...and there isn't one case of the virus in their city!!

Remember, the vast majority of these city dwellers are Democrats who approve of abortion and think climate change is the biggest issue in the universe.  Needless to say the vast majority of them DO NOT have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  No wonder they are all freaked and panicked already!  They have no idea how HIS-STORY ends!

It ain't gonna come to an end until HE says so.  Until then this is just one other sign that Jesus warned us would accompany the very last days...Pestilence.

Stock Market "Skyrockets" Then "Plunges"

The financial markets are all very concerned about the Coronavirus. I watched a video from Shanghai, China yesterday that showed the streets totally empty of cars and pedestrians.  When 500,000,000 Chinese people don't go to work then their factories don't make anything.  When you don't make anything you have nothing to sell.  When you don't sell anything you don't make any money.  When you don't make any money you don't spend any money...and the whole economy can quickly go into a downward tailspin.

"But Dennis, that's all happening in China.  This is America so China's problems won't affect us in the least...cuz they are on the other side of the world."

Ummmm...If China doesn't send Walmart, Target and Amazon any more T-shirts, coffee pots, duffel bags, baseball bats, and basically every other product that China makes and we consume....our economy, 70% based on consumerism (people buying crap) will slow down pretty quickly.

Of course the stock market does NOT like uncertainty.  So after plunging last week, the market skyrocketed yesterday.  Now today it has plunged again because the Federal Reserve came out and unexpectedly slashed interest rates.

This article caught our eye because it said "first time EVER", when describing how 10 year Treasuries went below 1%

Stocks fell sharply in volatile trading on Tuesday after the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates by half a percentage point in an emergency effort to stem slower economic growth from the coronavirus outbreak.

 The decision came two weeks before the Fed’s scheduled meeting as the central bank felt it was necessary to act quickly to combat the effect of the virus spreading worldwide. It’s the first such emergency action coming in between scheduled meetings since the financial crisis.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded 860 points lower, or 3.3%, after rising more than 300 points earlier in the day. The 30-stock average gyrated between sharp gains and solid losses after the decision was announced. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were both down at least 3.2%.

Investors, in turn, loaded up on U.S. Treasurys, pushing the benchmark 10-year yield below 1% for the first time ever. Gold, meanwhile, jumped 3.1% to $1,644.50 per ounce.

If you don't know it already, I'll tell you a little secret....the entire global economy has been financed with debt and is now standing on paper money which could blow away like dust in the wind.  I'm not saying that it's going to, I'm just reminding you that it could.

America will need to vanish so that the Antichrist can put together a new global financial system. 

And if the Antichrist is close, then Jesus calling His bride into the clouds is even closer.

Encourage each other with these words.

Turkey Announces its Intention to Go to War with Russia

We aren’t quite sure what is happening here. The relations between Russia and Turkey are shattering. We have dead soldiers on both sides and finger pointing on both sides. Scripture seems to point to a time when Turkey and Russia come together to attack Israel. But now we appear to be seeing evidence that they are about to turn on each other.  Stay tuned!

*************************************

Hakki Casin, a prominent member of Turkey’s Security and Foreign Policy Board, who advises Erdogan, said: “We have fought Russia 16 times in the past, and we will fight it again.“

Casin made his statements following the death of 33 Turkish soldiers who were killed in an airstrike by Russian-backed Syrian forces in Idlib.

The official hinted that they will use Muslims inside Russia to assist them with their efforts saying that Moscow will be “will be shattered from inside” should a war break out between the two countries.

Following a request from Ankara, NATO convened an urgent meeting to review the situation in Idlib on Friday. Turkish officials vowed to retaliate against Syria following the attack on their troops.
