PM: "We can turn the tide" on coronavirus crisis
In the story, Canute demonstrates to his flattering courtiers that he has no control over the elements (the incoming tide), explaining that secular power is vain compared to the supreme power of God. The episode is frequently alluded to in contexts where the futility of "trying to stop the tide" of an inexorable event is pointed out, but usually misrepresenting Canute as believing he had supernatural powers, when Huntingdon's story in fact relates the opposite.
...As a Danish prince, Cnut won the throne of England in 1016 in the wake of centuries of Viking activity in northwestern Europe. Scotland submitted to him in 1017. His later accession to the Danish throne in 1018 brought the crowns of England and Denmark together. Cnut sought to keep this power-base by uniting Danes and English under cultural bonds of wealth and custom, as well as through sheer brutality. After a decade of conflict with opponents in Scandinavia, Cnut claimed the crown of Norway in Trondheim in 1028. The Swedish city Sigtuna was held by Cnut (he had coins struck there that called him king, but there is no narrative record of his occupation).

I can't listen to this right now. What is general Flynn's attorney saying that is so important?

"If a country does a good job with testing and 'shut down' then within 6-10 weeks they should see very few cases and be able to open back up," he responded.
"The current phase has a lot of the cases in rich countries. With the right actions including the testing and social distancing (which I call 'shut down') within 2-3 months the rich countries should have avoided high levels of infection," Gates wrote. "I worry about all the economic damage but even worse will be how this will affect the developing countries who cannot do the social distancing the same way as rich countries and whose hospital capacity is much lower."

Bill Gates: Countries that shut down for coronavirus could bounce back in weeks
Gates had an AMA on Reddit yesterday...

Very different from 18 months being pushed by msm and various medical institute articles (UK) influencing many. The tone has changed. Check the headlines tomorrow.
What is the q theory on trump cheering on big business bailouts, socialism, and shutting down the country and stripping Americans of their rights to fight this virus?
While everyone is in a panic about the coronavirus (officially renamed COVID-19 by the World Health Organization), there's an even deadlier virus many people are forgetting about: the flu.
Flu season is hitting its stride right now in the US. So far, the CDC has estimated (based on weekly influenza surveillance data) that at least 12,000 people have died from influenza between Oct. 1, 2019 through Feb. 1, 2020, and the number of deaths may be as high as 30,000.
The CDC also estimates that up to 31 million Americans have caught the flu this season, with 210,000 to 370,000 flu sufferers hospitalized because of the virus.

Did you hear what Trump said?
He said, and Iām paraphrasing, we were ready for the virus. We were not ready for the mediaās reaction to it.

Imagine ourselves as the FBI... "Free men(/women) Bureau of Investigation"... baby Q deserves to be monitored on a watch list but his story should be treated as highly suspicious... In my view.
