ARGHHHHHH! Beam me up, Scotty!!!!!!!!!!

The World Health Organisation will keep the money and will use it to fight the outbreak. Investors bought the bonds and received regular coupon payments in return, which were substantial in this world of negative interest rates. If there is an outbreak of disease turned into a pandemic, then investors don’t get their initial money back.
There are two varieties of debt that are scheduled to mature in July 2020.The first bond issue raised $225 million and features an interest rate of around 7%! That was substantial. Payout on the bond is to be suspended if there is an outbreak of new influenza viruses or coronavirus. The second type of bond was even riskier which raised $95 million with an interest rate of more than 11%. This second type of bond keeps investors’ money if there is an outbreak of Filovirus, Coronavirus, Lassa Fever, Rift Valley Fever, and/or Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever.
Then the World Bank issued $105 million derivative that works in a similar way.Obviously, we have cyclical models that also cover disease. It does not take much to figure out that we would be called in to project the risk. It would be in the interest of the World Health Organisation to declare this coronavirus a pandemic. They would benefit from the cash. The bondholders will lose. We have NOT been called in by the World Bank. That much I can say.
Oh it most certainly is. Folks can remain in denial all they want. The rest of us see right through it.

It is not propaganda. You don’t have to watch it. If it triggers you, switch the channel, station, or website. It’s really not that hard. A five year old could do it.

Covid.
Basically anyone with a digital billboard is being used to force propaganda on us.
Wash your hands. We're in this together. Wearing masks saves lives.
I am finding them at storage facilities, casinos, car dealerships, traffic boards on the highway, just about freaking everywhere and anywhere I travel.
Did anyone ever watch Star Trek Deep Space Nine? Remember how on the Cardassian planet they'd have those giant TV screens all over the cityscape so that they could broadcast their propaganda at a moment's notice?
(I honestly could not find a vid to use for an example. YT just kept wanting me to watch Kardashian vids. Is that ironic? Please supply if you are able.)
How is it that millions upon millions are numb to this obvious propaganda tactic where they cheerlead childlike platitudes incessantly? What does a Harley Davidson outlet have to do with washing my hands, and why?
Do we really need to freaking be told to wash our hands because it saves lives?? Only a 4 year-old will take that as gospel truth. This is what your government thinks of you by the way, as helpless naive children.
It is a much more complex issue than wash your hands + wear your mask = save humanity #Winning.
Like I washed my hands and wore my mask today. Where's my freaking medal for saving the planet?

This is propaganda, this is an agenda, this is a means to an end.
Go back to sleep, the rest of you. Sorry to disturb your slumber. I hope when you awaken you find your future enjoyable.

For what it's worth, I was in Meijer a few weeks ago and the overhead that plays music and occasional Meijer commercials came on with a Covid PSA. It reminded me of those futuristic movies where they announce the rules over a PA constantly. That was creepy.

Have you all noticed the naysayers, have been getting quieter and quieter, in these threads lately?
Gee I wonder why.
I posted a thread in the pit yesterday, on the same lines. I was shocked to see virtually no posts to the contrary.
And it’s listed at No. 2 on ATS’ main page.
You can not deny the facts. The mortality rate is an effing joke.
Yes, we have a new strain of the mild flu.
Hopefully people are waking up. And not just tuning out — due to not being agreed with.
