Finland pulled troops from an Arctic military exercise with the US and 8 other countries over coronavirus concerns

The Finnish military has canceled the participation of some 400 of its troops in this month's Exercise Cold Response 20 in Norway.

"The participation of the Armed Forces in the Cold Response exercise conducted by the Norwegian Armed Forces from 9 to 19 March 2020 in northern Norway has been canceled due to the [coronavirus] situation," the Finnish army said in a release that was first reported by Norway-based news outlet The Barents Observer.

Those troops had not traveled to Norway and will not do so, the Finnish military said on March 8, when the decision was made to suspend their participation, according to the release.

Cold Response is a biennial Norwegian-led tactical field-training exercise that was to include some 15,000 personnel from the US, the UK, Dutch, German, French, Belgium, Danish, Finnish, and Swedish militaries.

Roughly 1,500 US service members from the Marine Corps, Navy, Army, and Air Force are set to take part.

"Exercise Cold Response 20 is ongoing and we're working closely with our Norwegian Allies, who are making appropriate adjustments to minimize COVID virus exposure to participating military personnel and the local community," Maj. Adrian Rankine-Galloway, a spokesman for US Marine Corps Forces Europe, said in an email on March 8, referring to COVID-19, the infectious disease spread by the recently discovered coronavirus.

"We remain in close coordination with the Norwegian military and public health authorities to ensure the well-being of our personnel and local population," Rankine-Galloway added.

Cold Response 20 is meant to enhance capabilities and allied cooperation in military operations in the harsh Arctic environment, with training exercises on rugged terrain and in extreme cold weather.

I read that even with a potential cure, taking it into action may take 2-3 years, who knows how much damage this damn virus gets to do until then.

Coronavirus cases in Massachusetts double in overnight hours, report says

Officials in Massachusetts said late Sunday that there are 15 new coronavirus cases in the state, including a parent of an elementary school student in the state that will be closed on Monday.

The Boston Herald reported that the cases can be linked back to a Biogen conference last month at a hotel in the state. The report said that 23 of the state’s 28 cases could be linked to the conference. The company has since told its employees to work from home, according to MarketWatch.

Italy extends lockdown to the WHOLE country after death toll leaps by 97 in one day to 463: Travel is restricted, people are told to stay in at night and large gatherings are banned

25756864-0-image-a-31_1583791926355.jpg


Italian premier Giuseppe Conte said on Monday night that a new government decree will require all people in Italy to demonstrate a need to work, health conditions or other limited reasons to travel outside the areas where they live. He told reporters, referring to a lockdown of areas in northern Italy instituted over the weekend, 'There won't be just a red zone. There will be Italy' as a protected area. Conte told reporters that measures introduced just two days ago in much of the north were no longer sufficient and that they would have to be extended to the whole country from Tuesday. 'Stay at home,' Conte added.

The premier also took to task the young people in much of Italy who have been gathering at night to drink and have a good time during the public health emergency that started on Feruary. 21. Italy's death toll leapt by 97 in one day to 463 on Monday as alarming photos emerged of patients hooked onto life support machines inside quarantine-zone hospitals (pictured centre are patients in Cremona). The deaths, announced by the Italian Civil Protection Agency this afternoon, mark a 20 per cent rise in the country's total number of deaths within 24 hours.

I'm still worried about this spreading my mail. I do a lot of business through the mail. :(

I mean, Let's consider for a moment it was contractable Via Mail, Do you think they would tell us that? If everyone was afraid of the mail the economy would crash in a day. I'm skeptical about all of this. Least of those skepticisms are how this virus literally spread, literally showing up in capital cities in each state. Like it was strategically implemented there.

I know, I'm the crazy one, Because we all know the government wouldn't dare give people sars.

Money vs Life is the equation and as life is so abundant we keep a stiff infected upper lip and carry on.

Four weeks and the lock down is on I think with much finger pointing from the public of those nations whos' governments remained relaxed. Oh to be living in a socialist society right now I would pay for and full of irony these times have become.

Mr Trump has the correct attitude and Bojo is chancing it.

I'm going to stock up on moderate strength canabis and become a curtain twitcher.

Wishing you all good luck.

My old dear is out and about more than me sometimes but now I too am running her shopping for her and i'm good at it as I've done it for myself for years and know the layout well. I bet some of the married men who will have to follow suit will be struggling in the Isles.

Always a silver lining.

The Spanish flu lasted from 1918 to 1920.
Spanish flu - Wikipedia
The 1918 influenza pandemic (January 1918 – December 1920; colloquially known as the Spanish flu) was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic, the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus, with the second being the swine flu in 2009.[1] It infected 500 million people around the world,[2] or about 27% of the then world population of between 1.8 and 1.9 billion, including people on isolated Pacific islands and in the Arctic. The death toll is estimated to have been anywhere from 17 million[3] to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest epidemics in human history.[4][5] Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify with certainty the pandemic's geographic origin.[2]

Infectious diseases already limited life expectancy in the early 20th century, but life expectancy in the United States dropped by about 12 years in the first year of the pandemic.[6][7][8] Most influenza outbreaks disproportionately kill the very young and the very old, with a higher survival rate for those in between, but the Spanish flu pandemic resulted in a higher than expected mortality rate for young adults.[9]

Just came to my mind, that this is a conspiracy by those damn globalization folks. Soros' gang.

They want to force all countries to work together on solving the coronavirus problem. Than they'll say: "You see, we are stronger together".

disclaimer:
I'm 100% for globalization. I am even for adopting one legal system across the whole planet. Yeah, what else would you expect from a guy that is suggesting that 'soul is a software'.

We will get there as it is the only long term path available but expressing it has proven a problem. Your claim is nothing to expect anything from and I have a more out there claim about Nord aliens but don't and won't be judged on here as you shouldn't feel.

I don't think there is an us and them to make a they from on this subject and pure concern will have us on the same page by default.

I respect your opinion on one law but the culture clash would not permit global unity.

Nature made sure of diversity as being the safety net to life's success but it certainly feels that our journey is heading back to a singularity.

Check these Italian figures out, broadcast by Nigel Farage tonight.

8,000 yesterday and 8,500 known cases today.
5,000 in hospital.
1,000 in intensive care
80% of the 1,000 are under the age of 70.
35% death toll rate rise overnight.

Makes all our charts and graphs look like fake new.

Known for calling a spade a spade I take Nigel's word as truth and his sources and information have always stood the test of time.

Yeah I have had the feeling the true numbers of deaths and infected are much higher unfortunately, seems the governments and media are trying to hide this, probably to reduce panic, but that's no excuse in a situation like this, people need to know the true extent of this danger...

'Just stay calm. It will go away': Trump tries to reassure Americans as he makes crisis trip to Capitol Hill for talks on emergency economic bailout as US coronavirus infections jump nearly 50% in 24 hours

President Donald Trump advised Americans to just 'stay calm' and the coronavirus will 'go away' as he attempted to calm the nation amid growing fears about the outbreak. 'It will go away. Just stay calm, it will go away,' he said during a press conference on Capitol Hill after he met with Republican senators about a package to combat the economic fallout from the disease. His remarks came as New York Governor Andrew Cuomo sent the National Guard to New Rochelle to enforce a mile-radius coronavirus "containment area" in the Westchester County community with a large cluster of cases.
