The world has gone insane....
Mundane stuff is being commoditized as never before as people are trying to attribute value to every single small iota of life amidst the foundational cash being devalued like never before in generations.
Stay tuned for more absurdities I'm sure.
Soon we will be asked to post $ in order to make posts online in forums etc.

…. Because although God is the Sovereign of the Universe, he needs clergy to manage money.

Iran’s protests continue, and a university in Tehran was under siege by “security forces” who allegedly shot at the dorms. The Iranian Parliamentary Speaker, himself a veteran of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, admitted that the protests could destabilize Iran.

Yesterday, I was at Wallkill and Warwick. And it wasn't what you might be thinking. It was to take the grandkids (ages 3 & 6) apple picking. When my own children were young, this was an easy thing to do. Load everyone in a car; drive at least 30 miles outside NYC; watch for signs; take your pick of places; end it with a simple hay-ride, and then take home your pick of apples. Now many of the farms that manage these things only take reservations for picking. They charge $40 for a half-bushel. The have expensive vendor stands creating a makeshift food court, a gift shop, a donut shop, a cider shop. The one we ended up at yesterday had about 500 cars when we arrived (and parking for only about 400). And live music. (?!?!)
Not quite the vibe I grew up with.

If the global economy enters a new economic crisis it may lead to epic debt defaults, according to trade economists at the United Nations.
“As capital begins to flow out, there is now a real danger of entering a third phase of the financial crisis which began in the United States housing market in late 2007 before spreading to the European sovereign bond market,” the annual report of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
Following the 2008-2009 crisis, developing countries faced a huge influx of cheap credit. The process was heated by quantitative easing programs in the developed nations.
“Alarm bells have been ringing over the explosion of corporate debt levels in emerging economies, which now exceed $25 trillion. Damaging deflationary spirals cannot be ruled out,” the report says. Under the conditions of slowing global GDP the debt is likely not to be redeemed.
At the same time, many corporations in emerging countries started the process of rewarding shareholders with stock buybacks and dividend payouts instead of investing into production capacity, according to the analysts.
 

Here is a snapshot from 2020 during the pandemic:

Amazing to see it go down to 21 a couple days ago.
I see the phrase above "Global economic softening"..... LOL..... can you say CLIFF?!?!
 

List of Blueprint priority diseases
2018 annual review of the Blueprint list of priority diseases
For the purposes of the R&D Blueprint, WHO has developed a special tool for determining which diseases and pathogens to prioritize for research and development in public health emergency contexts. This tool seeks to identify those diseases that pose a public health risk because of their epidemic potential and for which there are no, or insufficient, countermeasures. The diseases identified through this process are the focus of the work of R& D Blueprint. This is not an exhaustive list, nor does it indicate the most likely causes of the next epidemic. 
The first list of prioritized diseases was released in December 2015.
Using a published prioritization methodology, the list was first reviewed in  January 2017.
February 2018 - Second annual review
Report of the meeting pdf, 460kb
The second annual review occurred 6-7 February, 2018. Experts consider that given their potential to cause a public health emergency and the absence of efficacious drugs and/or vaccines, there is an urgent need for accelerated research and development for*:
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) Ebola virus disease and Marburg virus disease Lassa fever Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Nipah and henipaviral diseases Rift Valley fever (RVF) Zika Disease X Disease X represents the knowledge that a serious international epidemic could be caused by a pathogen currently unknown to cause human disease, and so the R&D Blueprint explicitly seeks to enable cross-cutting R&D preparedness that is also relevant for an unknown “Disease X” as far as possible.
A number of additional diseases were discussed and considered for inclusion in the priority list, including: Arenaviral hemorrhagic fevers other than Lassa Fever; Chikungunya; highly pathogenic coronaviral diseases other than MERS and SARS; emergent non-polio enteroviruses (including EV71, D68); and Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS).
These diseases pose major public health risks and further research and development is needed, including surveillance and diagnostics. They should be watched carefully and considered again at the next annual review. Efforts in the interim to understand and mitigate them are encouraged.
Although not included on the list of diseases to be considered at the meeting, monkeypox and leptospirosis were discussed and experts stressed the risks they pose to public health. There was agreement on the need for: rapid evaluation of available potential countermeasures; the establishment of more comprehensive surveillance and diagnostics; and accelerated research and development and public health action.
Several diseases were determined to be outside of the current scope of the Blueprint: dengue, yellow fever, HIV/AIDs, tuberculosis, malaria, influenza causing severe human disease, smallpox, cholera, leishmaniasis, West Nile Virus and plague. These diseases continue to pose major public health problems and further research and development is needed through existing major disease control initiatives, extensive R&D pipelines, existing funding streams, or established regulatory pathways for improved interventions. In particular, experts recognized the need for improved diagnostics and vaccines for pneumonic plague and additional support for more effective therapeutics against leishmaniasis.
The experts also noted that:
For many of the diseases discussed, as well as many other diseases with the potential to cause a public health emergency, there is a need for better diagnostics. 
Existing drugs and vaccines need further improvement for several of the diseases considered but not included in the priority list.
Any type of pathogen could be prioritised under the Blueprint, not only viruses.
Necessary research includes basic/fundamental and characterization research as well as epidemiological, entomological or multidisciplinary studies, or further elucidation of transmission routes, as well as social science research.
There is a need to assess the value, where possible, of developing countermeasures for multiple diseases or for families of pathogens.
The impact of environmental issues on diseases with the potential to cause public health emergencies was discussed. This may need to be considered as part of future reviews.
The importance of the diseases discussed was considered for special populations, such as refugees, internally displaced populations, and victims of disasters.
The value of a One Health approach was stressed, including a parallel prioritization processes for animal health. Such an effort would support research and development to prevent and control animal diseases minimising spill-over and enhancing food security. The possible utility of animal vaccines for preventing public health emergencies was also noted.
Also there are concerted efforts to address anti-microbial resistance through specific international initiatives. The possibility was not excluded that, in the future, a resistant pathogen might emerge and appropriately be prioritized. 
*The order of diseases on this list does not denote any ranking of priority.

This is surprising.... I wouldn't have guessed this outcome from The Who

Lest the Ukraine War crowd out all the other disasters in the world, we should remember that Somalia is still enduring a dreadful drought. The article says that the “UNHCR estimates that in 2022 alone half a million Somalis will likely be displaced before the end of March.”

Dear Friends,
I just listened to this 45-min desperate plea by highly-esteemed vaccinologist/immunologist Geert Vanden Bossche. His reports are typically so medically/scientifically esoteric that I cannot understand them. (Transcript included, if you prefer).
He writes for educated professionals in those fields. Since he is unaware that “the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one”, he cannot fathom WHY the medical world is remaining silent in the face of the humanitarian crisis that is the inevitable result of the current vaccine response to the SARS Covid-19 pandemic!! He explains that the unvaccinated are the vacuum cleaners of the pandemic (previous article) and the vaccine-response is an insult to science and exacerbating the pandemic and the infectiousness of the virus!!! He finds a further/escalated humanitarian health crisis to be inevitable. He states he can no longer send out diatribes/reports about this, because the situation is simply too stressful for him!
I plan to give him a witness today. Just bait with a small witness, then I will wait…see if he takes the bait, then I will provide more…
Since we are a geographically far-flung group, and come from all sorts of backgrounds, if some or even one of you,  would take pity on this man in his distress, and share the good news, in addition to my feeble attempt, we will have done a good deed and served our Master obediently.
 
I have lived & worked as a resort architect in 3 countries (US, Czech Republic, England) and recently have been working as a financial professional, licensed in Annuities & Mutual Funds. Nothing scientific/medical here. Some of you have a more scientific bent and perhaps would be more effective. However, we know that Jehovah & King Jesus can use any donkey to deliver the ‘gold’. 
Please consider perusing this article.
Note the desperation/distress of this scientist/vaccinologist. See if you feel compelled to give him a witness. 
Your fellow worker, 😉
