Chuck Woolery’s Twitter Account Disappears After His Son Apparently Comes Down With Coronavirus

Just days after his full-throated rejection of all things coronavirus was retweeted by President Donald Trump, former game show host Chuck Woolery’s Twitter account was no more.

It was unclear on Wedesday evening whether the disappearance was related to a widespread hack Twitter experienced earlier on Wednesday, or whether Twitter or Woolery himself removed the account.

On Sunday Woolery wrote, “The most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid 19. Everyone is lying. The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust. I think it’s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I’m sick of it.”
Trump retweeted the comment, which set off a firestorm and triggered questions from White House reporters as to whether Trump was attacking his own health officials’ assertions about the virus.

CBS News Catherine Herridge asked Trump, “You reposted a tweet yesterday saying that CDC and health officials are lying. You understand this is confusing for the public. So who do they believe? You, or the medical professionals like Dr. Fauci?”

“I didn’t make a comment,” Trump told Herridge. “I did. I reposted a tweet that a lot of people feel. But all I am doing is making a comment. I’m just putting somebody’s voice out there. There are many voices. There are many people that think we shouldn’t do this kind of testing, because all we do, it’s a trap.”

Late Monday, Woolery apparently shared a less combative message on Twitter saying, “To further clarify and add perspective, Covid-19 is real and it is here. My son tested positive for the virus, and I feel for of those suffering and especially for those who have lost loved ones.”

Snopes.com has verified Woolery’s Monday tweet, an archived version of which is available here.

It’s unclear whether his son’s condition, the reactions to his original tweet or something else prompted Woolery or Twitter to remove his account.
Deadline has reached out to Woolery and Twitter, but did not immediately hear back from either.

Had to laugh when I read that.
I hope the son pulls through okay though.

Indeed. But not before passing to his dad, one hopes. Painfully passes.

The U.K. said it was "completely unacceptable that the Russian intelligence services are targeting those working to combat the coronavirus pandemic."

US economy was an ‘ENORMOUS BUBBLE’ before Covid-19 & pandemic is just the pin – Peter Schiff to Joe Rogan

"The only thing that spreads faster than coronavirus is ignorance about economics and finance, says veteran stock broker Peter Schiff. According to him, the pandemic just sped up the crash of the already deflating bubble.

In the latest episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast, Schiff, the CEO and chief global strategist at Euro Pacific Capital, talked about the current state of the US economy and its condition just before the outbreak.


“US President Donald Trump is claiming that we had a great economy that just got screwed up by the pandemic when we had to shut it down,” he said. “But we didn’t. We had an enormous bubble, and there is nothing great about it other than the size of the bubble.”


Schiff explained that “the reason it collapsed so quickly was because what happened was Covid-19 was a pin that pricked that bubble.”

In fact, the bubble was already deflating before the pandemic, the strategist said.

“It started to deflate in the fourth quarter of 2019. That’s when the Federal Reserve hiked the interest rates and then started cutting them again, started doing quantitative easing again.

And then Covid-19 came.”

A bit of clarity amid the hysteria:

[kmart]

Good piece in the Telegraph today about the mandatory wearing of face masks in the UK, and the ridiculous fines to be imposed for not wearing one:

Oh, and you have to love the impeccable logic of: “Wear a mask in a shop, where you have only fleeting contact with others and almost zero chance of getting Covid, or we’ll fine you £100, then cross the road and go into a café or pub, where masks aren’t mandatory, but you sit in close proximity to someone for an hour or so, giving the virus loads of time to jump ship.” Eh?
At least making us wear masks back at the beginning of the pandemic would have made some sort of sense. Introducing a punitive new law now, with the infection rate in steep decline, seems, as does so much of the UK’s handling of coronavirus, like too little too late. Around 20 Britons a day are dying of Covid and you instruct 60 million people to cover their faces, even though the virus has largely disappeared and the vast majority would suffer no ill effects if they got it?

Compulsory face masks are proof the British bulldog has become the scaredy-cat of Europe

[OhOh]

A bit of clarity

Hindsight is a wonderful thing eh?

[lom]

Around 20 Britons a day are dying of Covid

and with that everything else in that article becomes bollox when they have to lie about the true death figures.

July 10 - July 16 451 deaths or 64.4 deaths/day

Returning to ‘highly likely’ tactics: Russia rejects UK’s ‘unsubstantiated’ claims of hacking & election meddling


"Earlier in the day British Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab claimed that “it is almost certain that Russian actors sought to interfere in the 2019 General Election through the online amplification of illicitly acquired and leaked Government documents.” "


Is this state of affairs, "Almost Certain", more or less serious than previous state of, "Highly Probable" utilised in the Dorset Scam?

Getting headaches wearing a mask.? Reduced O2 and breathing your own CO2 emissions most likely the cause:

Misskit, if you think Vlad is Robin Hood you really need to think again.

Russia is doing everything it can to sow unrest in other countries. This is the hallmark of a government that can do little at home and only offers destructive products internationally.

Luckily, there are others who make everything possible to smoothen all the "unrests"...

It seems that the sanctions imposed in China has a great impact...

Coronavirus: Chinese economy bounces back into growth
16 July 2020

China's economy grew 3.2% in the second quarter following a record slump.

The world's second biggest economy saw a sharp decline in the first three months of the year during coronavirus lockdowns.

But figures released on Wednesday show China's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) returned to growth during April to June.

The numbers are being closely watched around the world as China restarts its economy.

The figure is higher than experts were predicting and points towards a V-shaped recovery - that is, a sharp fall followed by a quick recovery.

It also means China avoids going into a technical recession - signified as two consecutive periods of negative growth.

The bounce-back follows a steep 6.8% slump in the first quarter of the year, which was the biggest contraction since quarterly GDP records began.

The country's factories and businesses were shutdown for most of this period as China introduced strict measures to curb the spread of the virus

The government has been rolling out a raft of measures to help boost the economy, including tax breaks.
