US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News
The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News
President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

New explosions near Iranian port cities, says state media | BBC News
Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

US launches more strikes on Iran and resumes naval blockade of ports | BBC News
The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

A Dilettante Praesupposita Theorem: Face Masks are made with Formaldehyde.
Surgical Mask Dermatitis caused by Formaldehyde (releasers) during the COVID‐19 pandemic (Medical Definition of Releasers: a stimulus that serves as the initiator of complex reflex behavior) See Formaldehyde article at: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/cod.13626
Imagine that Masks are made with Formaldehyde.
Below are some excerpts from Formaldehyde article at:
https://www.drugs.com/cdi/formaldehyde.html
Formaldehyde is used to get rid of warts.
It is used to treat odor and very bad sweating of the feet.
This Medicine Formaldehyde may interact with other drugs or health problems.
Tell your doctor and pharmacist about all of your drugs (prescription or OTC, natural products, vitamins) and health problems. You must check to make sure that it is safe for you to take formaldehyde with all of your drugs and health problems. Do not start, stop, or change the dose of any drug without checking with your doctor.
What are some things I need to know or do while I take Formaldehyde?
•Tell all of your health care providers that you take formaldehyde. This includes your doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and dentists.
•This medicine may cause harm if swallowed. If formaldehyde is swallowed, call a doctor or poison control center right away.
•Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan on getting pregnant. You will need to talk about the benefits and risks of using formaldehyde while you are pregnant.
•Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding. You will need to talk about any risks to your baby.
Below are excerpts from an article “What is Formaldehyde” at:
https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/formaldehyde.html
Exposure to formaldehyde has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory test animals. Exposure to relatively high amounts of formaldehyde in medical and occupational settings has been linked to some types of cancer in humans, but the effect of exposure to small amounts is less clear.
Studies in the lab
In rats, inhaled formaldehyde was linked to cancers of the nasal cavity and leukemia. In one study of rats given drinking water containing formaldehyde there was an increase in stomach tumors, while another showed no increase in any kind of tumor or cancer.
In mice, applying a 10% solution of formaldehyde to the skin was linked to quicker development of cancers caused by another chemical.
Several epidemiology studies of people exposed to formaldehyde in the workplace have reported a link between formaldehyde exposure and cancer of the nasopharynx (the uppermost part of the throat), but this outcome has not been observed in other studies. These studies looked at workers in occupational setting that use or make formaldehyde and formaldehyde resins, as well as at people who work as embalmers.
Studies of people exposed to formaldehyde in the workplace have also found a possible link to cancer of the nasal sinuses.
Besides the Facts – There is no codified Mask Law and We all will never wear a mask anyway. Adding in one or two serious points about Formaldehyde Health Facts to the conversation may help start someone to think for themselves for the first time in months.

Masks do work, so wear a mask, over your mouth and nose. You do have to understand that the mask works best as a way to keep viruses from spreading FROM an infected person. There is probably some benefit to wearing a mask for the wearer too. A face shield in addition to a mask is not a bad idea either. One also has to maintain a "social distance" thought to be at least six feet, even if both parties are wearing masks. Wash your hands hands frequently and well with soap and water. Don't touch your face without first washing your hands. Finally, if you don't have to congregate with others, then don't congregate with others.

Don't forget that the BBC is like the corrupt commie news media here in usa. They promote the virus propaganda for globalists. Use you head and think. Nations who had no restrictive lockdowns and had voluntary isolation (like you would stay home with a flu or cold) are doing great! Also Fauci himself said at first that wearing masks for the virus isn't helpful and he also promoted hcq years ago. Why the fear mongering now? Wake up world. They are pushing global agenda 2030. They need compliant and afraid populations to carry it out. The best thing the world can do is choose freedom. C'mon young people this is your place to shine! Be peaceful but forceful in not wearing masks in stores or outside! Once freedom is given up it is VERY hard to get back.

Not a single mouth mask, not even the very best and expensive type is effective in filtering out viruses.
Viruses are measuring between 20 and 300 nanometre in size , the best quality FFP3 facemasks are able to filter out 99% of particles starting from the size of 600 nanometer.
So all virussen are just passing through these mask without the any obstacle, at best they are able to filter out some bacteria greater in size than 600 nanometer.

Masks for general public use are a total political joke that follows zero scientific research and rational , it's mind boggling that nobody can see that! Exhale into a mask and tiny moisture droplets leaches/permeates through the fibers just waiting to be touched. Look at anyone with a mask around their neck, the second that mask is touched and doesn't immediately disinfect their hands you may as well lick your fingers and shake everybody's hands. That's exactly how contagious these types of viruses are and exactly how they are being transmitted around the globe like wildfire. Everyone that is walking around wearing a mask and not using proper medical procedural mask wearing protocol (basically zero percent of the population) is unwittingly passing potentially deadly pathogenic viruses onto everything and anything touched. It happens just that easily, often and quickly millions of times everyday, just look around people. This is an epidemiological fact that everyone is obligated to learn! 100 years of infectious disease research and empirical knowledge of virology containment and mask protocol gone in a political blink of an eye, as if there has never been a past pandemic and no epidemiologist has ever before studied viral infections. Listen to what experts said just a few months ago! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZiGJUbxqww&t=35s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYI6ngjDUBo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNkjJHliMZo

This is the first pandemic I every lived through, the only thing missing is a virus. I have not heard of one person in Philadelphia, Bucks, or Montgomery that had a virus. I have friends and family that live and other countries and not one person had a virus or knows of anyone that had a virus. This clearly is a political game and we are the pawns. Communism Propaganda "It's for your safety" Biology 101- To prevent contagious disease. 1) Cover your mouth if your sneeze. 2) Cover your nose if you cough 3) Wash your hands. And here's the best one!!! God, our creator made the human body with a built in weapon to fight off any man-made virus, it's called an IMMUNE SYSTEM. Stop trying to use propaganda to control people by telling them to wear a face mask, it is the worst form of abuse!!!!! Disease and death was always the best weapon to control the masses—- FEAR is the currency of CONTROL—- The bigger the LIE the BETTER people will believe it. Adolf Hitler. Death is a part of life, that is what humans do. The good new, there is not death, only life.

1:39 Wait, huh? You've done no study to indicate that. But just the very idea that cloth face coverings are "not protecive" to those who might inhale some viral particles is ridiculous. Of course it will help. How much, is the question. But it's probably quite helpful. It's a complicated travel path from the mouth of person A, through or under the mask material of Person B, then into their nose or mouth, and then finally making it into the respiratory tract of person B. All the while maintaining enough of the viral load (which matters a lot) to make Person B sick. To say that wearing cloth over your nose and mouth doesn't help with that is patently ridiculous. It's analogous to saying that a low-quality kevlar vest provides no protection from of a bullet of any size, from any gun, when you haven't even tested it in the first place.
It's still helpful to wear a mask for you, and I sure as hell will be wearing one to help protect myself more than to protect others from me.

I now know of 9 people who supposedly had CV. All are fine. I also know 3 people who are at this moment fighting for their lives because of cancer. What is the CV recovery rate? Over 99%. But we will close everything down and cause people to lose everything. Be free. IF you want to wear a mask wear one. If you do not want to then don't. I know a man who goes shopping without a mask even though it is mandated. He doesn't cause trouble…shops and goes. No one has harassed him so far. These mask requirements are not laws.

Coincidences?!!!??? According to research funding data published in open sources, at least 28 projects commissioned by the US Army have been implemented in Kazakhstan over the past eight years. They involved not only local specialists, but also military personnel from the US Navy Medical center (Maryland), employees Of the Bundeswehr Institute of Microbiology (Munich) and military laboratories in Porton Down (great Britain).
The first reason to suspect foreign specialists of careless handling of dangerous infections appeared in 2007. Then an American laboratory was opened at the Institute of Virology in Tashkent (Uzbekistan), and the Pentagon allocated a military grant to study brucellosis in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. These projects were codenamed UZ-4 and KZ-2, respectively. The next year, a sharp jump in the incidence of brucellosis was noted throughout the region, and anthrax appeared.
The next surge in brucellosis in Uzbekistan was recorded exactly after the opening of American laboratories in Andijan and Ferghana in 2013. In 2013, the KZ-29 project in Kazakhstan began research on Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) with the participation of specialists from the US Navy and the British Porton down. Biologists studied the spread of the disease by ticks in the South of Kazakhstan on the basis of the" Center for particularly dangerous infections " in Almaty.

WEAR MASKS!!!
1. You wear mask other doesn't and is infected = 70% chance of transmission
2. Other way round , wearer is infected = 3% Chance of transmission
3. BOTH with masks, one infected = 1.5% chance of transmission
(Assuming the chance is 1 if no masks are worn.)
–
The trouble is looking at it from a self-orientated perspective instead of a collective effort.
If self-orientated you will only care about point 1 and hence not care about wearing a mask etc.

Using a 3D face Shield protects even further since it cannot penetrate PVC. and deflects air vectors away from the face.

Qatar mandated face coverings on 17th March, 10 days later, the maximum incubation period of the diesease, their infection rate fell dramatically and continues to fall!!
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/qatar/
–
It is estimated that approx 25% could be Asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic at any one time in the population
Even if only 20% of people wore a mask this would reduce the rate by
20% x 25% x 98.5% = 4.9% reduction
100% x 25% x 98.5% = 24.6%
Significant numbers even if only 20% of people do it. Much more if EVERYONE DOES IT!!
–
Also, unconfirmed as of yet but Face shields do appear work.
An estimated reduction of transmission of air particulates of 96% additional gain maybe a lot more since particulates cannot penetrate PVC.
–
Also, the R rate would go down given significantly even better results over time combating the exponential rise with a negative exponent as more and more people adopt mask wearing/ face covering plus the cumulative effect of compound depreciation over time.
–
If you want to understand the Maths it's all here:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468042720300117#fig1
–
If you were wearing any old mask you chance of transmission assuming someone was within 2 meters and infected with no mask would only give a 30% reduction in the chance of transmission, according to research. (i.e. 100% -70%)
If there was more than one infected person the chance of transmission would be cumulative.
i.e.
1 person = 70%
2 people = 91%
3 people = 97.3%
4 people = 98.6%….etc
i.e. 4 or more not wearing mask within 2 meters would make no significant difference to your chances.
–
These figures assumes that chance of infection with no protection within 2 meters of the infected is 100%…which is unlikely to be the case.
–
Hence, why everyone should wear masks!! Do it to protect others and it will help overall…the more it catches on the more people we protect and the much more we will be protected by many a magnitudes greater – exponentially so! Literally a 'snowball effect'.
–
Japan … where wearing masks in public is almost an obsession anyway – crowded subways, streets/parks etc…all throughout the Pandemic!! – Visited there 17 times – if you DON'T wear a mask during Flu season you can get sometimes get looks.
