In Update #12, on the Wuhan New Coronavirus (officially “2019-ncov”), Chris Martenson reports:

“With over 20,000 people now confirmed infected, the Coronavirus outbreak continues increasing at an exponential rate. And that’s based on official data from the Chinese. There are many reasons to suspect those numbers are low vs reality . . . possibly much lower.

As Chris explains, even though we’ll have a lot more clarity on the coronavirus within two weeks, the time to make your preparations for the pandemic arriving in your community is NOW. Why? Because the downside to preparing early is very low, while the downside to being late is extremely high.

The imperfect data we do have is extremely concerning. If more clarity with time confirms the threat, everyone will be rushing to grab the same supplies (think shortages, hoarding, fights, etc). Why risk your health and that of your family? Stock up now.”

Chris continues tirelessly synthesizing the data and reporting back to you with understandable and practical insights.
