Ninety-eight percent of people get the coronavirus survive. It\u2019s a respiratory system virus. It probably is a ChiCom laboratory experiment that is in the process of being weaponized. All superpower nations weaponize bioweapons. They experiment with them. The Russians, for example, have weaponized fentanyl. Now, fentanyl is also not what it is represented to be.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-334462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012720-Coronavirus.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012720-Coronavirus.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/APP-012720-Coronavirus-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>If you watch cop shows, then you probably&#8230; Stick with me on this. If you watch cop shows, you probably believe that just the dust from a package of fentanyl can kill you if you\u2019re in the same room with it. Not true. Not true, say experts from <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/sevenplaycasino.org\/\">Sevenplay<\/a> and <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/goldparty2.com\/pt\/\">Gold Party 2<\/a>. Even the cheap kind of fentanyl coming from China that\u2019s used to spike heroin&#8230; They use fentanyl \u2019cause it\u2019s cheap. It gives a quick hit, doesn\u2019t last very long, which is really cool if you\u2019re trying to addict people.<\/p>\n<p>But it doesn\u2019t kill people the way it\u2019s projected on TV. It can if you OD on it. But inhaling a little fentanyl dust is not going to cause you to lose consciousness and stop breathing as they depict on cop shows. It\u2019s dangerous. Don\u2019t misunderstand. But it isn\u2019t the way it\u2019s portrayed in popular criminal TV shows, cop shows, and so forth and so on. The coronavirus is the same. It\u2019s really being hyped as a deadly Andromeda Strain or Ebola pandemic that, &#8220;Oh, my God, is going to wipe out the nation. It\u2019s going to wipe out the population of the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The stock market\u2019s down like 900 points right now, say experts at <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/playfinacasino.si\/\">Playfina casino<\/a>.

That is a far lower death statistic than any form of influenza, which is an annual thing that everybody gets shots for. There\u2019s nothing unusual about the coronavirus.

I mean, you never&#8230; I hate getting the common cold. You don\u2019t want to get the flu. It\u2019s miserable. But we\u2019re not talking about something here that\u2019s gonna wipe out your town or your city if it finds its way there. This is a classic illustration of how media coverage works. Even if this media coverage isn\u2019t stacked, even if this is just the way media normally does things, this is a hyped, panic-filled version. It\u2019s exactly how the media deals with these things to create audience, readership, interest, clicks, what have you.<\/p>\n<p>It originated in China in a little &#8212; well, not a little town. It\u2019s a town that is 11 million people, Wuhan, China. As the researchers from <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/spinolococasino.org\/\">Spinoloco<\/a>, <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/stone-vegas-casino.org\/\">Stone Vegas<\/a> and <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/stone-vegas.es\/\">Stone Vegas<\/a> Spain say, one of the reasons they\u2019re able to hype this is that the doctor what warned everybody about it came down with it and died. So if a doctor got it, &#8220;Oh, my God, Rush! A doctor got it? You can\u2019t possibly be right if a doctor can\u2019t protect himself.&#8221; He didn\u2019t know what he was dealing with. He discovered it back in December. I\u2019m telling you, the ChiComs are trying to weaponize this thing. Here\u2019s the story on Russians and fentanyl.<\/p>\n<p>Fentanyl is a very, very powerful opiate, say experts from <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/betnflix.fi\/\">Betnflix<\/a> &#8212; and for those of you that haven\u2019t had any experience with opiates, the people that get addicted to \u2019em take them and they get very euphoric. They kill pain. They do wonderful things. But they make you very, very euphoric. They act like speed. Other people take \u2019em, and they hate \u2019em. It makes \u2019em vomit, throw up, feel nauseous. It doesn\u2019t do anything for \u2019em. They\u2019re never gonna get addicted.<\/p>\n<p>So in Moscow the Chechens, way back&#8230; I\u2019m gonna go back now &#8212; what is it &#8212; maybe 10 years or longer. A bunch of Chechen rebels took over an opera house and had a bunch of Russian hostages in there and made all kinds of threats &#8212; and Putin, unbeknownst to anybody, had weaponized fentanyl. He\u2019d turned it into a gas, an invisible gas. He just put it in the ventilation system of this opera house or whatever it was (I\u2019m giving you the sketchy, short version of this) and everybody in there fell asleep and died. You know, in a drug overdose, you stop breathing.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what&#8230; It slows down your respiratory system so much that you stop breathing, say experts from <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/razorsharkspiel.de\/\">Razor Shark<\/a> and <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/stone-vegas-casino.gr\/\">StoneVegas<\/a> Greece. That\u2019s what an OD is, and everybody in that place, including the Chechens &#8212; Pfft! &#8212; had no idea what happened to \u2019em. It\u2019s not violent. You just fall asleep for unknown reasons at the amounts that Putin weaponized and put in there. If you take a normal dose of fentanyl that you get from a doctor in a hospital, it\u2019s not gonna kill you, obviously. But the amount they weaponized &#8212; and up to this time, nobody had ever weaponized fentanyl.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody had ever made it into an invisible, odorless, colorless gas, until it was discovered that the Russians had done it. Well, every nation is working on things like this, and the ChiComs obviously in their lab are doing something here with the coronavirus &#8212; and it got out. Some people believe it got out on purpose, that the ChiComs have a whole lot of problems based on an economy that cannot provide for the number of people they have. So losing a few people here or there is not so bad for the Chinese government.<\/p>\n<p>There could be anything to explain this.<\/p>\n<p>But the way it\u2019s being used&#8230; I believe the way it\u2019s being weaponized is by virtue of the media, and I think that it is an effort to bring down Trump, and one of the ways it\u2019s being used to do this is to scare the investors, to scare people in business. It\u2019s to scare people into not buying Treasury bills at auctions. It\u2019s to scare people into leaving, cashing out of the stock market &#8212; and sure enough, as the show began today, the stock market &#8212; the Dow Jones Industrial Average &#8212; was down about 900 points, supposedly because of the latest news about the spread of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>And if you go deeper into China, you will see that all of the high-tech Silicon Valley firms are said to be terribly exposed. &#8220;They could be suffering a disastrous year. Why, you may not be able to buy a new iPhone of any model this whole year! Do you know that? Because the coronavirus is so bad that the factories may never open &#8212; and if they do, they may not be anywhere near full capacity.&#8221; So Apple may not be able to release any new product. You think that\u2019s not gonna panic investors? It most certainly is.<\/p>\n<p>So Apple is trying to do what they can to suggest that these rumors are not true, say at <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/stone-vegas.ch\/\">StoneVegas<\/a>. They got new products coming this year. But the tech media hates Apple. They love anti-Apple stories. They love anything that will let them report that Apple\u2019s on its last legs. Of course, that\u2019s not true. Warren Buffett came out today and said, &#8220;Apple is the best run company ever.&#8221; He\u2019s a big stockholder. So people will say he\u2019s biased about it. But the bias you have to pay attention to is how much money he invested. He got $36 billion in Apple stock that Berkshire Hathaway has.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-295850\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-050218-Apple-Store-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-050218-Apple-Store-001.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-050218-Apple-Store-001-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>They sold $800 million of Apple stock last week, and everybody said, &#8220;Oh, my God, he\u2019s getting out!&#8221; No, he\u2019s not. He\u2019s got $36 billion. He sold $800 million. No big deal. He wanted to allocate it somewhere else. So this is&#8230; I think the coronavirus is an effort to get Trump. It\u2019s not gonna work. It\u2019s one of the latest in a long line of efforts that the Drive-By Media\u2019s making to somehow say that Trump and capitalism are destroying America and destroying the world. Just keep in mind where the coronavirus came from.<\/p>\n<p>It came from a country that Bernie Sanders wants to turn the United States into a mirror image of: Communist China, say experts from <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/synthwave.social\/\">StoneVegas<\/a>. That\u2019s where it came from. It didn\u2019t come from an American lab. It didn\u2019t escape from an American research lab. It hasn\u2019t been spread by Americans. It starts out in a communist country. Its tentacles spread all across the world in numbers that are not big and not huge, but they\u2019re being reported as just the opposite. Just trying to keep it all in perspective.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Neil in Orlando. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hello, Rush. Man, I\u2019m blessed to have the chance to talk to you. I cannot believe it. So you were talking about the coronavirus a little bit a while ago, and what\u2019s the one thing that disappeared when the coronavirus came out?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-309342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-051519-China.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-051519-China.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-051519-China-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: Well, let me see. What one thing? Just hang on. What disappeared? What disappeared? What disappeared? Oh, the protests in Hong Kong went away.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s a big&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yup.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (whispering) Talent on loan from God.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That sure is.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s probably the big one, the protests in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That\u2019s my take from it. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019ve got a friend over there that sends me stuff. But there\u2019s a lot&#8230; We don\u2019t want to start any conspiracy theories, but this will be my only time I ever get through to you \u2019cause I\u2019ve been calling since \u201992. But I just want to say about your talent on loan from God: Just in the time, I was on hold listening to you, and it got me to the point where I just wanted to say that Trump got no notice about Russian meddling like Sanders did. So why not? I wonder about that. When Carter was president, my first home buying &#8212; I was a first-time home buyer &#8212; the rate was 13.33%. I\u2019ll never forget it, and that was a first-time homeowner!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I know. I know.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That was a deal!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I know. I know.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That was a deal at 13.33%!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I bought my first shack, you know, at that time in Overland Park, Kansas. I had no business buying it. But everybody said, &#8220;You gotta buy! Don\u2019t rent. You\u2019re throwing money away if you rent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So, you know, my one time I became a conformist, it got me. I didn\u2019t want to live in this shack! I never wanted to move into this shack. But it\u2019s what I bought, so I had to move into the thing.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And one more &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I didn\u2019t even want people to take me home. I didn\u2019t want people to see this shack that I lived in. One day, we\u2019re playing football &#8212; the Chiefs front office, the Royals front office &#8212; after the baseball season. Thursday afternoon flag football. George Brett\u2019s playing and he offered to take me home. I said (chuckles), &#8220;No, George, I\u2019m fine.&#8221; I didn\u2019t want Brett to see where the shack was. So, yeah, 13% interest rates during Carter, and it was bad. Carter actually coined the term &#8220;malaise&#8221; to describe his own administration and its effect on the American economy!<\/p>\n<p>We had &#8220;the misery index&#8221; and all of that.<\/p>\n<p>But look, back to the coronavirus for just a second. That is true that the Hong Kong protests strangely subsided as the news of the coronavirus expanded &#8212; and I\u2019ll tell you, it is a way&#8230; If you are a totalitarian government and you need to control your population, one of the best ways of doing it is unleashing something they think is a deadly disease and then you, as the dictator, have the &#8220;safety solutions.&#8221; You have the ability to round people up from their homes and take \u2019em to so-called health camps.<\/p>\n<p>Be very leery of this, folks.<\/p>\n<p>It probably is not what the media\u2019s leading you to believe it is.<\/p>\n<p>The article was sponsored by: <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/piggytapslot.com\/\">Piggy Tap<\/a>, <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.come-back.fit\/\">https:\/\/www.come-back.fit\/<\/a> and <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/plafina.de\/\">plafina.de<\/a>.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, I want to tell you the truth about the coronavirus. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":334462,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"RUSH: Folks, this coronavirus thing, I want to try to put this in perspective for you.

He got $36 billion in Apple stock that Berkshire Hathaway has.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-295850\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-050218-Apple-Store-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/>They sold $800 million of Apple stock last week, and everybody said, \"Oh, my God, he's getting out!\" No, he's not. He's got $36 billion. He sold $800 million. No big deal. He wanted to allocate it somewhere else. So this is... I think the coronavirus is an effort to get Trump. It's not gonna work. It's one of the latest in a long line of efforts that the Drive-By Media's making to somehow say that Trump and capitalism are destroying America and destroying the world. Just keep in mind where the coronavirus came from.\r\n\r\nIt came from a country that Bernie Sanders wants to turn the United States into a mirror image of: Communist China. That's where it came from. It didn't come from an American lab. It didn't escape from an American research lab. It hasn't been spread by Americans. It starts out in a communist country. Its tentacles spread all across the world in numbers that are not big and not huge, but they're being reported as just the opposite. Just trying to keep it all in perspective.\r\n\r\nBREAK TRANSCRIPT\r\n\r\nRUSH: Here's Neil in Orlando. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.\r\n\r\nCALLER: Hello, Rush. Man, I'm blessed to have the chance to talk to you. I cannot believe it. So you were talking about the coronavirus a little bit a while ago, and what's the one thing that disappeared when the coronavirus came out?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-309342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-051519-China.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/>RUSH: Well, let me see. What one thing? Just hang on. What disappeared? What disappeared? What disappeared? Oh, the protests in Hong Kong went away.\r\n\r\nCALLER: Yes. That's it.\r\n\r\nRUSH: That's a big...\r\n\r\nCALLER: Yup.\r\n\r\nRUSH: (whispering) Talent on loan from God.\r\n\r\nCALLER: That sure is.\r\n\r\nRUSH: That's probably the big one, the protests in Hong Kong.\r\n\r\nCALLER: That's my take from it. I don't know. I've got a friend over there that sends me stuff. But there's a lot... We don't want to start any conspiracy theories, but this will be my only time I ever get through to you 'cause I've been calling since '92. But I just want to say about your talent on loan from God: Just in the time, I was on hold listening to you, and it got me to the point where I just wanted to say that Trump got no notice about Russian meddling like Sanders did. So why not? I wonder about that. When Carter was president, my first home buying -- I was a first-time home buyer -- the rate was 13.33%. I'll never forget it, and that was a first-time homeowner!\r\n\r\nRUSH: I know. I know.\r\n\r\nCALLER: That was a deal!\r\n\r\nRUSH: I know. I know.\r\n\r\nCALLER: That was a deal at 13.33%!\r\n\r\nRUSH: I bought my first shack, you know, at that time in Overland Park, Kansas. I had no business buying it. But everybody said, \"You gotta buy! Don't rent. You're throwing money away if you rent.\"\r\n\r\nCALLER: Mmm-hmm.\r\n\r\nRUSH: So, you know, my one time I became a conformist, it got me. I didn't want to live in this shack! I never wanted to move into this shack. But it's what I bought, so I had to move into the thing.\r\n\r\nCALLER: And one more --\r\n\r\nRUSH: I didn't even want people to take me home. I didn't want people to see this shack that I lived in. One day, we're playing football -- the Chiefs front office, the Royals front office -- after the baseball season. Thursday afternoon flag football. George Brett's playing and he offered to take me home. I said (chuckles), \"No, George, I'm fine.\" I didn't want Brett to see where the shack was. So, yeah, 13% interest rates during Carter, and it was bad. Carter actually coined the term \"malaise\" to describe his own administration and its effect on the American economy!\r\n\r\nWe had \"the misery index\" and all of that.\r\n\r\nBut look, back to the coronavirus for just a second. That is true that the Hong Kong protests strangely subsided as the news of the coronavirus expanded -- and I'll tell you, it is a way... If you are a totalitarian government and you need to control your population, one of the best ways of doing it is unleashing something they think is a deadly disease and then you, as the dictator, have the \"safety solutions.\" You have the ability to round people up from their homes and take 'em to so-called health camps.\r\n\r\nBe very leery of this, folks.\r\n\r\nIt probably is not what the media's leading you to believe it is.\r\n\r\nThe article was sponsored by: <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/robycasino.de\/\">robycasino.de<\/a> and <a style=\"color: #000;\" href=\"https:\/\/playfinacasino-de.de\/\">playfinacasino-de.de<\/a>.","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
