Twelve Top Experts for Today's Interviews from NewsReleaseWire
1) Pandemics, EMP, Solar Flares … Too Much for Government Alone
If we're close to catastrophic failure with COVID-19, doesn't this identify a catastrophic gap in America's ability to survive the future? Biowarfare? EMP? Cyber Warfare? Solar Flare?
1. If our grids and supply chains suddenly go down, and if our state and federal government can't rescue 300 million people, what happens to life, liberty, and freedom? How many people suffer and die?
2. Can state governments and the private sector work together in defending the people from a sudden loss of our basic infrastructures? Food, water, medical supplies? Communication? Transportation? Law and Order?
3. Does the SAFE STATE concept restore civil defense as a "check and balance" — or is it a catastrophic defense for modern-day survival?
4. Would the more progressive states reject the concept that the general populace needs to be well-organized and well-armed for backup survival? Rescue force? Workforce? Law and Order?

2) The Covid-19 Pandemic from a Spiritual Perspective
We live in an unprecedented time. People all over the world feel forced to deal with an invisible threat—the Covid-19 virus. They've been asked to stay home and create distance between themselves and others. Many have lost jobs, businesses, and loved ones.
This pandemic raises many questions, like, Why is this happening?
Is God punishing humanity?
What will the future hold? and How can I survive this? Indeed, the pandemic makes us ask the big, essential questions.
And we are hungry for the answers, especially as we see the number of coronavirus cases and deaths rising daily. I've been paying attention to how spiritual thought leaders understand the pandemic. Their perspective resonates deeply within me. More than that, they have come to the same conclusions at which I have arrived. I'd like to share them with you with the hope that you will find the insights uplifting food for thought and that they will give you hope for a better future.
First, know this: We are in a time of transformation. Humanity's level of consciousness and spiritual alignment is changing…for the better.

3) TELEMEDICINE RISING IN THE CORONAVIRUS ERA
There's a new term being heard in medical circles that is becoming the new normal in the coronavirus era: TeleMedicine and it's on the rise. Joining us in this the discussion of this rising trend is Dr. Dan O'Brien.
Welcome Dr. Dan. Q&A: Dr. Dan question: What new healthcare technologies do you see being used in the future because of the COVID-19 outbreak?
Dr. Dan answer: The use of telemedicine is important as ever during this time because it allows patients to get access to their health care provider virtually without going into the clinic and potentially risking getting other infected with COVID-19. Telemedicine is making a very positive contribution to healthcare. Dr. Dan question: Could a technology like telemedicine prevent the future spread of COVID 19? Dr. Dan answer: Telemedicine is emerging as an effective solution for precaution and prevention measures as it s allowing symptomatic patients to stay at home, and also this allows to stop the spread of the virus to mass populations and to front line healthcare workers.
Dr Dan question: What are public health officials and the CDC saying about telemedicine solutions?
Dr. Dan answer: The CDC is urging the public and medical staff to use telehealth solutions for non-urgent communication as this reduces the burden of emergency rooms.

4) Wasting Food versus Feeding People
Wasting Food versus Feeding People
While this Herman Trend Alert focuses on the dislocation of food in the US, this solution could work for small and large farms worldwide.
Many of you may have seen on television or read the New York Times article about the fact that farmers are ploughing over their fields rather than harvesting the vegetables or about dairy farmers dumping thousands of gallons of milk or about poultry farmers smashing millions of eggs.
To have this happen when thousands of families are waiting in lines at under-resourced food banks was very disturbing to me. Something is very wrong with this picture! Why is this happening?
With more than half of the restaurants and almost all of the hotels shut down and the cruise lines on hiatus, all of the produce, all of the eggs, all of the meat and poultry, and all of the dairy to serve their guests is simply not needed. To give you an idea of the extent of this waste, according to estimates from the country's largest dairy cooperative, Dairy Farmers of America, their farmers are dumping 3.7 million gallons of milk each day and one chicken processor is crushing three-quarters of a million eggs every week.
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of families are lining up in their cars at food banks throughout the United States waiting for the bags and boxes they need to feed their families.

5) What Trappist Monks can Teach us about Effective COVID-19
Quarantining With the world in lock down and life itself on hold, you might think that the last place to look for answers would be a Trappist monastery. Yet, August Turak would disagree.
Turak is an award-winning author and successful entrepreneur who attributes his success to the Trappist monks of Mepkin Abbey.
Mepkin Abbey is located just outside Charleston, SC, and Turak has spent 24 years living and working temporarily alongside the monks as a frequent monastic guest. Welcome August, first of all, what led you to start hanging out with Trappist monks in the first place? In 1996 I was an entrepreneur doing some night teaching at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
My students persuaded me to go sky diving and I compound fractured my ankle. This precipitated panic attacks and I fell into a deep depression. Another Duke student happened to call and tell me that he was spending his summer at Mepkin Abbey as a monastic guest.
The next thing I knew, Brother John was helping me bring my bags into one of Mepkin's guest houses. I have been returning ever since. The monks saved my life

6) RISING CRIME DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC CAUSES HIGH GUN SALES
Reports of increased crime as the coronavirus pandemic continues, has triggered renewed public interest in gun ownership, triggering higher gun sales and gun safety training.
Joining us in this discussion is Tom Gresham (or other spokesman from list below), spokesman for Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
Q&A: 1. What kind of crimes are increasing during the COVID-19 pandemic? Answer: Fortunately, most of the crime now being reported involves commercial burglary of unoccupied businesses.
2. How long do you think it will be for more violent crimes to ramp up? Answer: We don't know. That's the whole point, so people, many of whom have never before owned a gun, have determined that they need a means of personal safety, for themselves, their families and their homes.
3. Where can people buy guns currently? Are gun shops considered essential services? Answer: After numerous lawsuits by the 2nd Amendment Foundation, the gun stores are now largely considered essential services. Published reports say burglaries are up in cities such as San Jose and Seattle, both in states where governors have arbitrarily decided gun stores are "non-essential."

7) Plan to Put America Back to Work in May
By Former Nebraska State Treasurer/Attorney General with Harvard MBA
Joining us today is Don Stenberg, former Nebraska State Treasurer.
Don says that it is vital that most businesses be allowed to reopen by early to mid-May at the latest. Stenberg holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and is the author of a new book, Eavesdropping on Lucifer.
Q1. Why do you say that it is urgent that America get back to work in the next few weeks despite the coronavirus?
A1. The shutdown of businesses across the nation is having devastating effects on businesses and individuals. In the last 3 weeks nearly 17 million people have become unemployed in the United States. Already, there are many small businesses that are essentially bankrupt and will never be able to reopen. For many of them, this is the loss of a small business that has taken a lifetime to build. We cannot allow this to continue or millions more will become unemployed and tens of thousands of additional businesses will be destroyed.
Q2. So, what are you proposing exactly?
A2. In most places in the country, by early to mid-May, we need to allow virtually every business and organization that has been shut down to reopen. That would include restaurants, bars, retail stores, hairdressers, parks and places of worship. People would be strongly encouraged to maintain six-foot social distancing whenever possible and to wear masks. Anyone who is sick would be asked to remain at home. Older persons and persons with weak immune systems would be encouraged to remain isolated to the extent possible. Restrictions on international travel would continue

8) What Was China's Role in COVID-19 and Possible Biological Warfare?
What is China's involvement in COVID-19, its origin and its bioweapons research? Was this novel coronavirus just a result of a poorly supervised wet market?
Or was it a lab experiment gone bad or even outright biological warfare?
If so, was its escape accidental or intentional, perhaps to test its ability to spread for a future release of an even more serious pathogen? Joining us to discussion this topic is David Rubin, former mayor in Israel who is familiar with the psychology of biological warfare and weapons of mass destruction.
Q&A: 1. In Israel, you are no stranger to rocket attacks, shooting attacks, or other dangers. You yourself were shot my terrorists in an attack that left your then 3-year-old son in critical condition. How do citizens of Israel get used to that sort of stress? Answer: Like it or not, it's a central part of our lives. Thank God, we survived, and life must go on.
2. Use of the phrase 'weapons of mass destruction' has often been ridiculed, while anyone who dares to warn about them is branded a conspiracy nut, but as one who is well aware of the Iranian nuclear threat to Israel, are they mistaken? Answer: Absolutely, the threat is very real, and the Chinese Coronavirus Crisis may be a case in point.
3. Are you saying that Covid-19, which we know originated in China, falls into the category of "weapons of mass destruction"? Answer: There is a very convincing documentary made by Epoch Times that raises very serious questions about the Chinese Communist Party's possible involvement with biological weapons. It's not a stretch to say that the CCP, which clearly seeks covert world domination, may have concocted Covid-19 with not so altruistic goals.
4. Wait a second, are you saying that it may have been intentionally produced to be used as a biological assault weapon against the free world? Answer: What I am saying is that the virus may not be just an accidental infection originating in the Wuhan wet market. Rather, it may have been a lab experiment gone bad or even outright biological warfare.

9) The Surgeon General is Correct -- Jerome Adams, Warns—it's going to get bad
Jerome Adams, Warns—it's gonna get bad A physician chimes in on why many people are taking the Pandemic seriously. With the death toll now doubling in the US and the number of cases of COVID 19 escalating, there are some individuals who are acting like nothing is happening.
Surgeon General, Jerome Adams notes that there are still individuals who are in a la-la land of denial. Q: Doctor, help us distinguish between the hype and reality?
How bad are things going to get? A: First of all, let's remember these are uncharted waters.
No one really knows exactly how bad its going to get. Extrapolating from Italy, the Surgeon General is correct.
Things are going to get worse before they get better.
Q: Doctor, why do you think people taking the COVID-19 epidemic seriously?
A: The virus probably hasn't affected someone they know or love. YET. Let's do the math. Based on conservative studies most people have active relationships with about 150 people. Knowing the mortality of the virus that would mean every person would know about 5 people who die in this pandemic.
Q: Doctor, tell us, what do say to those individuals are behaving like nothing is happening?
A: First of all, let's keep this in mind. If you are healthy, it's not about you.

10) Fear and illness: In the Wake of a New Pandemic, Faith and Support Matter
As the U.S. continues to deal with the feared Coronavirus, this potential crisis presents a great opportunity to be a source of strength and support for one another.
Patti Garibay, Cofounder of American Heritage Girls, is available to discuss her wholesome organization and how they could help deal with fear and anxiety caused by COVID-19, as well as ways their members can serve others in this time of crisis.
Q&A: 1. Amidst the rapid-spreading Coronavirus, and the anxiety that it is causing so many, how does the American Heritage Girls Program (AHG) help girls overcome feelings of fear and anxiety?
The American Heritage Girls Program enables a girl to grow in her FAITH – in every sense of the word – instead of increasing in panic, fear, and anxiety. The AHG Program helps girls fortify and strengthen their faith as it pertains to believing and serving Christ and being confident and assured that God cares and protects them. During this time of the COVID-19 pandemic,
AHG is equipping girls to act from a place of both faith and preparation, by adhering to the safety precautions and suggestions for disease prevention laid out by the CDC. 1. Girls today are experiencing heightened rates of diagnosed anxiety and depression disorders. How do you think information about the Coronavirus plays into their fears and disorders? Information about the Coronavirus is accessible everywhere. It's nearly impossible to step into your car without hearing the Coronavirus as the topic of the hour on every radio station or scroll through your social media newsfeed without seeing countless posts about it. Coronavirus conversations are in classrooms, the workplace, the grocery store.
There is no escaping Coronavirus information. Because of the nature of how we consume information in today's world, it's easy to be overwhelmed and even bogged down with the information which can quickly lead to fear and terror. I believe the speed of information sharing about the Coronavirus is significantly contributing to the rise of anxiety we are seeing all around us.

12) Are Handshakes a Relic of our pre-Coronavirus Past?
Dr. Mark Bruce is available via Zoom, Skype or phone from Milwaukee Intro:
Have you ever wondered why people shake hands upon greeting each other? The custom began thousands of years ago to show others you were not carrying a weapon
. But today, many of us may be carrying invisible weapons called viruses or other pathogens, so why the compulsion to connect hands?
Here to discuss this customary practice is Dr. Mark Bruce, an emergency physician from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Q&A: QUESTION: In an interview given by Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Trump's leading Coronavirus Task Force physician on Tuesday. https://www.newsweek.com/dr-fauci-americans-should-never-shake-hands-again-coronavirus-influenza-1496772 Dr. Fauci said that he felt that people should never shake hands again. Do you agree with that? ANSWER: The Covid-19 Pandemic has changed many things around the world, and in our culture, in a dramatically compressed time period.
One of the things that has quickly fallen out of favor is the traditional handshake greeting. It is useful to look back and see where this came from. The handshake is the most common physical greeting worldwide.
In Europe though, a kiss on the cheek is the norm. In Tajikistan, men greet each other with a kiss on the lips. In Thailand, to touch a member of the Royal Family in any way is a capital offense, and this carries over to the general population, who bow to each other in greeting.
