A regional COVID-19 quarantine facility is being constructed in Queensland, Australia. The Queensland government is building the coronavirus quarantine camp in Toowoomba, about 80 miles from the city of Brisbane.



The new COVID-19 quarantine facility is expected to have 500 beds available by the end of the year and a total of 1,000 beds by the end of the first quarter of 2022. Construction has already started at the site near the Wellcamp Airport. The COVID-19 quarantine facility will be built by property development firm Wagner Corporation, which owns the land. Queensland government will operate the regional facility once it is operational.

Many Businesses Expect to Raise Prices in Face of Higher Input Costs: Fed



A number of U.S. businesses facing supply-crunch-driven inflation in input costs say they expect to pass on higher prices to consumers, according to the Federal Reserve.



Producer price inflation and its potential spillover onto store shelves is one the themes from the Fed's most recent version of the "Beige Book," released on Sept. 8, which provides an economic snapshot of the United States from early July through August, based on reporting from the central bank's 12 districts.



Resource shortages were "pervasive" and input price pressures "widespread," with many businesses reporting difficulty sourcing key inputs, even at greatly increased prices, the report says.



"Firms have continued to report exceptionally widespread increases in input prices—particularly in the construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, and transportation and warehousing industries," the report's authors wrote, adding that contacts in all sectors expect widespread input price increases for the rest of the year.



Half of the districts described input price inflation as "strong," while the other half characterized it as "moderate."



In many cases, higher input costs are likely to translate into higher prices for consumers.

Leaked Zoom Video Reveals Hospital Officials Discussing COVID-19 Scare Tactics



A leaked Zoom conference reveals a doctor questioning how to increase the count of COVID-19 patient numbers on the hospital's dashboard report.



The media outlet National File said it obtained the recording from an "internal source" at the Novant Health System that includes New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, North Carolina.



National File posted the video on its Twitter feed on Sept. 10.



National File and other local media outlets that reported on the leak identified the people in the video as Mary Kathryn Rudyk, a physician at the medical center, who is asking Carolyn Fisher, the hospital's director of marketing, how to inflate the number of people classified as COVID-19 patients for the purpose of generating fear in the unvaccinated.



"I think we have to be more blunt, we have to be more forceful—we have to say something coming out—if you don't get vaccinated, you know you are going to die," Rudyk said in the video. "Let's just be really blunt to these people."



The video begins with Fisher explaining how her department is communicating "meaningful numbers"—the percentage of the unvaccinated, vaccinated, and percentage of deaths in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)—to the public.



Rudyk then asked how post-COVID cases can be included in the number of people hospitalized for COVID-19.



"My feeling at this point in time is that maybe we need to be completely a little bit more scary for the public," Rudyk said. "There are many people still hospitalized that we're considering post-COVID, but we are not counting in those numbers, so how do we include those post-COVID people in the numbers of patients we have in the hospital?"



Fisher asked if she meant every patient who has been in the hospital "since the beginning of COVID?"



Rudyk answered, "Well, that are still in, and that's something I can take to someone else, but I think those are important numbers: the patients that are still in the hospital, that are off the COVID floor, but still are occupying the hospital for a variety of reasons."



Also on the Zoom conference call was Shelbourn Stevens, president of New Hanover Regional Medical Center, who said those patients are classified as "recovered."



"But I do think, from our standpoint, we would still consider them a COVID patient because they're still healing," Stevens said.

The chief executive of a hospital in Texas warned that his facility faces closure after President Joe Biden's announcement last week that most healthcare workers get the COVID-19 vaccine.



If the mandate goes through, Brownfield Regional Medical Center CEO Jerry Jasper said that "20 percent of my, probably 20 to 25 percent of my staff will have to go away if that's the case," reported KCBD. Losing those workers, he said, would likely cause his hospital to shut down, and losing Medicare and Medicaid money isn't an option either.

A lack of face-to-face doctor visits in the UK since the start of the CCP virus pandemic may result in 10,000 unnecessary deaths due to cancer, said a report from University College London published this week.



Researchers with the university said that a drop in emergency referrals from general practitioners in 2020 across the United Kingdom resulted in some 40,000 late diagnoses of cancer. The delays, combined with longer National Health Service (NHS) treatment due to the pandemic, mean that thousands will die "significantly earlier" from cancer, the report found.

We must end this global pandemic soon and learn to live with COVID-19. The consequences will be catastrophic if we don't.



Workers Who Maintain Supply Chains Warn of Worldwide 'System Collapse'



Several industry groups have warned world leaders of a worldwide supply-chain "system collapse" due to pandemic restrictions, coming as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell suggested that the current period of higher inflation will last until 2022.



The International Chamber of Shipping, a coalition of truck drivers, seafarers, and airline workers, has warned in a letter to heads of state attending the United Nations General Assembly that governments need to restore freedom of movement to transportation workers amid persistent COVID-19 restrictions and quarantines.



If nothing is done, they warned of a "global transport system collapse" and suggested that "global supply chains are beginning to buckle as two years' worth of strain on transport workers take their toll," according to the letter. It was signed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the International Road Transport Union (IRU), and the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF), which represent some 65 million transport workers around the world.



"All transport sectors are also seeing a shortage of workers, and expect more to leave as a result of the poor treatment millions have faced during the pandemic, putting the supply chain under greater threat," the letter said. "We also ask that WHO and the ILO raise this at the U.N. General Assembly and call on heads of government to take meaningful and swift action to resolve this crisis now," they wrote.



Meanwhile, retailer Costco said it's chartering its own container ships between Asia and North America amid supply chain issues worldwide, Chief Financial Officer Richard Galanti said in a recent conference call.



Costco, he said, is dealing with "port delays, container shortages, COVID disruptions, shortages on various components, raw materials and ingredients, labor cost pressures" along with "trucks and driver shortages," Fox News reported.

Senior Australian police officer sensationally quits during interview, says 'vast majority' of cops don't believe in COVID orders



A senior police officer in Australia is being investigated after she sensationally resigned from the Victoria Police force during a live interview. The cop, who said her law enforcement employment was "the best job" she ever had, revealed that a "vast majority" of her former officers don't believe in and don't want to enforce the strict COVID-19 orders enacted in Australia.



Former Acting Senior Sergeant Krystle Mitchell made a splash by publicly resigning during a revealing interview on Friday. On her way out, Mitchell said government orders to enforce COVID-19 orders troubled her "greatly" after seeing "the damage it is causing the community."



"There was a big thought process and battle of morals and integrity within me about what I wanted to do and how I see my organization being used during this pandemic and it troubled me greatly," Mitchell told Discernable host and founder Matthew Wong.



"The consequences of me being here today is that I will be resigning from Victoria Police, effective at the end of this interview, because the consequences of me coming out publicly would be dismissal," she said. "So I'm choosing to quit, and I'm quitting because I can't remedy in my soul anymore the way in which my organization that I love to work for is being used and the damage it's causing in the reputation of Victoria Police and the damage it's causing to the community."
