Coronavirus Outbreak

[tombogan03884]

COVID 19 is a crock of BS. The true numbers are not very different from normal flu .
Are you "men" capable of making your own decisions?
Or are you sheep, un able to survive with out instructions from CNN ?

 I hope that we, and I mean US as in the United States, have learned at least one important lesson from this.  Make stuff in the US again.  I hope that our politicians can put their petty bickering aside long enough to realize that a plan needs to be developed and implemented to manufacture critical supplies and materials domestically.  America based manufacturing is critical.

So what is the end game for Corona Virus and Covid 19?  Its going to be with us for a long time.  Years?  Second wave?  (In my opinion, Yes!)  Continuing infections and fatalities.  When and how do we reengage?  What will the new normal be?  Will we ever get back to the old normal?  Us old geezers and old hags, being more vulnerable, as well as other vulnerable persons,  will likely have a different path forward than others.  I've been reading a series of articles by Amy Rogers, MD, PhD, a microbiologist, educator, journalist, writer, and speaker.  She has a series of articles (4 at this time) relating to the end game.  The information in articles make a lot of logical sense to me, and most likely not what we are hearing elsewhere.  I believe this is the path forward that will transpire.

Stay safe, stay strapped, stay courageous, stay strong.

They haven't learned the lessons from previous epidemics, I don't see them learning any thing from this one other than they are a bunch of obedient little sheep.

Putting all of the government control, and the screaming for more obedience to government control, aside, I am most frustrated by the ignoring of the rolling shortages and the lack of preparation as advised by FEMA over the last decade.

For years people have made fun of "preppers."  As we see shortages of different needed items and staples, where is the ridicule of those that lived on the European model - Daily shopping for that day's needs.

The ignorant A holes act like this never happened before because they've been protected for a 100 years by the same healthcare system they expect to keep them alive for free.

My younger son calls folks like that helpless "titty-babies"......

I keep reminding, attempting to remind, folks that we have been through the end of the world many times.  Our most well known include Small Pox (when we shot people, and burned their bodies in their homes with all of their possessions - I for going back to this approach), the Spanish Flu, Polio, Measles, Swine Flu, Avian Flu, HIV/AIDS, and MERSA.  Just to name a few from the last one and a half centuries.  In each of these cases it was the end of the world, and things will never be the same again.  Guess what - WE RECOVERED AND ADVANCED!

The majority of folks these days are not prepared for calamity of any type.

Like my great-grandpappy said, "I might die of the pox, but I ain't gonna starve."

[tombogan03884]

That's exactly my point. This isn't a "calamity".
It's just a thing.
And it used to be a regular, predictable "thing".
The reason Congress recesses in August is because that was Yellow Fever season.
We have all the laws we need . They have been in place since before there was an America.
But no one remembers them.
The item I'm most familiar with is the Cruise ships, where were the Quarantine areas every port used to have ?
For that matter, where were the Quarantine pennants the ships should be flying ?
You are wasting your time discussing the virus. You should be dragging liberals out and hanging them for treason and incompetence.
Truthfully I could almost overlook their treson, but the incompetence is simply unacceptable.

[MikeBjerum]

Tom,  Remember when this whole thing was hitting our shores, and they were quarantining passengers, both on the ships and off?  Remember the uproar about how dangerous, horrible, inhumane it was?  That is why we don't quarantine anymore.  Nobody cares enough!
