....” Think WW2 type rationing, by the time this ends”....

That’s pushing it a whole lot don’t you think? We haven’t even had a rush on groceries that wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for a line of heavy snow storms....and you’re talking rationing like WW 2?

“There is no fear mongering unless the reader takes it that way - that’s the reader’s problem, not the messenger’s. This sort of info is taking responsibility for the dark things that happen, things which only a few know, but can harm all of us. Its a warning and a notice to look deeper beyond so-called ‘authorities’. You can chose to look deeper or you can chose to listen to your ‘betters’ your ‘authorities’. But do not shoot the messengers!”

Everything you FEAR MONGERS have claimed about Coronavirus has been true so far. So what are we supposed to think?

I wouldn’t call China political system ‘unique’. It’s repressive, it’s abominable. People locked in their homes, even what they order for food controlled by ‘committee’, CCP armbands proliferate. China tv filled with glorification of a suppressive govt and military, submit yourselves to the state and community. Public square in Beijing with a massive tv screen playing political propaganda. The state provides your doctors be grateful. Google blocking internet access. Netizens arrested as traitors. People hospitalized for political reasons. Citizens warned against losing connection to society, internet access cut, for complaining. Complete mind control. Big Brother CCP has matured with this virus, where citizens are tracked as to what store they went to, for how long, what they bought, where they went afterward, all tracked by phone on a mandatory to download app.

“There’s the answer to why the US is short of masks, hand sanitizer and meds.”

That’s because the CDC PROMISED that the virus would simply ‘fly-over’ the United States - so no need to prepare...or at least that’s what Normalcy Bunch here thinks.

“Why SXSW hasn’t cancelled?”

Well, if it doesn’t end up being canceled, perhaps we can start to take some control of this country back.

If there is no data, it cannot be washed - so to speak.

People who have other contacts elsewhere or have knowledge of these sorts of things are trying to say something that cannot be said directly - so those who prefer to hide are free to do so or skip the comment - others would like to know more and should not be attacked or driven off

companies are going to do that anyway, as they chase cheap labor around the globe. It’s getting expensive to do business in China.

Actually pretty incredible tracking.

Reality...we don’t have that ability and there in rest a huge difference.

South Korea is doing a better job...why?

Homogenous population. It's easier to herd cats than to try to get Americans to comply with anything.

that’s crazy talk. There’s zero evidence that any American has carried any virus to other countries. The only American CV victim was an ex-pat resident of Wuhan.

Pretty obvious, considering the China (and now Asia) blow-up, and our country continuing with happy-talk while the virus is exploding around us. Hard not to see.

I suspect that we think EXACTLY the same on this one...

Yes from the little I read/heard about it, when the immune system ramps up high to kill it, a sometimes a cytokine storm can occur, creating mass inflammation. From there the organs are in trouble, mostly the lungs with this disease. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? Ugh.

from your link

CALIFORNIA

“Price gouging restrictions have gone into effect statewide,” Becerra said at a news conference. “These price gouging restrictions make it illegal for businesses to raise the prices of most goods and services by more than 10%. Those goods and services include — but aren’t limited to — emergency supplies, medicine and medical supplies, food and drink.”
Those who violate the law could face a year in jail and/or an up to $10,000 fine.

use this test?

that scrolly thing on the bottom, forget the name, on Fox, as Trump was touring CDC said that CDC will start sequencing ‘from scratch’

there’s a CV Task Force update ‘soon’ but I’m wondering, why would they resequence the virus? Were our test kits tuned to a different sequence? tighter indicators for the “L” strain? or “S” strain? or are they talking about sequencing the test elements themselves?

just seemed an odd line to throw out there without context

I read an article that had this question in it and it appears that rooms are just vented to the outside, with the belief that UV will instantly kill.

*** So you really DO launder money, don’t you! ***

Lol, that was kinda a joke with myself back then. Now, I just use plastic, but the machines you put your card in are grungy disease vectors. I hate them. I like the ones you just tap your card on.

Some stores here are going to start charging $2 if you pay by check.
