Ping for new Day 17 thread...

If our government is not totally stupid, this should cause action on getting medications manufactured in the USA. Since our government is stupid, it may not change. 🙄

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

A retired Army friend sent me the following today, along with the front of the book and the page with this paragraph circled in red. MOST interesting:

By Dean Koontz. A book entitled “The eyes of darkness.” Published in 1981. On page 312 it says:

“In around 2020, a severe pneumonia like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments. Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived, attacking again ten years later, then disappear altogether.”

I believe I had it. As does the wife as she also had it.
Flew from Mesa AZ to Appelton Wi the 4th of Jan and came back the 8th. Lady next to me was sick and sure as hell I got it.

Got all the symptoms they list of this thing. I have COPD. THIS IS A DAM PANIC caused by the media and hysterians.

Here is how we managed it.

Drank massive amounts of water and juice, green tea. Ate tomato soup, and soda crackers. Got in front of the heater and breathed in all that nice hot air. Covered up with a heavy blanket and watched a ton of docu’s on my smart TV. Got into the hot tub after I turned the thing up to 95 degrees, a few times.

After that day the fever broke, got outside and did a ton of yard work. Took several hikes around here. The third day I went back to work-I work part time in the woods up round -———— —. Set up work sites for the logging crew which a man has to walk a lot-all day.

That was it. The dry cough was aggravating as hell, like all those. Then it started to break and I thought no more of it.

My wife? She got it and it laid her low though. But she is so dam pigheaded she wouldnt do the same as I did. We are good to go now.

Within 4-6 weeks there will be a major revolt against the regimen being slipped into place. We will be in a total shutdown within 10 days, maybe sooner.

And after a 2-3 weeks of that people will have had it. What scares humans now just annoys them later.

[kaehurowing]

My main concern is what is to be done with traitors like Maddow and MSNBC that are spreading all sorts of fake news and lies about what is going on to panic people more and to weaken the government. Shouldn’t they be arrested?
