We may rip into each other senselessly here at FR but you can’t say we don’t come up with clever names for each.

Kind of funny. I do think we are at the top, statistically. When the smoke clears the number probably will be “about like the flu”.

I had a friend who invited me for Passover. He told stories about his Uncles at Passover. Pretty funny but it must have been scary to watch as a kid.

Can’t wait for the HCQ protocol to be a done thing.

We have better things to do...

However until the supply chains from China are up and running, it won’t matter if this or that area is under shutdown WRT manufacturing for the most part.

And any whose job depends on that either. The line worker, the shop manager, the diner across the street from the plant and all the downstream jobs from those.

We have GOT to return manufacturing here. Even IF we completely automate the stuff being done in China right now. Our own manufacturing wont’ be dependent on ‘china is asshoe’.

And we need meds production yesterday.

In the end I suspect about 30% will get it and almost all of them will hardly be bothered. It is very contagious but it just ain’t that lethal.

Folks who get it will be fine—while they are lined up outside hospitals waiting for a doctor or nurse to get to them—in a hour or two or three or four...

Most of them will survive it—like Vietnam Vets with PTSD—nothing to see here...

“22,057.91
+857.36 4.04%”

This is either because of the 2 Trillion dollar bailout or because the traders think the pandemic is all a hoax to cover up the mind controlling roll out of 5G.

I’m not sure which, yet, still researching.

The bailout will happen—and the market will be happy for a little while.

Then..watch out below....

I have a friend on FB who said their gramma was sick yesterday, they called 911.

Paramedics said may or may not be Covid-19, but do not go to ER, wait is over 5 hours there. This is in Dallas, TX.

In the end I suspect meds will be discovered to not really be a part of it. 99.3% will recover. Remember the “roller coaster”? Well the “Recovered” are in the last car. We won’t get hard numbers until a month from now because it may take that long for a lot of people to recover. In a month if 30% of people have had it and recovered there will be fewer targets for new hosts. So even if the environment is “contaminated” it will be progressively less so as the days go by and a little more forgiving of “mistakes”. The new infected should be in serious free fall right now. We can’t know that because all the testing in the world couldn’t be done if we had infinite tests. We don’t have the logistical capability to do 100 million tests in days. Maybe we should develop that. It’s debatable that it is a National Priority.

No, we do not. Way too peopley outside.

"With capacity stretched thin, U.S. hospitals are rushing to find beds for a coming flood of patients, opening older closed hospitals, turning single rooms into doubles and re-purposing other medical buildings."

Virus briefing: U.S. deaths top 1,000 while aid plan advances. Here are this morning's updates. (3/26/20)

PING!

I think the combination of NOT shutting down the MTA subway system earlier and allowing the Chinese New Year celebrations in Manhattan and Queens may have really contributed to the spike in COVID-19 cases in New York City.

Like I have been saying, it took 40 years to realize the Spanish Flu was responsible for the Parkinson’s epidemic in the 60s. It will take decades to know that.

deep state goals:

way fewer people
total control of remaining people.

how does the virus/reaction fit into those goals?

(my personal suspicion is that we’ll see accounts of crashing sperm counts a few years from now...everyone will blame climate change...)

99.3% survival after an epidemic like this is pretty dang good.
