“Something has got to be really really bad that we dont know about”
This is an example of illogic.
It’s not because it’s bad, it is precautionary and meant to prevent it becoming bad - however subjectively defined bad may be.
In 2009 about 60 million Anericans got H1N1 flu. 265,000 were hospitalized and at least 12,000 died (some analyses say up to 60,000).
And no one saw it as a particularly “bad” time. It just happened. The U.S. enacted a National State of Emergency, as was done Friday. It ran its course with CDC measure put in place. No one remembers it as any sort of world shaking event.
There are, in comparison, ~3600 cases, 63 deaths so far.
Why was 2009 not filled with hysteria and panic buying?
“however subjectively defined bad may be.”
This is my point. Whatever their definition..its very bad.
Based on what?
I dont know
US intelligence should know by now if this is an escaped bioweapon, an intentional bioweapon, or something that is a freak of nature.
I truly believe they think it will be bad and they are trying to load manage it so as not to overwhelm the system.
Tell me the last time Vegas shut down for two weeks...crickets...surely there is a time but I am not a historian of Vegas
Why was 2009 not filled with hysteria and panic buying?
There was no Republican in the White House and Fake News/social media was not hysterically spreading fear.
