You ready/up for this?

Remember... After the SHTF / Flupocalypse / zombie locust plague also courtesy of 'Wuhan Biotechnology', there will only be one rule out there: "GAS, GRASS, OR ASS. NOBODY RIDES FOR FREE". And it will be enforced at gunpoint.
That was a 1974 saying used by many during the so called gas shortage.

Which begs the question, why is China is going to such great lengths to quarantine it?


What @W54/XM-388 said.

Or...

They KNOW exactly what had escaped, or been released. Even the most experienced gun handlers have negligent discharges sometimes. And someone who has access to these materials may possess enough internal hatred towards their superior leaders to have a not-so-negligent discharge of a canister of biological napalm meant for someone else...
 
The OP article makes the claim that the CDC operates "under the authority of the World Health Organization." To the best of my knowledge, this is a complete lie. I could be wrong, but I've NEVER heard of this, and can't see how it could be possible. I was taught that it operates under the authority of HHS.

If an article tells a flat-out lie as part of the story, everything else in it is worthless.

Delete this stupid thread...why perpetuate proven bullshit?
 
If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
Here in is the problem, many of us have been telling john Q for years upon years to think/do for their self. Don't go in debt, don't be like the jones, don't wind up a one trick pony. No one wanted to hear that as most voters voted their wallets, an inked shit they could never afford in the first place, but they believe the bankers an hucksters. Now the bill is coming due an with so many loving fake news in all venues, because they can't separate fact from fiction, why not help them out ? Fake info abounds here, one of the reasons Frank an others gets so frustrated at times. Just a sign of the times, when you can not make them think for their self's, just speed up the time for the cattle car,...

I think people are making way too big a deal of the Coronavirus.........yes it needs to be dealt with, but the CDC estimates between 291,000-646,000 people die of the flu world wide each year..........quite a few more than the current total of the Corona virus......


I don't know...

Million here, a million there; pretty soon we're talking real numbers...

1,000,000 / 7,000,000,000 works out to less than .001%.

But it's enough, already, to quarantine millions, cause worldwide panic, and be used as an excuse to impose totalitarian rule, no votes involved, on the home of the free.

Causes/probabilities of death.

Well over ten times more die from intentional self harm than flu.

Buy more ammo, the excuses are getting thinner and thinner, and the Media is hawking the malarkey like they're betting there's no tomorrow...

Funny thing; where would the "Free Press" be in a totalitarian regime?

Well even the Spanish FLU of 1918 started somewhere.

Estimated deaths between 20million to 50million including an estimated 675,000 here in the US.

Not saying corona will reach this level, but such pandemics arent unheard of and are a matter of when not if.
 
Back in 1918, there was no CDC, there were no antibiotics (yes, I know, viruses don't respond to antibiotics; but a significant portion of Viral related deaths occur due to bacterial infections brought on when the virus puts the immune system on its knees).

What actually does cause death? Very often it's not what brought you into the hospital in the first place...

The true culprits are travel that can put anyone on any part of the globe in days, reactive vs proactive public health systems, and the nature of a virus itself.

Mutation is its middle name. Successfully countering a virus simply stimulates it to mutate again in the very process of surviving; and viral countermeasures are getting harder to find. What doesn't kill it, it survives, and it's immune to what went before as well.

That works both ways.

In the end, the human immune system is the only weapon that has always worked; too often at monumental cost, too often paid in lives. Who doesn't go down, reproduces, and the kids prosper. That's life, always has been.

Research has actually determined that fewer than half the cells in the human body are actually human in origin. The rest are symbiotes, and many others are successful viral and bacterial infections. The only truly successful pathogen is the one that permits its host to thrive and reproduce. That includes every one that the host's bloodline has survived.

If this thing gets its teeth well and truly into the US, I'm at least moderately likely to be a victim myself, with significantly impaired cardiopulmonary health. At 73, it's my time, or thereabouts, anyway.

The last time I was convinced (1996, second occurrence with Lymphoma), I fought like the dickens, mainly just to see what happened next (for example, our Daughter's wedding; after that, three Grandkids, two of whom will be over 21 next Monday).

It was worth the scrap. There was a 'fatal' heart attack 7 years later.

Fight again. After all that, fight is what I do. Can't help it; so far I'm a successful organism...

All news is full of lies.

A news story about the industry I am in which was affected by trumps tariffs was a complete lie. The entire premise of the story front to back. All to try and make trump look bad.

You can’t trust any of these news sources

Wasn’t Obama paying the media to run or bury certain stories ?

I might also add that despite the amount of medical knowledge and science out there, very few folks will be willing to make some lifestyle changes or be a bit considerate to others.

Things like:

Keep your sick kids home!!!!
Stay home when you are sick
Don't let people into the country without a full health screening.
Wear a mask if you are sick and must go out
Clean the loving stuffing out of your hands and everything else that can be touched.

But the schools are the biggest culprits.

Keep sick kids home
Shut down the schools when there is an active outbreak of sickness.

I went to the doctor's office today and they actually told me that without me having to offer it.

They said the virus thing I caught that does this upper respiratory infection stuff (which I got from a coworker who didn't want to stay home, because they are saving their 2 weeks of yearly sick time to add to their 2 weeks of vacation time), is something that has been going around the schools in the local area and then spreading out from there, so lucky me, I get to see how my immune system works.
 
Go ahead and joke...

EMP Testing.

With the creation of non-nuclear direct energy weapons, and the existing use of the devices on the battle field, as well as civilian non-combat environments, the need to protect electronic equipment is at an all-time high. The U.S. Military has been evaluating the effects of electromagnetic pulses on equipment for the past 50 years, and have developed protective design guidelines and hardening techniques currently used today.


NIMBUS, anyone?

Before I retired in 09 I was invited to a DEW demo in Fla on a 3516 series cat genset to insure it was to Factory spec an nothing had been added. I was one of 5 different EPG techs doing the inspection. Each was ask to write down a component of choice to be targeted an they were all submitted. Not a single sub system or other component was touched other than what was submitted. When we ask max distance they just smiled but never uttered a word. That was 11 years ago, now,...

I hear what you're saying, and I too have been saying it (locally) for years.

If you OR your kids are sick, STAY THE HELL HOME.

Do NOT come over to my house. I don't want the disease, I don't want the infestation, and I sure as hell don't want to be a 'Typhoid Mary' so stay away.

There are a few people I know whom have no problem continuing on with their daily lives, sneezing, sniffling, and snotting along. I have kept my space from them, and publicly stated that I don't want them around me when they are diseased. They shrug and leave.

It drives me absolutely INSANE how they think that it was 'ok' to approach me to begin with, let alone continue to be 'out in public'. I just don't get it.

One of them (one of the worst) works in the pharmaceutical manufacturing business. Is he a 'petri dish' or a 'make-work project'?

I just don't know. That mentality drives me nuts. Same goes for the general apathy of 'people', but that's another story.

Parents are left with little choice these days...sadly. They cant miss work and not everyone has grandma/grandpa down the street to watch the kids while they are sick.

And while I understand the counter arguments, like priorities etc, I am merely looking at the current reality.

School is just the "babysitter" for many of todays parents...to drop them off indifferent to what they are/not being taught and then picked up out of necessity...
 
Kids’ school has a policy this term that with a min gpa of x and fewer than y absences, they don’t have to sit final exams. Kids reporting sick kids everywhere because they won’t stay home in order to serve the exams.
My youngest tested positive for flu this week. Guess he’ll be sitting the exams as there’s no way I’d send him to class.
