that's becasue we didn't KILL the globalist scum when they started exporting our industry to BFE . . . the tragedy is that there actually are some dumb asses who believe GLOBALISM is your friend

That's because if we had tried, the sheep and their sharp teeth and hooves would have torn us to pieces in the attempt. And the media, and all the useful idiots, and all those who can't tell the difference in an ally and an enemy. Now, it is kicked upstairs and God will deal with it, factoring in our refusal to do so.

Every country is setting up how it will be handled next year if it comes back. if it is stronger next year after doing all this people will expect the same shutdowns and bailouts. if not we have alot of angry people, if so we eventually go bankrupt due to seasonal illness. so has the shtf? not yet, but maybe

That is an excellent point and one I hope the smart people behind these bailouts factored in.

I don't know if this is THE fan event, but I'm becoming more convinced each day that this is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. So, I guess it depends on how big an event needs to be before it can be put into that category. I'd say, on a scale of 1-10, with 9/11 measuring a 7, that this could easily reach that level or higher. Again, my thoughts about it change each day. Three days ago I'd have rated it a 5.

Well, basketball season is canceled, and baseball season might be canceled. If so, there will be a number of sports fanatics chewing the carpet.
Not giving you a hard time, but them doing that has a lot of knock on effects.

I admit I don't have much sympathy for the players and teams, but there could be several hundred people per stadium who will be effected. People who sweep up/clean up after a game. Vendors who aren't seen in the food courts etc. Hotels and eateries around the venue. Etc. those are the folks who need our prayers. Millionaire basketball players, not so much.

Did you ever wonder why more Jewish people didn't leave Germany back in the 1930s?

Coalcracker,

I used to work for this officer - Special Forces Legend Maj. Gen. Sidney Shachnow Dies at 83

His family tried to get out, but did not succeed. They converted all the family's wealth to cut precious stones before they left and hid them in a cloth bag tucked up little Sidney's butt. The story is in his biography ...

Just checking in real quick. Many of you know I work in the Hotel Industry. LOTS of cancellations related the KungFlu situation. These are folks that mostly travel from the Eastern part of the U.S. but we honestly get people from all over the country/world. Dollywood opening this weekend. I expect a confirmed case in my A.O. any day now.

howdy neighbor -
thanks for the informative and very interesting yip - please do keep us posted

To be fair, if we would have been "torn to pieces" in the attempt, we didn't really REFUSE. We exercised prudence in avoiding certain failure.

Covid-19 deaths in the US as of 3/12/2020 stand at 39, 26 of which is from a nursing home Washington state. Get a grip folks. (20,000 to 80,000 people die each year here from flu virus) This is a media driven panic to hurt Trump. How come they aren't reporting this death toll daily here? How come they don't report the number of people who have survived covid-19? These 'ruling class' pukes will stop at nothing to hurt Trump, including crashing the economy. Thank 'em for what they've done for your 401K.

Remind me again of how many countries they shut down because of the flu. Also do you believe the numbers out of China? Most believe they are highly bogus and based on the behavior of many nations they seem to think they are BS as well. Even the doctors are saying that Corona is at least 10x more deadly than the flu.

Time to actually think and quit repeating the line about the flu is worse.

The only thing you need to panic about is what the 'ruling class' is willing to do to you to hurt Trump. Covid-19? RELAX.


I am relaxed. I got 90% out of the market when it was at its highest because I was paying attention. I can now start buying back in over the next few days and weeks as it continues to fall.

Seriously I'm as good as can be under the circumstances and watching this from my little farm where I am all stocked up. No panic here.

Are you sure this is all about hurting Trump? If this is the case it sure seems like there is a lot of behind the scene coordinating with China, Italy, Iran and the rest of them..... I guess the democrats are more powerful than I thought :)

The virus is real. The information being disseminated by the MSM is designed to hurt Trump. Further, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to discover that the dems are coordinating with China, Iran and other countries that hate us. Remember all the trips dems have taken to those countries to meet with their leaders in the past 18 months.

Also worth noting is the fact that you hear NO NUMBERS FOR RECOVERIES. For that matter, you hear no numbers at all except for deaths. Why do you suppose that is...?

At this point it does not matter if this new virus kills even one more person. The economy is toast.

This is a media driven panic to hurt Trump.

Then you would also have to believe that the NBA, NHL and all these businesses and schools that are closing down are doing so and in the process losing billions of dollars and they are just buying into this media panic? What about what is going on in Italy and other countries where their medical systems are being swamped and they are turning away people to die because they can't treat them? Is that part of the media driven panic too?

As much as the media and so many others hate Trump they love their money even more. On the main Corona thread there are many videos and letters from actual doctors and nurses trying to attend to these patients but are swamped and people are dropping. If the facts are alarming the problem isn't with the facts. If in a few weeks this all dies out well and good and I'll admit that I personally overreacted. I am prepared to be wrong. Question is, are you?

I believe the saying is "If it bleeds it leads". Granted the deaths aren't as graphic as Ebola but most people hear dead and listen a bit more just in case it affects them.

As to multiple countries putting together this economy killing behavior just to get Trump, well I guess we all have different imaginations, but there are easier ways to get rid of him including the up coming election, so that is one conspiracy theory that I wouldn't give any credence to.

They are reporting deaths.... You just probably don't want to see the ratio of deaths or recovery.

I keep asking myself what am I missing? It all just doesn't make sense. Could there actually be more to it?? But regardless of the reason.... we are going towards something I can't even imagine.

Oh, but that’s what I DO want to see. You need to re-read my post. I said that DEATHS ARE THE ONLY NUMBERS BEING REPORTED. NO NUMBERS FOR RECOVERIES. Did you not understand what I wrote? Because I thought I was clear.

Oh BS. People are reacting EMOTIONALLY rather than PRAGMATICALLY, which is exactly what the Deep State wants, because it hurts the country, the economy, and most of all Bad Orange Man.
I agree with Dennis 100%! This is falling right into what the liberal dems want. They can't defeat Trump any other way and quite frankly I'm surprised at some on this board running around with their hair on fire. I'm just not that concerned yet and may never be. There's a lot of panic going on and I believe the majority of it is uncalled for.
Whatever happens is in the Lords hands.

39 or 40 dead: that's about the body count for a weekend in Chicago...

Just like the daily Iraq body count and before that the Vietnam daily body count.
Now we have the China Flu daily body count.

There are statistics, for what they're worth, for recoveries out there. This website says that 62826 out of 80796 cases in China have recovered. Whether or not those are believable, well, that's another story.

Also, 325 out of 696 on the Diamond Princess cruise ship have recovered, with currently 364 "active" cases.

It doesn't really matter though. The only thing that matters is how people react.

If you refuse to see what is happening that's your problem.

Didn't happen under Obama 2012-13. 56,000 dead from swine flu epidemic. No borders closed. No quarantines. Hospitals overwhelmed. However, according to his media he was God sent, a man for this time, so intelligent, so brave, and had a sharp crease in his pants.

While I have some concerns regarding the corona virus, it is primarily the lack of good information.

I have health issues that put me in the vulnerable percentages, but I am curious about the actual immune health of the "vulnerable" people. I know many people with diabetes, for example, who refuse to make any changes to their lifestyle that could help their health. I believe that many people who choose to boost their immune system will fare better than those who refuse.

We appear to be at the beginning of a Grand Solar Minimum, which in the past, included food shortages, and epidemics. If that is the case, next year may be even more difficult if food shortages occur, and the number of underfed increase.

Those who look ahead, and prepare for shortages by gardening and preserving are also more likely do well with the possible illnesses.

I am not panicking... LoL

I am sitting on my golf cart in the sunshine throwing the ball for the pups..

As I've said from the beginning, yes, the virus worries me, I have health issues and so does many of the people that I care about. But panic? Nope. What's the point of that? I am in the best possible position I can be in every way. Nothing more I can do.

But what I have really worried about from the beginning is the economic implications! When China shut down... even if the virus never made it over here at all, there were going to be huge ripples. You can say meh all you want, hope you've got some really super duper hefty assets to carry you through because things will probably change for you, and everyone else. If you can't see what is happening, time to open your eyes. If you don't want to see, can't see for you.
