CORONA Thoughts on what fall will bring?

I’m sitting out on my porch right now drinking coffee and watching the hummingbirds around the feeder on this gorgeous sunny morning. In my neck of the woods (SW Missouri), it’s supposed to be 80 degrees today. Cases of COVID-19 have not increased here, and the state is set to open up on Monday.

I think (here at least) summer will be much of a nothingburger. Not much will change, I’ll still be watching the numbers hover around the status quo around the country, other states will begin opening up, and summer will bring a lull... maybe even a sense that the worst is behind us. Economically, things will continue their downward trend with stories of shortages and job losses, but people will still go about their business gardening and camping and enjoying the R&R that summer provides. Maybe even more vitamin D and sunshine will reduce cases and increase positive moods.

Yet I can’t shake the feeling that fall is going to bring a resurgence of everything. I imagine K-12 schools and colleges opening back up in the fall and people will be once again confined indoors, only to bring about round 2 of the virus. Not unlike the flu pandemic of 1918.

While other sheeple are likely going to enjoy their summer and revel in the end of the quarantine, I’m going to be here continuing to stock up, continuing to save money, continuing to prepare with a fervor that feels even more urgent than it did a few months ago. I have a bad feeling, and wish I didn’t.

Is it just me??? What are your thoughts on what autumn will bring?

Like you, I am keeping a wary eye on things. I am hoping for a reasonably normal summer and time to get more prepared if this thing resurges. My trust factor is zero right now as far as the information we are receiving. Fauci, Trump, Birx, everyone seems to be hedging their bets on what they tell us. Essentially what we are hearing is a lot of MAYBEs.
Maybe they really don’t know. Maybe they do know but are lying to us. Maybe we are all just screwed.

No matter what, I intend to enjoy my summer.

It could go either way. What I am sure of is that Trump will continue to push to open the economy and put us back on the path to prosperity.

I am also sure that the media will go after him like never before. I expect he will have more rape accusations than the top 50 College associations.

Beyond that? Who knows.

In Georgia and because we have been "open" for a week and some people have been back to social near normal for a week to 10 days waiting to see what the numbers do. I expect an increase in cases and deaths but not near as high as earlier. I am in a high risk category age and immune system so we will continue to mask and remain antisocial. No restaraunts and limited store stops and wait and see.

Right now there is a lot of confusion being deliberately generated so that people don't know what to think. Passionate feelings and ideas are thrown right and left, commie and nazi, etc. It is very hard to talk or reason with, or even understand someone who is captive of inflamed thoughts and feelings. This makes it hard to see what is actually occurring, and to predict.

I'm having to step back and watch this fray, and stay out of the way of those who are upset and thrashing around.

I agree with your scenarios for summer, and for fall. Garden, preserve, stock up, stay away from the infected. Stay gray. Give this some time to settle. Enjoy the blessings of the summer. However, I have the same sense of bad feeling, although not sure of exact details..

Dr. Fauci says there will be a big resurgence of the virus in the fall and winter. Considering that he has been a main supporter of the Wuhan Lab SARS -type 'gain of function' research on bat coronaviruses, he knows a lot more than he's telling. :(

No.

I am of the opinion that we will collapse in 3-4 years and go mad max. In fact I would suggest we have begun in several aspects.

That wasn't the question from the op. It was what do we expect to happen by November.

Trump is / has been described as pushing prosperity.
Media is / has been described as pushing Trump is the devil.

I don't see that changing.

Do I support Trump? YES! Anything else at this point would speed up the collapse. I need more time to prepare.

Our family is doing the same. We are also adjusting our company finances to weather out a return of the virus this fall. Hope to succeed, but plan for the problems.

Crisp cool days and a good harvest. Hope to get a moose permit. Beyond that who knows. We have some changes we are going to make to our preps and some upgrades. My fear is a Dem victory in Nov and my hope is 4 more years of Trump and a Republican House and Senate. As above I will take all the time I can get. Cant guess on the virus. Hopefully 2nd wave isn't like 1918 but if it is we will hunker down.

I don't believe the WuFlu will be nearly as bad as originally thought it would be.

Economy? I fear this is going to make '08-'09 look like a flesh wound.

This time may be a gift that we are not afforded again. Best to make good use of it.

As long as people don't get personal, I am happy to defend my opinions that I post and the actual opinions that I don't always post. Then again I am a bit old fashioned and have no issue with a going back and forth in disagreement. It doesn't matter if I win or not, I still improve and learn from it.

Too bad too many no longer understand that and always go for that 3 second kill shot and think that is a win. Usually it is an insult.

Don't be too hard on yourself. I'm finding I'm having to do more of the same almost every day. Just staying out of the fray as much as I can, but always watching.

There is no doubt that Corona is bio-engineered.

It will continue to morph, into even more deadly strains,
and just like HIV, a viable vaccine will never be possible.

Should Corona not produce the expected results,
an even more deadly bio-engineered pathogen,
will probably be released.

They want as many of us dead as possible,
and those that remain, they want as slaves.

Dems regain total control in November 2020, over the ZUSA federal government,
and they will start working on their payback, to undue everything,
that has been done to fix, this this now royally screwed up nation.

This is the reason for Corona. Nothing else makes sense. Occam's razor.
Cui bono. To whom is it a benefit. The damocraps, and communist China.

With the damocraps back in total control, communist China can then reopen
their factories, and again start exporting to the world.

A few months left, if that. Nothing but literal HELL, is in the future for the ZUSA.

Please be safe everyone. Enjoy as much of this life as you can.

Regards to all.

I actually agree with the thesis put forth. The only part I disagree with is the conclusion from Occam's Razor. Which says the simplest answer is usually the correct answer. Using that I would argue that this was a bio-engineer virus, but that some idiot did not follow safety rules and it got out by accident.

Was this intended for the USA? YES
Did they plan to use it against the USA? YES
Did they plan for it to be used now? Nope, but since it was out, let's spread it widely and hope we can achieve our goals.

Agree. It was a work in progress. Hadn't gotten to version 1.0.

This is actually what scares me. They will use what they learned from this, (who wouldn't), and better prepare for when they actually release the thing.

Also, when they do release version 1.0, there will be no cure. China will isolate and wait for the rest of the world to fall. They will then eradicate the populations in those areas and move in.

I think we have a serious of tops ahead of us this summer. Most of this nation hasn't been exposed, now parts are opening up and people are acting stupidly.

this winter all bets are off. Economic collapse, global famine, winter plague. CCP virus 2.0. who knows .

we are in a transition period. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Over a month ago, the peak for Texas was estimated to be May 5 or 6. Then somehow they started to move the number around. I still think we have yet to hit our peak. I check our new cases every day and we continue to grow our number. Now we have partially opened back up. I will be watching.
Actually, the judge who is over the county with Big Bend seems to be a cautious fella. I check Big Bend regularly, one because I want to go there and two because when it opens back up, I think it will be because the safety factor is up.

The media will lose their freakin minds, I mean like more than Biden lose their minds. They will see Corona as their last best chance to unseat bad orange man and will spazz out about the second coming of Corona being the end of the world and we must be led by Fascists Progressive like Meatchickens McHitler and every snuffy nose will be Trump fault.

The danger in the fall for US will have nothing to do with Corona but with desperate China feeling a little frisky, and the economic hang-over from an over-extended debt driven economy meeting a full stop pandemic response.

When the tide goes out all kinds if crap gets exposed. We are seeing and smelling all kinds of slimy and icky dead things in all the worlds economy and if you think things are bad here double it for China, only we just don’t have any way of knowing what is going on there.

Thoughts on what fall will bring?

Downward spiral. Unfortunately this right now is as good as it's going to get. What has been set in motion will continue to it's end. A bell that has been rung can not now be unrung. There may, hopefully be a glimmer of optimism as the States reopen and come online again and that optimism will buy us a few weeks or a month or so as things seem to return to being more 'normal' but the damage that has been done is not going to be repaired.

The virus was the catalyst of collapse but not the cause. So I'm planning on using whatever time we may have when things open back up to source and fill holes in my preparedness that I have discovered during the 'test run' as it were. I hope everyone can do the same. Long term I'm optimistic but the next several years are going to bring the kind of pain that was last seen during the great depression except this one is going to be a lot worse as society and people in general are not made of the fabric that the people that endured WWII were.

I agree with you, except for one thing. I'm not optimistic in the long term. Personally, I believe the downward spiral will continue, until we reach The End. We may see some spurts of prosperity along the way, but overall, things will continue to go down hill.

Hard to say what will happen, but with grand solar minima we may be in for a cold winter.
With it being an election year we can look forward to another four years with Trump as our President.

I think it will be hard to discern reality from all the hype.
I'm not sure what the virus will do but I'm betting the people pushing a vaccine will paint a never-been-grimer picture as will the people with TDS as the rats will be in a.corner without a viable candidate and they will be striking out in desperation throwing everything against the.wall to see if anything will stick.

Hopefully people will see the hypocritical disingenuous party that is trying to collapse the country.

I am hoping the.virus was over hyped or that it mutates to a less harmful state.

If it does follow the Spainish flu in being many times worse in the second wave the effects on the country will be horrific.

I agree with the OP: I think the virus will fade away once the days start getting longer and more humid. And then I think it will come roaring back in late October, closing down schools again at the Thanksgiving break. I expect there will be vaccines available by Christmas. How safe they are and whether they will actually work will be open for debate, but I predict some employers will mandate that workers take them in the same way they have managed flu shots.

I, too, will continue to plan ahead and acquire necessary supplies for 2021. I will also look into different ways to make money at home (legit opportunities).
