Coronavirus

Looking forward, this virus could have quite an effect on public life and the economy, if people choose to stay away from sporting events, restaurants, even political rallies. Recession in 2020 seems like a good bet.

On the other hand with China being hit worse this could be an opportunity for America to produce goods here again. I am more optimistic for America and our ability to cope then say China.

Well damn, look at the Dow this morning.

The 'Spanish Flu Epidemic' in 1918. Killed hundreds of thousands and sickened millions. Temporary emergency facilities were set up nation wide, even in our small community of 20,000. Just God's way of thinning the herd. Over populated countries like China and India will suffer badly!

Worldwide 500,000,000 people caught the H1N1 virus during the "Spanish Flu" epidemic and 50,000,000 died. At least 675,000 people died in the United States before it ran its course. That would mean between 6 & 7 million people got real sick here in the good old U.S.A. It was a plague of truly Biblical proportions. Modern medicine would have saved a bunch of those people but the death toll would still have been in the millions.

This could be really bad mojo, not as bad as the Spanish Flu but bad enough. Since stuff like this is hardest on old folks or kids if you're a "geezer" and there are a bunch of us here, it's something to prepare for.

Wash your hands frequently, keep your hands away from your face, and if you haven't stocked up on food enough to "hunker down" for a couple of months it would be a good idea. If you're a hurricane prepper like me you probably have that part covered.

Just watched a special from Australian TV and saw what I was ignorant of regarding the virus. If more Americans saw the reality I shudder as to what people would want/demand of government to protect us. If 1% of Americans died from this virus, what then?

China has also said it originated with a rare ant eater. I suspect, with no proof of any kind, that critter escaped from a Chinese Biological Warfare lab. I wouldn't worry about it. Even Doctor Oz says wash your hands often and you'll be fine.

Chinese live animal markets, which sell exotic animals for food have always been a potential problem. Apparently these scaly anteaters (pangolin) are a delicacy there. I understand there is a strong hypothesis that the AIDS virus originated in monkeys in Africa and originally spread to humans through people eating the monkeys.

Some things to consider to pick up is several bottles of quality whiskey for pain and sterilization. A quantity of local raw honey for food and infection control. A wound that has honey applied to it is a good barrier to infection. The book THE ULTIMATE SURVIVAL MEDICINE GUIDE by Dr. Joseph Alton and his wife Amy ARNP. Last but not least put together a home crash kit that is easy to transport and water resistant.

The Cornavirus is no more than another attempt to overthrow Trump by upsetting the worlds economy and blaming him for the collapse. The average death rate for this years flu is 2% the COVID-19 rate is 3%. Bad but not DJT's fault. The price of gold is way up. Stocks are way down, and it is all about politics. togor and cohorts are rooting for a depression. They want people to die and the world economy to collapse. Then, they think they will rebuild a utopian society, much like Argentina, Venezuela, Cuba and the other successful Socialist nations that have embraced the National Socialist Workers Party.

You a glass half-empty guy there Red? I'd think you'd be looking at the coming challenge as a golden opportunity for the Big Fella to display that superb management acumen we hear so much about. Rudy's reputation skyrocketed after 9/11 because he gave NYC exactly what it needed from a mayor. You thinking we got us a fair- weather POTUS?

Shows original Red is. His is a direct comment by Limbaugh (mountain out of a mole hill to cast aspersions on Trump). How about Tony Fauci from NIH speaking instead of Mnuchin or Kelly Ann or some other flak.
