    Chop,
    Appreciate the read. The older I get, the more plausible the "crazy" theories seem more like reality.

    You mentioned the retirements (401k for me) and yes, it has tanked. But I'm one of the sheep that follows the financial experts and think long-term and let the money ride in stocks. Now I am seeing that is more like others predicted (and you hint at) that it lets them use my money to make their money. What this dip also does is keep me working that much longer. I had plans on getting out by 60 but I don't see the man letting me do that. Gotta keep the sheep working.

    The only thing I would add to your insight is.........there's a vaccine sitting in a drawer somewhere.
    Those that sell the panic.....sell the pill.

    If I remember correctly it's a dry cough, and head congestion is not a symptom of COVID-19.

Italy is destitute and was having internal EU doubts, etc

    I agree that this was done on purpose

    It's brilliant, honestly. They are bringing us all under complete economic and free travel/free commerce control and they never had to arrest the first person or fire a single shot. Globalism is victorious and if you disagree, we'll wreck your economy and bring you in line with the rest of the terrified and dependent masses.

    All the first "lockdown" responses from government's seem to be coincidentally largely Democrat controlled..... All the big Democrat donors like Disney jumped on board. The NFL, NCAA, and NBA are merely modern day sports plantations full of black athletes that they use without apology to make money, so they do their best to fall in line with current progressive political narratives. I'm not surprised how they "fell in line" either. I'm sure there are backroom deals to ensure "profits are sustained" much like they did for the insurance companies within the ACA. Democrat's never hurt their own big business.

    Same with closing mom and pop restaurants and bars who don't do carryout or drive thru...... Continentally, a large majority of the major chain restaurants in America have some form of carryout or a drive thru window.... They will survive just fine, their independent competition is doomed, I think.

    If anyone with a biomedical degree or a brain thinks that food served thru a window or a carryout situation is much less likely to be contaminated by Covid19, you are fooling yourself and others. Unlike what medical professionals tend to do, Wendy's employees are not washing hands or changing gloves between each customer that they serve. So basically, their attempts at virus control are haphazard and dangerous. They touch every dollar bill and every debit or credit card with the same food service gloves as the previous customers. How could they be so careless? Because I think this is all fake panic staged to wreck a market, fuel votes for more legislation to curb personal freedom, expand the power of the federal government (which is the mantra of Democrat party platform).

    I hope I'm totally wrong

    Don't you why Walmart isn't shut down? I think it's because they don't have a drive thru window to help them stay in business. Walmart sees far more foot traffic than an Arby's franchise store and they handle more infected money in one hour than Arby's will all day. Walmart gets to escape the "decrees" because if they lose money, China loses customers for their cheap junk products and the Democratic party donor Walmart doesn't suffer the ill effects of this manufactured crisis.

    This is why you see half-hearted "closures"

    UAW (United Democrat Superpac of America) urges the big three automakers to close down plants

    Left bias news like Yahoo celebrating the market crash in op-ed articles by saying "Nobody ever gets reelected during a recession. Trump is finished".... That's supposed to be something to cheer about? People are sick and dying and that's a good thing for Democrats? Holy Cow, those people suck.

    Teachers Union (another extension of the DNC) supports school closures "for the safety of the children" (an old tired tactic frequently used by the Union to guilt people into going along with whatever the bullies want). I want my kids safe no matter what so I won't complain about this stance, I'm just suspicious of the agenda behind it.

    Tech companies and social media giants, mostly DNC donors, quickly moving to have employees "work from home" to feed the panic?? Hmmmmmm. (That's me just speculating again, I could be dead wrong)

    Cities and States who were broke or on the verge of being broke were the first to declare "emergencies". They quickly reserved their spots in the Federal Emergency Funding line. Everything is a slush fund. Our own newly minted left wing nutjob governor declared an emergency when less than 20 ppl were infected here and not one death had yet occurred. He's also been leading the charge nationally.... Because ultimately, it's all about that future run for the white house for these guys, especially governor's, if you know what I mean.

    Follow the donations trail and the fear-porn purveyors in the media and the two lines converge pretty quickly

    The DNC/Pelosi Inc showed how much they really don't care about Covid 19 by attempting to slip in a huge Fetacide funding package in an emergency health bill.

    Fox news (owned by Progressives) did their best to fire up the right wingers with such tactics as articles that implied that China was trying to cut off our pharmaceutical supply to render us helpless because Trade War or whatever reason. It was all speculation and innuendo based on the cryptic comments of one single individual...... Fuel the panic, get the clicks. You can't just have one side of the coin acting unreasonably, they are equal opportunity propaganda artists.

    Some of the biggest players helping spread panic and wreck the economy get salaries. Paid if you're present, paid off you're not present. How coincidental? Why would they care if Joe Factory Worker loses his house or Bob the Burger flipper loses his car he just purchased with his tax check down payment? All the more reason for a "guaranteed income"

    Invent problem: Already have solutions

    What?!?.... A virus gets transmitted by using paper cash? Oh, well then ban cash and go to totally digital and totally tracked debit cards.

    Benefits of Global coronavirus Panic
    1) go totally cashless society by making people fearful of using, accepting, or hording untraceable cash

    2) helps quickly eliminate small business competition for corporations using "social distancing" and "unnecessary travel" as an excuse

    3) stops internal protests and riots without using any force outside of propaganda

    4) best way to keep citizenry from trusting each other or congregating in large numbers is a legitimate but overblown virus scare

    5) develops reliance on government agencies for economic and personal security after market collapse which is always followed by a long recession.... Requiring constant "stimulus"... Actually show people what a worst case scenario regarding human behavior looks like to fuel the fear and increase the calls for federal intervention

    6) resets the financial market using a fear narrative. Consequently, elite players and trading desks sell early and high, buy back low and take in even more money as the market rises until the next crash (roughly every ten years now, it seems)

    7) establish eugenics policies to "dole out healthcare" to government approved and useful citizens

    8) control interstate commerce....(btw, think about Amazon's sweetheart deal for the USPS to deliver their stuff NOW. Looks like their product delivery will get first billing over ALL of their competitors even moreso now)

    9) Control education and force parents to do the brunt of the teaching and student hosting (around here. The kids have to still attend online at the same school hours so parents are now the teachers.....for free with none of the benefit or compensation given teachers). Effective way to remove half or more of the population from the workforce to educate their own kids and then be reliant on government stimulus themselves for the lost income

    10) start food shortages..... No brainer... For control and/or population reduction (historically, Socialists seem to embrace famines and "coincidentally" are also terrible at handling them)

    11) people who are terrified of unseen biological things are much easier to placate and control, overall. I remember when AIDS "came out".... You should've seen the freaking out going on.

    12) nobody argues with the "logic" of the "experts"... Who wants to be a"denier"?.... You've already got the instant support of most of the population thru propaganda. I'm a logical guy too, so the idea of quarantines do bear ultimate merit for me. It's proven effective in every case.

    13) .......I know there's got to be more individual benefits for the global puppeteers for this "crisis" I'm not thinking of... I'm not the brightest guy. I just think out loud alot.... You guys add to this list, please. I'm sure there's more

    It's almost the perfect plan for seizing control with the least resistance

    I'm not saying for certain there's a conspiracy.... But if there was, hypothetically, this one would be the most epic conspiracy ever conceived of and it's almost word-for-word what was foretold by a certain crowd to me and others as far back as the early 80s. Nam vets were the truthers back in those days. My dad was one and he and his nam buddy made sure I got an earful growing up.

    I hope nobody else gets sick and I hope you feel better soon, Bill.

    I won't deny it's a real virus and that it kills real people but I maintain that it's less deadly so far, than what we're used to in the recent past. I think this 24/7 media panic has really convenient timing but then you factor in who all "led the charge" and that they are in effect, financially DOOMING several million people living paycheck to paycheck already. People from all economic classes are their retirement funds ed.... no $1000 check can fix this. The whole thing is being perpetuated on us by people much more powerful than us and they don't care how they are destroying our personal lives. It's all just a game of numbers to them.

    Wonder when the FEMA steps in. I heard they got camps where they help people.

    If I were a fascist dictator on the rise, this whole thing is exactly what I'd do to cement absolute power. Just saying.

    Here's a screenshot of the latest reported numbers of infected and dead.... It's kind of a slow mover, for a virus....when you compare this number to the one I quoted above several days ago

    Not sure how that can be right since it ultimately leads to pneumonia when your lungs fill up with flui and phlegm, but ?? Mine started as very little cough, and what was, was dry, until about 2 days ago, and now I'm getting crap up. It seems to really sneak down in my lungs at night. I've about killed my throat from forcefully coughing it back up to get it out, but usually after I've been up an hour or so I can get it all coughed up and out.

    Maybe it starts as a dry cough and transitions into mucus crap later on.

    Wow. I'm about as much as the conspiratorial type as anyone and even I never considered the fact that these are all DNA samples also!!

    Holy smokes...

    I read this on another forum;

    A fishing tournament I entered for Saturday was cancelled. Seriously? We're outside, on the lake, and there is already a rule against fishing within 25 yards of another boat. And...we don't have spectators.

    Some of this has to be "it would be callous to be out having fun while people are suffering."



    I suppose people would frown on someone hopping on your 3-wheeler and going for a ride too. They think you are either spreading germs everywhere while you ride through the woods......or you can't be having a little fun right now.

    That was my interpretation of the symptoms, starts as a dry cough. Sorry I wasn't a bit clearer. Although it doesn't say "dry cough" in the CDC description of the symptoms now

    I just watched a video were a doctor claims that this virus is so easily infectious that it can survive up to 3 hours floating in the air , so being vigilant of the keeping your distance rule seems like a good idea but if it’s just floating around then ?

    My wife said she watched a video where the doctor says that it is a, and I quote “heavy virus” meaning that it falls to the ground just a few feet away from whoever might expel it from their lungs while coughing.

    Spoke with my brother a couple days ago. He’s a doctor and he feels that it’s only a matter of time before everybody on the planet is exposed to this thing, it’s just that if it happens too quickly every heath system in the world is going to be crushed versus if we can just slowly pass it on to each other over an extended period there’s a chance that the health systems can keep up and eventually a vaccine will be developed.

    I’m still hoping that warm weather is the answer because it’s been hot as hell down here lately but the same can be said about Laredo Texas and they already have a few cases including the school teacher of my friends daughter who tested positive early this week. As I was hanging out with him Wednesday Thursday and Friday of last week I guess there is a possibility that I’ve bet exposed is his daughter was. I do feel like , but that’s how I feel most of the time so I’m not too worried.

    On the plus side of things there’s almost no traffic here and we still have toilet paper. There’s no hand cleaner or Lysol, but we still have hand soap.

    Hopefully this is all overblown, but just in case I’m cutting back on eye rubbing and gold digging.
