President Trump was asked about a lockdown today, IIRC. We are less than two weeks behind the stage of the disease Italy is in, according to many. And finally, portions of discussions this administration make take, in combating the spread of the Corona virus in the US, have been classified.

Which leads me to believe that some of what the author describes above could be imminent. This isn't fear mongering - it's a logical conclusion.

If a lockdown of the entire country for a month (WAG), was announced tomorrow, beginning this Monday, would you be prepared?

Heck, while we are at it, why not suspend congress and adjourn it till after the next election.

He can do that you know.

This has gone way beyond the realm of reality.

Ah, he’s probably in his combat outfit with paint under his eyes and his gun pointing straight ahead waiting for zombies to come and take his canned beans.

Don’t ruin it for him :)

In unofficial terms, this is sh#t getting real.

Things are going to get worse – possibly much worse –

Yes.

There will definitely be more than 40 people die.

And perhaps the vast majority won’t be ancient invalids in the same nursing home community.

When did politics remain within the realm of reality?! :)

Jesus man! I mean WTF?

They’ll all be in line, fighting over asswhipe before to long.

Being told to stay at home and then running down to the Walmart and grabbing all the asswhipe they can get?

They pulled the tread I put up about the Sauna. Yet they use thermal treatment for cancer AND some viruses.

Its got that crazy that they cant take a slightly humorous thread about something.

I have yet to have anyone tell me if there is anything better than old home remedies after a person gets sick.

BTW, I am thinking I had this. I flew Jan 4th and returned back the 8th-from Mesa AZ to Appleton WI. I had the exact same symptoms they describe. Headaches, joints, fever, dry cough, and the whole thing. There were a few on that plane that were hacking and all that...especially the lady next to me.

Yet here I am. How would I know if I had it? The GD tests are faulty. Yet I had a yearly blood test yesterday and its normal. White cell count and the whole deal.

I really believe this is a purely political ploy to damage Trump. You’ll note that the opposition is really trying to make points on this.

The plan is to extend the time frame over which people are getting infected — in order to avoid overwhelming the ERs and ICUs.

That doesn’t require tanking the entire economy — which what you are proposing would accomplish.

Read your thread. I completely agree a sauna, or a long hot shower - my preference - helps to get over a cold or flu.

I’m not sure I like this. It is using whole numbers of people and not percent of the population. You need the percentage to understand how far the virus has to go. It will reach a certain percent before it tails off.

If you do what Japan is doing, which is all it can. You end up with a population that can’t inoculate itself. So, while its slope is low, it will keep going until it reaches a similar percent of the population. Germany and Italy will get a large percentage very fast. And while that may overwhelm the health system, it will also inoculate the population. Japan is saving the health system, not the population. There will be some beneficial affects of the Japanese way. Obviously the slower the rate of cases, means you will likely have the ventilators to treat more truly sick people. But it also means the economic price will be catastrophic. Japan will need to clamp down longer than Germany will. So, Japan’s economy will be stopped longer, causing a larger economic depression.

I didn't say that.

I said, "...leads me to believe that some of what the author describes above could be imminent."

And

"If a lockdown of the entire country for a month (WAG), was announced tomorrow, beginning this Monday, would you be prepared? "

There was an article years ago I read in my pulmonary specialists office where the Israelis did a study on dry heat to treat cold viruses. It shortened the cold by a LOT.

They had people get under a cover with a electric heater and turned it on high. They breathed that heat in and it broke up the congestion faster than any over the counter drug on the market at that time.

That was WAY back in the early 80s I read that and never forgot it.

When they got anarchy and its out of control.

Then we will get the civil war? I dunno. But this son of a bi%^ery has to stop.

Like I said. They’ll be down at the local Walmart fist fighting over TP pretty soon.

Just dam!

I read just today to drink warm liquids, not cold beverages or eat ice, or ice cream while you have the flu.

Chicken broth or something.

Yup! Moms old home remedies.

The LAST thing anyone should be allowed to do is if they start to get pneumonia is to lay still. That is the surest way to die. And that is how people are passing on with this.

I've prepared for it, but I’m not sure I'm going to like either. But we may not have a say in the matter. I know if happens, we haven't seen anything that would compare to the panic buying which would result.

The biggest question people are asking now is, “When?”

Indeed. When will I stop hearing about it. When will I stop witnessing the hysteria.
