Coronavirus Live Thread. Live Thread 1
2/23/2020

Posted on 02/23/2020 1:57:16 PM PST by Vermont Lt

Figured we would start numbering the threads.

Some points to keep in mind:

1. This thing is not “just the flu.” 2. 1/10th of the worlds population is in some sort of lockdown. 3. Generally, we don’t buy the Chinese numbers But if anything they are low. 4. Everyone is welcome to post, but don’t bore us with your “you are panicking” posts. They are tedious.

It’s Sunday night and the Walking Dead is back. Let’s talk Coronavirus.

Their own families aren’t at risk.

Who do you think the antiviral stockpiles are for?

Filters “can” in a pinch be cleaned and reused (probably with reduced efficiency), but belts, brake pads, etc., not so much.

Quite a bit of “critical” stuff could be ramped up, but it might take martial law (possibly including a lot of “no liability” clauses for products rammed into production quickly) to focus production where most critical. Ugh.

Up thread was posted the WH will ask for $$$$$. How long will Congress drag their feet out of hatred? There’s so much TDS, they’d risk their own families.


Yep...WH reportedly to ask for $1B, for corona virus.

Lefty Congress and CDC chomping at the bit to hold things up?

They couldn’t get Trump with Mulehead Fake Investigation

They couldn’t get Trump with Fake Impeachment

Now, they’ll unleash a pandemic? Tank the markets?

Hmmmm....almost as if it’s by design....

These people truly are evil, if it turns out to be so.

Having Rod Rosenstein’s sis heading up the Respiratory division of CDC is NOT comforting.

And that’s why all tests have to be sent to CDC.

You definitely could be right. The video that was truly frightening was the “Wuhan at night” video, but some people were saying that it was actually an orchestrated protest. If it was, it was very well done.

There is SOME wiggle room there, indeed. A pretty good % of what I own fits your description. (Cars, fishing gear, electronics, etc.)

Repair PARTS however, may be a problem. Pretty tough to rebuild a brake pad yourself...

There may be a ton of pressure from India. Note how India has not been saying much about their infections.

Didn’t obamy get rid of all the old junkers? I always suspected there was more to that than what was told.

US military dependent in South Korea diagnosed with coronavirus, triggering precautions

A family member of a U.S. service member has been diagnosed with coronavirus -- officially called COVID-19 -- in South Korea, as the number of cases in that country continues to explode.

In a press release on Monday, U.S. Forces Korea announced that it had been informed by South Korea's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that a military dependent living in Daegu had tested positive for COVID-19. It marks the first time a U.S. Forces Korea-related individual tested positive for the virus, the release said.

The Chinese have now officially admitted this disease was designed. Even pointing out the four codes of designer DNA. Now watch the China lovers pivot on a dime. Oh wait. That requires them to now attack themselves because their good buddies the Chinese are now blaming them. Lolol.

everything concerns.

Manufacturing HERE depends on parts from Asia.

Asia might literally be shut down, possibly for months.

How many of OUR manufacturers have enough cash on hand to survive that?

Who owns their notes for borrowed money?

Will the banks survive that manufacturing being shut down for months?

What about the mortgage payments of their (presumably to be unpaid) employees?

etc.

Add on effects will astound...

Note to self - Before heading to the hospital, dump the pet food on the floor, take the back door off the hinges, put a bucket under the water faucet and turn it on drip and tell the furbabies good-bye because this over the hill lady will be ignored in the corner.

Rumors are that 1,000 Wuhan police are infected. That is why China has been flying in planes loads of police from outside Wuhan. This appears to target the frontliners because we they are not properly hazmatted.
