It is my theory that it is well known that there is no stopping this and the plan is to keep panic low, test only obvious cases, allow financial markets to stay as strong as possible as long as possible, all the while, prepare fedgov for radical measures they know will be needed anyway once medical care is overwhelmed. This explains military bases setting up facilities across the nation. POTUS said, when asked if US is prepared for lockdown/quarantine like China “were prepared for that and more if needed, but probably/hopefully not necessary”...something to the effect.
The word “prepare” was all over that presser
It sure was. I got that it's coming, but we don't know how bad but we're preparing for anything. We should too.
Yep. The state is great at prepping when it is in danger. How about those of us who paid for all that stuff ? Are you leaving the people to fight for the last can of spam at Walmarts ? Yeah I know, your hands are tied.
