We have to survive the bio attack first.

That’s a shame.

Fortunately, there were vaccines for my kids. And I am not an anti Vader...if the docs wanted to give my kids shots...I took them all.

My son went yesterday to buy one and he still hasn’t heard about the background check, and usually it’s back within the hour.

“if it only killed the old people I don’t think governments would be hair on fire with this.”

Reports of younger people are appearing now

Walmart this morning: Credit to them, everything in stock except TP completely gone. Eggs and pasta in stock. Small town USA.
Prepared now for the long haul.

Shotgun 20 gauge. Can be use for hunting and defense. Save the AR ammo for the real bad guys.

How is the banning the use of private vehicles going to help?

That makes as much sense as banning guns.

New analysis breaks down age-group risk for coronavirus — and shows millennials are not invincible

The new data show that up to one-fifth of infected people ages 20-44 have been hospitalized, including 2%-4% who required treatment in an intensive care unit.

Yeah, this relative was born in the teens. The nineteen teens.

His mother should have taken care to see he got mumps when he was little.

Good mothers did that with the ‘childhood’ diseases back then. Still not risk free but WAY less risk overall.

My own hubby had chickenpox at 40. No serious effects fortunately. But it was all the evil dwarves living at my house at once. Itchy, bitchy, surly, snarky, feverish...

Mumps is known to do that to a grown man if he catches it.

As a boy, not a problem, but once you are an adult, all bets are off.

The MSM can all go to you know where. They covered for commie China all through January too. If they would have been doing their jobs instead of trying to falsely impeach our President, no telling how many lives they could have saved by raising the alarm earlier.

““we have the ability to do martial law ... if we feel the necessity.” - Gavin Newsom

Yes, every governor has the same power under an emergency declaration.”

It AMAZES me to see how few of us well-informed people had NO CLUE as to what powers government has, should the need arise. They seem to have been caught totally FLAT-FOOTED on this.

(And personally, I’m glad about these powers. I want our Emergency Rooms having open slots for my parents, should they get a heart attack or similar. I DO NOT want a bunch of selfish Millennials taking up those beds because they didn’t want to interrupt their party time due to political leaders begging them to socially isolate.)

Preachin’ to the choir, buddy.

This is war. Whether we like it or not, we’re in it.

Been saying that for a while.

“Major cities in China are now much like major cities here. Air conditioning is widespread. Many apartments in Wuhan look just like apartments in Los Angeles or New York, down to the stainless steel appliances.”

They people who think China hasn’t changed in the past 50 years have NEVER visited there. I’d put up just about any major city of theirs against any major city of ours, any day.

I think a lot of the ‘only old people die, good’ posters are either not from this country or simply waiting on an inheritance.

The world population of psychopaths and sociopaths is 6% on most days.

I think we have our own homegrown ones here.

We are going to learn a great deal about people in the coming weeks. People you don't want to be around during an ongoing crisis.

... It was really just a matter of time.

Yup, and it is in the Eastern Panhandle, which might as well be Maryland
