I can only imagine you think Trump is stupid. Perhaps you’d be happier on another forum that also thinks Trump is stupid?

Here's a link to it.

The problem will be the resurgence in the fall...just about the time kids go back to school or college.

It’s a repeat of history.

————————————-

And by then, we may have figured out an effective treatment option or, if we are really lucky, a working vaccine. It’s all about buying us time and if this works, it kicks the can that much farther down the road, giving us the chance of these possibilities coming into play.

The 590 barrel is much heavier. It’s what the Navy uses for breaching. You put some double ought down range with that and it will leave a mark on what it hits. Nice shotguns.

On my walk I was listening to an audiobook about the 1918 influenza. Do you know what it was called by the Brits in August of 1918? “The three day fever.” Ironic, isn’t it.>

My mother's mother got the 1918 flu - lived through it but her body was so weakened by the experience that she died some years later of something minor. My mother was a young child when she died and my Mom never got over the loss.

The CCP is incremental in warfare, I would expect movement against Hong Kong and Taiwan initially, if they feel we are sufficiently distracted. The Uighers are merely organ donors for them.

China just finished the largest mass casualty exercise in human history, involving rapidly built field hospitals, mobilization of medical personnel and equipment, and then massive deployment of their surveillance and propaganda machine to reduce any chance of uprising within.

This was an exercise.

They badly underestimated our President.

700 is for people down the street.
AR is for people down the block.
Shotgun is for folks at the door.
The 44 magnum is for people in the room.

The .22 is for people asleep.

Well, gun grabbers gotta grab.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

I think ultimately, it will backfire on them as people are going to realize that it leaves them defenseless at a time when they recognize the need for MORE defense.

It would not endear me to anyone to have them deny me my basic right to defend myself.

I have written up a list for an isolation room if anyone wants it. YMMV.

I don’t think Trump is an idiot. I don’t think he and every other world leader have torched their economies for ‘the flu’.

You're right - great observations Agnes (love the story on your home page about 'Black Agnes' - are you a descendant?) With this situation - as with so many others - watch actions... and the actions - the world over - are saying 'escaped bio-weapon'... They're also saying 'allow China to save face or it might get a lot worse'...

The most dangerous enemy is a cornered one.

IMHO China is cornered right now.

What would it take to shock us at this point? An increase of 500 cases overnight in a city? A 1000?

Any city that declared a shelter in place would make headlines, but would you be surprised? I think the only thing remotely shocking in this regard would be police/military checkpoints in a city, forced non movement.

LOL! Like that’s going to happen this year. Next year, maybe.

They want people sufficiently afraid to stay home and follow guidance.

So they don’t have to call out the army.

It is what it is.

This is why everyone needs to have 3 months of preps at all times for a rainy day, an illness or injury, job loss or financial problem.

Notice, I didn’t say full on bunker end of times.
