We’ve seen articles like this from February on.

It’s not unreasonable to suspect this is true.

It would go a long way to explain the hair on fire response of governments to this all of a sudden. From ‘it’s just a bad cold’ to ‘OMG! panic!’.

That sounds like the ideal set up...especially, now!

A good friend is the spiritual counselor at my MIL’s nursing facility. They closed down last week. To visitors. Except for end of life.

She said she was going to have to meet families at the door, gown them up, and stay in the room while they visit.

Now, last summer my mother was actively dying in the same facility. I would come in late in the morning and stay until later in the evening. For ten days. Those days are over.

We parted the other day in the grocery store...she said she likes my MIL so, she hoped she wouldn’t see me for a while.

This whole thing is so 1900.

I am still laughing about the grocery store being out of bread.

That is totally perishable, and _has_ to be restocked constantly.

The panicking folks don’t even know how to panic properly!

NYC is exploding.

We saw this coming, since at least two weeks ago.

Nobody has debunked the reports of 5x normal bodies at the funeral homes/crematoriums.

That puts the dead in Wuhan at hundreds of thousands. That is consistent with the numbers from Italy, if as it appears, China just blocked in everybody in Wuhan and let the disease run its course, resulting in a collapsed HCS and 1 in 12 dead.

If half the people fled (as reported) and the CV penetrance in an unvaccinated population with no herd immunity was close to 90% (as projected) and 1 in 12 died (as in Italy) then the crematoriums would have been as busy as they were reported to be by their own workers. 300 to 400 thousand dead in Wuhan, *just* in Wuhan.

No wonder everybody has freaked out in the governments of every nation on earth.

Of course, that’s all circumstantial evidence and conjecture, but it fits the known facts. We’ll never actually know the truth, I suspect, or at least not until much later.

I wonder what the average age in Wuhan is right now.

One of the things about Taiwan was that they DID NOT WAIT until China/WHO owned up to saying truthful things, or until facts were ‘proven’.

Instead they knew 3 THINGS - they knew where China had their Level 4 lab, they knew where the virus started, and they understood to never trust a thing out of China.

That was ALL they needed - they knew this would be bad, really, really, bad...and so far, they’ve gotten it right, and are doing far better than the US or Europe.

Has anyone seen this yet? Someone on Twitter said this is the report that led to the ramping up of US strategy:

Yep.

Another friend, in Vegas, said she tried to get her fave bread and it was all gone. Said all meats were gone, too.

(Her Sams had a VERY long line, outside, before they even opened. I feel for these folks....it’s like they’re wondering blindly, trying to figure out what suddenly happened.)

I thought....why are you getting bread??? You should be buying bread flour and yeast, or bread mxes, at the very least.

I put all of the mixes I bought, over a month ago, into vacuum sealed pouches and then put those into a gasket sealed tub.

I also have bread flour (in freezer) and lots of yeast.

Yes...I read that, on the CV thread, yesterday.

I think it was cgbg who posted.

(Apologies if I got that wrong :)

And....it was like watching a scary movie, before going to bed.

I advise folks to read during the day :- /

That’s another good idea.

We had clouds, today..but, have been having warm, sunshine days, lately.

Can you wrap that stuff in aluminum foil like packages of raw meat?

Lil:

See my post #7 on this thread.

The actual report is there as well as a link to the Chris Martenson discussion of the report.

I live in Vegas. 24-hr stores here have closed overnight, to allow for trucks to arrive and re-stock, and to allow for spraying possibly, out of overabundance of caution. I went out today and found shelves fully stocked, maybe slightly longer lines but normal other than that.

Don’t believe the hype.
