And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:5-8 KJV
Why are people hoarding toilet paper and not cough drops? Why are they not going after the flu medicine and Excedrin rather than TP and cleaners? Losing March Madness was the last paper straw!
The reason people are terrified is because this virus is being run by a bunch of Trump hating screaming women and their collared dogs at CNN. Even President Trump has been muzzled into going along with we are all going to die if we don’t have a trunk full of TP rather than a level headed approach. This is another flu bug which is going to be over in two to three months but you are going to have the usual sickness and deaths of the flu bugs in the past. Last year 80,000 died from the flu in the US and over a half million worldwide. Imagine if this hyped up disease kills a fraction of that number?
It is time the men step up and say it is time to all go about your business and if you are sick take a few days off and maintain your composure. This Corona virus is 90% hype and 10% sickness. Some feel they are immune by drinking Coronas during their formative years. You now have the PC Nazis goose-stepping forward to say they are offended someone says the bug originated in China rather than simply stating its origin and being done with it. As with every political argument with the DNC you cannot criticize their most favored allies like the Chinese or Cubans.
This is what happens when reality meets headlong with the left’s snow globe world. They must shape the narrative to fit their religion. Like every one of their Commandments, you must offend not any group or show support of America so this virus must be pounded into their world view or else. You cannot state facts or reality when you must maintain their view, if you live their lifestyle you will live forever and have no sicknesses or troubles and bigger government will keep you happy. Do not watch those Chinese storm troopers spraying their people or building giant morgues err hospitals to care for their utopian Single Payor lifestyle.
Why are people stocking up on TP rather than Kleenex’? If you are going to be quarantined to your home, you should have plenty of cold medicine and Kleenex to blow your schnoz. People are preparing for a hurricane or flood and not a disease which most likely is going to be a mild cold for most to a bad flu for a few. Just like any flu if you are in poor health it can turn into pneumonia and possible kill you. The highest of risk are the same ones as always, the elderly and HIV or cancer patients who have no immune systems.
Once again it is a virus, so it does not care if you are a politically correct good person. It does not care if you are a vegan or homosexual or lactose intolerant, as a matter of fact it prefers it. Vegans and homosexuals have lowered immunity to these types of diseases and will go deeper into the body and especially the lungs and respiratory systems. Both lifestyles shorten your lifespan due to massively higher disease acquisition and are going to have a higher susceptibility to this virus.
What China and Italy has taught you is, Single Payor Healthcare is a disaster waiting to happen. This is a fairly mild disease compared to the Black or Bubonic plagues and both systems failed. Both countries were swamped with their lack of doctors and nurses and limited hospitals which swamped them in a few days. They then went to a triage system leaving the elderly lowest on the productivity list and were sent home to die of pneumonia.
This is the exact system the DNC demands for America leading to the exact same results. Does the gummit spend money on a young healthy working person or a retired person collecting Social Security? Would Nancy pull the plug on a Dem voter or a Repub? The Single Payor decides rather than a doctor who is sworn to save lives.
This disease once again shows the advantages of capitalism over communism. The capitalist society reacted once the information came in there was an issue and, in this case, overreacted. The communist society hid the fact they had a problem for weeks before there were people dying in the streets and could no longer hide it then moved to draconian measures. Many say it was used to stop the rioting however nobody will know thanks to the closed society let alone trust their results.
Now that you have your toilet paper it is time to analyze where the country is at. It is most likely overreacting and like the last decade being pushed by screaming women with their hair on fire. It is time for men to take over and go back to living life with caution not hysteria. President Trump has put the actions in place to control outbreaks and monitor the disease as it progresses before ending like every other flu season.
The trillions of wasted dollars and time is a casualty of the hysteria we are living under. From now on whenever there is a swine flu the country will shut down and the markets will tank crying for a govt solution. One of the silver linings is the oil prices have dropped to all time lows with the Saudi/Russia gas war. This should be a shot of adrenalin into the economy once people are allowed to fly again and travel. There should be a drop in gas prices of around 50 cent leading to higher profits for business and more room in the household budget.
It is time for Americans to remember who they are and act like Americans. This is the home of the brave which includes not succumbing to a flu bug. If it is your time to go home to God, then it is time but worrying and a garage full of TP is not going to change a thing. Get some extra cough drops and your favorite cough medicine and ride it out.
Think of the stories you can bore your grandchildren with. You can go down with the Valley Forge volunteers who marched twenty miles in the snow without shoes and rags wrapped around their feet to win the battle of Trenton. History books will have the Corona light virus right next to it. Thankfully there were no screaming women or CNN at the battle of Trenton.
Pray for America

You don't need a FB account to view.
The whole thing is ridiculous. We had no such panic when smallpox, diphtheria, measles, polio, leprosy were still active. Now a little respiratory bug and the press has gone wild.
Is the WuHuFlu gluten Free?
As it is Carbon based, I know it is organic...
In 1971 there was a longshoreman’s strike on the West Coast that stopped shipments of cargo to Hawaii for 130 days. There was a shortage of consumer goods but there was no panic buying until some smart ass radio announcer brought up the idea of a toilet paper shortage. Panic buying of TP began.
When the strike ended I was on the first ship to arrive in Hawaii. We brought consumers goods plus lots of TP. Local TV station greeted us. We were also the first ship to bring fresh pineapple back to the West Coast.
I always felt that is the origin of panic TP buying.
We live in a hurricane-prone region so I’ve always kept a stock on extra TP as part of being prepared; I keep a case on hand and replenish it as it slowly dwindles down to about 1/4 of a case. My dear wife ALWAYS gave me static whenever I’d buy another case like I did last month...LOL...she ain’t being so “staticiechy” now. He who laughs last, laughs best!!
We used to say that TP and .22LR could be come the next barder currency...LOL
One more time. Would one of the mods please remove the previous similar post?

Well put but it won't make a difference to the screeching school girls on the site.They are attempting to spread panic because they want to hurt this country for some reason (I have an idea why and I believe many here feel the same way)
But, buy, but, Bray, the Freepers say how good the Northern Italian healthcare system is. It must be the Alfredo sauce. We’re all gonna die. Ya know, the 2 week difference is coming. Resistance is futile!
Too funny!
