Yesterday's thread is here: http://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3823939/posts?page=1301
Trump just said domestic travel restriction recommendations may be coming
“Disney has decided to bring its incredibly popular Frozen 2 to its Disney Plus streaming service three months early “surprising families with some fun and joy during this challenging period” as the country fights the novel coronavirus pandemic.”
Isn’t that special. It’s not for the CV but for the $$$.
This one is transitioning to anger, now. It’s a positive step.
The military had already implemented this. It will come from hot spots
Preppers prep quietly because of people like you.
Preppers are not doing the fear mongering because we don’t talk about our prepping.
Go blame someone else for the fear mongering.
Prep club is like fight club.
Show us where preppers are to blame for the shut down. We don't make those decision, in case you weren't aware.
And do you honestly think that no one prepped for swine flu or H1N1??
You just didn't hear about it.
Nobody cares how much toilet paper you buy.
However, the needless fear mongering has crashed the economy over a once a decade event.

Likely one of the most ignorant posts I’ve yet to see, on FR.
Prepping is NOT fear mongering. Prepping that MOST on the CV threads have done, has been gradual and, if anything, has ASSISTED the economy.
It’s also kept a significant number of shoppers out of the stores, at this critical time.
Secy Mnuchin was asked an obtuse question, similar to your statement, and I appreciated his reply...
The dollars that people are spending, today, on food/supplies, have actually evened out the dollars that are being lost to TRAVEL and entertainment.
So, take a clue from Mnuchin, POTUS, and others, here.
Also....if you truly believe that this is hoax/nothingburger disease, then kindly and simply refrain from posting on these daily CV threads.
You are not contributing to the valued info that many, here, are sourcing and posting.
Take good care.
“Their horrible abuse of their people and their cheating lying business practices couldn’t do it”
The CCP is going to have a hell of time keeping their monopoly of power. All the brave people who exposed the true extent of this scale have permanently exposed their chicanery.
The good, honest people in China (and Iran) now have a powerful new weapon against their despots.
This is from a friend who is a very reliable source on such issues, and he is a Freeper. Here is what he got from another reliable source:
”I have reliable sources saying to prepare for a full shutdown of the US govt for 2 weeks minimum very soon.Also to prepare for rolling blackouts. Energy companies today had a conference call with Trump about the grid not being able to handle the shutdown and to prepare for rolling blackouts to ease the burden.”
My friend’s analysis of why the blackouts are purportedly coming focuses on airborne transmission of CoVid-19 and nuclear power plants.
”This shouldn't be an issue, we're not even into peak cooling season (summer) and factories will be idled as a quarantine/supply chain side effects.However, I went looking into it based on the following data that American medical tests showed COVID-19 is an airborne pathogen.
[snip his data review]
Power control rooms are by definition close contact for an airborne pathogen. Power companies have been cutting the control staffs for the grid and power generation plants past the bone for decades. Infection and quarantine issues mean the availability of those control room staff is going to be shit.
You can pencil whip a lot of power plant stuff, especially natural gas ones.
But you can't pencil whip nukes. About a quarter of our juice, and most base load power, comes from them. If not enough people are available to properly staff them, they'll have to shut down under NRC regulations.”
Pence is warning of practice good hygiene around grandma.
He also mentioned the flight ban that takes effect on Monday. Take a look at https://flightaware.com/live/map now and lets see if it changes much on Tuesday. I don’t see much change for already banned China and EU.
Unreal, the ignorance being spewed, by some,here, on the impact of this virus.
If folks aren’t understanding the ChiCom connection, to all things relating to this horrid disease....INCLUDING the financial impact, then...imo...are beyond help and understanding.
VP just announced that all travel to/from UK and Ireland will be stopped, effective Monday night, at midnight, EST.
Americans can come home and will be funneled thru certain airports.
Suspending travel from/to UK and Ireland, effecti ve Monday night.
LOL...exactly what I tell hubby and my kids :-)
I know you are quoting others, but this post makes no sense.
Critical national infrastructure needs to be maintained even if some people get sick, particularly when the numbers show that 80% who are infected have minor symptoms.
Utter BS.
“Swine flu is a “lethal virus”. Killed 500k world wide I believe. Did we shut down the country and crash the economy for that? Of course not.”
So maybe the Powers That Be know more than you do.
The Can’t-Be-Wrong Butflubros are the worst - blaming everybody else for the things they don’t understand.
Pretty sure that when the dust settles you’ll learn (but not accept) that the death toll in China and in Iran was much, much higher than their governments admit, and that if not for the actions of various national governments, similar numbers would be realized around the world. Governments already know the truth about Wuhan. Why do you think they all reacted so vigorously? Oh, right, because preppers gaslighted them.
Ping to Black Agnes.
EXactly what we’ve/you’ve been talking about.
Get ready to buckle up, folks.
Thank you, thud!
This is probably coming, but my guess it will be at least another 2 weeks.
