We went shopping during that time, and don’t have to wait in long, nasty lines now.
Don’t be mad at us because there is a lethal virus. It’s a fact, and it’s time to face it and try to protect yourself and those you love.
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.
‘We’ went shopping in January for stuff WE could see would be an issue because the supply chains from China were being cut.
WE saw the military quarantine of entire provinces and went !!!!! ‘when have the chicoms ever done THAT before’...’what do we need to have that comes from China’.
It’s not OUR fault you weren’t paying attention.
WE saw what the virus did to South Korea. Entire cities were quarantined and large and even medium/small gatherings were prohibited. WE thought ‘hey, if WE were locked in OUR homes for 2 or 3 weeks...what would we need to have’...
It’s not OUR fault you didn’t pay attention to South Korea.
Or Italy.
Or now Spain.
etc.
YOU weren’t paying attention to world affairs. Don’t accuse US of gaslighting and ‘destroying the economy’ because WE were were paying attention.
Unless you think Trump is the idiot.
Do you think Trump is an idiot?

There really is a reason for all of this. This virus really is different.
If you have time to watch some videos this guy does an excellent job of walking you through how this is different from the other “flu panics” over past decades:

Start with the older videos, and try to keep an open mind.
Folks here have been _on_ this for weeks, and we _really_ understand it.
That’s because the left doesn’t care how many old people die. In fact, they would prefer all old people die because old people remember the past and also tend to be conservative. The economy will recover. Hell, one presser by Trump and his task force made it bounce right back up in an hour from a week’s worth of loss.
The best thing that will come of this is that all countries and businesses are going to rethink their relationship with China. China will take the biggest and most long term hit and that’s a very very good thing. If several hundred people don’t lose their lives in the process, win, win.
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.
“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.
