Flubros day 5!
It’s just the flu, bro.
Starting this thread earlier in the day today so that East Coasters can see it more easily.
How do you become a flubro (or flubra) and join the caucus? Easy - all you have to do is correctly recognize that Wuhan Chinese flu is not really that dangerous compared to an ordinary flu and the government/media/health care industrial complexes are overblowing things.
Swine flu killed 12k in one year a decade ago in the USA and hardly anything got shut down. The economic consequences of this overreach will kill more than this virus.
so true
BEAR IN MIND, this was all after the horse got out of the barn.
It does no good to lock the place after the burglars left.
His Finesy Hour!

I pointed out to my wife this morning when she complained of the China trade causing this situation, that Nixon went to China to stave off war and allow an expanded market for us, whether it was right or wrong to do...
In other words deny reality and believe in a world-wide conspiracy between every government friend and enemy including President Trump who is on record multiple times as saying that this virus is an enemy. Calls himself a war time President to defeat this virus.
And panic and virtue signalling helps how?
Italy and USA: Apples and oranges.

Bad memories from NYS Regents in the ‘60s.
What, like pulmonary fibrosis?

...I mean the list goes on and on. Do your own googling from here.
“No one I’ve known personally or heard of has ever died of the flu.”
And a DC socialite didn’t know anyone who voted for Ronald Reagan. But people did — vote for Reagan, that is.
I’m a flubro but not because I don’t believe the WuFlu is bad, because it is. But it’s not as bad as the media is portraying it in order to create panic and destroy the country.
I’m neither panicking or virtue signaling. I’m prognosticating to the bets of my ability so I can stay ahead of events as they unfold.
I stocked up beyond my normal dehydrated preparedness supply on things like toilet paper, toothpaste, and more “fresh” and freezer items, in mid-February when everyone was still talking about Shampeachment.
I took my kids out of school weeks ago because, as I told my wife, “Schools are going to get shut down. Let’s get them on a homeschooling program now so we can keep up the pace and have the summer free to go camping.” Plus, we have my high-risk father-in-law living the basement and I didn’t want the kids in school when the infection started spreading there. Two weeks later, the schools shut down.
I predicted that the DOW would go under 20k and the “real bottom” was around 18k when people were pissed it had fallen to 26k.
So this is just a matter of knowing when to beat the chaos. Being ahead of the curve is always helpful. Careful analysis of the situation helps give some insight to what may be coming.
Want another prediction? If this chloroquine + azithromycin treatment fails to produce results, we will see mass looting in CA and NYC within 2-3 weeks (4 as an outlier), quickly spreading to cities like Chicago and Detroit sympathetically. Luckily I don’t live anywhere near there.
Nice try at deflection...your original comment was about ventilators not being available because they’re all used...not about conditions that MAY occur IF people contract COVID and become that ill. There are no sources showing this situation in the U.S. Try again...
Oh that. I didn’t know what you were talking about because you weren’t specific. Let me get source...
That’s from the Jerusalem Post:
I should point out that I decided to split the difference on the market and got back in at 22k. Made that decision when it was at 25k.
So my predictions aren’t always “perfect,” but... that’s why I got back in rather than timing it all the way down to below 20k.
from what he sees and hears in the hospital
One article, from the Jersualem Post, about a reporter who "claims" based on what he "sees and hears"...not anywhere else in a reputable source AND not in the U.S. which is what you're original post about "bodies stacked", and "no ventilators available"...again, nice try.
Do I have to wear a ribbon?..
Oh... I also see that you didn’t follow the thread and responses back up. If you had done so, you would see that response was referring to the conditions currently *in Italy*, not the U.S.
So, there’s that.
