Yes, exactly.

And if we’re all in our homes, we’re not such a big target.

In normal circumstances, GCS would be a GREAT way to distribute a bioweapon.

How many people go through there now?

etc.

I think Cheyenne mountain is a good place to get away from most any threat. Including viruses. Most other facilities aren’t designed to survive a nuclear war. And don’t have the long term storage of food and supplies already there. Stuff that’s been there a while that you can be sure likely doesn’t have pre-positioned microbes on it. Plus it’s not really near a huge metro area?

Wonder if the SAC base near Omaha is doing something similar.

If we were the only country doing the lockdown thing I’d be really suspicious. But they’ve even locked down Lagos, Nigeria. I can’t imagine they’re doing that to make Trump look bad. That will wreck their own economy as wel.

Whew....at least you’re not thinking it’s a means to ‘go dark’ and round up bad guys...or something. ;-)

I notice our internet was not shut down, yesterday...so, that’s good. (Keeping fingers crossed :)

Agree that these (extended) measures seem to imply a more virulent problem than is being reported...or, let on.

There’s a reason for POTUS extending AND for the NORAD bunker move.

If the internet goes down, people might start shooting.

Who they will shoot at this point is an open question.

From some of the comments on ‘other’ threads, looks like LEOs or anyone they don’t think has ‘the right’ to tell them anything. And the poor unwitting health officers...

Flu Bros are in early. I guess being retired and never leaving your house allows for posting on the internet all day.

Shame, many will probably be Walmart greeters when this is over. The world needs their guidance and wisdom so much. Look at all they've done for conservatism and conserving ONE thing ever. Not even public bathrooms or library story hours.

I am one of those crazy people who enjoys casinos and hates the stock market.

Why?

Because I understand the risk/reward of the casino.

The stock market is rigged for insiders imho—and there is no transparency to be found. Corporate balance sheets are a tissue of lies, confusion, etal.

Part of why—back when I just got my MBA from a “fancy” school with a finance major (in my late 20s) I was recruited by firms that managed huge pension funds etal.

I _knew_ I wasn’t ready to manage ridiculously large sums of other people’s money—but they didn’t care—they wanted to hire me anyway!

I don’t trust those “financial managers” of “investment advisors” as far as I can throw them.

A casino—I _know_ what the deal is there.

Wow....that’s odd...I thought China was on the downside of the China Virus.

Who do they think they are, bulldozing churches and temples....Comrade DeBlasio??

FWIW, for example, smallpox can survive on surfaces for months.

It’s not the only virus that can live longer than a few days on surfaces either.

This is one reason I don’t trust ANY medical supplies from China at this point.

We have no idea what’s on them. Might be simple ‘reused’ masks that are just dirty. Might be something way more nefarious.

Oh honey.

I hate to tell you.

Casinos are crooked too...

‘House always wins’ isn’t just a catchy phrase :)

That Biogen meeting was one seed event there.

Eli Lilly probably sent a lot of people.

A few issues, lol.

1. None of those say it is risky NOT to take it.

2. And they are not peer-reviewed. Wasn’t that YOUR requirement? I could have found not peer-reviewed articles against taking it, such as:

https://www.bmj.com/content/368/bmj.m1086.full

*****

The NHS recommends: “But until we have more information, take paracetamol to treat the symptoms of coronavirus, unless your doctor has told you paracetamol is not suitable for you.”
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/self-isolation-advice/

******

PARIS (Reuters) – France’s health minister on Saturday said people should not use anti-inflammatory drugs if they have coronavirus-like symptoms because it could worsen their condition.

“Taking anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, cortisone …) could be an aggravating factor for the infection. If you have a fever, take paracetamol,” Oliver Veran said on Twitter.

https://www.physiciansweekly.com/france-warns-against-use/

*****
Véran also pointed to research recently published in The Lancet, citing 2 studies that examined 32 non-survivors from a group of 52 intensive care unit patients with COVID-19. Comorbidities included cerebrovascular diseases (22%) and diabetes (22%). The study recommended that patients with cardiac diseases, hypertension, or diabetes, who are treated with angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-increasing drugs are at a higher risk for severe COVID-19 infection and, therefore, should be monitored for ACE2-modulating medications, such as ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers.2

There are more, but I know you’re just here to stir s*** so I’m moving on.

A feel good story about some folks in my church!

“A Georgia church may be online because of the coronavirus outbreak, but that hasn’t stopped them from getting creative and serving the community.

Rachel Reeves of Revolution Church helped deliver more than 500 Chick-fil-A sandwiches to doctors and nurses at two hospitals, Northside Hospital Cherokee in Canton and Piedmont Mountainside Hospital in Jasper, both cities where the church has locations”

I noticed that.

Not peer reviewed, anyway.
