Flubros and Flubras! Day 49 (a place for Flubros and Flubras)

It’s just the flu, bro.

Two things today:

Public policy contradicts the science - Wuhan flu will stop when herd immunity occurs. Both deaths and economic damage are minimized when herd immunity occurs as a result of largely asymptomatic people getting exposed to the virus as quickly as possible. Anything done by policy makers to actively prevent the spread of Wuhan Flu to the healthy (eg school closures and business lockdowns) actually winds up increasing the number of deaths and hurting the economy. The target should be to try and get the approximately 60% with antibodies needed for herd immunity to be largely from the healthy population. Ben Shapiro has been good about this recently - I guess Israeli scientists call it the controlled avalanche approach.

We Flubros published our version of the same science here (we were first to publish)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3830890/posts

Public policy is both killing people and destroying the economy.

Boosting immune system against CV - Young healthy people are not affected by CV. This will be known as the nursing home disease with maybe half of all deaths nursing home residents. Nursing home patients are often stuck inside all day which makes them vitamin D deficient. Low vitamin D is apparently an excellent predictor of probability of dying from CV. So vitamin D supplementation and/or sunlight will help make sure you are asymptomatic if you get exposed. Extra zinc might also help as it kills the virus. Not sure of the science but maybe since Hydroxychloroquine plus zinc helps them zinc alone must surely help too. Any other Flubro insights on how to stay healthy when exposed to Wuhan?

But about 2,000 people are dying of Covid in the US every day.

The big lie.

When the foundation of your argument is bullshit, the rest of your argument crumbles.

The death by rona numbers are cooked. And you are stupid. So, mathematically...

Its just the flu, bro.

Covid is”only” 75k in 2 months.

The big lie. The numbers are cooked.

Why do you repeat fake news?

I wonder why the numbers for NY are so much worse than the rest of the country?

Because they are best at cooking the numbers to hurt Trump and get federal money.

I wonder what the numbers are for NYC during a non-political flue season. New Yorkers are packed together like rats in a box, after all.

.....Today’s interesting data is that mutations are being recorded and it’s weakened the virus. Which is exactly what one would expect. Nothing new here...

I heard a gentleman yesterday state that the virus weakens as a means of survival, because if it consistently kills its hosts, it would be suicidal for the virus.

Now that you say it with such authority here on the internet in a political forum, it must be true.

All kneel.

Of course they are, haven't you been paying attention, fearbro?

And here's another example of how you're being duped like the sucker you are.

Pennsylvania had to retract around 270 bodies from the count after several county coroners cried foul.

And that was in a handful of fairly rural counties.

T'was ever thus. Top down direction has never been successful.

Honestly, what I find interesting about the folks around here (older, nearing or well into retirement) is that a lot of them did not seem prepared for the “disaster.”

Having lived through the Dot Com bubble, working in a large bank—through the financial crisis owning my own business...and then watching the ten year expansion, I wonder how you could look at that and NOT assume it could turn in a second.

Sure my 401k is taking a hit, but my “investments” for the coming emergency have actually grown. Bonds, bullion, and bitcoin. And cash. A little at a time, and the cushion is good for up to two months until “retirement” at today’s levels.

I am not rich, but I’ve lived through 9 months of short and and long term disability...and we haven’t missed a beat or a payment.

I am not bragging or “showing off.” But if you live conservative values (live under your means, pay yourself first, and think long term—and plan for the worst) how could you be “freaking out” over the stock market.

In fact, if you were “paying attention” to the facts and data, you would have started selling the market in December and at least in January. The VIX was in single digits. It was the more obvious trade in my life time.

Financial health is as important for your families success as personal health. No one seems pissed about how the market was propped up for a decade with cheap money. No one seems pissed about the Fed’s zero rates for a decade (or close to it.) No one seems outraged that the FED is reinflating the market with direct market purchases, or how they have expanded their balance sheet by TRILLIONS.

Instead, they are freaking out about having to wear a stupid mask or not being able to eat at a restaurant for another month.

The entire economy is shot. Any gains you see in the next month or so are directly from cash, and products that were already in the pipeline. Its as if you picked up your garden hose and held it up. Water is coming in...but if the faucet is not turned on...it is not going to last very long.

People need to pick up their heads and SEE what is coming down the road.

In January I was posting that this was not going to kill you. But it was going to F up the works...I posted that there was dust on the horizon. We did not know if it was the enemy or our own tanks coming. Guess what...there is more dust on the horizon. And we do not have the forces to fight it.

And for most people its too late to do anything but run away.

Added D3 to my regimen of vitamins about 7 years back after hearing about the health benefits in the Steve Gibson “Security Now” podcast on computer security of all things. Since adding a daily d3 capsule, I’ve gone from having about 3 colds a year to an average of no colds per year.

Sounds like my experience. I'm 86 and despite going out shopping, etc., have dodged the bullet so far.

I guess you could start “saving” today. But it won’t do you a whole lot of good when your money becomes worthless.
