“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:5-8 KJV
Why are people hoarding toilet paper and not cough drops? Why are they not going after the flu medicine and Excedrin rather than TP and cleaners? Losing March Madness was the last paper straw!
The reason people are terrified is because this virus is being run by a bunch of Trump hating screaming women and their collared dogs at CNN. Even President Trump has been muzzled into going along with we are all going to die if we don’t have a trunk full of TP rather than a level headed approach. This is another flu bug which is going to be over in two to three months but you are going to have the usual sickness and deaths of the flu bugs in the past. Last year 80,000 died from the flu in the US and over a half million worldwide. Imagine if this hyped up disease kills a fraction of that number?
It is time the men step up and say it is time to all go about your business and if you are sick take a few days off and maintain your composure. This Corona virus is 90% hype and 10% sickness. Some feel they are immune by drinking Coronas during their formative years. You now have the PC Nazis goose-stepping forward to say they are offended someone says the bug originated in China rather than simply stating its origin and being done with it. As with every political argument with the DNC you cannot criticize their most favored allies like the Chinese or Cubans.
This is what happens when reality meets headlong with the left’s snow globe world. They must shape the narrative to fit their religion. Like every one of their Commandments, you must offend not any group or show support of America so this virus must be pounded into their world view or else. You cannot state facts or reality when you must maintain their view, if you live their lifestyle you will live forever and have no sicknesses or troubles and bigger government will keep you happy. Do not watch those Chinese storm troopers spraying their people or building giant morgues err hospitals to care for their utopian Single Payor lifestyle.
Why are people stocking up on TP rather than Kleenex’? If you are going to be quarantined to your home, you should have plenty of cold medicine and Kleenex to blow your schnoz. People are preparing for a hurricane or flood and not a disease which most likely is going to be a mild cold for most to a bad flu for a few. Just like any flu if you are in poor health it can turn into pneumonia and possible kill you. The highest of risk are the same ones as always, the elderly and HIV or cancer patients who have no immune systems.
Once again it is a virus, so it does not care if you are a politically correct good person. It does not care if you are a vegan or homosexual or lactose intolerant, as a matter of fact it prefers it. Vegans and homosexuals have lowered immunity to these types of diseases and will go deeper into the body and especially the lungs and respiratory systems. Both lifestyles shorten your lifespan due to massively higher disease acquisition and are going to have a higher susceptibility to this virus.
What China and Italy has taught you is, Single Payor Healthcare is a disaster waiting to happen. This is a fairly mild disease compared to the Black or Bubonic plagues and both systems failed. Both countries were swamped with their lack of doctors and nurses and limited hospitals which swamped them in a few days. They then went to a triage system leaving the elderly lowest on the productivity list and were sent home to die of pneumonia.
This is the exact system the DNC demands for America leading to the exact same results. Does the gummit spend money on a young healthy working person or a retired person collecting Social Security? Would Nancy pull the plug on a Dem voter or a Repub? The Single Payor decides rather than a doctor who is sworn to save lives.
This disease once again shows the advantages of capitalism over communism. The capitalist society reacted once the information came in there was an issue and, in this case, overreacted. The communist society hid the fact they had a problem for weeks before there were people dying in the streets and could no longer hide it then moved to draconian measures. Many say it was used to stop the rioting however nobody will know thanks to the closed society let alone trust their results.
Now that you have your toilet paper it is time to analyze where the country is at. It is most likely overreacting and like the last decade being pushed by screaming women with their hair on fire. It is time for men to take over and go back to living life with caution not hysteria. President Trump has put the actions in place to control outbreaks and monitor the disease as it progresses before ending like every other flu season.
The trillions of wasted dollars and time is a casualty of the hysteria we are living under. From now on whenever there is a swine flu the country will shut down and the markets will tank crying for a govt solution. One of the silver linings is the oil prices have dropped to all time lows with the Saudi/Russia gas war. This should be a shot of adrenalin into the economy once people are allowed to fly again and travel. There should be a drop in gas prices of around 50 cent leading to higher profits for business and more room in the household budget.
It is time for Americans to remember who they are and act like Americans. This is the home of the brave which includes not succumbing to a flu bug. If it is your time to go home to God, then it is time but worrying and a garage full of TP is not going to change a thing. Get some extra cough drops and your favorite cough medicine and ride it out.
Think of the stories you can bore your grandchildren with. You can go down with the Valley Forge volunteers who marched twenty miles in the snow without shoes and rags wrapped around their feet to win the battle of Trenton. History books will have the Corona light virus right next to it. Thankfully there were no screaming women or CNN at the battle of Trenton.
Pray for America
Note: The above opinion is not necessarily my own, but FReeper Bray’s. If you wish to discuss this, please ping Bray.
• Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.
Daily Miscellany
Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.
Enjoy. Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".
It's not that I don't believe there is a new virus out and about and people are catching it, people are getting sick, people are dying.
But as of this writing the affected rate is around 2200 and the death toll is around 50, most from a nursing home in Washington state that was not paying attention.
The "normal" common flu , to my surprise, affects approximately 80,000 people with over 13,000 deaths. I read these numbers somewhere and my ageing memory might be off. But for sure 40 deaths is nowhere near 13,000.
America is handling this whole thing very well and allow me to insert my pride in leadership, but President Trump is doing a wonderful job.
And there has been passed legislation that will help Americans who caught the virus through no fault of their own. I am quite sure that businesses economically hurt by this epidemic will be cared for by the American powers that be, government and private industry combined.
This is America. You don't see South Korea or China promising to pay disability as needed. Italy's not going to boost up any pizza makers any time soon.
After this is all over, and hey, spring is almost here and flu season will be done....we will have virus testing kits that we can buy at the grocery store. Hey, we can send in our DNA to discover our heritage, something not done before. We can mail in our stool samples to test for colon cancer. Some enterprising drug company will discover and market virus test kits and soon, the vaccine against same, that we will be able to buy from the grocery store.
Some other American entrepreneur will invent a device that we can attach to the inside of our clothes that will dispense a sanitary wipe with a quick flick.
Hey, working from home! I was once a women's libber, for which I am not proud, and while I loved to work, the worst part of a full time job was the damn commute. From this we will adapt and learn how to work from home, saving on gas and time to get more done.
Yes, it's been anxiety causing and the toilet paper frenzy defies any sort of common sense.
But this is America.
We shall lead the way and the world shall follow.

Below info on the first time both parties came together for the greater good of American citizens although Nancy Pelosi's efforts to pay for abortions via this bill kinda stinks.
And the bit about providing food for children kept home from school because they always get their lunch at school....sheesh.....always wanting hands in the cookie jar.
The House voted just before 1 a.m. Saturday to pass an emergency coronavirus response bill to increase testing and aid people kept from work, a measure meant for quick signing by President Trump next week as the government tries to arrest the pandemic.
The final vote was 363 to 40, with one member voting "present."
"Our bill which is basically intact what we are passing," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, referring to the Democrats' original coronavirus package released on Wednesday.
"And there's some things that they wanted that we have to put off until the next time because it just came in late, you know," said Pelosi, referring to Republican requests to change the bill
The legislation, which is expected to be approved by the GOP Senate when it returns next week, came after intense talks between Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, which continued through the evening Friday.
The legislation will provide for free coronavirus testing, guarantee workers two weeks of paid sick leave, up to three months of paid leave, increase unemployment benefits, lunches for children who would normally eat at school, and increase Medicaid funding.

Joy Behar Taking Leave of Absence from ‘The View’ Due to Coronavirus.
The world is a better place with Joy Behar in hiding.
The virus did bring some good after all.
While neither she nor any of the show’s staff have tested positive for the coronavirus, Behar is heeding the entreaties of her daughter to stay at home for the time being.
Behar is expected to be absent from the show all next week and will evaluate her situation after that.
“I’m in a higher risk group because of my age, but I’m perfectly healthy,” Behar says on the episode, according to Variety. “I don’t look my age, but I’m actually up there. The number makes me dizzy.”

Dow soars nearly 2,000 points in post-meltdown rally
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/stocks/ar-BB112FMf
Stocks ended sharply higher after a volatile session Friday as Wall Street rebounded from the deep losses suffered in the previous session, the worst since the Black Monday market crash in 1987.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 1,985 points, or 9.3%.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also surged 9.3%. The averages posted their biggest one-day gains since October 2008.
Yes I've lost a bunch of bucks but it's coming back. In due course our economy will recover completely.

There's always some asshole politician that thinks this is the time to take away our guns.
The people of Illinois need to throw this dipwad out.
The mayor of Champaign, Illinois has declared a town emergency over the Wuhan coronavirus that includes a potential ban on the sale of firearms and ammunition.
According to a local report from WAND 17, Champaign Mayor Deborah Frank Feinen has issued an executive order that would give her office "extraordinary powers." She has issued the order despite the town and surrounding area not having a single case of the disease.

TIME FOR A SMILE
While Republican Primary for 2020 POTUS, voting will be down in Florida, Ohio & Illinois because POTUS, Donald J. Trump is unopposed.....every Republican and Trump supporters should turn out and cast their votes for Donald J. Trump to be re-elected to POTUS.
Trump has already bested Democrat Joe Biden in at least seven (7) primary state elections and Trump getting more votes then Biden in Florida, Ohio and Illinois would literally cause great political damage to the Mentally Challenged, Buffoon, Incompetent, Democrat, Joe Biden. Do it, Do, it Do,it!!!
Biden should no more ever become POTUS them me eating Swiss cheese on the Moon....period!!! Any vote cast for Joe Biden is a vote cast to destroy the American Republic Nation...period!!!
Hiya, AB! Love the Ides of March pic! A perfectly good shelf stable item cut down in its prime. Or was it past its expiration date? Stay tuned...
Enjopy a slice or two on me!
Little Caesar’s pizza washed down with a Corona. What could be more enjoyable for the Ides of March?
Seems every two years we have a virus.
Here’s one take on what is going on.
https://static1.squarespace.com/static/514b05c6e4b04d7440eb010a/t/5e43713e383ee71bf828b05d/1581478219297/Letter-to-White-House-Officials-Feb-10-2020.pdf
Aside from that you gotta wonder if this virus was weaponized,created by man initially, was it used to divert attention from other things going on in the world?
Neat little video here:

.....................
Then of course there was the oil fiasco. Seems Putin had joined, opec,the oil cartel designed to keep the price of crude oil up worldwide. Problem is he was supposed to lower Russia’s production some 1.4 million barrels per day but decided that instead:
“we are happy with the price of oil now”
that comment by Putin threw a monkey wrench into opec. It created a new leader of the group,Russia,instead of the Saudis.
Seems Putin underestimated the resolve of MBS,Mohammad ben Salman,King Salman’s appointed defacto head of Saudi Arabia (and a close friend of Pres.Trump).This happened 9 days ago on a Friday. The next day Saturday MBS told the world he was going to lower the price of crude some 8-10 dollars a barrel defacto putting the Saudis back in the number one seat of opec.
Putin has been seen pouting as he rides a white stallion bareback into the woods of Northern Russia for a quick vacation.
Where the price of crude oil goes from here is anyone’s guess,supposedly one of the goals of Russia was to destroy our fracking industry by encouraging banks holding loans of fracking companies to stop lending them money,we shall see. Currently, crude oil is selling for $32.93 for a 42 gallon barrel.

....................
Then there was the arrest of three princes and many others in Saudi Arabia and later a fourth added to the pile.
https://www.archyde.com/in-saudi-arabia-three-princes-arrested-including-the-brother-of-king-salman/
For those who forgot MBS was picked by king Salman to get rid of decades of corruption in Saudi Arabia.He and Trump had so much in common they became friends and have changed the face of the mideast and will keep doing so.

There is basically too much info on the corona 19 outbreak. Is it a virus that will likely play out as summer approaches. Was it man-made and then weaponized? Was it designed to change the venue from impeachment all the time and bad candidates for the democrat slot in November?
No one knows.
It is unusual however that these virus’ seem to occur on a two year basis and that the CIA and others who would create such a monster do so with numerous effects in mind. In the US we have two front runners in the dem party who will eventually go up against Trump in November.Crazy Bernie and even crazier slo’ Joe who doesn’t know where he is or where he was last night.LOL!!
Bernie gets good crowds but was destroyed by the DNC a few weeks ago when “coincidentally” everyone running all of a sudden “changed their minds” and became Biden bots. What a coincidence!
What changes peoples minds?
Threats,money,promises,money,paying off campaign debt,money.Probably, one or more of the previous.Unless it was this all the time:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/02/01/the-biden-purpose-is-finished-watch-how-fast-he-plummets/
According to Sundance over at the Conservative Treehouse the dnc needed Biden all the while to do impeachment 2.0.Everyone knew that when Biden was crooked when he threatened the Ukraine.He told them that if they didn't fire an official looking into his sons corruption he would withhold a billion bucks.He even went further and suggested the check with obama to see if he had the authority.
Once this happened the DNC knew trump would investigate. That made slo Joe the perfect candidate.The dnc could then claim Trump was simply picking on his opponent. Quite the con.
Without Biden the dnc didn’t have the BS claim that Trump was simply picking on Biden because he was running against him.
Quite a set up.
Was corona a convenient bridge loan between #1 and #2 impeachments of Trump?
We may never know.But always wonder.
..............
Here is some of what the Illuminati are up to courtesy of yet another freeper and why there are so many secret sealed indictments:
Here’s a direct link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kVQwX9l9HJ5F76x05ic_YnU_Z5yiVS96LbzAOP66EzA/edit#gid=1703320056
In the past I checked a random sample taken from the list against my pacer.gov account and it checks out. All the cases are legit.
People that I’ve found so far to have credibility have this to say about the sealed indictments (although how they know is a mystery):
“Charges on the indictments were said to include violation of the Espionage Act of 1912, High Treason, Election Fraud, Child Sex Trafficking, Homicide, Pornography, Money Laundering, Bribery, Perjury, crimes of Uranium One, 9/11, Cover Up of 9/11, March 11 2011 Fukushima Nuclear and Tsunami mass murders, Benghazi Massacre, Hijacking of Malaysian Air 370, Mass Murder in Haiti and elsewhere, Gun and Drug running, Human Trafficking, Child Exploitation, kidnapping, harvesting victim’s organs for monetary gain; Election Fraud, blackmail for votes on political issues through recording of pedophilia parties where children were raped, tortured and murdered, misappropriation and confiscation of US taxpayer monies through use of the illegal and privately owned Federal Reserve, IRS, US Corporation, City of London and Holy See, plus not implementing the freedom from debt GESARA Law signed into law by the US Supreme Court and President Bill Clinton.”
I know from a direct witness inside VA hospitals that harvesting of veteran’s organs were conducted for monetary gain after veterans had been overdosed on illegal opioids.
...............................
Another huge diversion that is totally ignored by the drivebys is the sealed indictments by DOJ said to be as high as 150k and expanding at a rate of 5k per month.If this is true its the biggest story never told.Here’s some background on it if you have the time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ3KFsLo05k&feature=youtu.be ...........................
Then there was the infamous ten reasons not to freak out over the virus
Here’s a take on all that:
All the studies cited in this article were done in China-again, no names attached to the study. I read some of these abstracts on a medical forum last night. They are simply propaganda attempts to make China look like the good guy here.
They must have paid that Spanish microbiologist a hell of a lot of money to write this.
You will see more and more of these “hopeful” studies re treatments and vaccines.
I see also that the Chinese are saying they have “contained this virus” and they are open for business. They have known about this for months and didn’t tell the rest of the world. They are offering help to Italy now. What a surprise!
Half of Milan is full of Chinese workers who live in cheap row housing/10 to a room, who work like slaves to roll out the Prada clothing and handbags. They had direct flights to and from Beijing/Wuhan and people wonder how it is that Italy was affected with this?
Meanwhile we here in the USA are daily losing our liberties to assemble freely, as they close down events, churches, Broadway etc.
I think CDC has boxed Trump in. What a mess!
....................
Here is yet another take on what is going on:
Although this was written some time go, it really shows you how the Chinese propaganda machine works with the DS and media Trump haters:
https://smallwarsjournal.com/jrnl/art/no-more-fun-and-games-how-china%E2%80%99s-acquisition-of-us-media-entities-threatens-america%E2%80%99s-nati
So let us follow the dots:
Trump is elected
He starts correcting our Chinese trade imbalance
China pays billions in tariffs
A virus begins in China- they keep it secret for 2 months
The virus comes to US
Our Chinese-owned media use it to create panic & tank our market
Just before Trump’s reelection
...........
So as you see there are many many issues we are facing all at once.Maybe its better to look at them in an overall view instead of simply from a virus standpoint.
.....................
Also my take on some of what is going on. Do we really want to destroy capitalism because of a seasonal virus that is supposedly worse than others we have every two years. Will the stop cruise ships,schools,plays,baseball,you name it all come racing back in 30 days when every thing is reopened or will many have suffered economic damage far worse than any flu could do.Jury is out.
...................
and finally: save the best for last: 
Leave it to Laz http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3824627/posts
