Maybe it has to do with the fast spreading nature, how we have limited ICU and respirator units and this thing has the potential to over run the ICU’s during peak. People don’t want to be without intensive care if they can’t breath.

What they need to do is expand the testing. They supposedly have a million tests available but they aren’t using them. My wife says that one of her former colleagues thinks she’s got it but they won’t test her because she hasn’t traveled. That is nuts. They should use all 1 million tests before the end of the month and manufacture another 1 million tests to replace them. Who makes this decision? Or is it just total chaos?

This virus also pushes the nations toward a one world government and
gives all governments more control over the citizens. I think it is a test on many levels. The world is very populated just now and that of itself makes it a dangerous place, because populations this size have to be herded or stampeded. There will be no more gentle suggestions.

Yup. It also comes on the heels of:

1. Democrats trying to steal a Presidential election with fake polls, voter fraud, dead voting, etc.

2. Multi-years coup attempt to remove a sitting President.

3. YEARS LONG anti-Trump diatribe in the media.

4. Booming economy

5. Polls indicating Trump’s reelection

Hey, “they” had to do something..... And this coronavirus does seem to target Boomers and men mostly..... Just saying.....It fixes the Social Security problem too.

I think they are just getting all the testing available.

It is not all online, but it is rolling out right now.

By next week, we should start to have real testing capability for everyone.

Excellent story which suggests but seems afraid to say the events timeline described points to a planned manipulation and an agenda driven reporting.

I also believe this. Read this piece carefully and it becomes more than obvious.

It is a mistake to believe everyone will or even should be tested. It would be a massive aste of resources and only under a Dr’s orders should testing be permitted.

Before March, no testing no panic.
Post March 1, much more testing, induced public panic.
What a bunch of babies.
We were once a strong and powerful country.
Now we teeter on the 49/51% ratio of idiots ruling the masses.
The sad fact is many want someone to control them. Weak human nature is outnumbering the strong, survival minded humans.

This article is by radio host Chris Stigall. He used to be on three stations in my area of Kansas City. Last I heard he was in Philadelphia but have not followed him.

Chris left Philadelphia I just read and moved to podcasting with another ex-KC Radio host at KCMO 810am Paige Powers.

True.

If you test safe today you could still pick up the virus tomorrow.

I would like to see a massive test in a smaller city near ground zero. One done for statistical purposes.

Get a better idea of the percent in a given population.

Good read!
Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Here's what needs to be highlighted from this excellent article:

The psychology around this virus and the way it's being covered is very strange. We know President Trump began taking action in January to mitigate travel between China and the United States. Media and health officials knew about coronavirus then. Maybe you heard a passing blip about a cruise ship, but certainly nothing like this.

Stores weren’t having runs on hand sanitizer and toilet paper in January. Or February. Or even the first week of March. Why? Because the media was talking about the Democrat’s horse race. Biden was nearly done politically. Super Tuesday was just around the corner.

Then, wham! Biden [wins South Carolina]...Every Democrat who’d been ferociously competing for a year or more suddenly drops out at the same time and endorses Biden. Bernie gets crushed in two primary elections back to back. Then….CORONAVIRUS!

All public events cease. A near octogenarian who can’t string a cogent paragraph together is abruptly crowned the party victor well before the necessary delegates are earned to secure the Democrats’ nomination. Well before more scheduled debates. It’s just…over.

Key Democrats are suggesting the remaining schedule of the contest should simply be terminated while Biden gets to hide from public view and coast to the fall, I guess? Then there’s President Trump and his wildly popular and well-attended rallies. Gone. Over. As are all public events. Just done. In a snap.

Because a one Europe government did such a GREAT job of confining the Wuhan Virus to a Chinese enclave in Italy...

The solution is ALWAYS more government and higher taxes, always, always, always!

****************

If you’ve ever worked inside a massive bureaucracy you know the answer. Add a ‘chaos multiple’ to that because of all of the health releated bureaucracies involved in the Cornonavirus issue. Not surprisingly, its a mess.

Bureaucracies consist of countless layers of personnel, offices and functions and are rarely, if ever, proactive or efficient. Yet we keep expanding and multiplying them.

If, as the hockey stick graphite squad claim, is accurate we will have many thousands of deaths by April.

We'll survive that. It took a near 50% fatality rate in medieval Europe to destroy the existing system.

If not, and the death rate remains low, what new reason will we have for all out panic?

Orange man bad, and we might get another 4 years of soaring economy and more freedoms *SOB!*?

If I am wrong, I will admit it on FR, but I maintain that most of this panic and hysteria is media created, is not based in fact but projections by the same people that have been predicting the end of the world in 12 years.

I hope you don't have to.

In the words of a very smart man, "Let's see what happens".

You?
