Please give some real life examples of things that are WAY worse every year.
I am just the opposite, I can't believe how many complete morons are not taking it serious. This is just my honest opinion. I would love to hear specifics from you and not just the very vague BS you are spewing.
I have a friend that is an 'in town' tractor trailer driver, the way he explained the 'supply chain' to me yesterday, its VERY fragile, and its only about 3 days worth at any given time, thats why the stores do not have anything to restock, they are waiting the distribution centers, the distribution centers are waiting on the manufacturers to make it, and the manufacturers are having problems getting supplies they need to make the stuff.
It seems to me, the real impact from this virus is not going to be from the sickness itself, but rather, from all the things that fell like dominos once it started, and of course, if this keeps up another month or two, we will be in a deep depression by then.
Its amazing how fast the world falls apart.
Three million lost their jobs this week. And that is just those who lost their jobs and filed for unemployment. There are no doubt millions who haven't filed for it. And many who are working are seeing their hours cut. A similar scenario is playing out in virtually every city and country in the world.
This IS a depression.

If I was going to suggest a conspiracy I would look at the world map of the corona virus cases: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...-2020-n1120686. Right now there are three African countries and Antarctica that have no confirmed cases; so I would think they are probably the culprits behind this outbreak. Of course in a few days that list can be shorter. And I would imagine that Antarctica is the real culprit. Here we thought it was bats and it was penguins all along!
I always thought there was something hinky about those penguins!

Yes...and strangely the Stock market is doing great right now??!! WTF?
If that isnt proof positive of this being 'something else', Im not sure what is!!
***I would bet FEMA is 'withholding' the real stock market numbers, (to avoid a run on the banks and a public panic)...there is just NO WAY IN HELL, the entire world is going thru what its going thru and the stock market is doing great, that is not possible.

My feeling is that many investors thought it was the right time to buy. I feel that the market will go down to about the numbers it hit in the 2008/2009 fall. I could be wrong; the last time I was just about right to the dollar. But it is like going to the casino; the odds are against us getting it just right.
Even though I guessed right in the last crash; my wife did not want me to take a chance on our retirement money. So my successful hunch never paid off! What do they say: You have to play to win. Of course they do not say: You have to play to lose!
The topic here is the "Coronoa (sic) Virus 'outbreak'" The current outbreak is identified as COVID-19. If you are discussing something else it does not belong here. You can send your screenshot all you'd like but if you actually go to that page the announcement is very clear that Pirbright is not involved in experimentation or "tweaking" with the current COVID-19 virus.
I don't see any reason to call a true humanitarian who is supporting multiple efforts to improve education and health conditions throughout the world a "population control fiend" without a trace of support. You may have that opinion but to broadcast it without any evidence is irresponsible at best.
I have no idea what your comment about a flu shot is supposed to mean; are you hoping I get sick?
BTW: Your sources are meaningless garbage.
I think you are only angry about my belief because you must have gotten the flu shot. Because the NIH is not a garbage link.
If I am wrong why are you worried? Because someone might not rush out next year & get their 18% chance of 'protection' from the flu & not be one shot closer to GBS or Alzheimer's? Even if I'm wrong about COVID which I don't think I am (its too early to tell); at least they can't say nobody ever warned them.
And no seriously; your flu shot should be waning & that means you are LESS likely to get sick from covid. When I say your shot is waning it means hope for your health, not the other way around.
I would know because the writer to whom I was responding indicated that in a previous post.
I do not care in the slightest how you feel about the virus.
There is not a single medical expert hiding in your link.
And I snicker at your invocation of the tired "corporate controlled media."
Carry on with relying on the totally uncontrolled media of YouTube, et al..
