    Well if martial law is declared, we might get some good use out of those FEMA camps after all.

    Maybe liberals should think twice before vacating the Second Amendment. Just sayin.

    Tom Henks said he has only felt a little tired. No fever, congestion, or coughing. And he’s 60+ with diabetes.

    So 20% of the population will become VERY sick?

    Do you realize what that would do to our medical infrastructure?

    That INCLUDES doctors and nurses.

    If only half the US population gets it...that means 30 million in hospitals almost at one time...with less doctors and nurses.

    Explain it to me. Why shut down the economy, lockdown life, and surrender liberty for this particular virus and never any other? What is so apocalyptic and cataclysmic about this virus that life has to run, hide, and cower?

    Deaths

    COVID-19: Approximately 7,494 deaths reported worldwide; 85 deaths in the U.S., as of Mar. 17, 2020.*

    Flu: 291,000 to 646,000 deaths worldwide; 12,000 to 61,000 deaths in the U.S. per year.

    Chinese studies: Japanese flu drug appears effective in treating COVID-19


    Chinese medical authorities have said a Japanese drug called favipiravir, which is normally used to treat new strains of the flu, is "clearly effective" in treating COVID-19 patients, The Guardian reported Wednesday. It would still need government approval for full-scale use, but it also has a high degree of safety because it's already been used to treat flu patients. Some experts reportedly speculate approval could come as early as May. The Chinese studies, which tested 340 COVID-19 patients, have shown patients turned negative for the virus after a median of four days compared to 11 for those who were not administered the drug. Japanese clinical trials have so far found that the drug's effectiveness is not as strong in patients with more severe symptoms.

    Exactly. WTF took so fkn long? Though I thought it might be their other flu drug, Xofluza.

    Was reading about that a well. Seems promising but some have reservations about it as well. Both in its effectiveness and side effects. But good need none the less. Came out of Fuji film labs i believe. Go capitalism!

    Who is going to pay for all of this destruction? And how long will it take? Trillions and trillions of wealth gone. Because of how many US deaths? 1 million? 100,000? 10,000? 1,0000? Nope, none of that. 114.

    approximately .000035 % of the population. We destroyed the finances of over 50% of the working population for the .000035% who were old and dying. Go fkng figure.

    It's worse, it's over 75% of the working population. For .000035? Where the fk is the logic, the reasoning, the rationale?

    78% Of Workers Live Paycheck To Paycheck

    Why ? YOU ask - [​IMG]
    Perhaps it is because of their Policy "Never To Let A Good Catastrophe Go To Waste"

    The most eloquent and informative article that I have found on this Idea has been written by:
    By John W. Whitehead
    https://www.rutherford.org/]The Rutherford Institute

    Found Here:

    This Is All Just a Test Run: As To How
    The Constitution Will Fare During a Nationwide Lockdown ?
    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/54023.htm

    From The Article:

    After all, like the proverbial boiling frogs, the government has been gradually acclimating us to
    the specter of a police state for years now: Militarized police. Riot squads. Camouflage gear.
    Black uniforms. Armored vehicles. Mass arrests. Pepper spray. Tear gas. Batons. Strip
    searches. Surveillance cameras. Kevlar vests. Drones. Lethal weapons. Less-than-lethal
    weapons unleashed with deadly force.
    Rubber bullets. Water cannons. Stun grenades.
    Arrests of journalists. Crowd control tactics. Intimidation tactics. Brutality.
    &
    "....no matter how it starts, with a questionable infringement justified in the name of safety or
    a nationwide lockdown to guard against a global pandemic, it always ends the same: by pushing
    us one step closer to a future in which the government has all the power and “we the people” have" none.

    It is insane.

    And the calls to do it came from the people who are suppose to be champions of the lower income working class. They just screwed the hell out of them.

    And the ones Ignoring the direction to isolate, mostly the younger generation who lean liberal.

    If effect they called for this shut down and devastating blow to the economy, only to ignore it. Brilliant.

    Because of this action, I am out close to 5000/month. Car payments will be missed. Property taxes not paid. Health Insurance will be lost. Every spare penny will be for food, shelter, and heat. And maybe a bottle of Jack Daniels to wash away the sour taste in my head.

    Just like Everybody else.

    This is such a Bummer.

    So many Good people having having their livelihoods destroyed.

    But, we are all in the same boat.

    Obviously, the worst part is the "indefinite" length of this.

    Even people who had any sort of savings will be quickly depleted.

    Great!

    I hope you aren't proposing to use one case as a justification for considering America's medical experts all wrong.

    The group most strongly recommended to self isolate are those over 65 or with medical issues that put the person at risk.

    But, I don't get your general spin here.

    The call for social distancing is coming from our medical experts.

    And, it is being promoted through our government, including our president - who is the very last person in America who could be accused of caring more about medicine than the economy.

    the banks found a more creative way to make money than war, much better payoff when you know the outcome and short the market!

    Is the Current “Pandemic” Just the Latest Contrived
    ............................................................................. “Enemy of the State”
    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/54030.htm

    I’m beginning to believe the current “pandemic” is perhaps just the latest contrived
    “enemy of the state”. An opportunity taken by western governments that have, over
    the past 20 or 30 years, gotten bolder in their willingness to fabricate fear to secure
    a political end. Political ends are always about greater control, corruption, and
    ultimately, cover ups.
