For those that haven't watched it, seems a good balance.

Bonus points for linking the full video instead of a snipped piece. Thank you, prior person did not.

Just watched the whole thing, not a good outlook for the world. His description of this not being a “blizzard”, but rather a pandemic “Winter” hit pretty hard. In other words this isnt going away in a week or 2- we have months to go and this disease is just in the early phase.

Duck, Take Cover.

10-15x as deadly as Seasonal Flu, he says. That's no joke. Hmm.

Yeah, 10-15x flu is bad, but I have to wonder about those numbers. For example, they take the number of confirmed cases and look at deaths within that group, how do they account for the unconfirmed cases? There must be a large number of people that contracted covid-19 but weren’t tested or listed as a confirmed case. So my questions was does that estimate include all potential victims or does that data come from only confirmed cases.

Dr John Campbell has a daily update looking at the Global Scene and you have to isolate the people to keep if from spreading due to the unknown of who is carrying the virus. He shows the window of the daily number of new cases dropping after a time frame of about a month IIRC.

Oregon has lost it.

St Patrick's Day has been canceled.

St Patrick's Day Shamrock Run Marathon canceled.

Schools closed starting Monday, but tomorrow it is ok to go in, WTF??

Limits on TP purchases started last week.

Sherif deputies at Costo keeping the peace since last week. TP and bottled water rations.

Hand sanitizer sold out, even at Home Depot, only place I've been lately.

Well I wasn’t laid off today so that’s a good thing.

I was however changed from being a salaried employee to an hourly one. Which means I’m only getting paid if I’m on a show. And there are no shows to be on right now.

I am still a full time employee though and have insurance which is important since my kids are on it. I also live well below my means and have no car payments or credit card debt. I also have a savings account. If I can work at least one week a month (considering that I now get OT and my days average around 14 hours) I can cover my expenses. Nothing more, but I can live with that.

Everything considered the company I work for is doing a great job keeping people around. The CEO and CFO are taking 0 pay during this time. They said if we can’t cover our end of the insurance premiums they will pay it for us until we get back on our feet and we can pay them back. They are also okay with us picking up freelance work even if it’s for competitors.

I have it better than most in my industry and I’ve got cash to hold out longer than a large percentage of the population. But if in a couple months this isn’t starting to get better I guess I’ll have to start a WTS ad. By then it should be a sellers market I guess Big Grin

Anyway if you’re the praying type, I could use one. It can’t hurt.

I wish the best for you Pale Horse, were gonna be all in this together soon. I cant help but think as this thing grows, my chances of contracting it as a paramedic in LA County are pretty high. From what that disease expert said about 1 in 4 healthcare workers exposed have contracted Covid-19. Im not a spring chicken anymore, but Im a pretty heathy late 30’s guy so I should be ok. I pray we all make it heathy, wealthy and wise.
At least Im in the right industry for job security right now... Big Grin

One of the things to use is toothpaste with grapefruit seed extract since the virus starts in your mouth and throat and then to the lungs.

Grapefruit seed extract kills bacteria and virus. You can also put a few drops in water to kill any harmful germs.

I have read all 100+ pages of this thread and listened to all the broadcast hysteria and insanity. I have am not overly concerned with becoming infected. What does concern me is to what level the insanity of my fellow citizens rises to.
So.... After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, did everyone run out to the store and buy up all the crapper paper?

Oh, I fully expect to catch this stupid BatFlu. I expect to hate my life for about 2 weeks. I just hope that all the supervisors at my job don't catch it at the same time...or the rest of the shift...because there aren't exactly redundancies in place.

I'm wondering if they will cancel the Republican National Convention. We've been prepping for that for months, but it's more than 5 more months away, so I expect things will have calmed by then.

I just hope it doesn't wipe out my parents and my wife's parents (70s) and her grandfather (94).

I'm not worried about running out of food, or TP. I could stand a few weeks of fasting, still, and the less you eat the less you need TP, so there's that...

We will be replenishing our cold and flu meds stock. We always have a good bit floating around, but I'll take an inventory this weekend and buy a few things. I think catching this is inevitable for me, unfortunately.

They did not. My father was 11 years old and living on the island of Oahu when Pearl Harbor was attacked. He says that everyone went about their day as usual, mainly because no-one knew what the hell was going on. It's a pretty good indication that the velocity of today's information highway is both a boon and a detriment.
