There is a big difference between knowing it and living it.

We have been warned for decades that a world wide pandemic was keeping epidemiologists up at night.  We knew or should have known some disease would hit that we were not prepared for.  We all knew what measures would need to be taken to avoid getting it.

Well it happened.

We are now living in the real world facing a pandemic like the 1918 Spanish flu that killed 50-100 million people.  The US population was 104 million then.  It has now happened to us in 2020, it is impacting all of our lives.  I for one am shocked about the reality of this crisis.  We can't touch things and people we normally touch without thought.  We can't even go to the stores because of the crowds. 

Most responsible people are trying to do as we know we should and are hunkering down, staying away from people and our normal lives.  That reality is a bit strange for sure, it is an alteration in our life pattern that is disrupting and even frightening.

What I find very disturbing is the number of people out shopping at Lowes, Walmarts going to home markets and congregating in large numbers in enclosed places.  Until this insanity is stopped we will not get past the spread and all of us are put in danger by those irresponsible and panic driven people.

We are now hearing to lock ourselves down until May.  WOW, that is a long time to remain isolated for most folks, it does not bother me as I am happy to be alone but never lonely. 

This is also planting season, gardens and food crops will be planted late unless we can break the cycle of infection and get out again. 

It would be great if more people, especially in urban areas, would go home and stay there until the all clear is given.  If they don't this could last all summer changing America forever.

True, but it's pretty hard to plan for a pandemic when it is intentionally released from a military biowarfare lab. Which to me BTW is an act of war and should be treated as such.

HPD, you're going to have to fist fight those who say it came from eating bats. Or pangolins. And whoever wins will have to fight the other tinfoilers who say we introduced it into China.

From what I have read on many different websites, some stuff WAY over my head this is a natural virus and could not be lab altered without some molecular level traces that prove its creation.  ALL bio altered living things have these tell tale markers that can not be hidden and still create life.  Any information disputing those facts will be welcome.  I have plenty of time to read it.

  And that's what they wanted to do,just like with The 9/11 investigation .Have a whitewash investigation and absolve any ruling authority as blameless to prevent it. Then clamped down on freedoms and rights to prevent another one.

    Now The US dollar is going to be devalued with trillions of dollar of debt promising a magnificence rebound in May.

      Younger people are porting that we should save the economy by going back to work and sacrifice the old,sick and dead to the history books like in 1918 and get on with the Resurrection of the world's economy on a greener scale!

            Red China will be absolved of any liability and Warfare Bio labs will continue to research and cook up other viruses to protect and preserve your safety and well being in The Coming light at the end of the tunnel.

             The sociopaths are in charge now and your lack of vision is because you fail to understand the need of the future

  being controlled by the elites.

Serf, only you can control yourself. Everything else is optional and voluntary. 

I read a LOT about bio weapons, genetic engineering and the formation of new life from existing life forms.  You can not make life itself, you can clone he living but not create it.  You can alter the genetics of a living to create a new different life form but that process still starts with life and then manipulation to create something different.  It is akin to the genetic corn of today where bamboo was spliced in the stalks to increase storm winds resistance.  We tire sellers love those tough sharp stalks, we sell a lot of tires because of it.  With all that said unless China has a way of creating life itself by some magic then any alteration of a life form will be traceable. QED.

  I guess that's the Crux of the problem now,if a cross over animal can transmit a virus over to humans can the virus progenitor be found and if it was replicated from another source can it be identified as well for the smoking gun to a Bio-lab made source. All we get is denials from W.H.O., which I am suspicious of being not correct. I have seen a lot of other educated Biologist papers on line said it's suspicious also.
