A friend of a friend in the gov’t says we will all have to stay home for two weeks. I think longer but they don’t want panic. It’s to be announced this weekend or tomorrow. They are waiting for the national guard to get in place to prevent looters. Trump will evoke the Stafford Act. Stay safe everyone. Sprout your seeds early this yr. Go and get yr starting soil now if you need it! As a disclaimer, I am getting this message through a friend that has a relative in the government. Stay safe everybody!

To answer the question about financial stability, now would be a good time to invest in precious metals if you have cash on hand. The prices are actually down pre-Virus and they’ll only go up with financial uncertainty, also highly liquid.

Guns make a good investment, high resale values post crisis and high sale values mid crisis.

People also always need pharmaceuticals. You can buy animal antibiotics and many other things without a prescription as long as it is not for human use. Even though it is the same drugs. Also handy if you don’t have insurance.

The situation as we understand it is changing. This has never happened in our (or our parents, or grandparent’s generation, and society is radically different now) lifetimes. Elections upcoming, global turmoil, bad markets, this is reminiscent of the 20’s and 30’s, all the right conditions for fascism. Be careful, any number of men will promise an end to the uncertainty.

I visited a grow store today to get some coco and they had roped it off, you had to tell them what you wanted and they’d grab it. Odd, because it’s the same amount of interaction, in a closer footprint. Security theater, just like the airport.

Well if you really wanna protect yourself try this its worked for thousands of years. The best one is Horse sage…for me i like to mix all the sages mixed with a little bear root for my heart. I smudge my house all the time. I have a shell and Eagle feather…never sick! Mountain Sage from California is really good stuff and DON’T tell everyone keep it secret!

On a happy note, I have a california sage plant that is several years old, love the smell.
I live in a little town and my local army recruiting office started flying a add today hiring for military police officers , talking about patrolling neighborhoods keeping the peace etc, seems like it’s coming soon if you ask me. People are stupid and can’t act right so we’re gonna get boots on the ground to keep all the idiots from burning the place down. Pisses me off I got work to do , money to make , and clones to aquire. I have elderly family who are super sensitive health wise I’m afraid for.
I don’t think this is a bio weapon there are already existing viruses and bacteria that would be way more effective to use with a much higher fatality rate. The sad thing is if we can barely handle a natural outbreak we would surely be doomed if somebody started popping aerosol cans of some truly dangerous shit all around the globe at once. We need to learn from this and prepare because it will happen someday. maybe this is just a test run idk I’d pay close attention to how this all plays out.

The corona itself isn’t so deadly. BUT… it’s a carrier vessel for EXTREMELY deadly viruses like Ebola and others like anthrax. ( these can live IN the corona virus.) If some crazy decides to release something like that we’d be fucked, especially if you wait until a billion people have corona.
