My family has been stocking up on food slowly for a few weeks now. I have some drums collecting water not that I think the water will stop because people have the flu, a solar system big enough to run a couple fridges and a freezer again not that I think power will turn off because people have the flu.

I don’t think the flu will get that bad here BUT people panic. For example when there are cyclones here people run out and get all the milk and bread they can buy because obviously everyone needs milk sandwiches when it floods and gets windy!

I am no doomsdayer but a quick risk assessment tells me that I should be prepared.

Keep smiling

What I want to know is how are they going to stop no less just slow this virus when it hits 3rd world counties like Africa, middle east or south America, places that do not have well established healthcare facilities ?
Millions may die without a cure to battle it.

Starting to feel like all the movies I have seen on outbreaks all the way back to the Andromeda Strain are coming true.

And that useless pos WHO chief was among the first to downplay the news and lick China’s behind.
Now these fucks are at it again, “WHO Holds Secret Talks With Tech Giants To Stop Spread Of Coronavirus “Misinformation””

“Both Facebook and Twitter already announced that they would remove content deemed to be misinformation regarding the virus, a dangerous new lurch to mass censorship given that what is considered “misinformation” is totally subjective and beholden to partisan bias.”

That’s why this topic and alternate news sites may be the only place to get accurate information.

@STIGGY
Seriously it makes sense to always have at least a months supply of food on hand, preferably six, a full tank of gas plus gas in a couple 5 gal cans for a generator.
Storing gas is a pita and dangerous but it is welcome to know you can bugout to your safe place if needed.
The Great North American Blackout proved that one to me.

More news, none of it good:
"fourteen evacuees from the Diamond Princess were allowed to fly back to the United States Sunday despite testing positive for coronavirus, the U.S. State Department and Health and Human Services said in a joint statement. Why were they released? Because supposedly they were not symptomatic, and in a very ominous twist, they had tested negative initially!"

I’m gonna update my Holiday Grow thread just to throw some happy news out here.

The WHO has provided next to zero useful information and has mostly been engaged in propaganda and fund raising.

Recall, they’re the ones who were (and may still be) encouraging air travel and tourism to/from China in the midst of this outbreak while, in the same breath, accusing folk of racism and xenophobia.

Has any read any more info on the virus not leaving the body once contracted even though symptoms are gone, like HIV? I Wonder about those 4 inserts and if we’re going to find Out any more info about them.

I’ve read they now believe the virus can survive on surfaces for up to 28 day up from 14 day and that some people that had recovered have become reinfected and that they have been dropping dead due to heart failure.

Crazy stuff but its not like China would openly share that info with the rest of the world because it would hurt their economy that much more if travel and shipping bans popped up as a result of telling the truth.

The Westerdam cruise ship, the one that no one would let dock at their ports, proved those cautious people right as at least one passenger has tested positive for covid-19.
Over a 1,000 passengers disembarked at a port in Cambodia and by now are scattered all over the world.

This is going to get really ugly for the Tech sector.

That was the main story that picked up on this morning. Apple is going to hurt a lot of people when this shakes out. I’ve been an Apple customer since '97 and I’m not happy with them anymore whatsoever. I however wouldn’t have minded if I had been able to buy their stock in '97 when I loved them anyway. It was around $13 a share… lol. That $1000 would be worth over $600,000 now or more.

I’d say the world economy is about to take a crap.

I dont have time to read eveey post but I will say this.

5G is coming and theres not much you can do to stop it.
5G and AI are the way of the future. There is a tech revolution happening. The world will be a much different place in20-30 years.

Get w the times or be left behind.

All technology has its hazards. Guarantee you can find all these same convos from yrs back regarding wifi and older cell signals. Fear of the unknown.

The only safe place is in the middle of rhe arctic and Im sure even thats been compromised.
