3 PA counties are shut down. Only essential business remain open. Health care and such.

People are urged to stay home.

The plan is now clear as a glass of water, the COVID-19 virus is here to stay and will join the family of Coronaviruses currently in circulation. It will cause deaths and major disruptions to life as we know it. It has been introduced to further feed the narrative that we need a universal flu vaccine that is still 10 years away.

How far will COVID-19 will be allowed to go? I don't have an answer, but if anybody thinks it was the pure work of nature, they should reconsider.

Chinese national anthem played during Italian 'balcony concert' - YouTube

Chinese national anthem was played during the Italian "balcony concert" to thank China's aid to Italy.

UPDATE : 3/14/20 - cases outside of China

11500 cases reported on the 14th. Cumulative confirmed cases outside of China now outnumber the total recovered #. Unless China starts honestly reporting cases again, the rest of the world will pass China's 80k today. Italy has caught a plague. Japan is lying. There is no way a tiny island with such a high concentration of people have managed to stay under 1k cases when they were one of the first places outside of China to have a case. Iran and SK both forgot to report cases yesterday.. but in all fairness Iran's number only seems to update every other day.

South Korea - 8086 (+0?)
Iran - 12729 (+0?)
Italy - 21157 (+3497)
USA - 2952 (+778)

CureVac is a German company that specializes in vaccines...etc, they claim to have made much progress in terms of finding a vaccine for COVID-19, the CEO was swapped and something shady is going on. Trump is trying to pressure and lure them away form the German market and wants them to produce a vaccine exclusively for the U.S.

Talk to me about natural viruses, huh?!!

And btw, guess who is involved with this company now?

I really wish I bought a bunch of hand sanitizers a month ago, who would have thought. I have 1 small bottle, thinking about selling it for £250. jk

Apparently Mike Pence has announced that Trump's covid test came back negative. He looked sick or something in his press conference yesterday, but I guess that could be due to a lack of sleep and an overall very stressful situation.

In the press conference he did yesterday he said the US gov't is treating this as a "worst case scenario." Flights to UK will be blocked starting tomorrow and movement within the US will be restricted.

Nobody here is going to want to admit it, but this is martial law. Regular laws and freedoms have been suspended due to Covid in the USA. Just by declaring a "national state of emergency" the president grants himself all kinds of powers that he wouldn't usually have, and that are debatably unconstitutional.

I'm honestly way more worried about service disruptions during the next few weeks than I am about contracting the virus. I'm just getting to the point where my stock levels are back to normal and business is starting to return to its usual pace. But now the whole country is under a "state of emergency." I have no doubt that at least banks won't be open during their normal hours this week. Only time will tell how bad this is going to get for people in business.

It's not a strain of the flu, so who's to say if this reaction is necessary or not? There's been little transparency about what covid does to people.. aside from the dozens of videos that came out of China last month showing packed hospitals with sick people having convulsions on the floor.

It's clearly a bit more extreme than the flu, otherwise governments wouldn't have taken the actions that have been taken. The economic growth over the past few years is Trump's primary selling point, and it's an election year. I'm sure he wouldn't have crashed the economy without a very good reason.

The media is pushing the "it's just the flu, bro" meme to keep people calm, but I think the reality is that it's certainly not just the flu and is actually way worse/deadly. The flu doesn't usually cause cytokine storms with people's immune system attacking healthy cells.

Touche, lol.

Unlike hurricane and the like, grocery stores are still being resupplied. So while they are going bare in the short term, they aren't going bare in the long term. Publix, for example, is even closing hours early now, just so they have enough time to do all the restocking for the next day ( while keeping things clean).

For the life of me I can't understand people stockpiling toilet paper and baby formula.

Toilet paper isn't vital because as long as there is water, you can clean yourself with water. Baby formula is freaking disgusting and I doubt most people would be able to stomach it if they had to. But I'm having a hard time finding formula for my actual baby because a-holes keep buying all Walmart has to offer.

One thing is for sure, it will destroy many folk financially and cost some of them their lives not just their livelihood.

I fear time will show that the price society will have paid for trying to fight this virus is far greater than if we'd done nothing more than treat it as any other strain of flu.

I'm assuming the baby formula is for the actual babies. I'd hope.

Toilet paper is a psychological thing. It's huge and it's cheap, and makes people feel like they have SOME control. And everyone else, just see others doing it, and they think they have to as well. Rinse and repeat.

You know what's realy gotta suck?

People that actually ARE out of toilet paper, because they usually buy it when they are running out, and now can't get any lol.

phaz0rz · #**460** 03-15-2020

I'm not on social media but my wife is, and she's saying that people are stockpiling baby formula because it has a longer shelf life than milk. Implying a ton of people without babies are buying it just to feel safe.. even though they will most likely never use it and would probably vomit if they tried to.

I saw a listing on eBay yesterday for toilet paper. I don't think eBay has banned the sale of TP yet, but based off of what I saw yesterday, they most likely will very soon. The guy had the basic 1-ply "1000 sheets per roll" Scott toilet paper listed. $8 per roll or best offer, with over 30 rolls sold so far. I can't fathom why anybody is willing to pay $8 for a roll of TP, unless the guy is just shill-buying his own stuff to make it look like he's getting sales.

some use newspaper,twigs and leaves and branches

that is exactly how people are considering it. It's cheap for the bulk. And it makes people feel in control. For the price, it also goes along way. And there are also many very cheap brands of toilet paper. Again, this is psychological. You're trying to infer logic into this. It's not about what something IS, but what something LOOKS like it is.
