COVID-19/corona virus mega thread/prepping thread

[tokugawa]

I watched the April 10th NBC News episode via Youtube.

There's political cranks pushing for FedGuv to manufacture 300+ million COVID tests.

The only way that's reasonable to do, is if you have a means to administer 300+ million tests.  And the authority to force non-willing subjects to take the test.

I smell a massive power grab over the makeup of the individual human body coming.

 You touch on the basic question defining religious and political thought.  "Do you own yourself?"
All totalitarian states will assert you do not, in fact, own yourself- that "society" or "the state" owns you.
That is the fundamental reason they hate Christianity. Free will is toxic to tyrants.

I said American  hospitals.    I don't know about other countries.   I'm not surprised about Italy .....   and I wouldn't trust most broadcast network news if they told me July follows June.

That one sailed right over your head, didn't it?

My county (in MO) is OK with them. Don't know what Kentucky's problem is.

Oh, just saw this.

I saw a video of some pastor in Mississippi I think, filming a gaggle of cop cars showing up to block people from his drive-in service. He mentioned the common question of why it was okay to go to Walmart with 100 other people, but people sitting in the car was not and mentioned his constitutional rights. One of the cops said, "Your rights are temporarily suspended."

They never want to miss an opportunely to try to make Orange Man look bad

   Union Locates Massive Supply of N95 Masks – SEIU UHW. Thank you ⁦@SEIU⁩. Proud to be a member of this union. We are all in this together. https://t.co/WvA3eQFevd

   seiu just revealed they found *39 million* n95 masks while trump is sitting on his hands https://t.co/qwivLjvtmh

But maybe in this case they should have

   The SEIU’s claim to have located 39 million masks was actually just someone in Kuwait trying to scam them (!!). The scam was uncovered when FBI agents tried to seize the masks from the SEIU and to FEMA (!!!) https://t.co/Hbfirxa1NN

Move over chem trails, 5G spreads C19 

Q: I follow Woody Harrelson on Instagram and he says that 5G radio waves spread the coronavirus. This is frightening!

A: Woody Harrelson is an actor and entitled to believe whatever he wants. Based on the NIH research I have read and my 25 years in the tech industry, I’m confident that 5G signals and coronavirus have no tangible connection except that they’re both invisible to the human eye.

Harrelson’s assertion is only the latest in a wave of coronavirus conspiracy theories. My advice is always to consult the CDC first, using its social media channels to find the newest information. These are some of the foremost health experts in the world and only present facts that they consider settled science.

This whole over-the-top CV response will prove once and for all that we have only those rights the government (at all levels) allows us to have.

I think only like 15 countries have 5g so far...so...

Seems like somehow the conspiracy that china lost 20 million cell subscribers, at the same time as COVID, at the same time as their 5g cross over, somehow all got mixed up.

Careful. I got raked over the coals for daring to assert that.

The most important number, hospitalizations....they are on the downtick in NYC:

China bans black people in public. Okay MSM "the US is xenophobic" China lovers, time to step up.

If 5G spreads the Covid, some other frequency range ought to corral it - maybe even kill it. My cell phone is 2G (Nokia 5190) and I don't have the Covid. Obviously, 2G repels the Covid. 

No, my cell phone is not for sale!

Someone somewhere is at their computer right now writing the article using unquestionable logic explaining how this is all Orange Man's fault and you know one or more of the congress critters is going to run with it.

They said they wouldn't be taking back around here.

Raise a big enough stink and Walmart will take anything back.

Well looks like meat is going to get more expensive. Smithville closed South Dakota plant for at least two weeks could be longer.

 In the end, we have only the rights we are willing to die, and kill, for.
 That is the only thing that stops the expansion of power. 
 All the rest, the law, the courts, is all window dressing.

Why would anyone goto the trouble of returning $20 worth of paper towels?  You'll use them eventually.  (Rhetorical.  People are stupid)

Smithville must be a small player, they aren't one of the big four. Friday commodity reports says that packers have surplus of meat in frozen inventory.

Yes it is.  CBS proved it by using video of an Italian hospital overflowing with CV patients to depict a New York City hospital.  After being called out for it the first time, they claimed it was an error in editing the story.
Then they doubled down and did it again for another story on hospital overcrowding.

CBS's lazy journalism doesn't change anything.
