It’s time for the long-lifers to band together and build an interstellar spaceship. Then, the Diaspora can happen with the intelligentsia saving mankind.

From the US Surgeon General-
'Seriously people': Surgeon general urges public to 'stop buying masks' for coronavirus
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/s...c-stop-buying-masks/ar-BB10zmxO?ocid=msedgntp

Kinda misstated his point. First he says they don't work, then he says if you buy them it makes them hard to get for those healthcare providers who need them to treat the chinese death flu patients?!?! Why if they don't work? Just say your panic buying is creating a shortage for those who need them the most...

Amazon and others have already stepped in on sellers' price gouging on masks and hand cleansers.

In other words, Amazon has contributed to the Great Surgical Face Mask Famine of 2020.

"If there is a shortage of something, the price is too low" ~ Thomas Sowell, I believe.

They don't effectively work to prevent the spread of the virus to the masked user on the street, they work to prevent the spreading of other diseases from the doctor or nurse to a sick patient with the virus.

This week's stock market drops have nothing to do with the corona virus. The market has been seriously over-valued and it's a glorified Ponzie Scheme that's ready to collapse.

In fact, another 2008 financial disaster is just waiting to erupt like a Hawaiian Volcano.

The plant personnel had to be respirator "fit-tested" by the safety department every couple of years. Not only did the have to remove from the storage container and don the respirator for a timed test, but the safety guys would also pop a canister of nasty smelling stuff to see who was, in fact, wearing a snug respirator. The "office personnel" were exempt thank goodness.

Another benefit of face masks for some protection from the coronavirus is defeating facial recognition systems. Just add sunglasses for >99% protection. Then, walk with a limp to defeat gait detection.

Alright now let's don't pick on Alabama people guys. I'm from Alabama.
So far I am partially right. China knew that the virus was spreading faster than it was, mislead W.H.O. to how many there were put other countries at risk. Did not give W.H.O. all the information it asked for and made them lie about it while they were in China.
Told you China done it on purpose. They may not have made it but they did nothing to stop it.
Kinda like seeing a house on fire and waiting 20 minutes to call the fire department.

And where do you think the Black Plague came from? They originated it then and now? well I think viruses decide where they will populate and where they won’t. Of course they possessed the Technology back then right?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death

or did it?

The Black Death probably originated in East Asia,[6][7][8][9] from where it travelled along the Silk Road, reaching Crimea by 1343.[10]From there, it was most likely carried by fleas living on the black rats that traveled on Genoese merchant ships, spreading throughout the Mediterranean Basin, reaching the rest of Europe via the Italian peninsula. However, one study has suggested the opposite view, in which the Black Death originated in Europe and spread eastward.[11]
We need to pull the trigger but, it stops short when we don’t have full knowledge of the where or the why for sure it will cost them much more than it will cost us, you can site anything you want but until we have a full knowledge its not going to do anything but inflame people, if you’re going to do that I will report this post, if not stop flaming.
