i'm hoping the virus situation will become more clear in a few weeks(very few), right now everyone is reacting/over reacting to an unknown set of circumstances and consequently, mistakes will be made,,,,i've rarely navigated a complex problem the first time through...it distresses me that some political figures, governors and some mayors at this point, reach for the biggest gun in the cabinet to shoot a tit mouse....it's a common mistake i've seen over the years and applies to many situations, and frequently abused by those who have had little experience with power application prior to their current situation...subtlety is more effective in the application of changing peoples' behavior than is the brute force of edicts/lock downs etc. which almost always elicits defensive pushback from an inherently free people....how much damage is there going to be to the infrastructure of our economy and the resulting chaos of government if this "protection" is applied too long...and how many lives will be impacted/lost due to the unintended consequences that will undoubtedly occur...we can only hope that those in the lead positions in government will act with prudence and far-sighted/inspired application of their vested trust of leadership....we, as citizens, must always be vigilant to the erosion of our liberty and freedoms by those who would claim to be protecting us....and the abuse of power once applied, is oh-so-easy to use again..
As a salesperson, I will consider deals that I would've turned down 10 days ago. Gotta keep things moving, that's key.
If you are in position to buy, now is the perfect time. Plus it helps the country. People getting nervous and hitting the pause button when they are not the one's financially vulnerable is what makes these times much worse than they need to be.
In short, there are bargains out there now, go get 'em!

A long read but nowadays younger people have no clue.
I talked to a man today
I talked with a man today, an 80+ year old man. I asked him if there was anything I can get him while this Coronavirus scare was gripping America.
He simply smiled, looked away and said:
"Let me tell you what I need! I need to believe, at some point, this country my generation fought for... I need to believe this nation we handed safely to our children and their children...
I need to know this generation will quit being a bunch of sissies...that they respect what they've been given...that they've earned what others sacrificed for."
I wasn't sure where the conversation was going or if it was going anywhere at all. So, I sat there, quietly observing.
"You know, I was a little boy during WWII. Those were scary days. We didn't know if we were going to be speaking English, German or Japanese at the end of the war. There was no certainty, no guarantees like Americans enjoy today.
And no home went without sacrifice or loss. Every house, up and down every street, had someone in harm's way. Maybe their Daddy was a soldier, maybe their son was a sailor, maybe it was an uncle. Sometimes it was the whole damn family...fathers, sons, uncles...
Having someone, you love, sent off to war...it wasn't less frightening than it is today. It was scary as Hell. If anything, it was more frightening. We didn't have battle front news. We didn't have email or cellphones. You sent them away and you hoped...you prayed. You may not hear from them for months, if ever. Sometimes a mother was getting her son's letters the same day Dad was comforting her over their child's death.
And we sacrificed. You couldn't buy things. Everything was rationed. You were only allowed so much milk per month, only so much bread, toilet paper. EVERYTHING was restricted for the war effort. And what you weren't using, what you didn't need, things you threw away, they were saved and sorted for the war effort. My generation was the original recycling movement in America.
And we had viruses back then...serious viruses. Things like polio, measles, and such. It was nothing to walk to school and pass a house or two that was quarantined. We didn't shut down our schools. We didn't shut down our cities. We carried on, without masks, without hand sanitizer. And do you know what? We persevered. We overcame. We didn't attack our President, we came together. We rallied around the flag for the war. Thick or thin, we were in it to win. And we would lose more boys in an hour of combat than we lose in entire wars today."
He slowly looked away again. Maybe I saw a small tear in the corner of his eye. Then he continued:
"Today's kids don't know sacrifice. They think a sacrifice is not having coverage on their phone while they freely drive across the country. Today's kids are selfish and spoiled. In my generation, we looked out for our elders. We helped out with single moms who's husbands were either at war or dead from war. Today's kids rush the store, buying everything they can...no concern for anyone but themselves. It's shameful the way Americans behave these days. None of them deserve the sacrifices their granddads made.
So, no I don't need anything. I appreciate your offer but, I know I've been through worse things than this virus. But maybe I should be asking you, what can I do to help you? Do you have enough pop to get through this, enough steak? Will you be able to survive with 113 channels on your tv?"
I smiled, fighting back a tear of my own...now humbled by a man in his 80's. All I could do was thank him for the history lesson, leave my number for emergency and leave with my ego firmly tucked in my rear.
I talked to a man today. A real man. An American man from an era long gone and forgotten. We will never understand the sacrifices. We will never fully earn their sacrifices. But we should work harder to learn about them..learn from them...to respect them.

Today was the day for me. I loaded my ski doo up with 4 rolls of toilet paper, filled my tunnel bag full of food, strapped my AR over my shoulder and was bugging out. Then I remembered I didnt have a spare belt.

Really makes you think. As bad as the dems hate America, and Trump, I wouldn't doubt them being involved in something like this.
Sky News Australia
China must not be allowed to “rewrite” covid 19 history.
China must not be allowed to “rewrite” covid 19 history.
We owe China a pile of money. I say we just deduct all of our expenses from the bill.
As soon as we turn the corner and infection rates crest and begin to fall, we will see this "pandemic" turn into a DemPanic. Latest report is 1% or lower for the mortality rate, where the original was estimated to be nearly 5%. If the DEMONCRAPS can't pin this on Trump, they will have to frantically search for another "crisis" to have any hope of beating him in November. A sad world (politically) we live in - - - that's for sure!!!
Thank you BIRDMANID for posting this.

The neighbors all have hearts in their windows. Something about this chinah virus.
I told my wife I was going to put a bunch of penises in the front window.
She rolls her eyes and asks why? I replied that everyone "hearts" this Kung Flu, I say F__ the Shang Hai Shivers.
