I know, right! In the US they are curtailing arrests but you do not announce that shit to the public!!!! Now we will have some underhanded crap to deal with everywhere. My 9 millimeter is close by these days but luckily I live just outside of the city with just three neighbors and most of them are a good hundred yards away. If it goes full-on zombie-fest I am pretty insulated.

+1. There's a meme going around, "Now the West Knows What It's Like Under Sanctions."
Military assault is one thing but observers say economic sanction are deadlier in the long run. In the midst of a pandemic Dump's administration has the cruelty to increase sanctions on Iran and Venezuela.
I don't know how much we can blame US citizens. We've been brainwashed to be afraid, selfish, mindless drones. Very few people know or care about our despicable foreign policy.
Wait. What? I was trying to ascertain how you could work from home.
The Luxury of Apocalypticism
"The elites want us to panic about Covid-19 – we must absolutely refuse to do so."
...Is suppression of the disease really better than mitigation? The suppression of disease preferred by China, in very authoritarian terms, or by Italy and France, in less authoritarian terms, may look successful in the short term, but the possibility of the disease’s return, in an even more virulent form, is very real. Likewise, entire economies of everyday life have been devastated already by the severity of government action in Europe. Hundreds of thousands of people in Italy and Ireland have lost their jobs already, in the night-time, hotel and entertainment sectors in particular. That is a social and health cost, too: job loss can lead to the loss of one’s home, the breakdown of one’s marriage, and to a palpable and destructive feeling of social expediency. As to keeping elderly people indoors for months on end, as is now being proposed in the UK, it is perfectly legitimate to ask whether this poses an even greater threat to our older citizens’ sense of personal and social wellbeing than their taking their chances with a disease that is not a death sentence for older people (though it impacts on them harder than it does on the young).
The point is, there is such a thing as doing too little and also such a thing as doing too much...
...‘I want you to panic’, they say. But we don’t. And we shouldn’t. Apocalypticism is a luxury of the new elites for whom crises are often little more than opportunities for the expression of their decadent disdain for modern society. To the rest of us, apocalypticism is a profound problem. It threatens to spread fear in our communities, it causes us to lose our jobs, it mitigates against economic growth, and it harms democracy itself. Resisting the apocalypticism of the comfortable doom-mongers who rule over us is unquestionably the first step to challenging Covid-19 and preserving society for the decades after this illness has wreaked its disgraceful impact.

Nooo nono not a fan of nicknames lol
I found it on the friend of a friend on facebook although it wasn't the person who wrote it, read it and was like wtf really, done a bit of a google search to find out where it came from included the name at the bottom who I assume may be the original author but I really have no idea. Just thought when I read it that it sounded really idk I felt like I should keep a copy of it for some reason.
Oh lol.. I had no idea what you were talking about. We were talking about how CPS would keep going in this.
I’m not sure what the hell im doing.. I’m going to My clients home Friday to try to teach his mom his programs and help her understand his school work (she is a Russian immigrant). After that idk. Probably 2-4 times a week and quickly. I’m hoping my boss doesn’t decide to pop up but he’s 70 and seems ready to quit himself because he doesn’t want to go to homes. So maybe I’ll luck out..

Have to share this. My neighbor just gave me some toilet paper and that's just an example of how people can be generous to one another. Seriously, my heart is warmed. Such a simple act of kindness and like, wow, I could almost cry.
Tonight I went to the grocery store to get coffee creamer for my mom (she likes having it in bulk because she goes through it quick). Only 2 things of it were left in the big containers. I looked around. No toilet paper, no napkins almost, no paper towels, no ground beef, no chicken, just steaks and veal? Kinda was looking for pork chops. Those were gone, too. Almost no eggs, no milk, and frozen vegetables were even really picked over. Everyone out there is panic buying. Dad asked for me to get him toilet paper if I saw it. Ha ha ha. He missed it at Costco (those ahead of him got it all) and at Walmart. Yet he got me eggs and meat.
May be working from home soon yet I want to go in as long as possible. I want some sense of normalcy and routine.

I hear Walmart is shutting down stores, and is closed itself.

And (theory) may soon be used for camps..
Think.
Walmart has been quietly closing stores — here's the full list
Walmart is closing or has closed stores in 14 states, including Louisiana, Arizona, California, Virginia, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

That’s the only thing we can do. Keep perspective and do not panic.
If the gov mandates me to stay home. I’ll comply. I understand it’s a measure to keep the greater good safe. The sooner we comply and get people tested the sooner we can start getting back to normal.
We had a discussion as a family yesterday that it took this type of pandemic for the US to realize just how fragile our system is.
Bill Gates more than likely saw all this after the riots in Ferguson and Baltimore. It’s left vs right and there is no middle ground or reason. Just my way or the highway approach. Which is sad.
Your neighbor proves there is hope. We’ll all be alright. It will be a weird month with our way of living altered for awhile. But it’ll pass.

Italy has a world-class health system. The coronavirus has pushed it to the breaking point.
"I have never seen so many people die together before my eyes," said a nurse from one of the main hospitals in Bergamo, a city in northern Italy.

Uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh guys...............
Why did Bill Gates say he wants everyone to have a chip under their skin?
Why is it meant to prove you've been vaccinated from the virus?
Why did he post a link where they are doing this called ID2020.org?
Why did he resign from microsoft right when the crisis hit to do this?

Uhm...
I honestly believe we're in the beginning-middle of the end, I don't think we're in the end-end. Actually, keep in mind those 2020 IDs are just the beginning. The actual mark to come may happen next year or later. I'm thinking 2021 or 2022 is when the Tribulation starts ofc including the mark. This is because on the news, they said the vaccines for this virus will be complete in 2021 most likely. Also, schools may be closed until after summer. If it's that bad, that means depopulation. We already know the deal with that. They're trying to depopulate so they can have a less amount of people to control, so they can listen to the government. Imagine the world having only a thousand people all of which would listen to anyone of higher power. That's what they're trying to do hence the events during the antichrists arrival. They want less people to be on earth during his arrival for that very reason.
So in all honesty, everything should be coming together during or after 2021.
Edit: If this is true and the tribulation occurs during 2021-2028 or 2022-2029 then the mark of the beast would be present during the second/third year; 2023 or 2024 (4+2=6) satanic wise symbolic year, so I don't know...this is just speculation.

So with Italy getting hit so hard and just now reading about the deaths of numerous members of an Italian American family in my hometown.. and nyc getting hit so hard and NJ... I’m starting to wonder if this disease really likes Italian DNA. And why..

My sister has a personal answer she thinks is true. She believes that since slavery occurred, and White people enslaved Black people, most European Nations are suffering from this disease because...since their ancestors were known to colonize, and enslave Black people, they, being the descendants will pay for their ancestors deeds. There are many verses of God talking about saving his people (Tribe of Judah mostly since they're the apple of his eye) from being held captive in Egypt and wherever else the White folks took 'em.
Not all White people of course, but considering most of Gods elect are Black (Everyone in the Bible was whitewashed and the 12 tribes of Israel are most definitely dark skinned) that's why you don't hear Africa having any problems...the coronavirus is there but out of all the continents, Africa is with the least amount...
This halfway doesn't seem like a coincidence to me..

All I know is that it's mostly in Italy, Germany, Europe, Britain, England, every other country has like a couple hundreds or less. I don't even have an exact answer on this one.

Sanctions don’t exist that ban the sale of lifesaving drugs or equipment to those countries.
