    4 months ago, could you ever imagine that schools nationwide would be closed indefinitely, State govts closing private businesses indefinitely, sports leagues canceling/suspending seasons, empty grocery stores, Las Vegas casinos shutting down? It’s not the public panicking or the media. The govt is panicking and for good reason. Hospitals are about to be overcrowded, people are going to die, many people are going to die who won’t receive the proper medical care because the system will be stretched to its very limits.

    Believe it or not the only state so far that doesn’t have a confirmed case of Coronavirus is West Virginia. I don’t think anyone saw that coming!

    Wallstreet opened on schedule 1 minute later hit the first limit down and halt for 15 minutes.

    When that wears off and drops 10% there will be another halt 15 minutes.

    When it limits down at 20% it will close for the day.

    So... a hour of waiting and we all go home having sold everything and gained nothing.

    Whats really interesting is treasuries no longer pay YOU money. In Soviet Russia YOU pay to have them. (Negative interest rates yeild now) or you get paid to have credit card debt once that 30-20% or whatever is worn off by 50% negative rates once Uncle Sam discovers the cash flow is good, like a crack addict after the first hit.

    Someday when all of this is over and I have no one here in Arkansas Ima move to Green Bank. I understand that there is not very much of anything post internet there because of the Observatory. In essence going back to the 60's all over again in a way.

    Now on TV they said something about the government talking about keeping groups limited to 10 people.

    At this rate I might have to evict my wife from the truck soon.

    I don't share this panic and out of control fear that people are feeling boosted by the sensational news making everyone believe that they are going to die if they catch this virus.... making everybody run to hospitals if they cough or if they think they are sick... people are over reacting about this.... this virus can spread much faster than others like SARS, MERs, EBOLA, etc but it's not as strong as those... to think that anybody that is infected will die is not true.
    But people are sheep.. they believe what they hear from the sensationalist news and lose control... and then run to the hospitals making it more difficult for those who really need help....
    I believe the USA will be able to control the spread and soon this will start going down like it happened in China.

    I went to Walmart tonight. Lots of empty shelves... But they didn't have a shortage of these little pies... They come in a few different varieties definitely the best thing you could ever spend .50 on... :) 20200316_202045.jpg 20200316_192141.jpg 20200316_192408.jpg
