    Being on the road have not been to grocery store. Look at this Walmart video. Some of the shelves are completely empty.

    50 have died in the US...…..5542 died globally. Since we do not have a vaccine and it will
    likely be a year or more till we do...…………..guessing there could be a lot more deaths.

    Plus unlike the flu. Where you may get it. With the coronavirus, you will get it. Thus even if the same mortality rate. Higher number of deaths worldwide.

    Unless there are more than the 30-75k annual Flu deaths in the US this is #########.

    But don't forget to buy another box of toilet paper because that will save you.

    Im not disputing you, but want to make it clear that what i meant by the part youve quoted is that there are states closing schools who have yet to have a person die, not that there have been none Anywhere at all. It is the same as closing school because the news says snow when no flakes have fallen. A knee jerk reaction to "expert" prediction of how bad it could be.

    I'm not panicing or buying up TP. Just simply pointing out that this, by number of potential infected and similar mortality rates, wirst than the flu. Why? Because everyone says they're the same mortality rates. While this may be true. They're not the same infection rates.

    And btw.. "Disinformation" is todays primary warfare technique, excersized from afar with very little expense yet tremendous results. No bullets, just statements from trusted sources that none of us are able to verify ourselves.

    Global ice age is coming.
    Global warming is coming.
    Acid rain.
    Killer bees.
    The ocean will flood us out.
    No more polar bears

    All these things ive heard my whole life that havent come true. But weve surrendered our industry and transferred our wealth to the saviors who havent managed to reverse any of the pending calamity that still hasnt occured.

    Dead people show up to vote at every single election. Could they not also have died of corona virus, so sayeth the trusted news saviours? I cant measure the earths temp, or the sea level, or verify who really has died from what. But i can create a disinformation campaign to generate hysteria and alter my enemies way of life, destabilize their markets, their economy, disrupt their income streams and get droves more of them onto "assistance" when the toilet paper runs out.

    So i ask you to ask yourselves the question... How many people do YOU know personally that have for sure died from corona? In a few months if the news is saying people all over are getting it and dropping like flies but you know tons of people and havent had to go to any funerals, and they havent either.. Start to feel suspicious.

    Technically global warming will cause global uce age. As ice caps melt the saline content of the oceans drops. Causing the currents to not flow northy/south. Which is what helps heat the temperate zones. Thus causing an ice age till they freeze again and global warming starts again. Ya know a natural cycle. ;)

    Exactly.. Nothing to worry about but lets start a climate exchange and get the world to send money to cure a non issue.

    Here is a pretty sweet corona case website. Somehow with just a .info name and no real idea who manages it or provides funding, they have an incredible ability to simultaneously monitor the remotest, most isolated unconnected 3rd world nooks and crannies of earth to report on virus cases. Without listing a single name. "Just trust us. Even though you have no idea who we even are to check our credibility."
