Something doesn’t sound right. I’m getting loads no more than an hour after the previous consignee. We do a lot in that area as well. You should follow up with your company and see what’s up.

Read Word for Word what I wrote. I didn’t say most deadly I said most contagious and aggressive. And it is. They have a case in Italy of a town that 70% of the people were infected despite being completely isolated for the last six weeks. They don’t even know how they became infected. There’s apartment complexes and hotel complex is where every single person in the hotel contracted the virus through the air ventilation and plumbing systems. Aggressive and contagious doesn’t necessarily equal deadly.

Yep. They don't want the plumbing thing to get out while they have the masses quarantined in massive apartment complexes in urban cities. Meanwhile just go to the grocery store because it's safe there. Now a zoo tiger has it. Heard on the radio I should think twice before I let my dog lick me. F THIS! Spend a couple weeks stocking the hospitals up. Then it's time to get to work. This, or any country for that matter has ever beat anything by sitting at home and waiting for permission to go outside. I'm not sure it matters what the death rate or number of infections are as disgusting as that sounds. This country has to go back to work in short order. It's what keeps free people free.
Since 9/11 it has been one crisis after another. Some idiot terrorist in France tries to blow up a plane with a shoe bomb and we have to scuffle around airports in socks. Create a Department of Homeland Security and spend billions while losing rights. Where were they in January when I even knew China had a problem. We got lucky with SARS. Maybe the civilized world should spend a few bucks keeping this from happening again instead of taxing the bejesus out of us then telling us to stay inside.
Infuriating. I think the tiger infection sent me over the edge. Lol. Sorry for the long post.

Be best to walk away , ain't no shame . Your right you are paying to say your a boss . You'll get back up just consider it a life lesson.

They never said that you were a boss

They just said that you could drive like one.

It's like me going down to the local Enterprise car rental, and paying 100 a day to drive around in a big Escalade, except not quite as comfortable.

I go back to the stories of spanish flu after a great war 1918 and beyond. That flu took 3 years to sweep the world in three waves. The second was the killer. I actually caught spanish flu (H1n1) this year in Jan. Took 3 weeks to five weeks before full power. Day four was really important when the virus attacked the brain. I had tamiflu a antiviral double dose that day. Something that did not exist in the original spanish flu. I was also very infectious for about 3 weeks. So my caregiver caught something off me but her defenses from immunization. So after two days she was fine.

I did visit two doctors who implimented infectious patient rules for their offices. Little did anyone know then that I was going to be the first of what has become normal if the doctors are still open this year. I am down to two, one of which has a appt in May. If I see him? Great. If not? I am on my own. Bottoms up. And we go from there.

I watched China collaspe as a functioning state from Dec 15 to Jan 30 The Internet was critical as certain persons sacrificed to get information out to the free world what is going on and were disappeared after. Enough got out combined with NASA and other resources helping to see what is happening there. In the mean time airliners continued to shuttle the infection around thousands every hour. By the time they stopped the horse had already escaped in the world. And here we are.

This exposed the weakness and sort of lie that the stratetic and Fema stock pile was, some of it is unusable, expired, defective etc. Exposed our losses in medicine because everything is made in china. When china stopped we all stopped. Exposed other flaws and so on across the board and here we are today what we are doing waiting for the killing to take off. We understand how it kills and what is needed to stop it. The problem is a percentage gets reinfected again.

You cannot stop America. But we just did. You will not get america going again as it was before ever. We will become something else. Looting, crime and so on has begun already. Military callups have gone out not only for medical support etc but also social discipline. There is about a million pending. There will be order. Not necessarily law. Not the laws we used to enjoy. But rather Occupation Laws.

One hopes this is over by 1 June. But we are not there yet. The killing is accelerating and its a dangerous time. Forget the economics.

Trucking will turn out to be a most vital cornerstone of the USA> You stop the trucks then you stop America. Thats going to create much bigger problems. FAST. Possibly those who hold CDL's on Tier Two will be called up to haul dead bodies around USA to crematories not yet running into the night. (Check your Tier Two CDL's and understand that you are to do that under that tier when called up) And possibly those like me who have held CDL's but run car licensing will be issued a truck and told mush. Because we would have by then lost enough truckers to threaten America.

The Government will continue. The military will continue. Its called Continuity of Governmnet under plans 3400, 3500 and 3600 under Northcomm Command which is running the battle currently raging medically here. Lets hope thats where it stays. And that falls on us in our families and children to try and do our best. We will see a lot of losses and killing. But when this is over there is a oppertunity that this Nation will roar back in a BIG way and make pernament changes to make everything here at home as we once did before in our 230 year history.

But trucking? Thats the cornerstone right now. Don't stop the trucks and be prepared if under tier two to be told to run a truck to run dead bodies to crematoriums into the night around the USA. We are going to burn quite a few of them. We have to.

Eventually we will have vaccines, anti gens, anti bodies from plasma off survivors and so on and our bodies will learn to chuck this off like anything else such as Polio etc. Eventually. Maybe 7 months maybe 18. We already have everything we know now. The problems is rules and regulations. If the killing gets horrific they might toss that and start sticking everyone.

Valley Forge USA When Geo Washington was facing a total destruction of his Army by Spring raging against Typus and espeically Smallpox they started vaccinating those who were not sick right there by the camp fires in camp army wide by taking pus of the sick and jabbing into arms of the healthy. We lost 20% immediately but the rest of the healthy took it as immunity and became able to take care of the sick and continue to learn Drill. That drill exists to this day in some form when we train our modern military recruits with weapons. It was also the first human use of vaccination against a horrible medical enemy in the modern world.

Don;t worry. We will still be America in my house. And we will get through this dead or alive. We are not gauranteed tomorrow. Some of us never get any more tomorrows. So live today. Its all you get. Until tomorrow.

Germ theory wasn’t discovered until the 1860s, so I doubt a hundred years earlier they would have done such a thing. Blood-letting, maybe. But I stand to be corrected if I’m wrong.

You only get in the media if your prediction is more dramatic and frightening than the prediction they published yesterday. Someone somewhere has predicted exactly what will happen you just nerd to sort through the 7 billion guesses.

We won't know until after it arrives wjo had the correct wild guess. Then that guy will be famous and he'll be wrong about what happens after that.
