    Pentagon is already cranking on it. Rest of America has like 20 airports with quarantine open. 14 days, in you go.

    I caught a video leaking from china where 8 died in 5 minutes and were shoveled onto a bus that runs the stacks of dead straight to the crematorium in Wuhan where 30 gallon trash cans of ashes are landfilled. No names, records nothing. No funerals or burials either. Possibly shooting outside pets etc. Who knows.

    The problem with these things getting out of china is the sources themselves are taken off line. Its crazy. So who the hell knows whats going on over there.

    CDC is going crazy here in the States. Arkansas has already spooling up on a case or three. Nothing confirmed yet. But ordinary flu has got thousands of children sick and schools closed this week all over espeically ours. I think they have like 10 buildings to spray bleach in over two days.

    Ive had a good run in life, Im not bothered too much about the big bad killer flu. I just got over one actually. Toss me into the oven and a potters field. No biggie. However when I look at people left behind and things still to do I would be sorry to be gone. But not just yet.

    If I was sick and landed in one of the hospitals that bad I would say four words to the attending. "Get me pallitive sedation" and keep it going until either life or death after the course of medicines if possible. If the hospital is bad off then FEMA has camps to ship people to and store in until they get better. (Or not...) There are 5 in Arkansas that I know of. Three up by the french river which is pretty out of the way.

    I can only go by the stories of spanish flu from WW1 handed down through the family. It was about 15 years before they started raising a family after that one.

    IPA for me, and only 1 at a time.

    Some of that stuff is rather strong tasting.


    The strongest beer in a list I found was 135 proof. Aptly called Venom. Next one down is 130 proof named Armageddon.

    I have dabbled in beer a little. But I find that you needed to drink too much Beer to get the same effect as a little bit of whiskey or some such quality drink.

    I don't dislike beer, its fine and dandy to use a old saying, but I do not make a habit of drinking it. Part of that goes probably back to a time where you could get beer. Now a days it's a wonder of this beer that beer or over yonder beer etc. lol.

    Enjoy.

    Ran into this Video. Its in chinese but the hooting and hollaring is self explainatory.

    They are essentially either nailing, welding or barring doors shut so houses cannot be left by those trapped inside and teams go out to grab people to throw into quarintine.

    This one did not go that easy. In America a needle with haldol would solve that fast enough. However, the homeowner made it really difficult to be shipped out.
