    My wife think the virus was man made in China to attack the overpopulated elderly that use a lot of money and infrastructure. She says she finds it interesting that viruses and pandemics like this seem to only attack a certain generation or age bracket. She thinks if a virus was potentially harmful enough it would just effect everybody, not just the elderly. And I gotta agree. If this virus was dangerous we'd all be dying but we aren't, only old people and the fact of the matter and truth is, Boomers need to perish for the rest of us to bloom.

    No I went to the markets. An outdoor thing. Not a supermarket.

    Still haven't died btw.

    The grocery store was weird today. Big lines even early in the morning. Went again to a different one in the afternoon and the lines were even worse, but I paid at the deli counter instead of waiting. I only wanted a snack, so I bought what was there - chips and guacamole.

    I'm thinking about a pneumococcal vaccine. Aren't the deaths from pneumonia?

    People quarantined for 3 weeks showing no symptoms though have been diagnosed with coronavirus starting to believe maybe they've been lied to.

    This is important because now the medical industry is manipulating your lifestyle into this forced agenda. And the people are starting to wake up to it too. :)

    The people I encountered today were undeterred; which was unsettling considering the level of contagiousness. There were two grown men hugging and slapping five... I ordinarily would encourage that but not under the circumstances.

    I think that people are really sick. Also, it's not to the benefit of the economy to keep us quarantined because people won't spend as much. Unless you count the grocery store... holy cow! The lines are incredulous.

    I don't suspect a hidden agenda personally.

    Those with a strong immune system beat the virus, and younger people generally have stronger immune systems. So naturally older people are more at risk.

    Interestingly, the Spanish Flu of 1918 tended to kill the healthiest people, it made your immune system overreact to the point where it was actually your immune system that killed you. Thus younger people were the ones more at risk.

    Someone is making money out of this though we just don't know who yet but someone always makes money. 65 million Boomers die, all of a sudden the property market is wide open, students and families moving into their own homes for the first time, rent will be cheap to accommodate people.

    The pneumococcal vaccine protects against one bacteria which causes pneumonia, not the condition itself.

    My mom scored some tp today. Got a text from her that read "I found toilet paper!!!"

    This is the new normal.

    She also told me security guards were there to prevent rioting and stuff. 1920 > 2020

    There was a teleconference with the president of our company today. The message boiled down to wash your hands, don't come in if you feel sick and...I guess that was it. Do what we should be doing all along really. No issues for me personally yet. Other than my retirement accounts. :(
     
  16. Shit's getting real here in Ballarat.
    Local umpire training has been suspended due to this virus.
    All of us will have individual training plans.

    Won't know if actual games will be interrupted during the year.

    China: ‘Patient zero’ may be US soldier

    China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Lijian Zhao has suggested the deadly coronavirus could have originated in the US and slammed the country for blaming China for the disease spread.

    yea... I just found this https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/article240916181.html whoa... same article! :)

    It says that:

    The question was whether or not a pneumonia vaccine would protect against death from covid 19. She said no because it's a different kind of pneumonia...
    and
