Title: Coronavirus - Are you scared of it or not fearful?
Post by: borsen8 on February 23, 2020, 12:12:04 AM
You can wash your hands for 20 seconds, scrubbing vigorously, before having any food or touching your face or after coming inside.

If the Chinese people, who live worse than pigs and pandas, did this, there would be no epidemic

It's carried through air mostly... Just breathing and coughing spreads it

Original spread was unhygenic food markets with live animals.

This is how most pandemics have been started through history. Namely "zoonotic" viruses. Started through unnatural and unhygenic interaction between animals and humans. That's why they today only start and spread the most third world.

Swine flu- Pigs
Bird flu- Birds
Spanish flu- Rats
Sars- Bats

Even HIV is a zoonotic virus.. Started with bushmeat in Africa. Eating monkeys.

Indians have prolly the toughest immune systems out there. Their hygiene and sanitation standards are on par with Africa.
They cook with cow poo and drink cow piss in villages thinking it's healthy lmao.

But unlike the Africans and Chinese they don't eat bovine or pig meat, neither do they eat gamey or exotic animals like their degenerate cousins.

The Ebola virus apparently came from tainted monkey meat in Africa.

And the Covid19 virus seems to have come from the pangolin and not a bat.

Quote
Nucleic acid sequences of viruses taken from pangolins have been found to be a 99% match to those of the the virus that causes COVID-19, SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and is responsible for the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak.[59][60] The working theory of researchers in Guangzhou, China is that SARS-CoV-2 originated in bats and, prior to infecting humans, was circulating among pangolins. The illicit Chinese trade of pangolins for use in traditional Chinese medicine is suggested as a vector for human transmission.

It's safe to say that the Chinese are the absolute worst offenders of eating and using exotic animals for making their snake oil medicine.

The world is now paying a very heavy price.

Not sure where you got your info from, but indians eat plenty of pork and mutton and indian muslims eat plenty of bovine. The part apart exotic meats is largely true, but they have a class of people (dalits) who who do eat nasty shit like rats.

Their immune systems may well be robust, but I'd guess that the amount of spices they eat could be factor. They have long been known to have immune boosting qualities

Not yet, no. Only like 2,300 people have died from it so far. I am keeping an eye on it though.

And the overwhelming majority were on deaths door step to begin with. In Italy the average age of victims is 81. There are a lot more 40 and 50-year-olds that there are 110 and 120-year-olds. That said, I’d bet that the median age is closer to 85.

I did a little research on the nursing home in Seattle were there were many victims. I didn’t read about a single worker dying  just residents and they weren’t in a nursing home for nothing.

What does concern me is the panic created by the government and the media.

Yep.

Witb 2B people,.they know their food quality isn't the greatest and littered with bacteria. They cook the living shit out of the meat and add the spices to also burn bacteria off.

That's why we have tv shows where a UK person goes and eats the street food without getting sick. Meanwhile go to asia and people get bali belly. The food is prepared very differently with two different results.

I practice social distancing. I'm hygenic and sanitary. I'm definitely avoiding everyone and not going out except for essentials like groceries and outdoor cardio (since la gym is closed).

Yet I'm not afraid to go through a drive thru. I have no problem going to a park. I browse Canadian Tire without being fearful. I avoid others in the narrow isles for their sake; not for mine.

I'm doing the right thing. Yet everybody is shaming everybody for everything.

If you're susceptible to this virus than stay the fuck in. There are services to help get you essentials. I am not susceptible. I'm a healthy male in his 40's with no existing illnesses. So stop fucking shaming me for doing what is asked.

I know how this plays out. To justify these interventions, they’re going to have to artificially bump up the victim numbers to the point where somebody gets hit by a truck and turns out to have a positive corona test is said to have died of corona.

There’s too much debt in the system and it can’t be serviced. The only way to get rid of it is to inflate the currency. That’s what you’re seeing now. Liberty posted this link earlier. It was to show how bad things are in Italy because of Corona, but if you scan down you see the real reason for the panic.

Italy is going to issue bonds which the ECB is going to buy with money they print out of thin air. It’s not something that people who don’t have a business and economics background would pick up on.



If you read the whole story, you’ll discover what this really is about:


“Italy’s failure to reduce its huge debt of 134% of gross domestic product would normally have drawn a rebuke from the EU executive, but von der Leyen said there were now other priorities.

“The Italian government will be able to put as much money into the economy as needed. Normal budget rules, debt rules for example, will not be applied at this stage,” she said.”

Trump has invoked the Defence Production Act ,a federal law that was enacted in 1950,under the Truman adminisration,  in response to the start of the Korean War.


Pub. L. 81-774
AN ACT To establish a system of priorities and allocations for materials and facilities, authorize the requisitioning thereof, provide financial assistance for expansion of productive capacity and supply, provide for price and wage stabilization, provide for the settlement of. labor disputes, strengthen controls over credit, and by these measures facilitate the production of goods and services necessary for the national security, and for other purposes



The Act contains three major sections:

The first authorizes the President to require businesses to sign contracts or fulfill orders deemed necessary for national defense. It also allows the president to designate materials to be prohibited from hoarding or price-gouging.

 The second section authorizes the President to establish mechanisms (such as regulations, orders or agencies) to allocate materials, services and facilities to promote national defense.

The third section authorizes the President to control the civilian economy so that scarce and/or critical materials necessary to the national defense effort are available for defense needs.

The Act also authorizes the President to requisition property, force industry to expand production and the supply of basic resources, impose wage and price controls, settle labor disputes, control consumer and real estate credit, establish contractual priorities, and allocate raw materials towards national defense.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Production_Act_of_1950 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Production_Act_of_1950)




I suspect we for all intents and purposes we are seeing the beginning of the new Cold War  and if that is the case ,we will be seeing civlian resources diverted to the US military industrial complex.

The historical precedent for this:



" When North Korea invaded South Korea on June 25, 1950, President Harry S. Truman attempted to use the NSRB(National Security Resources Board) as the nation's mobilization agency. Truman quadrupled the defense budget to $50 billion, and the NSRB placed controls on prices, wages and raw materials. Inflation soared and shortages in food, consumer goods and housing appeared. By October 1950, inflation had abated and shortages were easing.

The intervention of China in the Korean War unraveled the administration's mobilization effort.
A panicked public began hoarding and the administration accelerated its rearmament plans. Inflation jumped from 1.3 percent to 7.9 percent.

…………......……..


.........President Truman declared a national emergency on December 16, 1950. Using the powers granted to him by the Defense Production Act (which had been enacted only in September 1950), Truman created the Office of Defense Mobilization (ODM).

……………….

Charles E. Wilson, president of General Electric and a government mobilization chief in World War II, the head of the ODM took control of the economy. All raw materials were under the control of ODM, which rationed them to the civilian economy. Production quotas were set, and businesses ordered to supply the government with goods and services. Companies which failed to meet their production quotas were threatened with seizure by ODM. Companies found to be secretly diverting raw materials to civilian uses were severely punished through the withdrawal of lucrative government contracts, fines, and the imposition of government supervisors on-site at the workplace.

Defense plants, concentrated at the time near existing manufacturing centers and where electrical power was plentiful, were dispersed across the Southeast and Deep South. The government restricted investment in new plant equipment so that only investments meeting national security needs were made. Additionally, ODM invested millions of dollars in new plant and equipment to rapidly expand production capacity. Strict price controls were placed on all goods and services, and wages were subject to federal government approval and control. Black marketeers were severely punished with fines and jail sentences.

………………….

In August 1951, additional controls were placed on the economy. Any manufacturer seeking raw materials had to first obtain a permit from ODM before purchasing such materials. ODM also began to control the use of steel for building and automobile production, even significantly restricting the building of public schools to divert additional steel to national defense needs."

Ok granted.. but if all countries central banks inflate the currency at the same rate the net effect is Nil... no?

Inflation goes up, so prices go up, and your cash savings lose value more rapidly especially with such a low interest rate.

The aim is to encourage people to spend and invest instead of holding on to cash.

There are different views in economics on this, but this is one approach.

I practice social distancing. I'm hygenic and sanitary. I'm definitely avoiding everyone and not going out except for essentials like groceries and outdoor cardio (since la gym is closed).

Yet I'm not afraid to go through a drive thru. I have no problem going to a park. I browse Canadian Tire without being fearful. I avoid others in the narrow isles for their sake; not for mine.

I'm doing the right thing. Yet everybody is shaming everybody for everything.

If you're susceptible to this virus than stay the fuck in. There are services to help get you essentials. I am not susceptible. I'm a healthy male in his 40's with no existing illnesses. So stop fucking shaming me for doing what is asked.

The people that could die of it are the ones that need to stay the fuck in. Not the rest of the world.

Blast me. See if I give a fuck.

I'm not sure why people would be shaming you. It seems you are doing everything that's been suggested in order to stay safe and help keep other's safe should you be contagious and not symptomatic.

The main reason people who are most likely to become seriously ill and require hospitalization should the catch the virus should do everything possible to avoid contact with other folks for the time being. I say this not because they could die, but because they could add to hospital overcrowding and shortages of safety equipment. If the only issue was risking death, that's a personal decision one should be allowed to make. Unfortunately, it is unlikely their willingness to take this risk wouldn't have a negative or even deadly effect on other folks.

The gym I go to was still maintaining it's normal hours the last time I checked. However, I'm not going there for now. It is selfish of me to risk passing the virus to others in my house should I become infected just for the sake of staying fit or not losing momentum with my workouts. Anytime we go anywhere where we are likely to have some contact with people or the surfaces people touch, we are increasing our own chance of catching the virus and passing it on to others.

We all take a haircut on our money. Your $10 bill becomes 9 or 8.50. It still says 10 but you can buy 10-15% less with it. It’s essentially a back door form of taxation. Instead of taking your money via taxation they make the money you have worth less.

The same thing is happening here. Where do you think the government is going to get that $2 trillion for the stimulus?

There’s too much debt in the system and it can’t be serviced. The only way to get rid of it is to inflate the currency. That’s what you’re seeing now. Liberty posted this link earlier. It was to show how bad things are in Italy because of Corona, but if you scan down you see the real reason for the panic.

Italy is going to issue bonds which the ECB is going to buy with money they print out of thin air. It’s not something that people who don’t have a business and economics background would pick up on.




All money is printed out of thin air and interest rates are essentially pulled out of thin air.

What do you mean by there being too much debt in the system that can't be serviced? As far as America goes, debt was basically keeping the economy afloat.  One of the things that was reportedly destabilizing the economy before the fed dropped interest rates to 0 was people attempting to pay off debt.

The amount of debt is going to skyrocket in the coming weeks.

Starbucks to have 6,000 stores in China by 2022

0 Comment(s)Print E-mail Xinhua, March 16, 2020

Starbucks has announced it would invest approximately 130 million U.S. dollars in China, aiming to have 6,000 stores in the country by 2022.

The investment will be applied for opening a state-of-the-art roasting facility in 2022 as part of its new Coffee Innovation Park (CIP), highlighting the company's ambition to further globalize its roasting network and reinforcing its strategic focus on the United States and China as its two lead growth markets, the company said in a press release.

As Starbucks' largest manufacturing investment outside of the United States and its first in Asia, the CIP will incorporate a roasting plant, warehouse and distribution center, creating jobs and new career opportunities that will further drive coffee manufacturing in China and lay a strong foundation for continued business growth and development in China, according to the company.

At first, I bought into it like everybody else but when I started to see the responses which were so irrational considering the scope of the problem, I started to smell a rat and eventually I figured out what this is really about, an economic reset and global currency devaluation:

I know how this plays out. To justify these interventions, they’re going to have to artificially bump up the victim numbers to the point where somebody gets hit by a truck and turns out to have a positive corona test is said to have died of corona.

If I catch the virus  and recover with immunity built in, I'll be shifting my attention more to helping others through it, even if that means stacking shelves or just delivering food.

1.5T i believe is for Q2 only which is 9% of GDP. Still Q3 and Q4 to cover which i would expect will be significantly larger.

US M3 is somewhere around 15.5T so it's approx 10% currency inflation first round

Last decade averaged annual currency printing around 5%.

1970s and 1980s the average was 15%.

But the concern is not just about the death rate,  it's about the transmission rate, the hospitalization rate and unknowns about immunity. Covid 19 can incubate for more than 2 weeks, while most flu strains incubate for about 3 days. That makes it a lot more contagious.  That's why we keep hearing those astronomical numbers  about how basically everyone  in the world is going to get infected. The thing is, even if the death rate is low, if the infection rate is high enough, it's still a whole lot of deaths. And even if someone doesn't die from covid, if they have a serious case, they are taking up hospital resources. And the more cases a hospital has to deal with, the more susceptible the staff becomes.

Al serious question, whats better saving lives in the short term or creating more deaths via the economic fallout?

This is a mess no matter how you look at it.

I get why we want/need to slow this thing down but the reality is this is a freight train with no breaks: every one is going to be infected, we have limited supplies for those infected, we have media/leadership induced panic and fear with no clear, or even truthful, answers, and we kept hearing about a new celebrity/athlete/politician testing positive but the death toll keeps climbing while they recover.

It is a mess. I agree with that. I think the reaction of political leaders has been unbelievable- in the sense that 3 months ago, I would never have imagined widespread, international lockdowns would even be considered a possibility. At the same time, I'm not sure what I would do if I was leading. I don't think it's accurate to say that there's nothing to worry about because the death toll hasn't been that extreme (yet) or because it's  disproportionately affecting olds. I think  when people say that, it obscures what the entire picture is. There are a lot of moving parts and the logistics of what COULD happen are sort of a nightmare.

 Elizabeth has been touting a conspiracy theory in several different threads, and on its face, I actually don't think it's that crazy compared to some of the conspiracy theories people have come up with.  I think the major flaw with it is that there's not a realistic upside... there's no reason any economy would choose to reset in this way. Definitely not every economy in the world. There's no getting around the fact that even if this thing only goes on for 3 weeks (which is super-optimistic) ,the economy is going to be worse off for everyone, all the way around.

When I point out that there are legitimate reasons (even though they may not be the best reasons) for this course of action, it isn't so much that I'm trying to defend it, but more that I'm trying to understand it, too. This is a frustrating time for me on a personal level and on a business level. I was working on a few time sensitive projects that are either up in the air or scrapped entirely.  

On a personal level,  I live in NYC, my mother lives in another part of the country. Where she lives, there's far less population density, but none of her kids are there with her. She is in an age group that is more vulnerable and has a pre-existing medical condition.  I keep thinking to myself "What is the best option?" On one hand, I wish she was with one of us, but all of her kids live in large cities. We probably don't have much to worry about, but she'd be more at risk  in a place that is a covid hotspot. I could  go there, but on the same hand,if I'm carrying the virus or pick it up on my way there, that could be creating unnecessary risk for her.  So, yeah, I see both sides of it. I  can't believe that gov is basically trying to shut the economy down for an undisclosed period of time, but I also understand that there are a  lot of unknowns and I don't think taking precautions is completely baseless.

Why are all the commodities (which represent real value, lets leave out gold for now) been crushed down to zero if all of this is inflationary ?

Why is the dollar the strongest currency around right now if this is so inflationary ?

Why are US government bonds down to zero and people actually buying them if it's all so inflationary ?

I'm not trying to be a pain here.. but something's not adding up


Why are all the commodities (which represent real value, lets leave out gold for now) been crushed down to zero if all of this is inflationary ?

Why is the dollar the strongest currency around right now if this is so inflationary ?

Why are US government bonds down to zero and people actually buying them if it's all so inflationary ?





Oil is going down because of a lack of demand. The Chinese economy is in deep shit. The rest of the world is headed for recession.  Russia and Saudi Arabia the China’s  two biggest suppliers are in a price war to maintain their market shares.


Regarding inflation, you make the mistake a lot of people make as you assume it’s always going to be prices going up. It also could be the prices don’t go down as much as they would’ve had there not been money printing. For example, after the 2008 housing crash a $500,000 house might’ve gone down to 200,000 but with money printing it ended up only going down to $300,000. In Nominal terms, the price went down but in real terms it’s inflated.

No demand for things made with commodities.

The U.S. dollar is seen as safe.  Call it a flight to safety.

Why are US government bonds down to zero and people actually buying them if it's all so inflationary ?

Fed reduced interest rates to make borrowing less expensive and is pumping money in the banking system to stimulate the economy.

Since no one has antibodies yet because it's new, most will get it eventually. But with no mutations of the virus yet, once you get it you're immune so if I'm going to get it, I'd rather get it now, have the flu for a bit and be immune, laughing at all the panic as I can go anywhere, healthy and unafraid like all the other healthy people that have gotten it, like Rudy Gobert who shut the NBA down and is doing just fine(except for a bullshit account that he lost his sense of smell which is normal with a stuffy nose). You'll be just fine with it unless you're in the 3% of the population, mostly very old people, that have permanently compromised immune systems and the seasonal flu kills them too. Terror is a tactic used by the media to create panic(and ratings). Note how they love to say deaths, but rarely focus on who is actually dying. No reports of young, healthy people deathly ill, struggling to breathe because there are none.
