Chainfire's JournalI feel so much safer now that I know Pence has this.
I listened to about 20 minutes of the dog and pony show until I just could not stand it any more.
Is the only job of the Vice President to sing the praises of his master? I worked for a while in state government, so I have seen a lot of bootlickers, but Pence takes the prize, that bastard is the biggest bootlicker I have ever seen publicly or privately.
I am comforted that 65,000 (or what ever the number was) people a year die of the regular flu and that we only have one serious case of Coronavirus. The implication was that if a person dies of a flue-like illness in the future, all you have to do is skip the expensive test, and he died of seasonal flu; problem solved, pandemic ended.
The Don says he has this so, based on his judgement, honesty and forthrightness I believe him.
It is so hard for me to accept this Alice in Wonderland existence we are living through today.
How do you prepare for a pandemic?
I am a person who has always tried plan ahead.
I live in a hurricane prone area. At the beginning of the hurricane season, I lay in a couple of weeks of food supplies. I keep one of my two vehicles full of gasoline all the time. I keep a couple of thousand bucks in cash in the safe. I make sure that there are no missiles laying around the yard. I tend to weak trees. I built my house, well inland, well above the flood plane, to stand up to hurricane force winds and I built a strong room in the center of the house for additional safety. I have experience with storms and know what to do to stay safe. When a storm starts forming I keep a close eye on the weather reports in order to make a decision as to whether to stay or go. Sometimes, regardless of how prepared you are, it is just time to go.....
Now the national rhetoric is rapidly changing about the coronavirus and the WHO and the NIH has made it fairly clear that the virus is indeed coming to a town or city near you. The wizards in the stock markets have bet on it.... If you see a pandemic coming, there is no where to evacuate to, there is no way to reinforce my home against it, and it is very liable to outlast food supplies. I live in a economically depressed area where health care is very thin, health insurance is not the norm and people only go to doctors when they are in crisis; meaning that if it comes here, it will likely explode in the local population.
If I were young and very healthy I may not be very concerned. My wife and I are definitely not young. How do you rationally prepare for a pandemic?
