I think if things are only shut down for a couple of weeks or a month, pretty much everyone should be fine. If it goes longer than that then there will be some big problems.

I’m optimistic about this entire thing, but even a couple weeks will have lasting ripples.

They wanted to hurt a roaring GEOTUS economy, and damned if the crybabies didn’t get their way.

God bless you all, and all your loved ones!

In the mean time Trump would be blamed for mismanagement and a Democrat would take power.

The system will fail in its own time. Letting things fall apart right now would not be helpful.

They're all but rooting for massive death on the left. When that doesn't happen, it's going to be amazing watching the narrative shift. You already kinda can, they're reporting the deaths vs recovered to come up with numbers as high as 50% death, then deaths/population is more like 1.4%. We'll all wake up one day from this nightmare, but I think DJT looks like a BAMF when it's over.

I can’t spend time with my kids because I’m scrambling to find ways to pay bills. My savings will be wiped out over this. Fighting with my wife. Problems in the house now. This will take years to recover for me. My business was effectively closed today.

I live in a city controlled by a liberal who absolutely hates Trump. I work in a casino. They told us we were shutting down for two weeks with pay and I'm grateful and I had a positive outlook. That night when I went home I read the article from the CDC recommending that businesses are recommended to stay closed for 8 weeks. Once I read that my heart dropped and the worry set in. After two weeks, I have no idea what I'm going to do. My company will not continue to pay me for 6 more weeks. I know I can do unemployment, but once we reopen the fucking economy is destroyed. I'll be lucky to have a job when this is over due to people being out of work and broke. This is real life for a lot of us. It's not going to be over for most of us in two months let alone next fall.

There will be at least 8 weeks. Cdc recommending it means a liberal governors and mayor's are going to uphold it . Even if it's 4 weeks it's crippling. My industry is FUCKED for a while.

God sake, relax. The issue right now is how can you get the horses back into the barn.

The Fear of the Unknown always brings out the worst in people but at the same time, we cannot let down our guard at all. This country let its guard down for 30 years, look where its gotten us. Open Border Democrats, Exporting Job Republicans and a bunch of smooth brain 18-25 year olds who think "socialism is great". Had we never let our guard down we'd be laughing and this sub wouldnt exist because there would be no reason for Trump to run. He ran because this country was in trouble, he was the right guy for the job and we need to have more faith that he does what needs to be done.

Now on that hand, everyone should be doing their part to stop the spread of disease be it the common cold or the flu of any strain. How often do we ignore the recommendation of our doctors. How often do we just go "Oh its a cold, I'll go to work" "Oh its only 20 pounds extra weight I'll just do some more exercise and not change diet". Only for that cold that would have taken two days to go away with proper bed rest and preventitive care of seeing a doctor to be a week long ordeal. How about those extra 20 pounds your doctor warned you about only for those to turn into 60 and you're on the road to taking blood pressure medication to prevent a heart attack.

The doctor is correct, immune health is the best health and as a Nation we suck at it. Fear decreases our immunity so now the media has all but seeded the country to get ill over nothing. A small breather be it a bit of respit would help the immunity as well stop the spread, because the damage to our national immunity was done by the media.

Also for those concern pedes...they are right...people should be prepared (more so if you live in areas that have earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes). Also saving and keeping emergency funds on hand. What they say cannot be discounted, we can hate the delivery but don't throw the message out.

In the end this all but proves us all correct, The United States for the ensurement of her people must decouple itself from the world. She must enforce her borders, have a strong economy and be self sufficient. Dependence on the world only allows for manipulation and abuse to go on. This hiccup as it is, proves the MAGA doctrine correct and the only way forward now. The Democrats and the Media just proved its the only way. Its even got lobotomized Liberals questioning as to why China is allowed to manufacture 80% of our medicines and how come we aren't manufacturing them inside the country. Its waking people up to how overly dependent we are on foreign manufacturing. Now if people realize that high taxes chase businesses away that'd be the next great step. However baby steps first.

I agree, maintaining the old world order is no longer a viable option. Decoupling has to happen

MAGA_MEXICAN_CHILI 1 point ago +1 / -0

I always had this suspicious notion that the Left econuts wanted to push the first world out of domestic production. They often used global warming as a means to transform the first world into a service only industry sector. By removing good paying jobs, allowing the economy to be evenly balanced, it would push for more draconian legislation. Stuff like, medicare for all, the yang bucks, ect...anything to keep the down trotten happy until suicide booths could become legal. The left detests urban sprawl, it hates people having worth. This is why male suicide rates are high, women are unhappy and the family has decayed. Its as if our happiness decreased considerably when NAFTA was enacted.

The Soy Generation says they are happy, but you look at them...nothing but lifeless husks. Easily manipulated and programmed to do the bidding of their masters. We know full well that a good well paying job helps put people on the road to self-sufficiency, that is the American Dream. To be self sufficient, to not have to take handouts to get by, but to rely on yourself and others...to pull each other up as a community when the chips get down.

We need to ask ourselves this, had this happen in 1960-1970...would we be in this situation? No the borders would have been buttoned up. The scientist and medical fields would have been given a express directive to beat back this bug. There would be those who would try to make a political name, they would eventually get the ire of the public, but overall Americans would have pulled through. The run on toilet paper, sanitation materials or basics wouldnt be a everyone out for themselves. This China Cold has shown us that we've lost something important. The media and Leftists do not want to recognize this and to their own destruction they can refuse it. However the experience is waking people up. Even in Commiefornia, there's calls to bring domestic production back, that California used to be a major production hub. The leftists here are scared you can sense the fear with what they are doing. The same is probably happening in New York.

That's my biggest concern, the Media hysteria....will eventually kill us. They need to be brought to heel.

Also at the same time...just as a silver lining this can be a wakeup call that every aspect of American life has decayed so horribly that we couldn't even handle something so small as this. That we need to get back to basics, start putting in plans that work for everyone in times of crisis.

Things this proves so far

  1. Obama royally effed up our medical system to a point we're having issues dealing with a more contagious cold.
  2. We no longer have the luxury or capability to manufacture goods in house to keep vital supplies flowing (drugs, parts ect). Even as we do its at a diminished capacity that we are barely able to keep ourselves afloat, let alone unable to help our allies.
  3. Vulture capitalism and check to check living has made American Families targets of big Government to manipulate. This forces Americans who get sick and need to rest to work while ill in fear of losing their job. Major reason as to why the Trump administration did what it did because they understand this aspect. It needs to change and the only way to do that is to bring back better paying jobs.
  4. the removal of the propaganda shield has allowed media to run wild with stories that 40 years ago would have gotten them in hot water.

These are probably the biggest critical points that were exposed by this ordeal.

Offshoring, private equity firms gutting companies like Romney did, etc.

MAGA_MEXICAN_CHILI 5 points ago +5 / -0

Mitt Romney in a nutshell.

Basically, you get investors to buy a productive company. You push the owner out and any of the upper echelon through payment/retirement/golden parachutes.

The older management is fired but the middle-management is kept. New Mangers are brought in via the investors. These new managers then shadow and force the middle-management and workers to train their HB-1 Visa workers. These visa workers eventually leave the U.S go back to their home country. The workers who trained them are then let go. Anyone whose on the lower rung stays on until they too are let go as their manufacturing is sent to China or India.

The Venture Capitalists (like Mittens) then makes large sums of money as the company is sold off to another company. Tucker Carlson did a investigation: Its called What is destroying rural America? (search title Tucker Investigates: What is destroying rural America?). Pretty much the idea is to strip a company, sell off the assets and export the jobs to Chinese or Indian firms.

There's talk of reparations from China.

We've borrowed a lot of money from them....it'd be a shame if we just blank it out and give them a Paid in Full receipt. 8 Trillion borrowed and we can just scrub all their treasury bonds they hold as repayment. All the while we make ourselves competitive to a point it collapse their economy.

Dont get me wrong, this Wuflu is going to nuke their economy as many countries (US included) will start trying to find ways to push manufacturing out of China to more democratic nations or bring it home.

I wish I was as confident as you but the yield curve inverted before the virus became a known issue and we were due for a correction(though 99.99% of people didn’t see us getting this low this fast and that’s obviously the virus). We’ll see a big jump i’m sure, but we won’t get back to ATH until next year sometime.

Absolutely 100% -- to destroy the Trump presidency and reelection efforts. Otherwise their minions in the MSM would be doing everything they could to support POTUS and the American people.

Every fraud is a Pocahontas at heart.

"An Indian man can be hidden inside a white woman. An Indian woman can be hidden inside a white man. In these rare instances,

everybody is a half-breed struggling to learn more about his or her horse culture. There must be redemption, of course, and sins must be forgiven.

For this, we need children. A white child and an Indian child, gender not important, should express deep affection in a childlike way.

In the Great American Indian novel, when it is finally written, all of the white people will be Indians and all of the Indians will be ghosts."

He is 100% correct about the role of nutrition in immune health. Veggies and good quality meat (salmon and grass fed beef for example) should make up the bulk of your micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) but if not you can use supplements.

Eat RAW honey, yogurt, kefir, DARK chocolate, green tea, olive oil, cinnamon, turmeric and other super foods to increase antioxidants and reduce inflammation and improve your microbiome.

I think Shiva is a fraud. First he claims he invented e-mail, now he's suddenly an immunologist? WTF? I am an immunologist who lives in the Boston area and I would have been aware of him being one as well because I followed his recent campaign (during which he never mentioned being an immunologist).

That said, independently of Shiva, I agree that this Corona scare is blown out of proportion. Isolate the elderly and sick, let everyone else get infected and there will be no more spread because everyone is immune. The Brits are currently doing exactly this. The same happens with the flu every year, yet we don't panic. And while we have a flu vaccine, we don't have a Corona vaccine so there's not much we can do other than that. It's certainly not worth destroying the world economy.
