RE: What is the Covid19 CFR rate? + updates + Iran videos
Yes, I one hundred percent agree, about censors being the cause of panic - they create a "sudden shock" which means that people lose it all at once, instead of slowly come to an understanding and are given time to prepare. Also, about what you said about time to stop shaking hands - that has come alright. Also I am making planes to get out to the county. Even further - although my house-bus now has engine problems. But I have other plans would are going to start getting into action. I always said to myself - I would wait until 100 causes confirmed, but I am coming to the opinion, that when they finally ever confirm that - there will likely already be an exponential growth and hundreds of thousands of unknown cases. There is just no trust now in any institutions - plan flights still open here in new Zealand with Iran, and Italy - both in the midst of one-in a hundred year epidemics.
I also have made arrangements to relocate out of the madding crowd. I also have done what I can to ensure my rent is paid during the coming lack of work I face. The work I do cannot be done in PPE, so during an epidemic in which aerosolized virii can be transmitted at ten meters distance, working will ensure contracting the virus, and the current statistics reveal that were I to get it, I would have a ~60% chance of ending up in the ICU, and that would give me a ~50% chance of living.
Those are pretty bad odds, and I'll seek better odds. However, I have long felt government has been preparing to transition to a world order that better suits folks that consider themselves El-ites, and I note that FEMA camps have been surreptitiously prepared all along the West Coast of the USA since early January under the cover of Emergency Homeless Housing - which remain unoccupied despite plenty of homeless yet living on the streets.
It appears to me that those camps will actually be used to quarantine infected civilians (perhaps including the homeless), where, once completely dependent on FEMA for life and liberty, those hapless civilians will be deprived of both. I intend not to be interned in such a camp, and that will require more than simply being highly visible outside of outbreak clusters. It will require cryptic self-sufficiency, and that is far more challenging than merely preparing to not get infected. Cryptically growing food is a challenge many have never considered.
I am beginning to do it. I dunno what NZ has instead of FEMA, but I bet it will soon become apparent it is doing the same thing the US regional and federal governments have been, and you may prefer to not be locatable in your truck. Continuing to communicate to we followers will be especially challenging under such circumstances, and I do not recommend you undertake the risk of so doing. Do what you reckon is best under the circumstances you expect to eventuate.
I bid you great success in that, and all your future endeavors.
Thanks!
