I don't really care about who what when where how

but a multiple month shutdown is gonna do a ton of harm

many people are gonna run out of money and will become desperate

Unless food and lodging is free, the country will not function on shutdown with 1200 dollars to tide them over...just won't work sadly

the population density and overall unpreparedness of this populace is quite a potential ticking time bomb if you think about it



Such a shame this is even thought about in Political terms or repercussions IMO
Agreed. I'm with bernie on this. It should be 2k a month per person until the crisis is done

But both sides ride now are trying to funnel money to their donors

the bailout to individuals needs to be huge to sustain this lockdown
or the Show must go on and the wheels of economy need to continue before we lose half the businesses we are accustomed to

I side with the latter but that is just me

Not an easy decision considering the info we have now

I hope the decision makers are working with information above our pay grade(I suspect they are using a different data set)


Honestly 2K a month might not cut it for some

to help ensure the availability of the greatest possible number of devices for this purpose, ... FDA does not intend to object to limited modifications to indications, claims, functionality, or to the hardware, software, or materials of FDA-cleared devices used to support patients with respiratory failure or respiratory insufficiency, without prior submission of a premarket notification” for the duration of the declared national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic.



FDA giving a blessing for vent mods to manage more than one patient.

Not to make light of her mental health or her families lose by that is a gorgeous woman and a big lose to the gene pool.
chalk that one up to MSM IMO

"lockdown" is not a healthy concept for many human minds

possibly a drug problem going on there, but my point stands with or without that variable

New update on the disinfo front:

Beware of rumors related to stimulus kickbacks and impending martial law. Both have circulated in an attempt to stoke state distrust and possibly fuel panic buying in the prepper community. Note that this doesn't mean both outcomes aren't possible, but that neither are currently supported by evidence.

Be sure to check all forwards and memes purporting insider knowledge. Also beware of spurious claims from Democratic and Republican lawmakers and some media analysts. You can use a fact checking service of your choice though I'm biased toward this one because I'm connected to it.

And in quarantine, I think they'll only get fatter. Binge eating the supplies out of stress.
Your post gives me new insight and I now completely understand the toilet paper hoarding. I am going to publicly apologize to the forum for my insensitive posts and jokes about people buying up a 10 year supply of toilet paper. Looks like the fatties, with their quarantine binge eating comfort foods, most likely only have a few weeks of toilet paper.
