Coronavirus

Mein Gott in himmel, ist das eine tatsache? I must confess to being impressed. I'll order the very same tinfoil hat as Fraulien Braun, but without the swastika emblazoned on it if you please.....seig heil!

 

You call that lavish??... Excuse me I'm off to crack open another Jeroboam of Dom Perignon you pauper..

What!! You never told me that before I placed my order.

 

With or without the gold embossed initials? Scented or non-scented toilet paper?

I am but a poor peddler of tinfoil hats. I know not of lavish lifestyles except that what I read. I live like a monk alongside the factory floor to ensure that my customers get my products as low-cost, as possible.

Too late, they have been shipped. Caveat emptor.

 

Ha*ha!.....For the last 2,500 years that's just the way it is.

 

Italy is indeed now in second place behind China in Covid-19 fatalities. One explanation has been that it turns out that Italy has the oldest population in Europe. A lot of the deaths have been people in the 80-90 years old range. No one is saying that Covid-19 is not as serious as other flu's. It will kill people, too. Is it worthy of the panic being stoked and the suffering (economic, e.g.) said panic will bring?

 

According to stats issued by the Chinese government, the average age of deaths from the Corona virus has been 81. This of course could change but is a pretty good indicator.
There has only been 1 death so far from Covid-19 in Canada. The man was 81 living in a nursing home, and had other medical issues as well.

 

There are specific things in play in the U.S. that are causing Trump to do what he is doing. The fake news and the Swamp are viewing this as perhaps their last best chance to bring down Trump before he is re-elected. They were successful in 2005 in pinning the Hurricane Katrina crisis on George W. Bush even though the reality was that the clear and documented incompetence of the mayor of New Orleans and the governor of Louisiana (both Democrats) were the real problem. The fake news/swamp have been hoping since Covid-19 was first discovered that they could pull this off using the same playbook. Trump, who is as skilled a PR person as any politician I have seen, realized this quickly and has been trying to stay ahead of it with actions for the public to consume.

It's an election year in a very polarized time. The Fake News/Swamp are getting really desperate with their age-addled candidate. I don't see this getting better any time soon. Over 18,000 Americans have died from the generic flu to date this season. So far, there are 39 deaths from Covid-19 in the U.S. And, it is always described as a "mild flu" for all but the elderly with underlying health conditions. Crazy times.

 

A journalist from the internal of The New York Times who pays close attention to Falun Dafa revealed, Epoch Times's principal Tang Zhong was suspected to be infected by Covid-19 because he had a close contact with a young female acting staff of Shen Yun who performed in South Korea. More than 20 practitioners who have close contact with Tang have been isolated in a building in the Dragon Springs on the outskirts of New York.
There have been media reports that the Dragon Spring has purchased a lot of ventilators and medicine secretly. Many infectors in the Dragon Spring have been dead. Li Hongzhi ordered the news to be blocked and the dead bodies have been handled secretely. Li Hongzhi, the man in charge of Falun Dafa lives in the Dragon Spring, so there is very strict security and covert activities so that anyone are not allowed to enter except the practitioners. Now, the reports of Falun Dafa's infection of Covid-19 has not been verified by US authorities.

 

There is more interesting data coming out of China. They have evidence that the 3 most at risk groups as to reacting adversely to this Covid-19 virus are old people, obese people, and smokers. So if you are a fat old smoker, then like the potatoes on @jrbiz's tinfoil hats, you are pretty much baked.

 

I have seen many many deer trails in the forests as well as many human trails almost everywhere.

However, making human trails for vaccines is something totally new. Will vaccines walk or ride on these trails? And will we see some of these new-fangled trails here in America? If so, I would like a tin-foil scooter so I can ride down those trails myself.

 

Trials.......This is what happens when I post from my phone while not wearing my reading glasses.

 

Where did you read about smokers? Can you please provide a link to it?

 

During the past few weeks, all eCommerce scape is changing dramatically!
We can see that many businesses had to stop their work or even permanently closed. But how serious all this buzz? One of the things I do is a curation of the newsletter for Amazon sellers (fbamonthly.com), and last weeks 90% of all Amazon news is only about coronavirus! I'm OK with it, but as I see most of it just a copy of the same articles with clickbait titles! It looks like all trying to spread the news even if it's fake or even may become causes of panic! Personally I'm trying to not include to our newsletter any not confirmed news or clickbait articles. I want to ask people to not take all news so emotional...better to wait for a few days and see is it true or not. Don't panic!

 

Just saw this on linkedin:

"In 1665, the University of Cambridge temporarily closed due to the Bubonic Plague. Isaac Newton had to work from home, and he used this time to develop calculus and the theory of gravity."

So, the bar has been set quite high for those who stay home to work right now.

 

That's only because there was no internet back then so he couldn't while away the days watching internet porn, just think if there was internet in those days, how different the world could be today.....

 

It's too late telling people not to panic. For some strange reason this time around the panic has caused people to buy all toilet paper.

But, yes, e-commerce is going to suffer. A large % of shipments come from other countries, people will be afraid to order online for fear of getting infected from the packaging, etc. This episode of the Simpsons comes to mind:

 

We would all be floating around without gravity and my son would be thrilled that he does not have to take calculus in school?
