Coronavirus Pandemic: Apocalypse Now! Or exaggerated scare story?
- Thread starter wanderingthomas
- Start date
This morning I went to the grocery store (early, around 8:00 am). I was curious about what food and supply products were available. Everything was well stocked (except paper products). There were minimal people shopping and everyone was friendly. Sometimes someone would comment about the craziness of the situation. I have opted out of watching television. It is totally overwhelmingly depressing! All they spew is fear, fear, fear.
And still, I know no one who is sick OR has the flu or even a cough. The streets are still quiet here in my neck of Massachusetts.....BUT.....and that it the $64,000 question....what will happen next? I can't even watch TV. The hysteria is so over-the-top scaremongering.
I'm off with my son for a week to stay with my daughter and help out with my grandaughter. School closings have been extended. I enjoy seeing my daughter and grandaughter. Babysitting keeps me young and happy.

The programming is complete
It’s a sight to see but also fills me with a lot of sadness and a twinge of anger to see people that I’ve known for years buy into this, to watch them so easily manipulated and programmed that they’ve changed so drastically. Around here (live in a small rural community) people are being...

I wasn't being patronizing, I was trying to figure out why you insist on claiming that events in Italy are some kind of smoking gun that something special is happening there, despite the fact that I repeatedly offered the explanation that there is nothing special happening there.
Now you claim that I am avoiding your question when I am not, but it seems the problem is that you don't like that answer. Not sure what to tell you.
Mean while in Ireland, can it get any more ridiculous..All for keeping people safe,,Good show lads, good show 
"GARDAÍ HAVE TODAY unveiled a number of cars it has hired to enforce its fleet of vehicles in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak"
"Officers said the force is in the process of hiring up to 210 additional vehicles to provide “additional mobility to our members nationwide to provide increased community support and community engagement across the country”.

Was out for a walk today with an elderly client to the park not far from his house, people were friendly, saying hello when going past, heard 4 people talking in the park saying how ridiculous this is. They didnt have that zombie look,
. Unlike the loonies in the supermarkets 
Gonna catch up on the comments..

Gardaí unveil fleet of hire cars which will be used to help communities during coronavirus outbreak
The vehicles will be used to help vulnerable people in communities to pick up medicaton or attend hospital.

The title of that article, "Coronavirus deaths are so high in Italy that some places have a waiting list for burials and funerals are happening with no family members there", is misleading and a perfect example of the kind of fear-mongering that is at work and that, yes, you seem susceptible to.
The article does not deal with deaths in Italy, it deals with reported death in a city in the far North of Italy called Bergamo. It has a population of 122,000 and a significantly higher percentage of pensioners than the national average. There are many, many reasons why a single city or town in a particular country might have problems with health care provision during a spike in illnesses or deaths. This is the kind of critical thinking that we are trying to encourage here. It has nothing to do with any narrative about "4D" or "lizards" or the "NWO", if that's what you think our focus is, then you're mistaken.
There is an incredible session Session 23 March 2019 about the underlying basis of the physiology and the role of proteins, as antennas for information. Viruses may not have a cell of their own, but they have some code enveloped in proteins. For this reason they should also be able to pick up information, and it may help to explain why and how a virus can interact with a host and modify its structure to fit or not fit.

The Covid-19 belongs to the Coronavirus family and according to the above excerpt, the coronavirus family was created or designed that way, because the idea of evolution is mistaken.
See also The art of the miniature — Nature's smallest designs are the some of the most wonderful of all In this article there is a video that explains the functions of what is called kinesins, that do logistic work in the cell. This is not especially related to the virus except perhaps that kinesins might also be involved in transporting components of the viruses that enter the cells. The function of kinesins might help to understand the level of complexity and engineering work taking place within cells.

The same session ends with a few words of encouragement which even might fit what we go through now:
I don't think it's a test, they are actually doing stuff.
I read about Macron's declaration earlier today, that when the gov bails out companies, they might have to "nationalize" them, i.e. take them over. That appears to me to be a glimmering of an objective.
I think that you may be a lucky person who has never had much dealings with any medical system. You are in the US, yes, where the medical system is basically capitalistic and lots of people with health issues who have money to pay, so there are hospitals that are expensive and thus not terribly crowded at any given time.
In the EU, in most countries (someone will correct me if I'm wrong), healthcare is socialized. It's a great system in many respects, but one of the downsides is that it is usually swamped at any given time. In the 17 years I've lived in France now, in a household with several members dealing with health issues, some life-threatening, I've had a lot of exposure to the medical system here. As I said, much of it is terrific, but the "swampedness" of it is often an issue. Quite a number of times, during the hospitalization of a seriously ill family member, I've had to watch while they get shuffled from this room to that, from intensive care to a room to another room, just because the personnel were trying to move people around to make room for the one who needs to be here or there the most. We went through this twice, in December and January and, at one point, there was such a rush to do things that I didn't feel comfortable with, I took the family member OUT of the hospital, home, to receive nursing care there for the same period he would ordinarily have been hospitalized. It really was that bad. He was on IV drips three times a day and the nurse came each time to hook him up and then un-hook him. But I felt the pressure of the medical staff at the hospital to "hurry up and do this so we can free up the bed" and I didn't think it was reasonable to do a dangerous procedure when more treatment was needed BEFORE attempting something invasive. So, home we went.
We have traveled to Italy a number of times and have friends living there and some conversational familiarity with the medical system there. It is way more swamped than the system in France, as we have understood it. They are ALWAYS on the verge of having no beds available at ALL for anybody, under normal circumstances. A lot of people in Italy complain about the totally inadequate medical system that is crumbling before their eyes.
Well, people in France complain about the medical system here now, too. Many of them say it used to be way better. When there is not a rush, when things are "normal" more or less, the care is excellent and the costs are very reasonable, even if you have to pay everything out of pocket. But admittedly, it has been getting a lot more "swamped" in recent years, thus the incident I cited above.
So, again, Italy's system is way less efficient, well set up, stocked, etc. So the very smallest increase of anything at all will drive them over the edge of being able to cope. To have a lot of people recategorized as "critical" or in need of ICU beds, when they have so little wiggle room to start with, and yeah, they are gonna go down.
Add to that the apparent fact that Italy was hit hard for some reason. Elderly population? Rafts of migrants? Tourists? Who knows. But when your healthcare system is on the verge of collapsing anyway, the slightest surge is gonna be bad news.
I hope that helps.
This was already posted in the thread several pages back.
This thread is moving so fast, you have to check in at least twice a day to keep up!
I hope I've clarified that for you a little. Italians are always living on the edge of their healthcare system going under! And they aren't the only ones who run out of beds; it happens in France regularly even without an emergency situation.
Unreal for sure! Strangely enough what is going on right now seems to be quite some orders of magnitude more intense and widespread compared to the immediate after effects of 9/11. As far as I know, after 9/11, apart from the temporarily implemented flight bans (and laws that were implemented) there were none of the pretty extensive and quite frankly spooky measures being implemented right away in such a way and in this magnitude that we are seeing right now pretty much in every country globally, one by one.
It almost seems to me that some interests are currently somehow hellbent on sinking the global economy (consciously or not), or at least putting it at great risk. The main drivers of the global economy are now also starting to be shut down. Airbus and a whole list of automotive manufacturers are stopping their productions. VW, SEAT, Fiat Chrysler, Peugeot, Renault, Opel, Ford to name just a few. All very strange and frankly unreal to watch. A lot of it can be explained by a totally hysteric state of society I think but I wouldn't be so sure that there are not definite interests right now using that fragile state for their nefarious purposes.

Now the AC in public transportation, stores and workplaces... that is something that I always had an apprehension for and been thinking of lately. I usually get sick twice a year from these things, especially in spring. Sometimes it happens in matters of minutes of being exposed to a strong air flow or vent.
Remember the Legionnaire Disease? Had similar symptoms with the CV, if you read.
Last time it was reported a couple of years ago it was pinned on obsolete HVAC systems.
Now I read that China is supplying Italy with AC units for hospitals. My advice: avoid AC's and hospitals. Keep a window cracked open.
If you think about the fast global rapid scale of propagation of this virus, it cannot be just human contact and interaction.
When my mind starts swirling, I cannot avoid an association between AC-planes-workplaces-hospitals, and cold air flow as a transmission vehicle for the virus, just as in David Lynch movies evil spirits move through the electric system and sockets. I know it sounds crazy, but bear in mind that it must be a physical vehicle for for any aethereal thought/being to come into manifestation. Then the fact that warm-hot climate kills it. I can ponder on other associations,and not 5G which as a frequency I believe is in tune with the raising of the vibration complex, but something basic and existing in society norms....

I posted this in the session thread.
Now I have no way to verify this claim. It does seem to fit this situation we are going through.
It's a quick read if anyone is interested.
