You're doing the right thing to prepare... just in case.

Actually, the Wuhei fatality rate was reported to be around 18% due to overwhelmed medical facilities.

My local grocery store has sanitizing wipe dispensers just inside the doors for wiping down the handles of the carts. They've had them for as many years as I can remember.

A simple math example. Lets assume somehow the virus indeed grinds through 60% of mankind's 8 billion people, and has a mortality rate of 2%.

That means 96 million dead.

That would be roughly a quarter of the US population, or significantly more than Germany's total population.

This ignores many factors and variables that change in the future: medical counter measures, political failure, mutations, travel restrictions and so on. But still, it gives an illustration of what it maybe is about.


Even if the virus reaches just 10% of the gloobal population and had a mortality rate of just 1%, we still would talk about 8 million dead.

FACT

The Media the governments the viral experts are not telling us all the facts so I will treat it all with a pinch of salt. Until the day we are told the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.



Terry Nation gets it right again...
First season was good but season 2 and 3 went to the wall slowly.

Back from my weekly shopping and what I over heard at the checkout made me wonder why are people panicking? The women behind me said she was going on holiday and she stocked up on hundreds of surgical masks! Yes the world has gone mad....

This is only the first couple of months what the heck will it be like in a few more months? People screaming out we are all going to die, hey news in yes we are all going to die one day.

...but now all of a sudden they're always empty when I go to pull one out. There has been a recent uptick in the number of people using those wipes.

According to Indian religious peanut heads, the pandemic can be defeated, fast and cheap and on the fly. Drink cow piss. Apply cow dung on your body. Sing a holy song. Done.

https://www.zerohedge.com/health/ind...-cure-covid-19

Its not just some religious village nuthead saying this. Its the boss of the Indian state, with control over one of the biggest militaries in the world and nuclear weapons.

Please can we wait a little bit with defeating this disease? Allowing it to thin the global population out a bit, may free the survivors from at least some of the burden of some extraodinarily stupid people.
