Your discussion about being prepared made me remember some scene from documentary about preppers.

It's many years back so it's from my memory.

Some journalist or similar asked a preppers about his stuff:

- How or for how long can you stay alive with all this ?

Preppers:

- Maybe 3-4 years.

Journalist or similar then said:

- But in case of nuclear war, supply for 3-4 years will not be enough.

Something like that.

Back to our ordinary discussion.

Some authorities still have not heard the shot. This was today, market place of my hometown.

Westfälische Nachrichten.

At a time when all around cities lock down bars, clubs, sport events, assemblies of more than 1000 people and then 100 people, and so forth. This on a day when in the county I live in, over the afternoon and evening, every hour the official count of new identified cases climbed by 1-2 dozens. PER HOUR. And that is just the official number of the identified, the known cases. I multiply them by 15 (as a simple mean factor in the range of 10-20 factors).

No wonder that all around us nations shut down and close borders - and especially lock German travellers out, I cannot mistake them for that.

BTW, if the virus can live for three days on plastic and steel surfaces and 3 hours in the air's aerosols, it can also sit and survive as long on the surface of fruits and vetegables. And look at all those breathing people walking by the stands! Smear, smear, have no fear....

Many still have not heard the shot. Although the pistol was held close to their ears when pulling the trigger, and the magazine then was completely emptied.

If the German government lets this happen, it should get court-martialled, so to speak. Its in the vitla interest of germany and the world outside America to deny this move at any cost and even by use of force, and if needed the state should even take over this company.

Der Spiegel refers to Welt am Sonntag:

Quote:

Meanwhile, there are apparently disputes between Germany and the United States over a Tübingen company that is working on a vaccine against the coronavirus. According to a report by "Welt am Sonntag", US President Donald Trump is trying to lure German scientists to America with high financial contributions or to secure the drug exclusively for his country, the newspaper citing government circles in Berlin.

The US President allegedly offers the company a large amount to secure its work exclusively. Trump is doing everything possible to get a vaccine for the United States. "But only for the United States," according to the newspaper, according to the federal government.

At the request of the German Press Agency, the Federal Ministry of Health referred to statements that a ministry spokesman had already made to "Welt am Sonntag". "The Federal Government is very interested in the fact that vaccines and active substances against the novel corona virus are also being developed in Germany and Europe," the newspaper quoted the spokesman. "In this regard, the government is in intensive contact with the company CureVac."

Germany, according to the newspaper, tries to keep the company with financial offers. According to the report, CureVac is working with the federal Paul Ehrlich Institute for Vaccines and Biomedical Drugs to produce a vaccine against the virus.

I see it's a good thing to have a couple of gallons of 91% isopropyl alcohol on hand.

Don't let the door hit ya where God split ya...

Here in Los Angeles, the public libraries are closed til at least 1 April and the Catholic Diocese has asked worshipers not to attend services in their local churches; the same holds with Jewish congregations, but I haven't heard any of the organized Protestant denominations shutting down, although I'm gonna guess they will follow likewise. There is a "Dollar Store" around the corner from my home and I went there earlier this evening and they really hadn't been picked over by the hoarders much at all; still plenty of cleaning and health items and a goodly amount of their usual limited ranges of food items. What I did notice was the emptiness of the streets, both in terms of pedestrians and vehicles; when I ventured out last night and tonight, the usual heavy foot and vehicle traffic normally seen on weekend nights here in Hollywood was pretty much gone; I haven't seen the streets this vacant since 9/11...

I can comment on observation if I want to and did I say I didn't watch them, or are you making knee jerk conclusions from zero knowledge?

I like your posts but if you're going to constantly get hurt feelings over minutia, by all means feel free to stop and save yourself the drama.

Health officials point out that anti-inflammatory drugs are known to be a risk for those with infectious illnesses because they tend to diminish the response of the body’s immune system.

The health ministry added that patients should choose paracetamol because “it will reduce the fever without counterattacking the inflammation”.

Sure it's fake news...

Trip down to my local supermarket for toilet rolls...HEY HEY.

Oh wait a minute on closer inspection they are trying to pass off Kitchen hand towel paper for toilet rolls!!!!!!!!!

No one bought any.

Looks like the Supermarkets cash in on panic buying is coming to an end as they write open letters urging people to stop. What they really are saying is we can not keep up with panic buying and shopper's are venting their rage on staff.

Meanwhile Health Minister Matt Hancock MP is asking manufacturers to make more ventilators and here comes the ching ching money in the bank..."No number is too high". That will be taken for cost not production numbers. Do I here double triple the cost? You bet you're arse they will.
