I absolutely agree, and acted like that myself. Parts of the forum laughed at me when I told that. I wonder if they still do. Well, the Trumpianics probably do, but they do not count.

I had the above since logner time with P2 and P3 filters, its not bought durign Corona, I am looking for a less obstrusive solution, however, and laboratory glasses.

Yea, sadly the less radical half mask respirator with P2 or P3 filters + gogles is also sold out more or less. Those were fairly cheap, especially the mature models that are still in production since Soviet era.

Economy: a "greased slide" from here on. Or even already since the 70s.

I agree with them. There is no going back to the old ways from here on, the financial damage just is too high. The system is dead, the megacycle of credit money now is in its final stage of agony, all life support machines plugged in and running, but no more signs from the dead corpus. And the ordinary people and small business owners and pensioneers will be the ones who will be hit hardest.



Game over.

The media is having a nasty habit not taking into account the lag factor so its sounds even worst. They should keep an eye on new cases after the lock down this is key to show good signs. Italy is now at that stage in flattening the curve. Keep an eye on them this week and next. I rather watch Dr John's daily updates on YouTube than the mainstream media news.

Steed, we have had just over 600 cases of people with the virus who have been hospitalized, we have had 12 deaths so far in this area, but one thing I like seeing in their reporting is that they have listed 269 who have been in the hospital with the virus, have recovered and been sent home. The media has to start talking about that too!

I agree they need to talk up the positive news, too much negative news is not good for your mental health.

People who have survived and then been tested negative can still spread the virus. That makes it nearly impossible to stop the spread until everyone develops immunity or they are dead. To develop an immunity to the virus you have to get it and survive or get a vaccine that we don't have yet.
