Wow! I knew you liked that sort of thing, but just in case you have to really carry out the dirty deed of protecting your property let me give you a little seed thought.

(if you can afford one that is) Get a tractor with a front loader and add the option of a remote control.



After you have protected your legal rights of eliminating the intruder start your 4X4 tractor front loader via remote control using your remote control jogger move the front loader into place, pick up the now deceased intruder with the front loader and move him or her to the edge of your property. Deposit said intruder on the next parcel and return the front loader to your property using rags and high pressure water to remove any traces of the body that was removed from your property.

Hide the gun and practice your shrugging stance for any inquires about the body found on the parcel next to yours.

Do you agree with what this article says

"Globalization, as we knew it in the past, is over"

Quote:
We are going to see massive restructuring of supply chains,” said Capri, who has over two decades of experience in various trade roles including leading the Asia trade and customs practice at accounting giant KPMG.

I'm going to say maybe but people tend to just go back to what they know and forget the lessons.

Globalization was under increasing and already heavy flak already before Corona. Asia is not as cheap for production anymore as it once was, namely china. A flow back of Western companies out of Asia and back to the West, was to be perceived, in countable numbers, already since a couple of years, with growing trend. Itsd was not so much the big corporations, but the "Mittelstand" moving back.



As a market, Asia will remain important, however.


I think this trend will grow. Quesiton is about the speed of this process. Economy will see the most profound restrucxtures and repairs since the world wars once the medical side of this drama is kind of under control.

I must say, the one thing I really enjoy is the silence. Its quiter than on Sundays, and already on Sundays this town, whcih is very arch-conservative and arch-Catholic, was quite. But now it is even more. You only hear neighbours doing their garden things when you pen the balcony door, but almost no traffic noise. I really like that.

Listen, stupid woman: this is why we call it a major desaster and not a picnic by the river. Shut up, free your chair and make room for somebody who has at least a minimum of sanity between his ears.

We have done it in Austria, ski ressort Ischgl not closing down with corona cases already present, and then Ischgl became the start and epicentre of the European spreading of Corona. The Swedes tried stupidly until yesterday to repeat the same mistake the Austrian did in Ischgl, they left open a ski resspoort named I think Äla or Älo or some name like that, major touristic hotspot over there, and ignored nation-wide what was going on while Corona patients already were transported out if Älo. Not before yesterday they finally shut down Älo all of a sudden. And now they have hundreds of spreaders and superspreaders bringing Corona to all over their country. They will pay dearly for this foolishness.

Stupid people are everywhere. Crowds and herds and numbers of them. Its nauseatic.There should be a virus killing stupid people. I would object to developing a vaccine. It would be such a better world, and overpopulation probably would not become an issue again for the coming 100 years.

Arizona Man Dies After Trying Substance Touted by Trump to Treat COVID-19
https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news...tical-11460391

Quote:
An Arizona man died after he and his wife ingested a chemical in an attempt to prevent a coronavirus infection, Banner Health said in a press release. His wife is in critical care. Both are in their 60s.

The chemical — chloroquine phosphate — is commonly used to clean fish tanks.

During a press conference on Thursday, President Donald Trump touted chloroquine as showing "very, very encouraging early results" in treating COVID-19 and falsely stated that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was working "to be able to make that drug available almost immediately." The drug has been used to treat malaria.

I wish Trump would just keep his noise openign shut for just one day.



The German scientific head of Corona operations, Drosten, whom i mentioned several times before, has ripped studies done on Chloroquine apart and voiced serious doubts nnd criticism on the studies' design and methodology. He currently does not see the substance as an option. And finally, the substance is extremely toxic on the cellular-inherent level. You want better than just dubious assumptions and faint hopes to consider taking it. Its complicated a thing.

Dont let politics or an obsession with one man blind you to your own predicament.
Yes, the response was (too) slow, and errors have been made in Europe. Not in England of course, which is why those borders remained open to the US . At least at first.
I have no obsession, but when peope call this "one man" competent or serious, and defend brazen lies i tend to disagree
But.. you are of course right. Don't get blinded, don't get sucked into this discussion mess is good advice.
This thread is growing so fast i can't keep up, only read portions of it now - all the best for you.

A delivery of 6 million FFP2 masks for Germany just "dissappeared" on the airport in Kenya.

Meanwhile the Association of SHI Physicians said that another volume of promised 10 million masks that the health minister had gloriously announced some days ago, has not shown up and that the reserves for all hospitals and doctors in Berlin look like this, actual image:



Tja tja. The world is a big and evil place, dear German administratives. This is what happens if one misses to protect ones own interests and mistakes plan announced with plans successfully executed. How mean!

^ What the... and WHY?
I have not heard of exactly such, but other cases of disturbing the health services here.
In the US, nurses have been insulted as "virus spreaders". What is going on in some heads

Offending and swearing,k beating, kicking and attacking medics, hosital doctors and firefighters has become common in Germany, catfish, even attacks by friends and family clans on police officers.


There is a persistent progression. It susually harmlessly called "erosion of the law and order state".

I hope they get the virus and die of it.
