I don't agree with some of what Alex Jones says, but I can listen to him talk for hours. He is incredibly entertaining.

Locked and loaded. Brass is going to be worth waaaay more than gold when the sky falls, Corona takes out 2% of American society ages 70-85, and society subsequently collapses. In the mean time, I'll take a double, neat and hurry because I only have 12.5 hours until step. I'll be not worrying about a damn thing somewhere if you need more advice.

Wow, looks bad for The Villages.

Number of active cases continues to decrease by thousands per day as you can see by clicking that link. You'll never hear the meida report that stat. It doesn't fit the fear mongering agenda.

The above link has the morality rate at about 10%, was 7% when I looked at it just now. So even with cases decreasing that means it'll affect more people fatally than the roughly 2% being reported by most outlets.

As some have pointed out, mortality rates are not just a simple division problem, they include multiple variables.

A good comparison of coronavirus to some of the other scares. It blows them out of the water.

check out snopes on this clip. There’s much more than that small part shown in the dailymail article. Not nearly as bad.

Thank you for posting this. It’s a shame our “news” media can’t be as objective and scientific. I’m scared not by the virus, but of the irrational human reaction to it.

Don’t know how you found that, but a very interesting and enlightening article. Thank you.

It mostly dovetails with my own observations so far. (Training capacity/lead times, Leaves, no-fly lines, etc).

If this is what IATA is using for planning...then we aren’t in that bad of a spot. Not the great one of three months ago...but not post 9-11 or 2009-10, either.
