No doubt they'll be a 2nd wave of this Coronavirus and probably more terrible than the first one. Some people are so stupid though that they'll never be able to see the Woods, for the trees, until it happens to them, or someone really close to them. Then the **** hits the fan, when it's too late to do anything about it!

Some food delivery places have "contactless delivery" -where they set the food down at a safe distance, etc -yet they have their bare grubby mitts all over it when they do. We are clueless! It is better than breathing face to face, but you might as well shake hands.

Everything that is going on right now and has been going on is scary to say the least, but the human species is resilient. We have overcome things as bad and worse in the past, and as callous as that might sound, we will again.
We feel it stronger, are more aware now, because of the easy access to information and misinformation at our finger tips. Some will become hyper aware and not just take precautions and keep it as safe as possible, there are always things we miss and / or can't predict, and fall into despair and fear. They become paralyzed by that fear and that will cause even more issues. Others will be aware, do what they can to keep as safe as possible, but otherwise try to find a way to live a "normal" life in our changed circumstances. We'll work towards the future and try to help facilitate it. Knowing that no matter what we do and how cautious we might be, our number can be up. We remain brave in the face of adversity, because that is how we are made. Others will put their head in the sand, and deny that anything is wrong at all. They either will make it through or will end up being perishing. There is no saying which it will be. The point in the end is this. Life as we know it, has always come with often very steep and scary circumstances. Their has always been sickness and even pandemics, we just didn't hear about them as much or ignored them because they didn't touch our life instantly. How we react to it, is up to each individual. The only constant in life is change. You can either embrace it and learn to live with it, or you can remain stuck. |

It will be fine, the bug isn't as virulent as the paranoids thought it would be.
But the dirt coming out is that it really is the result of a biological warfare material that was mishandled, in a legitimate accident. Besides the planet is so exceedingly overpopulated, the death toll is comparatively a tiny trickle, hardly even a proverbial scratch. Some good is coming from this though. But only time will tell. Oh, and because every country that is unable to recycle their PPE is dumping their plastic waste into the environment, the time table for the extinction of the oceans world wide, is accelerating. And not long ago, the very last major Arctic ice shelf just disintegrated. The new age is coming sooner than everyone thought. |

How will Mankind recover from all of this? From The Hill: "Global coronavirus death toll passes 100,000" Yes, Pandemic 2020 is getting worse. Except for social distancing, nothing is making the situation better. Fake solutions have proven to be the fakes that they are. So, how are people to cope with the mass deaths? How are people to cope with the shortages due to hoarding? How are people to cope with a lack of employment as a result of Pandemic 2020? We recover by changing the way our societies are construed... It is not getting worse, we are just not over the peak. China is. Took them 3 months too. Mass deaths? Where? I don't see them piled up in the streets. 7.7 billion people on the planet, 108.000 dead in a pandemic is really not that many. Cope with hoarding? What hoarding? There is no hoarding here, plenty of food and supplies and well stocked supermarket. There are no shortages. Lack of employment is not really the case either. Most people who work at an office now do the same work at home. The joy of internet that this is possible! Many companies are adapting their services for instance by delivering food and now providing take-away. The only ones who might get in a tight spot are companies who cannot make a living at all like hotels, campings etc. Most have done well enough to get through 2 months without income, meaning it might get critical by now for them. Many others can still work their jobs as they work alone. My son in law is welder, he still works. Garages are still open and so on. I don't understand why people think up these doom scenarios that do not exist. To shed some light, personal experiences often trump what might be the big picture. Here in the US, there is indeed hoarding, lack of resources, and skyrocketing unemployment. Much of our work force is in the industries of sales (personal interactions) and customer service(also personal interactions) that cannot be done from home. I would say most of our jobs that are not 'high level' office, are also NOT set up to allow people to work from home. They want their 'proprietary' software in their own locations and not scattered in personal homes. So, here in America, the sudden changes are very real and more challenging than what most of the population has ever lived through. I agree it is not Dooms day, so to speak, but it may be a serious change of life 'as we know it', in terms of how society and economies conduct themselves. your right about that ...I try hard to conduct myself ... as I would normally do when I have to go out ... but seems I am getting... where I dont like to go out anymore or want to do anything ... not fearful just more depressed ... and want to stay in my own bubble and sleep ... or I would really crack ... I have fought this feeling a long time ago ... before my daughter ... can't seem to find the energy ... an can not remember how I pulled myself out of the depression a very long time ago ... feeling a lot of anxiety... it is going to be a long rd to follow ... I do know that ...wish I could feel something better ... I do try and think I could be worse ... and stop telling myself all of the negative things ... I need something ... but have not found that something ... |

All in all some people and/or companies may get in trouble now that a 2nd wave is flaring up.
But... the Spanish flu was way way way worse and ALSO had a 2nd wave which actually killed most people. This 2nd wave has less deaths than the 1st. We also survived and thrived again after Spanish flu and then dead people were almost piled up in the streets. It was that bad. Back then there was no internet either. Now most office workers work at home, have done for months, using the internet. So they get normal pay each month. My daughter does that too. Her partner is a specific welder and has gone to work every day for this entire period, also making his normal pay. And tens of thousands of others do too. My daughter just bought a house with her partner the other day... my neighbours had a 10 week renovation of approx $75.000! People don't do these things when it's that bad. And sure, some may be in trouble, I think mostly the ones with higher paid jobs to be honest. Companies are adapting, many already had online sales branches and have expanded those now, others have started online sales. Even crystal & mineral fairs -which is what these ppl do for a living- that were cancelled are now being held online, on Facebook. And lemme tell you, they all sell like crazy, and I think they even make more that way than on a real life fair. Also, after Spanish flu the US cities that were strict with lockdown, rules, facial masks, etc etc (just like now), and had a long lockdown, thrived economically when it all was over. The ones that were easier with the rules and shorter lockdown didn't thrive so much. I don't see the worry. I do know a few people who are going through stressful times as freelancers. With the travel restrictions they have difficulty doing their normal job, another one is in the higher paid tiers of the financial world which is now hesitant and rather inactive. They've been without income for 6 months and about to get in chit very soon. But overall I think it's going to be fine for most. I think one of the most important things to do is not buy into all the BS stories online or in the news. Best not to read or watch any of it. We are mostly being spoon-fed nonsense anyway. |

I think if we do the math, it is very likely -if not certain -that mankind would eventually be overwhelmed by some thing or another.
Invulnerability is the only real chance we have -not only for survival, but also moving out into the universe. |

This virus may very well have been on purpose, it may have been a test and we may never know.
The real powers that be know there are way too many people on this planet and would love to cut the population down a great deal. We don't have any idea what's really happening; the real power in this world is not the president no matter who that is.The real powers pull the strings and world "leaders" dance to their tune. |

why magnify or give homage to a flu? billionaires getting rich again while the middle class crumbles...these guys are experts at creating catastrophes and then profiting from them.
charles macarthur did a great teaching on it....he looked at yearly death number a year at a time for 5 years...the covid did not change the amount of people that died in a certain year...if you believe the media concerning this try this...take yourself to a local government office and tell them you are reporting for duty... they could use some good gullible submissive people to clean bathrooms and what not i am sure... |

The amount of disinformation is astonishing...
I happen to work for one of those government offices who have figures... compared to previous year and to 90,000 official deaths for covid, we have an increase on the number of deaths (not considering the reason) of about 300,000. So the number of deaths can be underestimated, but for sure it's not overestimated and this kind of disinformation just makes people think that after all it's just a flu. Well, it's NOT. It was perhaps acceptable to make such comments one year ago, it's no longer acceptable today. |

I don't think there's anything to worry about beyond keeping safe until the new drugs start putting the problem more at arm's length. After all this isn't the first time the world has faced a pandemic and the last few times there were no medicines to alleviate symptoms or save people.
I'm talking about the Great Plague and Spanish Flu specifically. They're both still out there but we've come to terms with that fact. The same is going to happen with Covid 19. My best guess is that an inoculation against it will be added to those yearly medicines we need to have administered. I think it will all be over, bar the shouting, by the end of spring. In the meantime - stay safe folks. |
