I have highly reliable sources that tell me that this social separation period for the virus is to slow transmission solely for the purpose of our health care system capacities. That this virus WILL hit a 55-70% total population infection rate . They went into detail about the epidemiology lets just say this virus has no predecessor for us to stack upon. So this separation time isn’t to stop the virus . There is no stopping it . It is so that all of us are not sick at once and collapse and overrun our health care systems. They also said that the plan is to slow the infection through the year 2022. That is when human antibodies and effective vaccines will terminate this virus. Crazy stuff . Not a conspiracy.

Correct. "Lowering the curve" just delays the inevitable and spreads it out more, it doesn't reduce the total infections. That was common knowledge two months ago for anyone paying attention.

seems like UK took the top spot here in Europe and as stated above,something is still coming our way like a runaway train......

PRIMARY CAUSES are GROSS OVERPOPULATION the UK has among the highest population density in Europe, OBESITY more fatties especially in minorities are dying of Corona, and inbred 13 toed chavs (rednecks) totally ignoring the lockdown and gathering to party/ socialise etc. For example the two area worst affected in this region are those with the most sink estates and higher ethnic population who also are those completely ignoring the lockdown.

Don't let Bill hear you call the UK a "European country" LOL.

The deaths per million population in the UK are still lower than Belgium, Spain, and Italy, and it looks like it's going to stay that way for a while at least. And in cases per million population, the UK is lower than Switzerland, Spain, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, and Belgium.
 
Watch the stock market. That tells you what they are up to and the price of gold. People buy other people with gold. They dont give them plastic with numbers on it.
Mysteriously the price of gold went up during the crisis. Also the medical supply companies. Great way to make money.

Silver is a useless commodity

How so? Silver has many times more industrial uses than gold. And as money, silver is for small change, gold is for big ticket purchases.

Silver has the highest thermal and electrical conductivity of all metals. It is antimicrobial, non-toxic, malleable, ductile, corrosion resistant, photosensitive, highly reflective...all sorts of properties that make it valuable for industrial uses as well as for jewelry and money. In short, it is one of the MOST useful metals there is!

Gold and silver both have almost always historically had value or significance, with gold being more valuable than silver in many cultures. I think its a safe bet that they will continue to hold value even in a SHTF situation.

Yes but Silver sells for 20c a gram compared to gold being ridiculous

That's because we've gotten away from using metals as currency so their true values are not reflected when they are exchanged for fiat currencies. I would suggest that gold is over-priced and silver is under-priced. I think they are both worthwhile investments if you are anticipating a pre-industrial existence.

Yes I agree but I doubt you will be able to pay off the invading force with silver. You can buy people out with gold coins.
 
you have to stay on your toes,,,I expect a big boom this summer and to be honest I think being near any beach is just begging for trouble,,,watch any state that has ocean frontage is going to boom in cases and deaths,,,,you could not pay me to go to the beach,,,any beach
 
I have 2 more auctions I would like to go to and after that,,,I will avoid the crowds
 
Outside activities in my area are almost non-existent. Something to about the local temps. LOL I suggested to the wife we go out for a walk. She just pointed at the thermometer and went back to watching "Little House on the Prairie". Local outdoor rifle range did reopen, so maybe next month I will stop by and test out my reloads. Pretty easy to maintain distance at the range. If the experts are right about high temps, the china virus does not stand much of a chance at my range. Shoot :D
 
I haven't seen any change in the number of people who are out and about around here. Most people in my area ignored the stupid "stay at home" orders. People are still out fishing, swimming, camping, hunting, putting up hay and cutting firewood as usual. The ranchers are moving their cattle out to open range now. Life goes on, but some things have become more difficult, and more expensive, due to facist government actions.
 
We are starting to see inflation kick in more now. Food prices in particular have gone up but it’s starting to spread through most industries. With unemployment near 20% and inflation combined this is where prepping will become all the more important.
 
So with all the people out and about without doing any social distancing and wearing masks, I started to chart the infections in my county. Increase in deaths take about 10 days to catch up to increase in new infections.

Looks about like what's happening here in my county. We had a retirement community hit pretty hard just this past week. It's not even a "nursing home" for people with health problems, just a community for older people (who don't want to live around all the youngsters, I guess).
 
New Zealand started out with the goal of flattening the curve to prevent our health care system being overwhelmed. We ended up having 24 consecutive days with zero new cases (which ended today when two people returned from overseas with covid-19). We're lucky because we have no land boarders. But our borders are our achillies heel when it comes to covid-19.

They should test all upon arrival and quarantine them until the tests are negative.

Normally they quarantine for two weeks but they made an exception for compassionate reasons. They've said in the future a negative test result will be needed before a compassionate exemption is given.
Too little too late. Not even a week with zero active cases and they've already slacked off
