If the Corona Virus mutates, get ready...


M-O-O-N, that spells Apocalypse!

If it does it'll be a heck of a lot worse than what was depicted in this movie\book.

I live close to a few metro areas...I'm screwed if it gets out of hand everywhere.

The rumors that China is hiding the real numbers makes me nervous.

reply

I live on Long Island. There are lots of boats here. If it gets bad, I'll hop in a boat to bypass NYC, head down south, and live in the woods. I'll have me a nice boring life, living in the woods, somewhere where it doesn't snow 😊 hmmm...Where is that dang virus when I need it.

reply

Yup, I'm not too far away from NYC. Although North would be the easier path for me.

reply

The problem with going north is that it snows. So, eventually (unless you did a lot of farming) you'd run out of food and you'd be F'd come winter.

reply

The case in Toronto doesn't help either.

Ever heard of hunting?

reply

No I've never heard of hunting... wise a$$.

reply

For effs sake, would you stop being silly... It's 2020 she orders it from Amazon same day delivery, now...

reply

Amazon... So easy a 106 year old prophet lady can do it!

reply

Does she still bake her own bread?!
Mayhap she does and mayhap she doesn't.

You go and see her. You and all yo frenzzzzz.

You go and see her. You and all yo frenzzzzz.

I don't have any friends.

Apparently you have forgotten all about SARS, Avian Flu, West Nile Virus, Ebola and all the other 'Apocalyptic Plagues' the media has tried to terrify us with over the last couple of decades.

reply

They don't build concrete walls on highways, and multiple emergency hospitals for the flu.

reply

Avian flu is not like regular flu, and its death rate is 60% as opposed to 2% of covid19 or whatever

reply

Corona is just the delivery system. They're test running the viral potential. Seems to be spreading real good. Next they package it with the lethal kill virus. Cull the human race. Rebuild society. Just like in their fancy Georgia Guidestones.

Why the coronavirus outbreak is like Stephen King's The Stand in reverse

https://theoutline.com/post/8781/the-stand-coronavirus-remake-stephen-king

"No, coronavirus is NOT like THE STAND," King tweeted Sunday evening. "It’s not anywhere near as serious. It’s eminently survivable. Keep calm and take all reasonable precautions." But as Sean T. Collins notes, coronavirus is like a mirror-universe run-through of The Stand, which is being turned into a CBS All Access miniseries. "The Stand’s implicit argument that a world-historical cataclysm would be required for such people to coalesce into a large-scale political force — that the chaos wrought by a pandemic would be required for a Flagg-like folksy strongman to attract those people to his side — now seems quaint and sad," says Collins. "In our world, the cause-and-effect have been reversed: We have had the flag-hugging, McDonald’s-eating, elite-bashing black-eyed monster for years, and we’re getting the pandemic after the fact. Indeed, the presence of our preexisting Flagg figure at the height of power seems bound to exacerbate the plague’s spread. In our mirror-universe run-through of The Stand’s story arc, we’re about to find out how bad finally stupid can get."

Orange Man Bad. 🙄

China caused this, Xi is responsible.

It creates doubt and negativity.
