Wouldn’t that be great if this pandemic lead to a spiritual/religious revival in the U.S.?
Referring to Christianity, of course.
But we may be too far gone for that.

Of course it’s too far gone for that, Steve. Look around at all the sacredized abominations of America’s secular religion. This is that “like the times of Noah” Jesus was talking about at the end of the age.

Maryland Komissar Larry Hogan announced that the state has become a communist dictatorship to prevent the spread of coronavirus. These actions are to be enforced by the gestapo and the National [we bring people from diverse backgrounds together to defend freedom and protect communities] Guard:
Shut down all bars, restaurants, gyms and movie theaters, effectively starting at 5 p.m. Monday. Drive through and carry out services will be allowed to continue.
Following CDC guidelines, settings of 50 of more individuals will be prohibited across the state, including social and recreational events and religious and sports gatherings.
Essential services such as grocery stores, banks and gas stations will be allowed to remain open.
The executive order prohibits utilities, such as electric, gas, water, sewage, cable, internet and phone lines, to be cut off nor incur late fees.
Evictions have been prohibited.

Anthony Fauci is Rumps Rasputin, and another Empire is about to fall.
“The chief fearmonger of the Trump Administration is without a doubt Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health. Fauci is all over the media, serving up outright falsehoods to stir up even more panic. He testified to Congress that the death rate for the coronavirus is ten times that of the seasonal flu, a claim without any scientific basis.
“On Face the Nation, Fauci did his best to further damage an already tanking economy by stating, “Right now, personally, myself, I wouldn’t go to a restaurant.” He has pushed for closing the entire country down for 14 days.
“Over what? A virus that has thus far killed just over 5,000 worldwide and less than 100 in the United States? By contrast, tuberculosis, an old disease not much discussed these days, killed nearly 1.6 million people in 2017. Where’s the panic over this?
“If anything, what people like Fauci and the other fearmongers are demanding will likely make the disease worse. The martial law they dream about will leave people hunkered down inside their homes instead of going outdoors or to the beach where the sunshine and fresh air would help boost immunity. The panic produced by these fearmongers is likely helping spread the disease, as massive crowds rush into Walmart and Costco for that last roll of toilet paper.”–Ron Paul

Ridiculing a potentially serious situation does nothing to help.

@Ned2,
I’m not ridiculing anything but government. I’m of the opinion that the government actions will cause way more damage than the flu ever would. They will wreck the entire economy over this. They don’t actually care whether you live or die. There are 70 million dead babies on account; your life means nothing to them. This is about power, plain and simple.

Pointing out that the Trump administration has enabled local govenments to strip individuals of everything they hold dear is an obligation of every concerned citizen. Most people have never owned their own business. Small businesses have a small profit margin with very little wiggle room. These endeavors support families and families of the employees. They don’t have big bank accounts like the conglomerates. Rumps answer is to print mo’ money but the paper will be “worth less”, and less until it becomes a big pile of paper. That alone should take care of the toilet paper shortage.
The facts go against shutting down the country and giving local governments unconstitutional supernumerary powers to be used against the citizens they swore to protect. It will only lead to a greater concentration of power that will never be given up without a fight. In 1775, the same thing happened and shots were fired that were “heard around the world.”
Now they have taken a “hammer and a sickle” and are in the process of shearing the sheep.
“a couple of months”…Trump has already [unofficially but notherless] extended his reign of terror until September. He is, like a good megalomaniac, threatening Japan if they don’t cancel the Olympics. I think all this 4D chess mumbo-jumbo is BS, but I would like to take him on in a game of checkers.
Ron Paul makes a good point. It will be interesting if the Kungflu skips over the homeless because they live outside in the fresh air.
I heard on Prager’s show today that preachers are having worship services out side this weekend. Shutting down religious services is part of the plan. Pray for those brave men and their congregations. There should be millions out on Sunday doing the same thing. Just like in 1775, this farce should be shut down. The sooner the better.
Being objective with tongue in cheek is not ridicule. It is sarcasm. The best way to get peoples attention is by being sharp, cutting and to the point. A good rule of thumb, told to me by a wise man a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, is let your words by like bullets. Make them bite. Looks like I’m doing a good job. But God gets all the credit because He make me a smarta–.

“Man’s most destructive creations are ideologies including political, religious and cultural. No creations have killed more of mankind than ideologies.”
Liberal mainstream media giant National Public Radio (NPR) has produced a special series called “The Coronovirus Crisis.” At this point, coronavirus has killed 69 Americans. For perspective, that’s approximately the number of Americans killed every 30 minutes through abortion.
Since 1973, surgical abortions in America have averaged close to 4,000 per day. This means around 1.3 million human beings have been intentionally killed before birth each year for the past 47 years in the United States, totaling around 65 million. And this is abortion only through surgical means.
Pharmaceutical or chemical abortions, and mechanical abortions through the IUD, raise the number almost ten-fold, according to Dr. Bogomir Kuhar, founder of Pharmacists for Life International, which has studied the problem and has come up with educated estimates.
“Summing up the above figures brings a grand total of 7,905,000 to 13,025,000 chemical [abortifacient contraceptives], mechanical [abortifacient devices, such as the IUD] and surgical abortions in the USA annually,”
“Extrapolating our findings above from 1973 [through 1994] — the year of legalization of abortion on demand in all 50 states — a total of 197,625,000 to 325,625,000 chemical, mechanical and surgical abortions have wiped out the equivalent of the entire U.S. population, more or less,” he concluded. There have been considerably more chemical abortions since then.
But it is the coronavirus currently holding the attention of the world. Abortion, on the other hand, is a radically different evil from the coronavirus, in kind and in number.–CHURCH MILITANT
No national emergency, just 47yrs of silence. But Trump did have time to hug the rainbow flag and go to the UN and ask for worldwide legalization of homosexuality.
Abortion works in reverse too. When national heath care came to England all adults 65 or over were given a medical ID. On one side were the letters, NTBR…NOT TO BE RESESSATED because aborted would be to harsh a word for a senior citizen, but that is what they were doing. Today the British government is considering rounding up everyone over 70 and placing them…in a gulag… indefinately…for their own good. In Mer’ca we call them “Nursing Homes.”
But babies can be resessatated. Sometimes the fetus comes out of the womb dead then resessatated and evaluated for organs and either killed again or used for organs yet ultimately killed again.
And just like the Nazis and Soviets, the same baby killers and supporters of baby killing will be running the gulags “aborting” people of all ages with resessation procedures in place. Leftards love to play doctor. Just look at the pretend palace called the CDC where bureaucrats make medical decisions based on “feelings.”

You could look it up, or actually look at what’s happening in Europe right now.
Getting upset that the gubmint is shutting stuff down, and crying about the unconstitutional aspect of it is shortsighted. It’s like crying about the fire dept trampling your precious petunias while your house burns down.
There is precedent for the gubmint shutting shit down in the event of a natural disaster, or any other emergency. They’ve done it before and will do it again. Fear of losing your Constitutional rights is dumb; you lost them over 100 years ago. Time to adapt and do something about it instead of crying in your beer.

“Spring-Breakers Pack Florida & Texas Beaches As [fake] Pandemic Threatens Societal Collapse: Previously in announcing temporary closures in his areas, Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber said, “We cannot become a petri dish for a very dangerous virus.” He declared: “Spring break is over. The party is over.” But clearly many other areas didn’t get the memo and witnessed an influx of bikini clad, beer guzzling partyers to their towns and beaches.”
So, I guess becoming a petri dish for tyranny is, OK…

In the words of Aldous Huxley, its a brave new world.
An Italian paramedic, age 46, tested positive, had no symptoms, died of a heart attack and the media claim he died of the virus.
An employee in a newsroom in his 60’s with underlying medical issues, tests positive for the virus and the media claim he died of the virus.
A 90 year old woman who was bedridden with a plethora of various diseases and conditions, tests positive for the virus and dies – the media claim the virus caused her death.
If an 80 year old man with hypertension and heart disease on a cocktail of medications tests positive for the Wuhan Virus and dies – what is the cause of death?
Statistics are unavailable. Demographics of ranges and gender of positives create confusion and mistrust. And the test kits have been given a lot of criticism for their unreliability
State governors are claiming they have the power to shut down all nonessential employee workforces, send them home and shutter their businesses indefinitely based on “feelings.” At the same time governors are releasing prisoners onto the streets while mayors and city managers are closing gun stores, unattended and unguarded, potential honey pots for ANTIFA and other deep state stormtroopers when the riots start. And the mayors will oblige the deep state by telling the police to stand down and save the National Guard for rounding up the redflagged right.
What a wonderful time to be alive. The lawabiding busted for exercising their right to assemble, while the homeless can assemble anywhere they wish.
In the meantime: The opioid epidemic kills 438,750 per year globally; the investigations into the Biden/China/Ukraine billions; the Trade War with China; the Hong Kong riots; the Yellow Vests, gone.
Logic and rationale…gone.
The deep state has avoided the expense of building a gulag. The gulag will be your own home, business, school, whatever location you are in when the lockdown comes. Communism created by “we the people” through their own fears.

“Lehigh County Coroner Eric Minnich confirmed the patient died Friday night at St. Luke’s University Hospital in Fountain Hill. HE SAID THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF THE MAN’S DEATH WAS A HEAD INJURY FROM A FALL AT HOME, BUT THAT THE VIRUS WAS LISTED AS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO HIS DEATH.”
“I you have cancer and the Coronavirus and died in Italy, that is counted as a Coronavirus death.”
“The media are reporting that today 627 people died from coronavirus. The I.S.S.[Italian Health Care system] has explained that only 12 people had no other pathologies. To attribute all the deaths to the virus is not only false and unscientific. It’s more than that. It is psychological terrorism.”
These are the I.S.S.’s [Italian Health Care system] own numbers. Almost HALF of the deceased have THREE co-morbidities. 25% have two co-morbidities, the other quarter have one co-morbidity. That leaves an insignificant number of people who die of CoronaCold-19 with no other pre-existing morbidity. Just exactly like every other flu and cold.
They have been cooking the books since day one so that anyone who dies is tested, and if coronavirus is present, the person is counted as a CORONAVIRUS DEATH.
During Russia, Russia, Russia, everyone knew it was a deep state attempted coup and people stopped believing the government and the MSM. Now all of a sudden those same liars and deep state opperatives are being believed and have convinced the public to drink the cool-aid of totalitarianism. And since cold viruses can never be eradicated and can’t be contained, the deep state has successfully brought the “forever war” home and with the frustration and hopelessness created by the fake flu growing every day, the military will soon follow to “contain the unrest.” Hope home is where the heart is, because millions of people will be there for a long time.
It’s too late to stop the economic collapse and the draconian list of totalitarian edicts that will stay in place, with more to follow. Let the record show that the Emperor was as naked as a jaybird.

There is no precedent for the government shutting down the whole country. During WWI and WWII the gov’mnt did not shut down industry, it “appropriated” certain segments of the economy for the “war effort” increasing production. Natural disasters are isolated and local and temperary while the rest of the country gears up to help with relief efforts. The way Trump has handled this fiasco will mean the USA will have to relie on foreign aid to get out.
“There is in decision analysis a technique—which I do not favor—called minimax. It begins by, à la Nassim Taleb, imagining the worst possible scenario, and then moving to minimize that. That’s what we’re doing here.
“Japan did not engage in widespread testing, didn’t confine people under martial law lite. They carried on much as usual, encouraged wearing masks, washing hands, and not freaking out. Japan did not do minimax. Yet they survived.
“An alternative to minimax is Bayesian, meaning according all relevant information its due weight. And then acting on that cumulative knowledge, not on the worst damn thing that could happen. This is not a do-nothing policy, but a do-only-what’s-likely-necessary policy.
“Minimax is effeminate. Our own country used to have hardier stock. Want proof?
“Who recalls the 1957-1958 flu pandemic? The CDC said the “estimated number of deaths was 1.1 million worldwide and 116,000 in the United States.”
“The 1968 pandemic? “The estimated number of deaths was 1 million worldwide and about 100,000 in the United States. Most excess deaths were in people 65 years and older.”
“The wimpy 2009 pandemic had nothing on these guys. “From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC estimated there were 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (range: 195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (range: 8868-18,306) in the United States due to the (H1N1)pdm09 virus” and “151,700-575,400” worldwide.
“We survived all these. We survived without martial law lite.
“Incidentally, those earlier death tolls are worse than they seem because the USA population was much less than now.
“Can you even imagine the apoplectic reaction our current leaders and populace would have to an outbreak like the 1957-1958 pandemic today? Hysteria isn’t in it.
“Want more evidence panic is official? Fellow names Aaron Ginn published a piece on Medium, “Evidence over hysteria — COVID-19“. Filled with the same kind of thing you get here, but in a lot more colorful detail, and citing all sorts of competent sources. Medium suppressed it. (The link is to an archive.org version.)
“My guess is the block is not because the report was inaccurate, which it doesn’t seem to be, but because of the fear of lawyers, which is justifiable. All it would take is some dumb citizen to say they read Ginn’s article, felt hopeful, went outside, and got the virus. The she sues. I, on the other hand, have no fear of lawyers, because I always wear a necklace of pure garlic.
