CORONA VIRUS PREPING

CORONA VIRUS PREPING - 03/03/20 01:08 AM

Saw on the other thread that people were stocking up on water, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, masks, etc.

Have you bought anything??

So far all I have bought was some hand sanitizer. I use it all the time prior to this outbreak so I don't really consider it a prep purchase. I was at Dollar Tree and saw they had a bunch so I picked up a few extra bottles just because I will probably be using it more often than before.

I have zero plans to purchase anything else. As long as the electricity doesn't go out I will be fine. If the electricity does go out I am going to have the mother of all fish frys and yall are all invited. No reason to let all that fish go to waste.

I like your idea for a fish fry.
If I have no electricity, I will also have a huge fish fry and bbq.

2 full freezers and the wife has enough stuff stashed we're probably good for a year! If the power stays out I'd have to go pick up my gas grill at the lease. The water hysteria really baffles me but if it gets shut off I have 16000 gallons of chlorinated H2O in the pool! And I recently acquired another 1k rounds of 223 and 6 more pmags.

I always have enough on hand that I could stay home for a couple of months with no issue. The only problem Id have is feeding the dogs after the first month. After that it would be squirrels and such for them.

Instead of wasting money and space stocking up on toilet paper, spend $35 and install a bidet on your toilet. Takes 5 minutes to install. Wont help if the water stops flowing but if we get to that point a couple rolls of toilet paper aren't going to make much different.

I went to Costco this weekend in Rockwall and it was extremely crowded. I asked the lady checking me out what was happening and she said it was people stocking up on food and water for the corona virus. She told me that Thursday the sold out of water in the store and they had been slammed since Thursday.

Well prepared. Remember when all the computers were going to crash the world New Year's Day 2000! Nothing happened. Got plenty ammo and if all else fails have axes, machetes, knives to make arrows for more primitive needs, know how to make fire, safe water, gather food, creeks have whites running, catfish and a Country Boy can survive.

I bought BBQ sauce today so they will taste better. They had plenty so I guess we are ahead of the game.


I actually did go to Wallymart for a few things. I took a walk around just to see if panic had set in yet after seeing some of the reports. Everyone was buying the obvious things but were doing so in moderation rather than wiping out entire shelves of things. Plenty of water, toilet paper, diapers, food, etc. Good to see people trying to prepare but not freaking out and maxing out credit cards.

You know it is the Health Experts (CDC, local gov offices) that set off the panic to "prepare for disrupted lifestyle"...Not the Media. Hawainan Gov I think it was said "prepare like a hurricane.." Next day shelves are cleared. So they are the ones driving the panic and everyone stocking up, not the media.

And I say probably a good thing, better the panic hit the fan now then later if/when this really gets serious.

LOL, I'm in Asia. Have been for the last 10 weeks. I have been dealing with the coronavirus since before it was ever reported in the US, the first reported case outside of China was here. I've seen the hysteria come and go, trust me. EVERYONE wearing masks, panic buying, don't touch anything, stay home from work, mandatory segregation, quarantine, temperature recorded 6 times a day, don't eat this, don't go there, etc etc......and now, oh it's not that bad after all. We're gonna be ok.

I'm getting on a plane and coming home this weekend, and now the hysteria and panic buying is starting at home. SMH.

Didnt the past administration help the NDAA to push to formally legalize the use of propaganda by the government on the American public?

Now Im not saying there is no virus , common sense says there is. What I am saying is the media is the enemy that keep us divided and in fear when ever they wish.

No it’s not. Maybe you should look up the definition of alternative. What we have now is what we have now. You may not like how the media market has evolved over the years, but it is what it is. The alternative would be for the government to step in take action to change what we have now. What are you suggesting they do?

carona virus blamed on Trump before the the current elections. They know they are in trouble. On national TV I am also hearing voter suppression in TEXAS. I called this yesterday when I noticed local news saying there were three times as many republican machines , compared to dem machines(THAT DOESNT EVEN MAKE ANY FREAKIN SENSE!!!!!)
I walked into my voting place and see the MIRROR OPPOSITE. Six or 7 staff members , to ONE republican staff member.
Back to the media, the media is the enemy and has been for many years. A lot of what we know are lies to keep us in the controlled box. I agree with guy , we all want honest media . I , unlike guy dont think we have it, he does. I think his , horrible alternative media is what we currently have. We are already there and have been for many years.

When you control the levers of news dissemination, you control the narrative.
Control of the narrative = power
When you are blind, what do you see?
They want you divided.
Divided by religion.
Divided by sex.
Divided by political affiliation.
Divided by class.
When you are divided, and angry, and controlled, you target those ‘different’ from you, not those responsible [controllers].
Divided you are weak.
Divided you pose no threat to their control.
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or stable [livestock kept – sheep].
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
THIS REPRESENTS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Go back and read my posts. All news is bias, you need to have the capacity to recognize it and pluck out the facts.

When companies do quarterly earnings calls with wallstreet, they put such a major bias positive spin on it. Do the stock analytics ignore it all? Nope, very important information to be had, you don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

It also helps sway elections



Yup...which is why they are reporting things the way they do....and not just the virus....everything....

carona virus blamed on Trump before the the current elections. They know they are in trouble. On national TV I am also hearing voter suppression in TEXAS. I called this yesterday when I noticed local news saying there were three times as many republican machines , compared to dem machines(THAT DOESNT EVEN MAKE ANY FREAKIN SENSE!!!!!)
I walked into my voting place and see the MIRROR OPPOSITE. Six or 7 staff members , to ONE republican staff member.
Back to the media, the media is the enemy and has been for many years. A lot of what we know are lies to keep us in the controlled box. I agree with guy , we all want honest media . I , unlike guy dont think we have it, he does. I think his , horrible alternative media is what we currently have. We are already there and have been for many years.

What happens when 90% of the media is controlled/owned by (6) corporations?
What happens when those same corporations are operated and controlled by a political ideology?
What happens when the news is no longer free from bias?
What happens when the news is no longer reliable and independent?
What happens when the news is no longer trustworthy?
What happens when the news simply becomes an extension/arm of a political party?
Fact becomes fiction?
Fiction becomes fact?
When does news become propaganda?
Identity creation?
How does the average person, who is under constant financial stress (by design), find time to research and discern fact v fiction?
Majority of people more prone to believe someone in power sitting behind a big brand ‘news’ name?
Do people [human psyche] tend to follow the ‘majority/mainstream viewpoint’ in fear of being isolated and/or shunned?
‘Mainstream’ is used for a reason [dominate trend in opinion].
[If majority of people believe ‘x’ then ‘x’ must be validated / true]
Why do ‘mainstream’ media heads, within different orgs, always use the same keywords and/or catch phrases?
Coordinated? By who? Outside entity providing instructions?
Do they count on the fact that people [human psyche] are more prone to believe something if heard over-and-over again by different ‘trusted’ sources?
Do ‘echo chamber’ tactics provide validation / credibility to the topic/point being discussed?
Threat to intellectual freedom?
Would control over[of] these institutions/organizations allow for the mass control of a populations viewpoint re: a desired topic?
Read again – digest.
Would control over[of] these institutions/organizations allow for the mass control of a populations viewpoint re: a desired topic?
Logical thinking.
Why, after the election of 2016, did [D]’s and media corps jumpstart a [coordinated & planned] divisive blitz intended to create falsehoods re: illegitimacy of election, character assassination of POTUS through sexism, racism, every other ‘ism’?
Pre/post 2016 election?
Why were violent [masked] terror orgs such as Antifa immediately created/funded?
Why were these orgs tasked w/ immediate intimidation/shut down of any pro-POTUS rally[s] and/or events?
Why were marches immediately organized to counter and silence pro-POTUS rally[s] and/or events?
Why were marches immediately organized which divided people into sex/gender, race, [ism]?

You and you're conspiracy fears. It's almost comical until you realize that people like you live amongst the normal folks. You and your ilk are the worst as far as spreading BS, yet you blame the media. Funny how you never mentioned Fox news. Doesn't fit your fake narrative, does it, Tin head?
