Dark Man Cometh???

I  read Japan plans to close all schools and I also  read those sneaky Canadians are working on a vaccine,cant be true they have social healthcare.

 Personally I will stay away from public place as much as possible,even though I had a flu shot.

 My personal financial advisor moved us into the 2 B's, banks and bonds,well Canadian banks,She did this back in Oct. and while it did cost us some,we are way up and havent lost a dime as of yet.

I'm sure a lot of people are working on a vaccine right now.    We will get one, but it might take a while.

I'm sure this isn't what you meant, but to make sure it is clear for others, the current season flu shot has no effectiveness against COVID-19.  Of course, even the regular flu is something to consider.

I like that they put some caveat on the use of masks.  I think they are a talisman that people are grabbing onto like a religious icon, thinking it will keep them safe.  They won't hurt, but they are not the most important protection unless you are getting packed in nose-to-nose with people in public transportation. 

By far, like several orders of magnitude, you higher risk vector is your hands.  Wash often.  Carry some Purel.  Get a box or two of those disposable nitrile gloves for if things get really bad. 

Keep some salt and sugar on hand.  If you get really sick, it you can make an effective homemade re-hydration solution (even if you don't have diarrhea  just an excellent cheap re-hydration): https://rehydrate.org/solutions/homemade.htm

As much physical isolation as you can arrange is your best prophylactic.


The next risk is what is this going to do to the market and economy over the next year. 

Move theaters?

Restaurants?

Malls?

Sporting events?

Non-essential shopping?

Airline travel?

Hotel/resort?

Holiday shopping?  (30% of retail revenue)

Disruption of supply-chain?  Manufacturing grinding to a halt.

Even if we hopefully keep the death rate low, think of the massive overload of our healthcare system.  Think of the effect on the health insurance industry taking a massive, totally unforeseen hit on payouts like hasn't been seen in generations. All the companies, all at once. You think they have the reserves to cover that?  How many will go belly up and leave people in hospital beds uninsured?


All these and more taking a hit simultaneously?

Market cresting at the tip top of an exuberance wave.  Way over priced.
Central banks with fat ledgers and no ammo to fight a massive downturn other than negative rates (which I'm not sure would even be legal in this country.)

Ya I imagine those sneaky Canadians as well as lots of other sneaky Scientists, Doctors and Microbiologists worldwide are burning the midnight oil to find a vaccine. And all those honest politicians are lining up to provide the resources they need to get it done.

What happened to the Ebola vaccine and funding? What happened to the Zika vaccine and funding?

Billions of dollars disappearing into the wind. We should have already had them... what are all these colleges and research facilities doing? What a joke. They get gullible low information sheep and scare the piss out of them while they laugh their tulips off shorting the market.

Who benefits?

Why did the gates foundation literally have a meeting on a Corona virus outbreak 4 months ago? why did UN military games happen in Wuhan on the same exact day as gates meeting? Wtf is a "military game" anyway?

All of this is planned. It was even written word for word in a Dean Kootz novel called "The eyes of darkness". literally predicting it would happen in year 2020.

When the vaccine comes around, I think you should stand on principal and refuse to take it.

It's probably just a mind control drug anyway.

(cough) ... we have been actually. We are working on one for COVID-19.    China has been accused of pressuring the WHO not to declare COVID-19 as a pandemic.

If we did find a vaccine, we would make it free, again, like we did for Ebola. The benefits of a socialist country with free health care? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's "free" (and takes forever with 0 specialist) you just have to pay for it out of your paycheck every month for the rest of your life. Woot woot!

According to Lawrence Pulaski, a licensed pediatrician from New York City who spoke in support of the bill, he  said that “science has changed,” and that “we are told with certainty that science has been done efficiently on vaccine safety, but yet if we read the ingredients in the vaccines, we will find that the ingredients have never been tested for injection of vaccines into human beings – children or adults.” He went on to say that “most of the ingredients are toxic and can enter the brain and lead to concerns that we are seeing in our children today. Our children have the highest number of chronic diseases of any country in the world.” He backed this up with the following statistics:

1 in 5 have learning disabilities
1 in 10 diagnosed with ADD or ADHD
1 in 11 diagnosed with asthma
1 in 12 with significant allergies
1 in 35 with autism
1 in 20 under the age of 5 with seizures

“Something is happening to the nervous system and the immune systems of our children, and the powers that be continue to insist that vaccine ingredients have nothing to do with these challenges that we are seeing in children,” Pulaski said


Dr. James Neuenschwander, from Ann Arbor, Michigan, a 30-year physician who is duly board certified in both emergency and integrative medicine, caring for chronically ill adults and children, blew the lid off the testing and safety issues surrounding vaccines. “With the exception of a small number of participants in one Gardasil trial, no vaccine has ever been subjected to a prelicensure, inert, placebo controlled trial. This is the gold standard of medicine. Without it, you don’t know what the side effects of your product are,” said Neuenschwander. He went on to state, “If vaccines were truly great at maintaining public health, we should have the healthiest infants and children in the entire world. We vaccinate more than any other industrialized nation in the entire world. But when we evaluate those outcomes, unfortunately, the opposite is true. Our pediatric rate of chronic diseases rose from 12% in 1986 up to over 50% in 2007. Mandates are a last ditch effort by a government to control its population. If vaccines were truly safe and effective, people would be lining up for them. There would be no reason to have mandates. If parents are not willing to accept a product for which there is no long term safety studies, they were poorly tested for approval, and have no liability, they should have that right.”

Rant rant rant....

So I take it you will refuse the Corona vaccine, right?

i grew up poor eating beans and rice for years. there will be hell to pay if I'm spending my last days eating rice and beans.

Cpt,you're correct and I know the flu shot doesnt help with corona.It's just that many refuse to get a flu shot for whatever hairbrained idea. I'm a frequent flyer at the local hospital and if you dont want to be masked and where a gown you need a flu shot,they even give you this cute little card that you can flash at them when you dont have a mask on.

   I wonder who shorted the markets before all this scare tactics took off,someones making big money of this crash.

  You say that but I bet you get taxes taken out of your paycheck too. I know you've been told Canuks pay huge taxes,it's not true but you've been told.

  Oh and ya there's no specialist in Canada,the one I see tomorrow doesnt really live here,he's a figment of my imagination.

Oh, it's absolutely a good idea for everyone.  I keep meaning to do it each year.  The older you get, the more dumb it is to skip it. 

I've been slowly transitioning to cash of the last couple of years.  I know excessive exuberance when I see it. I've seen it before. 

Of course, know one could have predicted a pandemic.  But it was becoming clear the market was like a group of fire jugglers practicing amoungst barrels full of dynamite.  You can't predict exactly which juggler, would drop which flaming torch, into which barrel, but it was clear to anyone with eyes things were primed to end badly.  (stolen analogy)

I plan to buy back in much cheaper than it is today.  People never learn.  "This time is different!" never proves true.

Heh hehh.  Thanks funny, isn't it?

That's exactly where I got it too.

I was pondering that or 13thMonkey.
