this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.
re--UK lockdown.
i was talking onlinea couple of weeks ago to a member of a very different forum..this guy is a real computer geek. he ran a computer model of death numbers in the UK if there was no lockdown or intervention. he calculated there would have been between 200 and 400 thousand deaths--by then.
so, if you expect to find 'saints' with halos, you will never find real christians.. after over 30 years of being a jw, there are many things about the org that disturb me- yet no one else even acknowledges the only true god, as jesus referred to him.. not a 'they' or 'them' ('trinity')- but him!and he has always had the name jehovah (yehovah in hebrew)- even though the koine greek had no version of it when the nt was written.. so among the many things real christians have to endure- is often each other!

For that they should pay, with money and blood.
world war 3 anyone ?
what happened to all those new printing presses?
the wt said they were going to double the amount of mag's every month.
i wonder what ever happened.
jehovah doesnt use money. he created everything. if he wanted to--he could write a message in the sky for all to see.
however, a self appointed "conservative christian sect ( what ?? ) " claiming to be his sole channel of communication with mankind will have to make do with machines and paper.
since this virus, i have noticed that nearly all of the take out joints in my area are closed.

my wife is filipina--and a very good cook.
what more could a man want?
with many people's jobs been put and "on hold" and other people's jobs going away for good, i couldn't help but think about all the different jobs i've had over the years.
i have been able to adapt and make do.
maybe this will kick in again....or maybe not.

"In 2012 OPC timeshare"
ha haa--i'm one of the few on here that know what that means.
i sold timeshare in 1991 /2 in florida, lanzarote, and wales --all from offsite offices in torquay and winchester UK. i was quite good at it.
