I see a modest death toll from the virus itself. More will die in panic and in fights due to shortages of supplies.
However, far worse is the communism that will ensue. How many people obeyed when they told everyone to not prepare for this, and then they obeyed again when they told everyone to start panicking. We had runs on hand sanitizer, toilet paper, Lysol, and basic food. Such as bread, vegetables, cereal, meat, grains, legumes--all obediently picked off on cue. I was "disobedient" because I started picking things off in late January through February, before there was even a shortage on anything.
Also, there are so many new buzzwords. "Social distancing"--that is totally meaningless. Staying 6 feet away from someone that is sick does no good if that person coughs of sneezes, touches something, and then you touch that same surface 10 minutes later. We even have curfews--what good does that do? The song "Afternoon Delight" describes how effective curfews are--why wait for the cold dark night when everything is clearer in daylight? Since when does coronavirus only spread between 10 PM and 7 AM? It can spread at 2 PM just as nicely.
And no, I don't believe that rubbish about "extra time to clean and restock". I work at a supermarket, and I know it does no good to have extra time to stock if the stuff doesn't come in. Sanitize, my eye. They do a lousy job sanitizing--about 80% of the surface could shelter a coronavirus or two the way they "clean(??)". Not to mention, if they reopen at 7 AM, all it takes is the first customer to come in, deposit coronavirus on a shopping cart handle (seems they never clean those during those "extra hours"), and the whole store can be infected in 15 minutes. And one doesn't have to be 60 or older to be at risk--someone that takes excellent care of their health and is in good condition can be at lower risk at 80 than someone that is 30, smokes 3 packs of cancer sticks a day, and doesn't even know what a vitamin pill is.
I think this is more brainwashing the public, and they are buying it. That, to me, is how they know they are ready for Noahide Law to be imposed in full. They simply state the sever Noahide Laws in the same way they are now stating the "rules" to "flatten the curve" (whatever that means--I would rather take my vitamins, get a little tiny coronavirus, and be done with it than keep 2 meters away from everyone, have everything sanitized (until the one time it isn't, and the slob I have to work with comes in contact with me or touches something I later have to touch), and then get a whopper.) And, in the case of the Noahide Laws, they state that "everyone is in imminent danger of going to hell unless we obey".
I am actually more afraid of Noahide Laws than of this virus. With enough of the vitamins I need, I should be able to fight off this virus (along with whatever others may come along on their own, and any bacterial infections). By disobeying and prepping through February instead of waiting until they give the cue, I avoided most of the product limits, shortages, and the fighting and panicking. But, will I be able to avoid Noahide Law? I don't think so.
