  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  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.

  I reckon getting it and living will innoculate you.

  The hospital is having to hide the masks because people were taking handfuls. Same questions otherwise. Several flu cases admitted each day. Ni coivid19 yet

  Recommended Reading for ExJWs: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

  by Jehalapeno in

  first off, this is a book you want to read.

  avoid the movie franchise at all costs.

  horrible movies.. here's why i recommend this book: its prime focus is using rational reasoning to form your life philosophy - whether that be relationships, career or faith.. it also gives insight into the mind of someone who survived the geopolitical equivalent of the jws - the communist regime of stalin.. the antagonists of the book are referred to as "collectivists".

  It is fiction. Some people quote it like a historic document, but a story line is manipulated to fit a scenario real life has messy nuances that cant be written out.

  Sarajevo tells the tale. Nobody survived alone. It took teamwork and hard ( perhaps immoral ) decisions.

  The washing the streets in full ebola gear tells me this isnt the flu.

  So far we have extra vitsmins, pet food canned stuff and a gallon of bleach.

  We got the letter yesterday, word for word same as the German translation. Only thing I noted is a mention of giving out the secret phone patch number

  Remember Those in Full-Time Service (1945 - 2015)

  the saddest story ever told.

  despite being childhood sweethearts, in the year 1941 they decided to postpone marriage and remain single and childless in this system so as to put the the theocracy first, albeit under the control of the watch tower society.. in the final pages of the children book john and eunice walk silently through the fields and stop by a great tree on the river bank where they had sometime before discussed their future plans.

  the young lovers seat themselves down and look over the landscape.

  They just knocked spock. Better to follow advice from non parents who never had a job. He gave good advice on diseases and he DID advocate spanking, but not knocking noses bloody in the back of the hall. Speaker just said to seek a doctor for medical issues then thee wt comment said not to. 50 years ago we did not have an internet to look up rashes.

  Noahs sons didnt have children before the flood but the bible does not say why. Could be low sperm count from trying too much, wrong hole, or a child bride. Or story massaged to fit

  A surprise pregnancy was the way out for missionaries. There are bonus babies too.

  It is not in the bible that Noah's sons did not have children because the flood was coming. Maybe poor seed, trying too hard ( decreased sperm), or wufe was betrothed at 3.

  Assh s just knocked spock. Way BBC wtter to follow advice from a non parent who never had a job. Spock gave good advice on diseases and offered spanking in proper light--- not knocking into a bloody nose with a bible in back if the hall.

  Greta Thunberg, Worse than Plague

  so greta thunberg thinks the world pollutes too much.

  specifically, the parts of the world that pollute the least and have the cleanest industries.

  she doesn't seem to care about india or china who are the biggest polluters by far.. "how dare they".

  Has anyone studied the climate in past ages? What did the huge rebound from the ice sheets do to the land, ecology, and people?

  Awareness is important, but so is a realistic view of what can be done and where that leads
