I will give you one guess which country is the world's largest producer of human vaccines?

China

The media machine is powerful.  This is a good test though of are you and your emotions a sheep to the powerful media machine or not.

Connect the dots and use critical thinking, it's pretty obvious to figure out when for the last 30 years we've been sending jobs to and financing China's economy at our expense with hardly a peep from the globalist run media.  Recently that changed some.

Financial markets would sniff through all that.  They'd ferret out the truth.

see, this is where unnecessary divisions are created-"crackpot" ?    when people believe different from you, it's "crackpot"?  we've already established that you're background is "biomedical sciences"  'nuff said,   stay in your lane so all of us can drive safe

  the media isn't conventional wisdom

out of bad comes good/improved.  if one does not learn from their mistakes, they are doomed, lucky if they are able to repeat them.  this is our opportunity to grow a pair and take back control of our own destiny.

not official yet, but only family would be allowed to attend.  My son is supposed to play in a sectional semi tonight and i will be honest it is real hard to get excited about it at this point.

Lol. It’s a crackpot theory. Sorry if that offends you.

"globalist"

When someone tells you who they are, believe them. Even if they tell you with words that give them plausible deniability.

However one feels about whether this whole situation is overblown or not being treated seriously enough, I think we can all agree that this is an example of how not to handle things.

One of the bigger junior volleyball tournaments of the year is/was scheduled to start today in Denver. In typical years, it would probably have 700 teams or so. Last night at about 9:00 USAV "recommended" that all events be cancelled or postponed. The tournament is sanctioned by USAV, but each of these big qualifying tournaments is owned/operated by an independent entity. At approximately midnight, the tournament released a statement indicating that in spite of USAV's recommendation, they were going forward. This was done with the understanding that many people would be traveling today, and to let them know to feel free to come. My immediate reaction was to think that they were setting up the worst possible scenario -- people will travel there and then they'll have to cancel it. Less than six hours later (5:30 AM) they reversed course and cancelled. I suppose it's better than cancelling later in the day, but still a problem as many people already were on their way.

Making matters worse, they announced the cancellation on Facebook but their website still had last night's notice until very recently.

Stop with the hand sanitizer craze, mkay?

https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2020/3/11/21173187/coronavirus-covid-19-hand-washing-sanitizer-compared-soap-is-dope

.. there’s one consumer product critical to our great national battle to “flatten the curve,” or slow the epidemic: soap. Humble, ancient, cheap, effective soap.

Sanitizer might feel like a modern-day, scientific, and more clinical upgrade to soap. But I’m here to tell you that soap — all sorts of it: liquid, solid, honeysuckle-scented, the versions inexplicably only marketed to men or women — is a badass, and even more routinely effective than hand sanitizer.

How'd you like to be THIS guy?  Patient Zero in Seattle.  Comes back from Wuhan, and fast forward 28 days, the virus he transported has killed 18 so far.   

That's a lot of emotional baggage.

Our State tournament is scheduled to start 5/1.  I give it a 25% chance to happen at this point, i.e., we'll be over the worst of it and travel and crowds will start to go back to normal.  I suspect it is more likely sometime this summer that that actually happens.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.
