Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Surgeon general warning!

Who are the biggest Trump supporters? a clue, small business owners...... see how the dots connect? can you say agenda? hello

And a lot big ones too.

I went to the store the other day. People were six feet apart in the line. Some were wearing masks. I thought, this is like a ridiculous movie.

And it all came about because our government lies. I have zero respect for the two doctors and the third one who is the surgeon general.
They use the same type of thinking as the climate changers: LIBERAL!

I am a small business owner and business has sucked under Trump.


I will vote for him again.


I think we are taking steps to protect the economy....not destroy it.

If this is Pearl Harbor or 9/11 who are we going to war with? China? Italy? We need to kick someones ass, right?

Has this whole thing been a major over reaction? I dont know. Maybe. No one can agree.



I happen to have more faith in the country though.


If this quarantine kills us.....fugg.....what would happen if something really serious happened?



Canada invades for instance? Oh well........start practicing now.



Oh, Canada........our something and native land......

As am I Jim, ours was finally getting back to 'pre-Obama' levels[profitable] and now WTF knows where we'll end up?
We're doing 1/6 of our normal business and March-June is our profitable time.
Not happening this year.

Hmm, I just know enough, to know I don't know anything. The world economy is in the tank however.

Jim, when you live under depression conditions, when the depression comes to your front door , it's like what's the difference .... eh

Well, in respect to your situation Reaford....we never really noticed the 08 disaster.


We signed on for the Trade War because we believed that China was killing us.


I think we need to do what ever it takes to wean ourselves off of China commie tit.


If that means an economic reboot.....well....we already signed on for the Trade war as I said.



They are gonna open up South America any time now cause they are out of hamburger..........




I guess am just selfish, but all my friends are in the high risk category and if I can help keep them healthy I will.

I live in a dem state, surrounded by farmers and blue collar people - typicals that generationally vote Dem. We all talk - not a single one of them blames their current economic situation on Trump, not to the negative. They all blame it on an act of God - the bug, so to speak.

Some are starting to turn on our governor which is good - he's a tool and all frustration I've seen here - it's all localized, not national in scope.

For sure.


We were talking about it yesterday...Dad and I.



We are poor AF out here. The whole area mostly.




My kids can go outside and ride their bikes or horses. We can step outside and shoot wildly in every direction.



I cant imagine being in a big city and staring at the wall of your apartment. Kids cant go to the park because its locked down.



Jims own personal level of hell that would be.




So weirdly...we are broke...but not suffering near as much as others. Lucky.




Half the fugging country is high risk...........Folks in Sweden are saying the NR article is BS. They are pretty well shut down.


I cant make up my mind as fast as you guys I guess!

I am remaining optimistic, but I'm not doing a victory dance just yet.

Yesterday was over 1900 deaths in this country. Worse day so far for the body count.

If the other large cities follow NYC/NJ, we still have some tough time ahead.

I do hope we have made a difference though, and sooner than later, we can get this country back up and running with a full head of steam.

Amen.

The China flu is turning into a hurricane.

When hurricanes come ppl stop. Board up windows. Stock up. Then it changes course. Then next one to come, folks are then why bother?


If if happens again far less ppl with be apt to shut down and shelter in place.

Rest assured that I am not doing anything that would intentionally harm anyone-I'm following the 6' rule, washing hands, grocer once weekly etc but I will not be wearing a mask[even though I now catch the stink eye at the post office etc]
I have active vibrant parents that are 83 & 84 and MIL is 80, we call only to check in daily.

100% on board with getting off of the China tit!

Exactly right '''Trump isn't going to get the blame'''' , he's did the best he could to balance what came his way .

Trumps poll numbers are rising , he is looking like a leader.......
So the left needs to extend the crisis until it hurts Trump.....

We have not gotten through this yet. If we stop all of the precautions too soon this is where we will be.

Why the Second Wave of the Coronavirus Could be Worse Than the First
March 13, 2020 by Bunker Bob

The Coronavirus Won’t Go Away for Good
The coronavirus is dragging the world into a recession. Travel bans, celebrity infections, and declining stock prices are sending people into a state of panic. Efforts to contain the spread are stepping up, as more rapid tests are being developed and administered. The pharmaceutical industry is doing everything it can to develop a vaccine. That said, the process of testing and ensuring the safety of a vaccine takes months. So, the coronavirus isn’t going away any time soon.

Evidence suggests the coronavirus is seasonal. The warmer months may offer us reprieve from the chaos. South American countries like Argentina and Chile have a very low case count, since they’re at the tail end of summer. As the first wave tapers out through April and June, we should not grow complacent. The coronavirus is too easily transmitted to go away for good. If we refer to history for guidance, we’ll find that a virus’s second wave can be worse than the first. Let’s turn to the Spanish Flu to see what we might expect from the coronavirus.

The Second Wave of the Spanish Flu Was Deadlier Than the First
The Spanish Flu of 1918 was caused by the H1N1 virus. More lives were lost to the pandemic than there were second waveto World War I. As many as fifty million people, including 675,000 Americans, died over the course of two years. The second wave, which occurred in the fall of 1918, was especially deadly. The virus originally surfaced in an army base in Kansas. While highly contagious, mortality rates were comparable to those of the seasonal flu. That all changed as troops deployed to Europe spread a mutated virus to England, France, Spain, and Italy.

The mutated H1N1 virus was far deadlier. It was also indiscriminate. Young, middle aged, and the elderly were all at risk of contracting the Spanish Flu. With medical personnel on the battlefield, there were fewer healthcare workers to care for the sick. These days, healthcare is far superior to what it was during the early 20th century. However, we’re clearly incapable of preventing a pandemic. Can we avoid the grim reality that befell those contending with the Spanish Flu?

The Virus Will Kick Us While We’re Down
We’re seeing what an invisible pathogen can do to the economy. Over a trillion dollars has been wiped from the stock market. Central banks are doing what they can to stem the bleeding. I’m confident that we’ll get through this. What scares me, though, is that when life appears to be returning to normal, the second wave will hit. I don’t expect we’ll experience the same level of panic as we are during this first wave. However, the failure to sustain a recovery can send the world into an even deeper recession. How far down is the bottom? I don’t know, but we’re going to endure a lot of pain as we find out.

A Vaccine Is Our Only Hope of Killing It
second waveHow can we finally put the coronavirus in the rear-view mirror? Pharmacological intervention. A vaccine is the only way we can get rid of COVID-19 for good. Again, the coronavirus is too easily transmissible to disappear after this year’s flu season. We need the pharmaceutical industry to eliminate COVID-19 the same way it eliminated smallpox, polio, and the measles. Yes, I understand that those casting doubt on the efficacy of vaccines are leading to a resurgence in otherwise extinct diseases, but I won’t touch upon this here. Funding and research partnerships are needed to accelerate the pace at which this vaccine is developed. Then, and only then, can we feel confident moving passed COVID-19.

Be Prepared to Ride the Second Wave
How do you prepare for the second wave? You should do many of the same things that you’re doing now. Practice good hygiene, engage in social distancing measures, and stock up on essentials. Additionally, you should be preparing financially. I’ve previously discussed the importance of frugality. The coronavirus is a prime example of why it’s so important to be frugal. Identify side hustles that can help diversify your income streams. If you can, continue contributing to your emergency fund. I imagine many of us are staying at home and cutting down on spending. Bank that money for the second wave. Job losses will happen, so it’s important we do what we can from becoming too exposed to the pressures yet to come.

I’d hate to see my readers come up for air, only to be knocked back down by the second wave. Prepare yourself now. Otherwise, you may be washed away with others who thought the worst was over. If history serves as a guide, the troubles are only just beginning.
