Exactly what I just finished doing.
Without a doubt,this pandemic put many things in perspective for me.
No mongering since shit got real (ok,a quick handie at an amp in Ft Lauderdale when I was on vacation the week before last.)
NY Governor deemed construction workers (me,driving construction related materials,union) "essential" ,but I understood that to be "expendable"- so I opted out, called HR and took a leave of absence "until they figure this shit out". Wife is working from home,we'll be at each other's throats by Wednesday, but she's diabetic and I cannot bring this thing into our home due to my negligence or greed. The same people telling me to work said the same thing during 9/11, "the air is safe".
I'm no economist, but while a 75% pay cut won't be good- losing my life would be worse.
Please be safe,guys.
Times of turmoil such as this defines one's character...
Christine Todd Whitman should be in prison.

I agree with Koondog. What D.T. said was the Democrats were weaponizing this virus against him, "..... just another hoax" (Russia collusion, Comey firing, Supreme Court hearings, Mueller Report, impeachment, ect. ect.).
Libs dont like to make distinctions. They just see a target and try to destroy it., and dont let things like facts get in the way.

Then how should I take it. That’s a blanket statement that shouldn’t be made. Women have come along way and are much more independent that prior generations.
Nobody said they arent. However traditional roles are that for a reason.

There is a reason why Women instinctively protect their children and husbands protect the Woman.

You could cry feminisim all you want.
It won't change that.

Always in skeptic, I try to look at things rationally and critically. It is highly plausible this COVID-19 health crisis could be a case of biological warfare, it is a fact that some developed countries have the capability to weaponize biological agents among them the USA, long history, long trajectory in this pursuit, not saying that the US could be behind all this but this possibility can't be ruled out, we will only know for sure in time as more information can be gathered and more dots gets connected. We can't look at a crisis like this from a health perspective only, we need to look at it integrally: socially, politically, economically and geopolitically, all are interrelated. Some will say ah no, the Chinese created this for blah, blah, but we gotta ask ourselves cui bono (who benefits) in a geopolitical context ?

"Chinese virologists discovered conclusively that the original source of the virus was not China, nor Wuhan, nor the seafood market, but had been traced to the US, a possible scenario being that the virus might have originated at the US Military’s bio-weapons lab at Fort Detrick (which was shut down by the CDC in July, because of outbreaks), and brought to China during the World Military Games in October 2019.
Also, Japanese and Taiwanese virologists arrived independently at the conclusion that the virus could have originated in the US.
The Americans did their best from before the beginning to deflect culpability by crafting tales of bats, snakes, pangolins, the seafood market, the Wuhan University being a bio-weapons facility (which it is not), and the CIA tale leaked through the VOA and Radio Free Asia that the virus leaked from that university. They stated (factually) that Chinese researchers had participated (7 years ago) in similar virus research funded by the US NIH, thus somehow insinuating Chinese culpability, ignoring that the prior research was irrelevant to current events.
I must say the Americans have proven to be very skillful in grabbing the microphone first, to create an “official” narrative of a current event while flooding the media with sufficient finger-pointing to preclude a gullible public the time to logically assemble the pieces on their own.
They ignored the very real fact that few nations would either create or release a biological weapon that attacks primarily itself. They ignored too, the geopolitical likelihood of an ”end game” – that a virus is a powerful weapon of economic warfare, able to do to China’s economy what a trade war could not do.
Casual readers tend to ignore the fact that, in the American mentality, there are many solid geopolitical reasons to attack China, Iran, and Italy, the remaining countries merely constituting unfortunate collateral damage."

"The US government and its many agencies and educational and health institutions, have for many decades conducted intensive research into biological warfare, in many cases strongly focused on race-specific pathogens.

In a report to the US Congress, the Department of Defense revealed that its program of creating artificial biological agents included modifying non-fatal viruses to make them lethal, and genetic engineering to alter the immunology of biological agents to make treatment and vaccinations impossible. The military report admitted that at the time it operated about 130 bio-weapons research facilities, dozens at US universities and others at many international sites outside the purview of the US Congress and the jurisdiction of the courts.
This knowledge hasn’t been a secret for a long time. In a classified 1948 report by the Pentagon’s Committee on Biological Warfare, the main selling point was that:
“A gun or a bomb leaves no doubt that a deliberate attack has occurred. But if … an epidemic slashes across a crowded city, there is no way of knowing whether anyone attacked, much less who”, adding hopefully that “A significant portion of the human population within selected target areas may be killed or incapacitated” with only very small amounts of a pathogen. (1) (2)​
A US Army operating manual from 1956 stated explicitly that biological and chemical warfare were an integral operating portion of US military strategy, were not restricted in any way, and that Congress had given the military “First Strike” authority on their use. In 1959, an attempt by Congress to remove this first-strike authority was defeated by the White House and bio-chemical weapons expenditures increased from $75 million to almost $350 million. That was an enormous amount of money in the early 1960s. (3)"

It’s not feminism it’s 2020 traditional roles are breaking down.Parents protect their kids and each person in a relationship protect each other. No roles are played. In Japan/Korea that’s still exits not so much in the U.S.

@Versao - I'll play along here. So before the decision is made to unleash this pandemic bioweapon, wouldn't it make sense to have the cure, antidote, vaccine (whatever term you want to use) developed and ready as well?

When you came across the line "Chinese virologists discovered conclusively that the original source of the virus was not China, nor Wuhan, nor the seafood market, but had been traced to the US, " should have been your first clue it was not something to take seriously.

From women who were my managers and other women that were senior to me who I didn’t directly report too ( Developed a business/friendship relationship) and my my circle of friends there is no dynamic of that.

Hypothetically, if one subscribes to your argument thus far (I'm not saying I do), if CV is targeting older populations, perhaps engineered to do so, what effects are achieved? In China and Iran, the number of older "hard-liners" is reduced/killed off in those countries, possibly giving more power to the younger generations, who are known to be more open to democracy and dialogue with the west. In the U.S., older Americans have the highest voter turnout of any age group, and the majority vote Republican. Their numbers are reduced. Meanwhile, the CV crisis has the added benefits of, first, putting a laser focus on the health care system, the issue that, by all accounts, won the midterm election for the Democrats, and, second, destroying the economy: the ONE issue that Trump could have rode to re-election.

In that case, this is not the U.S. government or military, rather "Deep State Actors". Hypothetically.

There was a guy in here who commented that he had gotten an AMP girl to give him a Faux BJ. The girl gets close and blows on his oiled pickle while slowly stroking it at the same time. Her mouth never comes in contact with his pecker. Definitely gives new meaning to the term, "Keeping A Safe Social Distance!"
