Re: One of two possible scenarios remain. Neither are good - My current Covid19 assessment
I am a follower of Christ, and my view of the end times are somewhat different, so while I can’t totally rule out #2, I will take a watch and see approach.

What gets my attention is that the surveillance state we know as CRC lost control, and that is remarkable. This will bolster the non-socialists in our own country, cementing the never socialism/communism voice. It will also point to what we have that is out of control, and that is reliance on outside manufacturing. For those of you who are well, now is the time to start that manufacturing company that you have been dreaming of.

I can’t predict what will happen with the Coronavirus, but we will learn some much needed lessons the hard way.

Spend your time praying for the lost and being bold with your non-believing acquaintances. Also pray for the people who would be at increased risk of dying from the virus. The end will come when it comes.

scenario 3.

it's all fake news coming out of China

because NYC was supposed to have been wiped out by now

instead there is even more traffic on the streets and the stores shelves are all filled

0 deaths in all of NY

clearly it was a Chinese false used to stop the Hong Kong protest! if people haven't been dropping dead on the streets of America, it points more and more the a Chinese false flag and nothing else

Scenario 4 -" Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." China is a stupid place, with a stupid government, filled with stupid people. To varying degrees, that is the same for every country on Earth.

The world wasn’t quite ready for an anti-Christ to come out and control the global chaos.

Enter Corona Virus- chaos ensues. Countries shutting down, economies tanking. Not quite chaotic enough yet, but it’s not too hard to imagine a scenario where things could get really biblical really fast.
Revelation makes it pretty clear that vast numbers of humanity will be dead even before the halfway mark of Revelation.

I’ve studied prophecy for years, and yet a viral scenario kinda through me for a loop. Hadn’t really considered that option, but here we are.


Any of you of faith have a bizarre feeling like the global reaction to this doesn’t quite match up to what you’re seeing? Sometimes I feel like I’m watching from a different set of eyes.

I am going with the Biblical prophetic on this one. Get ready folks! FAITH is more contagious than FEAR! God is getting ready to raise up His Army and bring in the Final Harvest! I pray the hearts of the lost will be softened in this judgment to receive Him quickly!

In the meantime, the Spirit and the Bride say "COME, LORD JESUS!"
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9

Re: One of two possible scenarios remain. Neither are good - My current Covid19 assessment
Within a month this entire virus thing will be receding and life will go on as usual and people will ask why there was such a panic and how we should respond to this in the future considering the economic panic it caused. I think I agree with Trump on this, if china is already shutting down all of their makeshift hospitals because they aren't being used then this virus isn't nearly as bad as they were claiming
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78032096


Life, perhaps not 100 % in Wuhan, is getting back to normal in China. I work in logistics. All of my Chinese colleagues returned back to work last week, be it Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Ningbo, Qingdao, Beijing. Only Wuhan is still doing home office and
still disruption in that area.

Otherwise the production sites of our import clients are back to work. Maybe a bit understaffed, say 80% back. I have personally arranged air freight shipments to China, from China the past two weeks. Air freight is very high in demand and rates have doubled.

In additon containers are being loaded or have already left various ports. Tons of news bookings coming in.

So my daily work life (mainly only import ex China) is actually back to normal. In April it is going to boom. Carriers are already saying that the rates will more than double.

Now, as I live in Germany, anxious to see what will happen here.

Personally, I'm leaning towards bioweapon or testing the waters for the NWO.

You guys think too much and let your minds wander too far.

We do not know what really happened in China - but can safely assume it was worse than reported and reasonably assume far worse.

Italy is blowing up fast - too early to tell how bad. Older population. It may be closer to the USA as far as demographics and ignorance so I am watching them more closely.

I don't believe the Chinese numbers, but I also don't think there are millions of dead there.

The timing of the virus is too convenient for the globalists / deep state, therefore it was probably released on purpose.

The virus will die down by summer time, and then come back in the fall/winter, peaking in early Spring next year. By that time the vaccine will have been rushed to completion, and people will be lining up for it due to fear / hysteria.

Number 2.

I’m 60. Since I was a little kid, I have always wondered how the mark of the beast would ever come about. I have always wondered about “the generation that wouldn’t pass away until Jesus returned. My dad is a WW2 veteran and wonders why he is still hanging on... I tell him all the time that he is part of that generation.

Say what you want but open your eyes. The prophecies are being fulfilled right before our eyes. We are living in a lawless society. Good is bad and bad is good. Everything has been turned upside down and twisted.

You can make fun of me all you want. Doesn’t bother me because I know who my Savior is and I know where I’m going. Do you?

If today He knocks on your door, harden not your heart.

Re: One of two possible scenarios remain. Neither are good - My current Covid19 assessment
I began to think about this as a free man, someone who observes the world around him and can make judgements based off what he knows and has learned while her for more than 48 years.

What I came up with are the only two logical scenarios. If you think I’m wrong, or crazy so be it, but give me some reasons for your judgement. This is based off hours of reading and listening to information wherever I could find it, both factual and prophetic. The scenarios are also based on logic and what I know of human nature, and communist practices.

Scenario 1: We have been lied to from the start. Millions are dead in China, the world’s leaders (and I use the term very loosely) covered this up from the first few deaths, knowing it was a bioweapon. They shut down video, used the massive tracking network across social media to control the massive panic which would have ensued. Country by country we are finding out how bad it is and locking down cities, quarantining everyone.

Getting the rest of the world slowly, almost quietly ready for what might be coming their way, while at the same time giving vague details about what the outbreak is like, just enough to cause concern, but not panic. Why would countries lock down cities for 3000 dead, or 10,000? Especially, Why would China do that? For their people? A communist country. Really? Read any history on what they have done in the millions to their own people? Do you Really think they would care if a few people caught a bad possibly fatal illness? Nope this is BIG. Its wiping out whole cities and industry. Just think about how much money they are losing every day, just for Apple. There is no way in HELL China jeopardizes a relationship with Apple over 3,000 people. tHINK! The goal? Population control. Beginning of a new world order exactly how they want it.

Scenario 2: The Biblical connection. This is my favorite scenario. Perhaps its because I’ve studied biblical prophecy since Ive been 15. So, in this scenario, the numbers out of Wuhan and the rest of the world are correct. This is a manufactured bioweapon to scare all the sheep and get us all to hide inside and not go to work while the NWO crowd crashes the economy so it can link the vaccine to a brand new currency, because money is dirty, even cards are a thing of the past. Your whole wallet will be on an implanted chip along with all your passwords, your medical history, credit history, debit, credit cards, store cards ect. We have all been conditioned from the start for this. Apple set up the infrastructure for this. (Symbol, garden of eden apple with a bite taken out. Wisdom separate from God. Take the bite) So go home, stay home be a good little sheep, don't panic, watch Netflix and Hulu, and make a party out of it. We will have things back up and running in no time, and by the way, if you don't WANT to take the new wonder vaccine, you won’t be allowed to buy or sell anything, your kids cant go to school, you can’t do anything that requires money. You are done. Fight or die. Hopefully this is also when Christ comes back and kicks some ass.

Anything is possible, but if it was a bioweapon all aircraft carriers would be out to sea and armies peeping for WW3.

I think scenario 2 makes more sense.

This is much more about money and NWO implementation than saving lives or even preventing the spread of the disease. The virus is a scapegoat for the collapsing world money system and a great excuse for global organizations to step up and take control.

I think things will get much worse before Jesus comes back and kicks some ass...but at this point, that's about our only hope.

Bio-engineering, maybe, it's definite possibility IMO.

However, not a bio-weapon, more like a virologist's "tool". The whole concept of "Gain of function" is real, it's also very dangerous as I suppose all work in virology is, but this area of research is one of the most dangerous.

This paper explains it well and if you accept what the writers are saying? It fills in a lot of blank spaces.

Well, I don't like either of those scenarios, because in scenario #1, I die from disease, and in scenario #2, I die from war or slavery.

So I'll propose scenario #3

The workers were getting antsy in Wuhan, protesting and fighting, and they were getting antsy in Hong Kong...and Taiwan.

So here's the deal. No one wants to support slavery or oppression, but we know that's what Chinese factory workers are basically living under.

But that's where we get our cheap shit. AND, that's also the country we have a massive trade deficit with, so we're pretty much under their thumb.

So, our government is 'taking one for the team' while China kills off all their dissidents and teaches the uppity Bourgeois a lesson about protesting against the great CCP.

They bury all the bodies, we blame coronavirus for the 150,000 deaths per a day that happen around the rest of the world, and everything goes back to normal when it gets warm in the Spring.

Just like Trump said.

Maybe they wipe a little off our debt sheet in return.

But why would Italy help you say?

"In 2017, Italy's trade surplus fell to EUR 47 billion from a record high of EUR 50 billion in the previous year, as imports jumped 9 percent to EUR 401 billion, the highest level since 2011, and exports rose at a softer 7 percent to an all-time high of EUR 448 billion. The biggest trade surpluses were recorded with the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Poland and Japan; and the biggest trade deficits with China, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Russia."


So, there's still a couple of scenarios there where fuckery is afoot and maybe we get to live if it doesn't drive us into outright war.

But in truth, all of these scenarios suck. I'm not ok with genocide either and especially not if my government is complicit. This would be one helluva crime.

But I don't know. I'm actually worried that it could be real. I'm worried about people I love getting ill.

It's stressful, and becoming harder by the day to resist.

Re: One of two possible scenarios remain. Neither are good - My current Covid19 assessment
You guys think too much and let your minds wander too far.

We do not know what really happened in China - but can safely assume it was worse than reported and reasonably assume far worse.

Italy is blowing up fast - too early to tell how bad. Older population. It may be closer to the USA as far as demographics and ignorance so I am watching them more closely.

scenario 3.

it's all fake news coming out of China

because NYC was supposed to have been wiped out by now

instead there is even more traffic on the streets and the stores shelves are all filled

0 deaths in all of NY

clearly it was a Chinese false used to stop the Hong Kong protest! if people haven't been dropping dead on the streets of America, it points more and more the a Chinese false flag and nothing else

Scenario 4 -" Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." China is a stupid place, with a stupid government, filled with stupid people. To varying degrees, that is the same for every country on Earth.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29238680


Chinese think they are smarter than they really are. Which shows how stupid they really are.
