Cabin Fever: Things That Make You Go Hmmm

Or ... frogs in a pot of water that’s near the boiling point.

Thanks Catnip!

You have such an uncanny way of saying EVERYTHING that is on my mind. I can't stay focused enough to get it out like you do. Thanks for all of your great posts.
Too many concussions I think lol

Refuse To Obey Governmental Demands or Commands.

Force Concessions From The Government.

Civil disobedience has been a major tactic and philosophy of nationalist movements in Africa, India, the American civil rights movement, labor, anti-war, and other social movements in many countries.

Civil disobedience is the most effective form of rebellion.

Stand Up Against Oppression Now.


DISOBEY

Succinct and Excellent summary, OP.

Bonus points for calling your keyboard an "importunate escritoire". We are not keyboard warriors, but Escritoire Valkyries.

Thank you very much SerenaSeesAll.

I believe that many of us have pondered these same questions. But, as I was compiling this personal list (and related data) in the first couple of posts and the FBT which you highlighted, I wondered if folks would read it and reply.

It’s very heartening and reassuring to see these thoughtful answers and favorable replies.

I made some business decisions in early January based on what I deduced might transpire in the coming weeks. As it turns out, these actions saved one of my companies. Nonetheless, this has turned out to be far more deleterious than I dared to even imagine at the time.

Moreover, back in January when I revealed to folks what I thought might unfold, most responded with “What? No way.” or something similar. In February when folks broached the topic with me, they typically added “This is crazy!” By March, the common question posed was “When will this all be over?” Sadly, we may all be asking that same question for many more weeks.

Forget cabin fever. Just can't wait for our new tracking apps so that Google and Apple can know exactly who we meet and when.

You know that seedy bar you used to visit? Google and Apple will know about it. I just read about it on another thread.

Tracked like fucking cattle. Knowing our every move. None of their fucking business, pandemic is an excuse to implement this shit.

I'm about to ditch my smartphone and buy a flip phone.

Indeed. We may be on the brink of The Great Frog Rebellion.

Thank you Bir Yaqub! And...

It’s 5g, the digital poisoning of the masses..
Change my mind...

Thanks El Capo!

I wonder if the hollowing out of our medical system was the main desired effect.

it is here

Well ... Alphabet Searching and Spying (A.S.S.), a.k.a. Google, is already a major power broker.

From what I’ve read, it may well factor into all of this craziness.

It may well have been part of one of the nefarious subplots by TPTB.

I remember vaguely about a study when I was in high school in the 70s, about what causes pimples in teenagers. And the study said chocolate and pizza, basically. Well, it didn’t take long for them to come back, I guess after sales of chocolate and pizza took a bit of a dive, and they said diet has no effect on pimples.

Years later the grain industry wanted to promote eggs as high cholesterol. Eggs have a lot of cholesterol but when you leave out pertinent information like

your stomach breaks down cholesterol and you don’t hardly get any from the eggs,

and your liver produces roughly one gram of cholesterol per day which you need for hormones,

and cholesterol is bad when it gets oxidized so you need more antioxidants,

then it’s not important that eggs have a lot of cholesterol.

But the cereal companies wanted people having more cereal for breakfast instead of eggs.

Ironically, grains are much worse for you than eggs.

Drug companies pay tv companies a lot for advertising and I’m sure they don’t advertise on channels that promote healthful advice that really works.

We’re on our own. I imagine eventually they’ll censor the internet and/or stop sales of supplements.

Musings of a mad man - as an arms dealer, I'm considered an essential employee, so I'm forced to go to work every day (to be perfectly honest, I'd rather sit at home and read my books). I've not had so much as a sniffle. I had a bit of diarrhea one time, but that may just have been the Soju shits.

There is at least one upside to all of these lockdowns in industrialized nations. There is far less pollution in the air.

For example, some residents in India are seeing the Himalayan snowcaps from their homes for the first time in over 30 years.

Interestingly, I was very sickly as a frail little child. But, I haven’t had a cold, flu, or any viral infection in more than 30 years.

I believe it

I can see mountains from my house here

these mountains are tropical so they don’t have snow, they have palm trees, lol

but I can see details far away that I’ve never seen before

and the sun is really blinding me in the late afternoon, it’s definitely giving the earth a breather

I am essential, back to work Monday electrical foreman for a fairly large contractor, we're swamped.

"Why aren't we doing more testing???"...
Why don't they test for the FLU every year?

This is all utter BS!

nobody decides who is essential. that's the language of communists.

THIS !

Today one provincial government annnounced that they have a massive stockpile of pandemic supplies so they are sending hundreds of thousands of N95 masks to other provinces. Front-line hospital staff, paramedics, etc. haven't been able to get the masks in the province that is shipping supplies away now. They asked people to sew cloth masks for them. So either hospital staff and other health workers don't matter, or the projections of the growth of Covid-19 were grossly overstated, or we're all being played. Maybe it's all of the above.

This had occurred to me while watching another sad story on the national news last night of a doctor telling everyone to stay home. The doctor's face mask was upside down.

People are out and about today. The isolation will not last. People are getting tired of this. Something's going to give.
