Sars Cov 2 … the grinder continues to eat away at resources and humanity.

Ha!
Yeah. That was a pretty good indicator.

Hopefully they weren't one of the brands that was supposed to be recalled...

where? if u find them buy several for u and the family. extra cartridges too. i checked recently. no masks at all,let alone half faced or cartridge filters.

This ain’t good.

No, I don't think it is either. Unusual.

Well, blocking vehicle traffic in or out of Indy is one thing. But unless you have armed sentries completely encircling the city, people can just walk in or out. Plus, there are more than a couple of train tracks I might attempt to use with my truck to get under the interstate blockade.

And there are a LOT of very well-armed civilians in Indianapolis. We would not go quietly.

This is gonna sting. Why can’t they step back and shake the natural virus so it’s xyz?!?!

They won't need Indy, not at first. they'll shut down the big metropolitan areas first, top 25 on the population list adds up to about 132 million people, give or take a million.

So you use the military at those 25 first, stationed at larger main intersections, patrolling in a 2 to 5 mile radius, to shut the whole thing down. block off the interstates, shut off the cell phone towers, stop food delivery.

TV broadcasts will say that the systems for the internet and cell phones in that city have been hacked, but that services will be restored soon, and that due to the issues, no grocery stores can operate, no ability to reach the cloud to check people out.

Then on the second day, they'll say that due to the ongoing issues with the stores, the government will be bringing in food trucks, to distribute food to everyone that needs it. Then on the fourth day they'll hand out one day worth of food, but you have to show some form of ID to get your food ration, one package per ID provided.

Now they've got control of everyone, because everyone has to stand in line for food, AND they've put them on a list in the process.

After a week you start dropping the size of the food rations....

After 2 weeks you only hand out to the children...

Unless you comply, any resistance and you AND your family lose their right to rations. And because internet and cell phones were down, the rest of the county has no fucking clue what just happened, because the news never covered it.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Until you've got all cities over 500k population under full control.

This made me think of Hnry Bwmn and his ham radios...Riff, didn't you mention something about that? Might be a good time to pick up a new hobby with a few antennas...

And seem to be available everywhere.

Get em while you can!!!!

Yeah, amateur radio operators have just about the only disaster-proof method of communications at their disposal. Problem is, the antennas required for long-distance transmitting stick out like a sore thumb and would make easy targets if they wanted them shut down. That being said, part of any prepper's supplies should be a battery-operated receiver that can pick up amateur radio bands. That will be the only reliable method of receiving news from outside the country if the grid and Internet go down.

Raffette and I both have handheld radios with preset frequencies for us to communicate if everything else goes down. If the repeaters are working we can be anywhere in or around Indy and still be able to communicate. If they aren't working, we have to be within about five miles of each other, which we usually are during a normal day.

Handheld amateur radios are inexpensive.

I agree, Something just doesn’t feel right.
Not that this unto itself is significant.
But taken with everything that is going on.
This is a Major General of the US Army.

Here is Iowa’s super spreader event..... well. I am as ready as I can be for the next 2 waves.

Thousands of RAGBRAI riders head to Fort Dodge Monday

Less than 50%

The return of RAGBRAI means a boom in business for communities that desperately need it.

Bicyclists will ride into Fort Dodge on the Kenyon Road bridge and be greeted with a beautiful view of the Des Moines River. That leads them right i

Bad decision making skills. It doesn’t get any better from here out.

And the comments aren’t any better.... everyone had the chance to be better but 99% went covid rage.

Sage adviser claims ministers trying to get as many as possible infected with Covid

“What we are seeing is a decision by the government to get as many people infected as possible, as quickly as possible, while using rhetoric about caution as a way of putting the blame on the public for the consequences,” said Prof Robert West, a health psychologist at University College London who participates in Sage’s behavioural science subgroup.

“It looks like the government judges that the damage to health and healthcare services will be worth the political capital it will gain from this approach,” West said, adding that ministers appear to believe the strategy is now sustainable – unlike last year – because of the vaccine rollout.

DATA POINT

All my co workers from down state met up for a team lunch Friday. I didn't go for obvious reasons plus its a 5 hour drive and I would have to take the dogs with me....so...no.

Today my team lead out sick, and another co worker was talking about fighting something...runny nose and headaches all weekend. Last week one of them was out with a "migraine" and complained about feeling foggy.....

THEY ARE ALL JABBED

I want to say they got them in Feb.....???? Maybe even Jan.

ETA just checked, looks like they were all getting them in December and Jan.

:hide:

And

:ahhhh:

I’ve got a work colleague who has been “fighting something” for over a week now. He was holding up ok, just late start or slow days. However, today he said he can’t do it and called off.

I guess they weren't informed about the six month limited warranty...

You would think if any places would be in the know about that it would be a major hospital system!!!!

Friend update: So thought she was just feeling under the weather, no she is really sick. Told her to get an O2 meter...she said "I've seen some for over $40 and it feels expensive for something I'll probably only need for one more week. You're probably right though"

I told her if her husband gets it but is asymptomatic he could lose oxygen too even though he feels fine. And its just a good thing to have b/c covid isn't going awahere for a really long time. No reply to that.

Speaking of O2, mine usually sits at 98, today been dipping down to 94 a couple times but then back up right away....

Hmmmm.....don't like that one bit.

The dips is when you hold your breathe.... yeah it happens when worried about it. Practice breathing while having it on. Over a week it will stop happening.

If truly low oxygen.... it will stay there for minutes. And minutes.

Normalcy bias.

OH more jab pressure.

Boss just called me to see whats up b/c HR is sending manager emails on employee jab status.

I let him know I'm waiting and just need to print out my exemption and get it in.

The level of pressure is uncalled for. I also read that fully dressed national guard are accompanying the volunteers going door to door in NC. Trying to find a link to post.

THe more they push the more to resist. This is absolutely insane......

ok ok ok I feel like I'm hogging the thread today, lol

Or maybe the UK and others are tinkering with the numbers?
Who knows anymore.
So many agendas.


Decline In UK COVID Cases Signals Coming "Inflection" For US As Delta Fears Subside

Kolanovic claimed that fears about the variant are overblown. The UK, he added, appears to be following a timeline similar to what the world saw in India. This should give confidence to investors that Delta isn't a serious threat to global growth. Well, that and the drop in mortality. Speaking of markets, Kolanovic suggested that this is the start of a rotation into cyclicals.
