I've heard of several different 'theories' and would take too much time to explain them......nor do I necessarily believe any of it either.
BUT......I will say this much...…...
Step back from all the hype, and look at what is happening all around you that are being put into place...…….
Schools shut down, many for the rest of the school year and more probably to follow suit...….maybe even longer
Absolute hysteria over commodities.....store shelves empty
Online orders have skyrocketed to the point that companies are overwhelmed and can't fill those orders
Shipping of products are either delayed or cancelled all together
Everyone is 'asked' to self quarantine or social distance
Companies & business's are either closed or limited services available........not to mention the loss of jobs &/or hours
The government has passed or enacted the war act or whatever it's called, that gives them the right to pretty much do whatever they want.....and you can take that however you want.
Laws were put in place to make it illegal to evict or foreclose..
Some areas and a few states are in lockdown, nobody can leave their homes unless 'essential'
Some states have called in the National Guard and are on 'standby'
I've heard of a shipment of military Humvee's in or around Chicago
Stock market has been in a nose dive for 2 weeks?
They have and are passing legislation for funds that will only add to our debt in runaway fashion.
and I don't know what all else...….but you can see it for yourself. Good Lord I hope I'm wrong for all our sakes, but the signs are there.
Then of course, right here in RiverCity (line from an old movie) AKA ground zero of the US part of the pandemic, our lovely governor *cough, cough* had a news conference today showing just how fricken stupid he is. By saying he won't take any more drastic measures to contain the virus and we have to be on our best behavior or else. He talked of the numbers and how fast it's spreading...….but nothing about stopping or containing it. Is he turning a blind eye on purpose?
Now personally I do think the virus is overhyped, but considering everything involved and how other states are taking actions...…..you would think this guy would have been one of the first to require more strict guidelines......instead he rambled on like he was asleep at the wheel. No wonder Trump called him a snake.
