    Coronavirus is coming EVERYWHERE says Tony Fauci as he warns the event calls for 'all hands on deck' and says people need to prepare NOW but stops short of backing closing schools - for now
    • President Donald Trump advised Americans to just 'stay calm' and the coronavirus will 'go away'
    • 'It will go away. Just stay calm, it will go away,' he said
    • Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are proposing their own economic relief package to combat the market decline in the wake of coronavirus concerns
    • The proposal will rival Donald Trump's economic relief package, which he will discuss with Republican lawmakers later in the day Tuesday
    • Democrats have criticized the president's plan for focusing too much on the economy and less on those being affected by coronavirus
    • Trump unveils first attempt to arrest a plunging stock market with plan for payroll tax cut
    • He also said Monday that there would be help for hourly workers so they can take time off from work without being penalized
    • The Dow Jones plunged more than 2,000 points in biggest point drop in history - and at one point trading was halted because of the precipitous sell-off
    • Press briefing was first appearance by Trump designed to calm the markets
    • Trump referred to coronavirus as 'the virus that everybody is talking about'

    Concert I was going to next week cancelled. Obviously less serious than what others are experiencing but local economy getting killed. A friend was in downtown San Francisco today. The big tech companies are closed, restaurants empty, streets empty. I had some shopping to do. Parking lots that are normally full 3/4 empty. A lot of small businesses are going to go under.

    Actually, most new viruses, especially the dozens of flu viruses, would never have existed were it not for mass vaccination.

    Viruses are nature's way of controlling the population to protect the balance of life on Earth. They attack and kill only those with weak immune systems.

    Immune systems (white blood cells) are the only cure for viruses.

    Viruses quickly and continually mutate to outsmart the stupid vaccines, becoming more invincible each time.

    For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.

    The accelerated development and use of vaccines will eventually cause the extinction of all humans on Earth.

    Or allow a good percentage of us to live well into the 100's.
    I was at a huge retirement party for a well known mid western executive and they had Randy Fields (futurist speak) and he asked how many in the room have kids under 20, a good percentage raised their hands, and he said, your kids will be able to decide how long they want to live and when they would like to die. About 1/4 of about 1000 people got up and walked out thinking this guy is wacky. I stayed and listen to him go on about nano bot tech and how China, and not Iran, Soviet Union or any other mid eastern country, would be the main threat we face and it will not end well for the USA. The other half the room got up and left.
    This was about 30 years ago...

    Science must work differently on the east side of the mountains. I’m trying to think of the last case of polio or smallpox I heard of. There wasn’t any measles until anti-vaxers started with their nutball theories.

    If they had a vaccine for the coronavirus tomorrow, I suppose all the anti-vaccers would decline. Which would be great because then nature would take care of the weak and life’s order would be right in line

    Well, everyone at my place of employment got ordered today to work from home for the next 3 weeks. But it won't change much for me, since I've been working from home every day for years now. Did cancel a work trip to Europe that was supposed to happen in a couple of weeks.
