    I live in northern IN and Michigan is the same way. If I can go back to work in a week I will have to have “travel papers” to carry with me. Essentially stating I’m an essential worker.

    Well, they are the biggest thugs on the block…. I wouldn’t expect anything less.

    Yeah, but try getting the physical, they have product but not the general staple. I looked at what I could get from JM Bullion , a couple of days ago and was quite surprised by how much was out of stock. And yes, I believe the price suppression since 2011 was specifically so they could acquire as much as possible with their worthless fiat.

    • Odd isn’t it, demand spikes, prices drop, and oddly… the commodity is unavailable and yet continues to plunge. Nothing to see here, just move along. Now allow me to leave you with a bit of Alice.

    Yup, on one of my deliveries Friday, they posted no restrooms for drivers. They wouldn’t have any product coming in or going out without us. Well if they lock the country down, drivers will be the only ones on the road. Might be kind of nice for a change.

    I live among the Amish, away from the big towns. Have had backup food, water, medicine etc for a few years. Been expecting something, just didn’t expect this. And yeah, if you don’t test anyone, no one’s sick. Just like hiding your head in the sand. I think they want it to spread, and even if it has minimal effect here, the global economy has…[Read more]

    • I’d hate to think that they would want the disease to spread on purpose but various “blunders” across the board in various countries does seem to support this idea and I have to assume that this might be the case.

    Yes they probably are Asian students that returned back from the holidays. Although it may appear that this thing whatever it is may favor Iranians and Italians, possibly anyone. Yesterday the Swiss stopped two trains entering from Italy, so we may be just starting to see the beginning of an interesting set of events. From what I’ve seen so far…[Read more]

    Hard to find but this was from the San Francisco Chronicle yesterday. Zero Hedge picked it up for a brief moment last night. And this was the first I heard of it. 12:08 p.m. 8,000 in California now self-quarantined: Some 8,000 people across the state have quarantined themselves, the California Department of Public Health told The Chronicle.…[Read more]

    • Any relation with Asian phenotypes?

      • There was an early assumption made that the corona virus may be more virulent to Asians. At the time, only a few Europeans had been affected by the disease and only experienced mild symptoms. With Iran and Italy, this seems to have been largely dismissed and even if Asians were preferentially affected by the disease, the Asian population in the US…[Read more]

    • The US corona situation is slowly getting out of PR control of the CDC which are not testing for the virus. Out of 330 million people in the US, only 420 people have been tested. Rap your mind about this as South Korea is testing thousands and thousand of people.
      They are not testing because then it makes it convenient for them as they can say…[Read more]

      • The current high numbers in Italy have appeared because of the precautionary measure by the public health system of applying swipes to 8,000 people connected with the first handful of cases. Most of the persons currently shown to be (or said to be) positive have no symptoms. This has brought the country a “bad press”, but it is a lesser evil at present.

        • Well I would think knowing that an area has an outbreak is really important evne if the majority of people aren’t showing symptoms. Although shocking, I think that identifying how far the disease has spread is really important since the asymptomatic phase of this disease is so long.

    Don’t know if anyone here has been paying attention to Chris Martenson from Peak Prosperity, he has been doing a daily update on the now named COVID-19 virus, since 1/24. He does a good job summarizing pertinent information. This is his latest video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWJBJq-tVsc

    • I’m following this stuff pretty close and from the list of people I’ve got, he seems to provide the clearest, most intelligent and thoughtful presentation about the pandemic. I highly recommend his channel if you want to follow just one person to find out how things are going.

    • You can also follow Michael Yon who is in Thailand and covering the pandemic as well. He went there for the Hong Kong insurgency and says that this Wuhan or Xi-flu is by far the most critical “event” happening. He says that the WHO made up the Covid-19 name to take the onus off of China but Michael wants everyone to know that the CCP is…[Read more]

      • We have friends who made a travel connection through Hong Kong a few days ago. They wore masks the entire time. BTW, they said the airport in Hong Kong was virtually empty. On Michael Yon: he is a frequent reporter on John Batchelor’s podcast. He provides superb, coverage, as does Gordon Chang. The problem is the info coming from the Chinese is…[Read more]

    • His reporting seems very balanced.

    Found this a couple days ago, just watched it, not sure what to think, though I did find some of what he said really interesting. From ABC news Australia, 1965, A scientist claims the moon is plasma. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhIwZuPGfss&list=WL&index=4&t=24s

    The information is probably more important than its coherency. The later we can probably put together, just fine. And will probably have some decent questions to fill in any gaps later.

    Although if the US retaliates, hell will be unleashed.

    Whether appropriate or not, this is what I wrote in my notes last night around 2300, about what happened. Apparently the stage manager decided to put on a light show for the world. So I watched it, making sure a fire wouldn’t break out. So far so good, minus a few more actors. Much like what happened when the clown got the big boy chair. Anywho,…[Read more]

    As of 10:15pm EST, as long as the US doesn’t respond, a temporary pause in hostilities will be had. According to FM Zariff. The President will be briefing the nation in the morning. You can check out his last tweet @ around 2145hrs. Its pretty obnoxious.

    This is in response to Friday’s news and views. At the 17m52 mark Danielle DiMartino Booth and Peter Bookvar are discussing negative interest rates in Eurpoe. And their intended effects etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myiQIZGbO-M&list=WL&index=2
