Duly noted..
Well it is 2020?
This virus is attacking the lungs?
Looks like she was on point on this prediction, at least that's my opinion..
Your link is of someone else's opinion, and everyone Is entitled to their own opinions..

Oam did you know the link you put up is of someone else's opinion?
The words of that person:
Note also that the "prediction" couldn't even be mostly validated until 2030, since it references a recurrence of the disease ten years later--a neat trick for a prediction made (or at least made public) nearly a quarter of a century earlier. And as to whether it would "then disappear completely," I suppose that could be determined true or false at some point around the end of time, so expect a follow-up piece from me then.
That was of that person's opinion. Keep in mind these facts: pandemic virus in early 2020 has killed quite a few people in a short period of time.
It also attacks people with respiratory problems along with the elderly who have weak immune systems.
Or people who are on high bp meds or people with diabetes.
So as to pART of her prediction, it looks like is true thus far.
Agreed, its an opinion. We've all got one.
As far as Corvid-19, im doing my best to boost my immune system, by eating plenty of fruits, veggies, and multivitamins.
I just cut up some onions, and I have some collard greens mixed with mustard greens cooking in the Crock-Pot as we speak..
I normally don't mix those two greens together, but considering what's going on in the stores I'm working with the scraps they left. Lol
Im considered high risk with this virus, although im not old.. I have high blood pressure.
If you're sick guys please stay home, if im sick I will do the same, sit it out..
My bills are paid regardless, so I wont risk yall over money if I become sick.. Knock on wood
Everyone be safe out there.
Way to funny to secret post
Even with all the precautions, someone can show no signs and still be positive. I’m sticking to a very few lovers until time comes that we can be cochinos again :)
I concur...I mean I live a pretty solitude & germaphobe life as it is! I just made a few tweeks to the entry way...I've installed a Mister system that pelts you with alcohol before entering haaaaa if anyone remembers the 83 movie Silkwood...baaahaaaaahaaaaa
Everyone be mindful and stay safe!
The circled caption in the photo above did not come from Sylvia Brown. It actually came from the Dean Koontz novel "The Eyes of Darkness" published in 1981. Later published copies the story calls the virus the Wuhan-400 and calling Wuhan the epicenter. Pretty close prediction but it was a fictional novel and the original had the virus as Russian originated, still kinda strange just the same
Morning all, have been quarantined for the last couple of weeks. Just to sort of follow up on everything as it develops and well it’s been a nice vacation from the real life hectic shit. I am enjoying this. I also have been on my monthly so that just sort of worked itself out anyway along with not getting off the couch after a major grocery shopping endeavor. I am still open for business and will be posting some time this next week. Early days. But yes I will be taking extra steps with friends to, at the very least, prevent what we can while still having our fun. Plus plenty of sanitizing is already a habit of mine at my spot. Happy to see fully verified folks but this time will be asking a few more questions... I know a few pilots that have come my way in the past and I just am gonna stick to certain “backgrounds” or other folks staying home until we get more information.
Staying home and goin to my incall location and maybe a few food deliveries are my main goals for the next 2 more weeks. But just wanted to send out that quick ez update. Ladies and gent friends please stay safe and enjoy this downtime. We could all use the rest and reminder to come back down to earth and pause to smell the flowers... alone. Lol.
No matter how clean or sanitary you are, small contact of any kind with someone carrying or actively afflicted can pass it on to you. No way to know if you too will just carry it or become afflicted. You can take an alcohol bath and 30 seconds later still pass it to someone else. Most of these sanitary habits should be part of daily living anyways. The CDC doesn’t say stay away from others outside your household unless you are a clean person. There isn’t a loophole to being so clean you made yourself immune.
We are supposed to quarantine because our medical system would collapse if mass amounts of people become ill simultaneously. We already see issues with our production capacities on almost every level are insufficient to support chaos and panic shopping. Those with more years behind them are already more susceptible to dying from this flu-like virus. You go around contacting strangers that have contacted other strangers and it forms a web that is almost endless which is the way pandemics occur in the first place. What is worse is you might not be likely to die from it but your parents are, your family, a young baby with a weak immune system, and on and on. This is not about protecting yourself, this is about protecting the human race, the functionality/sustainability of the world we have created, and all those lives and industries that would be crushed if we lost the oldest and youngest 1/3 of our population.
if this is a reply for me, ok thanks. But already knew every bit of this. I know what a pandemic is and how it works. I know how the immune system works. I know about carriers I know who’s susceptible, and I know what CDC is saying. I think most of us do. Thanks. And while I respect your second paragraph, the people on this site are still going to do what they want to do and see or not see who they choose. Your PSA warning is wonderful. Truly. But falls on some deaf ears. Those that still want to partake. Men AND women. Sorry man. But hey at least you know you’re safe at home not booking anyone and doing whatever it is that makes you feel better. Soaking in alcohol or not being apart of those strangers who meet with other strangers and so on, forming that endless web you speak about.
please keep in mind, some of us wanting to just do it w whomever we choose down the road is Us not TRYING to PURPOSELY put our entire human race in harms way or kill 1/3 of our population. Sorry you feel that way bruh.
But I bet, if you posted this on Facebook or insta you would get a shit load of traction. Haven’t done a poll, but there’s a percentage here that doesn’t want to stop. And there’s a portion on here that is stopping completely until they feel better about coming back. All of us are just going to have to respect both sides. If you can’t, that’s cool too. You’ll still have to “accept” it.
Try to relax and rest like I mentioned. It’ll do ya some good. If it gets worse I will personally start doomsday prepping with you. I have done plenty of research.
I think just about everyone wants it to stop. And I have posted it and it is 100%. People deciding they know better than the CDC and scientists and experts on the subject are what prolongs the situation and increase the chance of the world approaching a grand collapse.
Yes people will do as they please, the desire is for people to understand what the situation could become and for people to choose sacrificing their daily routines and pleasures of living for the sake of life, recovery, and prosperity of the world. It was not directed at you, but that reply makes it appear you were offended by the truth and have no desire to stay quarantined for the sake of others.
We have seen how other countries have taken quarantines and laws to the extreme. Here in the US we were given the opportunity to make the adult choices ourselves and not be forcibly locked down and policed. At least half of the country is already shut down and yet the situation doesn’t seem dire to you and many others yet. If we don’t make the adult choices on our own, and the situation continues to grow (literally is picking up pace in the US and Texas as we speak), then we will end up being forced by the police and government like we are children. We have already seen people shopping like children, no concern for others and those most at risk.
At this point the progression and exponential degradation of life as it was is heavily dependent on what we do. Thinking about only ourselves will just drive the world into the ground. If you are doing the research then I would expect complete agreement and support as some of this information comes verbatim from the CDC.
We are not currently at a cataclysmic event, we are trying to prevent one as a human race.
Have a great day everyone!
:Smoking Smiley:
oh. Good god. Ok I’m going to ask that you reread my reply. Well, and my VERY FIRST POST again. No shit everyone wants the virus to “STOP” ...lmao. Just reread the sentence hon. That was not what I was referring to. But I don’t think it’s best I spend all day arguing w someone who isnt even comprehending what I am writing. I watch ladies and men give into these emotional posts all day long sometimes all week long... writing to me you seemingly know what is of value to me and what isn’t based off of me telling you, “WE HEAR YOU!!!! WE READ YOU!!“ You’re right though. We’ve been given the choice. Nowhere in there have I made any inclination about what I AM going to do in my personal life and what I have been doing.... other than my very first post about what I’m doing HERE. Don’t be so presumptuous. YOU KNOW NOTHING about myself lol. But when I tell you, not everyone here is going to do what you want them to do due to you falling apart and needing to reiterate (loudly I may add) what most already have learned probably around the same time you have, you can’t fall apart like this buddy. Pull yourself together and maybe call someone. Writing so fatalistically isn’t going to change a penis’s mind.
Again, we definitely heard you and read your VERY IMPORTANT POST. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!!! lol. It was helpful and inspiring to im sure some here. Just try not to write this every time a couple of folks on here want to end up meeting and hook up. Or every time a guy is looking for someone or every time a girl posts her schedule or update. Already told you, you're on a LETS MEET UP site. You’re going to wear yourself out. This will exhaust you. You just can’t force everyone to do or want exactly what you do and want. I do hate to break that to you, I genuinely do. I could assume MANY MANY things based off of what I just read from ya, but that would be hypocritical of me. Lol. I will just keep it to myself knowing full well I’m not alone in my reaction to WHAT I JUST READ. :doh:
You’re gonna be ok guy. Just breathe. Yes, you will STILL BE OKAY, despite people still getting it on.
And thank you!! It’s been a great one!! Shit!! I have to get to the mall before it closes, I may hit up the gym, and get my hair done at a place I know is still open. Oooo maybe my nails. Nah, that will probably dig into this huge dinner party with some folks I hardly know that just flew in. I better get going. So many places to go and new hands to touch. :Nose Picking:
You two should get a room... up to you two if you decide to stay 6 feet apart or not...
Lmao! ⬆⬆⬆
Definitely hoping not within a hundred yards. . (Today’s restraining order distance right?) That right there just doesn’t sound okay. Like a tiny bit unstable. Thank god this wasn’t some guy behind me in a coffee shop line oooh the perks of actually staying home and having a beautiful nespresso during the quarantine. Being able to still drive when I need to, thank god I have prepared, and yes love that we have this choice for those that still do need to go out...I mean helloooo....my grandparents aren’t going anywhere so everyone has been taking turns to drop off everything they need at their door step.
that end of the world shit baffles me. After aids, after 9/11, after so many other events form my past....I just say, relax and keep your hands to yourself if you’re positive period. I know those who are affected take disclosing it seriously after finding out about that Chinese American woman facing time. It’s a given. I won’t go into detail (again to stay vague) but many of you know I have 3 VERY specific reasons why I take all of it seriously. Many of of you who have seen me but read each of my posts and loathe writing on these pages due to shit like this, they know those very special reasons and why I take it seriously. So Mr. End of days over there can slap a mask on to hinder any more nonsense about an entire other person “not taking this seriously” ....he knows nothing about simply because I say, ok thanks for letting us know but your words won’t change people’s decisions here. Sit down, NEXT? It’s called disagreeing with you about your theories. (Not the facts he spoke, just the theories) but yes, You make a presumption about my personal life because I tell you the act/ or need to copulate (in every sense of the word) will always culminate vs anything life threatening. ALWAYS. Pun unintended (But You’ve then pushed a button. You don’t go for someone’s real life shit) All you have to do is crack a book of patterns and trends behind history and the answers are right there, so that we learn from it and make changes. That’s exactly what we’ve done. But no ones tying our own foot to the radiator for months on end because you’re in a state of shock, one. And two, it’s just impractical. Virus or nuclear bomb, some of us don’t just look out for ourselves. All those old people and young babies he was crying about, can’t be protected when you lock yourself in. So we learn and make small but impacting changes. Not forming our own theories and then shitting on our “trade” or hobby and on this board afterward. Lmao. Gtfoh.
What was that one quote from World War Z?!! “ El movimiento es vida” movement is life!
God what a great movie. Ps. One of my biggest dreams is to have an underground doomsday bunker or bunkers. Just several planted in a few places. I’m so glad I’m in Texas.
Ok there I gave in. But I’m glad I did. Now I can get back to these casino slot machines.
Lol there is a reason that hasn’t happened and these posts assure me I made a wise decision.
The videos from Italy of people sending a ‘message to themselves for 10 days ago’ are pretty eye opening as well. People literally trying to help people like this that don’t seem to get it. They are on 100% lockdown and quarantine at this point with exponential growth in positive cases and deaths over the last week and a half. If adults don’t make the choices themselves, the government will do it for us soon enough. The US is considered to be about 10 days behind Italy right now. It’s like one of the big memes going viral. “If all the kids would just sit down and listen we could get to recess sooner.”
There is no arguing here or argument. You can choose to not believe reality, but that does not in any way make this an argument.
Orders for sold out essentials from the major retailers are looking at one to three weeks before they can potentially provide it to you even if you paid and ordered ahead of time as usual. They made sure to mention even an order for three weeks away has no guarantee the item will be available to you on that date. Plan what you can and help those in need.
Stay safe and find a way to be ecstatic :)
See? Love it. Easy. Simple. Informative. Still up to date either way, BUT no ones hot mess dragging behind it. Ty GF.
.....Hahahaha. Yea, buddy, THATS why. Such a wise decision.
False.
No idea what 'small contact' is. It's either direct contact or indirect contact.
You make it sound as if just being in the presence of an infected person will cause infection.
Airborne diseases/pathogens are not that black and white, sir....
False.
Again, you're making it sound like just being in an infected person's presence is going to cause infection.
Yes, this is an airborne illness; however....
Exposure to a patient or animal with an airborne disease does not guarantee receiving the disease. 1
Be aware that there are other factors that also contribute to infection/exposure such as
changes in host immunity and how much the host was exposed to the particles
in the air will overall make a determine how the disease will affect the host 1
BTW y'all, this virus can live in the air for up to three hours.2
False.
Testing will let you know if you're positively carrying it.
If there was no way of knowing, South Korea, Taiwan, etc. would NOT be anywhere near
recovery/containment as they are currently if they had no tests 3
let's not forget when CDC let out a quarantined patient into the wild before getting the results of the
final test that revealed the patient was positive for the virus 4
“Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment – try getting it yourselves." --- guess who said that? 5
A medical system that's completely co-opted by a corporate elite that's based on profiting off of sick people nor benefit the patient, is already collapsed.
Now, hospitals need more equipment and are even asking their communities for help6
Biggest issue is weak central leadership poorly responding to a crisis,
and that'll initiate chaos from lack of planning, enforcement, containment, etc.
COVID-19 began infecting folks in 2019, and the nations that started to finally take it seriously in 2020, are floundering in chaos & panic
However, in South Korea.......
I agree, but when a nation has a former reality TV star as their leader with no prior political experience (nor military experience), 7
ignore all the warning signs of a potential pandemic likely isn't concerned with protecting humanity.... 8
Wow. Blown away. And once again, just simple replies w straightforward answers. (Facts and zero histrionics ) Most of the people around me IRL are in medical field. I often listen in on their convos. I understand about half the shit. When they start using numbers as codes or specific acronyms that aren’t common to the public, I’m lost. Lol You speak nurse or physician jargon. I mean as my very first guess. But it sounds like you are in some position inside the field. Obviously no need to confirm due to security but was taking a guess. Unless you’re just that good at it with the info at hand. While reading, it was exactly the way my good friend (nurse practitioner) and fam. Member, a physician speaks or texts. Lol was just taking a stab at it.
well look at that bruh, sounds like with the PROPER statements above the world won’t end after all.
but as for the supply and medical care shortage, the economy, and the reality star at the top w no former experience... now this Is what probably scares me the most. Not the virus. But won’t go there because this can easily turn. IF you could all see me clapping doing cartwheels and cheering on an intelligent woman i don’t even know .... To these beautiful answers broken down into 8 points addressing each and every (absurd in my mind) POV of his, from a scientific and medical standpoint straight from this well articulate babe here.... I mean... I’m dead. That was iconic. God I love when a woman can put it down in writing ever so clearly simply and gracefully wo getting so erratic, irrational, or judgmental and still mic drops the shit out of the discussion. I’m not above it to hit back harder when someone gets personal with me... I will be Learning a thing or two from what you wrote and how you wrote it.....now that’s how it’s done. :cheerleader: Cheers to this.
Here is a preventative information link to the CDC
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...revention.html
While I hope you are correct, most of the folks I know (all professionals and many with ties to the medical and insurance industry) are predicting a whole lot longer. That simply sucks, but it is what it is.
Do a little research on the 1918 flu, also known as the Spanish Flu. That is the model many professionals are investigating to find measures that might work.
Same background here, but I am getting both ends of the spectrum. A few that actually work on the same unit, one that’s been around for EVER and knows more about what will take place on their end no matter what it is yet ISNT on that floor ..it’s still a virus and there’s a protocol. Same one they usually follow since the beginning of “smart times”. Even the ones that aren’t killing people. Then one person straight out of cdc. They speak to me in MATH. so I’m over here calling all the others digesting and researching what this or that means lol. But they have all said to me, it will get worse right before it gets better and it will all happen soon. Very soon.
To be clear, not my 2 cents or my opinion just what some folks VERY close to it have called and told me since day one. I also refuse to see any of them and continue to love them from afar. Hahaha.
but that is what I live by, IT is what it is and all we can do is our best.
Mat, Now that’s my department, and every single one of them has shut it all down (work) and is freaked out but is just doing what they’re told...I guess. I just listen and haven’t been in for weeks. They all only shut down last Monday.
For myself, I am abstaining from the in-person hobby for a while. Partly I want to avoid catching this or another respiratory ailment and I don't want to rusk also out of catching something, not show any symptoms and transmit it to my family or coworkers.
I wasn't doing a whole lot of hobbying anyway, and now I'm doing even less. If the finances hold up and I can get some privacy, I may partake some phone sex or enjoy a cam shows. If any SA providers are going to offer that, please post and I'll do my best to enjoy some safe fun.
