Thanks for that.
Things in that wright up. I also believe are true. I to don't, and haven't taking all the hyped up medicine they push on us. I am healthy as can be. Minus some antibiotics I took a year ago for diverticulitis. I don't take medicine from doc's. I have changed my diet to accommodate my diverticulitis. Haven't had a problem since.
If it where up to pharmaceutical companies and Doctors I would be getting up in the morning to eat 10 or more meds and the same at night. I have friends that do this that are no older or worse off than me. There thinking is the Doc said so.
Another note on SD's Wright up is the power grab. Stand back and really look what's going on.
Really??

I have plenty more but last thing I need is to get attacked on a forum I enjoy discussing trucks. Most people don’t want to know the truth about what’s really going on because they have been trained and the generations before have been trained to be good little soldiers. I don’t conform well, never have and I keep a tight circle of friends. When you try to discuss anything with an adult mind that goes against the lies we have had pushed on us day after day for hundreds and thousands of years you get called a kook, a tinfoil hat wearer, a nutjob off his meds etc. I just wish people would wake up.
Abortion, being gay, pedophilia, anti Christian etc are all acceptable but speaking the truth and being healthy are not...see what’s wrong with this picture? If you think what is going on with this virus and oil crisis have nothing to do with these other topics you need to use your adult mind to examine the facts just as you would examine troubleshooting a truck...think about that long and hard.

It's interesting I have friend who made a comment about "my guy in office" and that led us into a conversation. I proved all of his concerns were not only wrong but fabricated by the left wing media. I even found retractions from their sites. He couldn't say anything but to agree that it was wrong. So I guess I did a good job. Unfortunately, my guess is his mind hasn't changed he's spent so much time being manipulated in believing that trump is the devil that even if I could go back and prove that every single issue he's ever had was all fake(I'm sure it's not all fake as trump certainly inserts foot in mouth sometimes) he would still hate the guy and think it's all his fault. The moral of the story is the media knows how to manipulate all of us. They do it with volume through multiple outlets pushing same agenda so at some point you can't find anything other than their agenda. Then they villify the few lone outlets that don't confirm to their agenda.

I truly believe that the media has lined up with globalist who aren't just democrats but are what they call the deep state. These people want a one world order so there's more money and power for them to skim off the top. Of course some want more and then the minions below just want cleaner air or a tree to be hugged or whatever. But the ultimate consequences to all of it will be on us. And that's probably gonna result in something much less than what we are used to

I am going to agree with SD, that I don't want to politicize this forum. I to like to come on just to talk trucks.
But OPC makes arguments that I agree 100%
There's more going on here than meets the eye. And some eyes are to stupid and brainwashed to see it.

That said. All of you be vigal, take care of yourselves and your families. God speed.

You can get the flu or a cold year round, this is a cold. More prevalent during cooler months but never goes away. The virus is real but not as bad as people are being led to believe. I am much more concerned about the economy. I’m not saying I don’t care about people but if you want to look at death statistics you might be surprised at the high numbers of other causes of death. Synthetic pharmaceuticals should be considered the true pandemic but it seems like everyone is accepting a doctor’s word for it when they write you a prescription for anti depressants for no reason. I have not taken anything but ibuprofen and Standard Process herbal supplements for almost three years and couldn’t feel better. God put everything man needs right here on earth in the form of plants and minerals, there was no need to synthesize a bunch of chemical concoctions to remedy issues that could be eliminated with herbal and mineral supplements. Instead these synthetic drugs have a hundred side effects that are mitigated by yet more synthetic drugs...before you know it you’re taking a hand full of **** that is killing you and making you feel worse than if you took none of it at all! Don’t even get me started on cancer...my cousin died of ovarian cancer last year and her mother has liver cancer. Neither drink or smoke...doctors insist on chemotherapy that does nothing more than make your hair fall out and kill you just the same but the difference is they get PAID for their special cures...when all along the Gerson Method and Cannabis Extracts could have been the true cure with no ill effects like chemo. Last year somewhere around 383,000 people died due to medical malpractice but no one sees that as a pandemic.
Biological weapon or not, this is a power grab, you better wake up and believe that NO CRISIS GOES TO WASTE. Especially when there is an agenda to push.
+1000

...and there is a BIG agenda. If this "crisis" is managed to the globalist's satisfaction, they will make leaps and bounds towards their end goal in short order.

Good to know I'm not the only "lunatic" on these boards.

Keep in mind if this gets too political one of the mods will lock the thread.

We have no solid information yet if environmental temps have an impact. In Australia people are getting it.

Spending a great day outside mowing and doing other stuff, normal weekend here. I was sick last month, so was the wife and daughter, all of us respiratory. My daughters school almost closed because of the absences., we are guessing it was around back then.

We also went to town today, busy and bustling. This virus will do more damage in the cities than anywhere else. We country folk have plenty of space to play outside.

In NJ, all but essential business is now closed as of tonight. In this little pocket of the world, we are in ghost town mode, maybe because of what we see out of northern NJ.

There is just so little known about this virus, I look at any current details as pure speculation. It's just a race to slow the progression with the hope that drugs and vaccines can be developed for the remaining.

The US has one of the lower hospital bed rates per 1,000 people and according to my granddaughter who works in a regional hospital administration, it is the result of state-level regulations known as certificate of need laws that artificially limit the supply of medical equipment and hospital capacity. These have been in place for some time.

No one is sticking any vaccine in me, that’s for damn sure. How could they test it in a short period of time, that’s only in the movies. God made the human body with everything we need to fight off infections and disease. Maybe this will help, listen to the second half as well...it’s current and these people are medical professionals.

There's was no implication in my post above that a vaccine would be available soon, they normally take years. Which is why I said for the remaining, if needed.

Vaccines were developed for SARS and MERS but there was no demand to finish the trials and go into production. The survivors developed a natural immunity (herd immunity - nature's way).

I was really concerned for the people of the UK when they said they would be implementing the herd immunity theory. But I was also really curious to see if it worked. Apparently during the Spanish flu there was a second wave that was worse than the first so the herd idea was to combat that. Anyways, they changed their minds and decided to tank their economy also.

Malaria drug being used in France seems promising. If they can get that to work then all the high risk people will be protected and the rest of us can move on with another cold to deal. Sooner the better.

Not sure UK is doing the herd immunity, but they are trying to spread the disease out in time because they haven't had enough hospital beds for years. The Netherlands is trying the herd immunity route, let's see how it goes. I also heard about the French announcement about that drug some weeks ago, but there's been complete silence here since then.
Now about medicine, over-prescription is rife and big pharmacy makes money from selling more products, so naturally they push them. Doctors should really be be keeping an open mind. Natural remedies can also be good in some cases, but sometimes a specific medicine is required - for instance insulin for type 1 diabetes. There's no homeopathic alternative to that. My wife gets a biological medicine every few weeks for her rheumatism, only thing that helps as it suppresses a very specific situation. Rheumatism is rampant without it, completely suppressed with it.
