20200326: Hydroxychloroquine. Mastering the Learning Curve.

Q Treepers, by nature, are curious people. We have members with broad experience in various disciplines within our group, and yet, we’re old/wise enough to defer to others in their specialty. Good thing we’re all blessed with an inordinate amount of common sense. We’re also, normally, about 4-6 weeks ahead of the MSM……. Today, we’re looking out on the horizon and what do we see as a potential problem in the next month or so? You may see beautiful mountains and rivers, the scenery of West Virginia.

Yes, we’re fortunate at Q Tree to have those members who can help us with technical medical info. For me, I’m good at counting things, medicine is not my wheelhouse….. but I sure can count money and square footage. I’m approaching the plateau of the COVID-19 Learning Curve when it comes to a virus/therapeutics/vaccines/bats and bioweapons, but when a China virus solution which costs trillions of taxpayer dollars, the hair stands up on the back of my neck and my eyebrows start to twitch. I can’t help it. We’re gonna need more information.

For the time being, let us set-aside the 2+4 trillion for the Senate bill, and let’s focus on the virus itself. The USA and world economies will not get back to normal until we have SOME kind of treatment. We need to alleviate the fear, remove a few of the unknown variables. Hydroxychloroquine + ZPack seems to be the easiest treatment for COVID-19. The drug cocktail is receiving a LOT of attention, both good and bad, depending on your politics. We know Bayer donated 3 million doses, Teva donated 6 million, and Novartis donated 130 million, but the USA will need more, and the world would need billions of doses. Okay, where are the meds coming from and who is paying for them? We need to know who we are paying, right? We certainly don’t want to send USD to China!

On my Q Tree horizon, I see 1,000,000 sq.ft. factory under roof, 23 acres, in Morgantown, WV. It’s been the home of Mylan Pharmaceuticals since 1965. Yet, we detect a strange smell, the stench of a dead fish….. or a big fat rat, maybe it’s a swamp rat. We need more information. Let’s dig deeper. Shall we?

Mylan Pharma/Labs is enormous and linked to WVU, a large university medical system in Morgantown, WV.

Mylan is/was #396 on the Fortune 500 and largely makes generics. TODAY, Mylan Labs announced, reported by FOX BUSINESS, they released the proprietary licensing on the generic for Hydroxychloroquine so any pharma can gear up and make the drugs during a National Emergency. Do you suppose the USA is expecting a Malaria outbreak? Gee whiz, wonder if it has something to do with that treatment for CCP Virus the President has been talking about….. you know the one……. where the media assumes Trump is crazy/dangerous/may kill people? Why would Mylan make such an announcement?

Crisis = Opportunity = Money

Of course, Mylan Pharma announced March 19, 2020: (That’s a week ago. Did you see MSNBC reporters interviewing any execs at Mylan?)

….. restarted production of its hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets at its West Virginia manufacturing facility as a potential treatment for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. The company plans to have product available by mid-April and thinks it can ramp up to 50 million tablets, which could treat more than 1.5 million people. (Imagine our surprise, but this is good news, right?)

Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, a less toxic metabolite of chloroquine, are antiviral medications that are approved to treat malaria. Because it’s less toxic and has anti-inflammatory properties, hydroxychloroquine is also approved to treat a pair of auto-immune disorders, lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.

An article published in the journal Cell Research in February showed that chloroquine inhibited the 2019-nCoV coronavirus as well as Gilead Sciences‘ (NASDAQ:GILD) remdesivir in an experiment testing how well the virus infects cells grown in a laboratory. Gilead is running a late-stage clinical trial of remdesivir as a COVID-19 treatment, but since it hasn’t been approved for any diseases, remdesivir isn’t as widely available as chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. (Hmmmm, so…… Mylan Labs knows enough about the “Trump treatment” to go into full production, asap? But the media tells us it’s a dumb idea, right?)

Mylan Labs may sound familiar to Q Treepers…….. maybe?

Gosh……….she’s cute. Wait a minute……. She looks familiar…… Oh yes, that’s Heather Bresch, the CEO of Mylan Labs, the daughter of West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin. Heather went to a local high school and WVU for a degree in Poli Sci and International Relations. She started as a clerk, typing labels at Mylan and rose to CEO…. her daddy helped her get a job in 1992. Strange, in an entire Google page of hundreds of images, I can’t seem to find a picture of the two of them together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_Bresch

Heather lied about having an MBA, falsifying her resume. Mini-scandal in 2007 – WVU gave her the degree although she only finished 28/46 hrs required. But in 2008, professors on the panel who voted to grant Heather an MBA, had to retire under vote of no-confidence, and WVU rescinded her degree. Heather never lost her job. In the world of big pharma, sometimes it’s better to understand politics – rather than science and medicine. And Heather is reallllllllly good when it comes to understanding politics. From her Wikipedia page:

  • From 2002 to 2005, Bresch served as Mylan’s director of government relations.[15] She contributed to the development of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, which created Medicare Part D, a prescription-drug benefit.[16] (good idea but added to the deficit terribly)
  • Bresch persuaded several of Mylan’s competitors to support what became the Generic Drug User Fee Act, which she proposed to lawmakers in 2010.[19] Under the law the generics industry would pay the FDA fees of $300 million to get their drugs approved, and in return the FDA would inspect foreign drug manufacturing facilities at the same rate as U.S-based facilities (Single-handedly responsible for filling the coffers of the FDA)
  • Bresch was appointed president of Mylan in 2009[21] 
  • Bresch’s appointment as chief executive officer (CEO) was announced in 2011, and she officially took the position in January 2012.[21]
  • One of 18 female CEOs of a Fortune 500 company, and first female of a pharma.
  • The Obama Administration loved her: After seeing how few female candidates were available for positions that require a background in science and math, she became more interested in promoting math and science education among young girls.[29]
  • Bresch continued advocating for more regulation of the pharmaceutical industry by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).[19] 
  • She was named one of Fortune magazine’s “50 Most Powerful Women In Business” in 2014.

How does one become President of a major pharma in 2009, when they lied on their resume in 2007, and caused a scandal at WVU? Gosh, I couldn’t do that, but my daddy is not Joe Manchin. Does it sound a little suspicious to you?

https://media.giphy.com/media/gH8ZbdDsMHZzG/giphy.gif

And then, Mylan Pharma left the USA and no longer pays taxes here. They left for the Netherlands.

Also in 2014, Bresch and Mylan announced a $5.3 billion acquisition of Abbott Laboratories[31] as part of a corporate tax inversion plan to re-organize the company in the Netherlands and move its domicile to a country with lower taxes.[32] Bresch said it was a difficult choice to make, but it had to be done to maintain competitiveness against pharmaceutical manufacturers that had already executed similar inversion strategies.[30] The company completed the complex tax inversion in February 2015.[33] The inversion—which formally resulted in the creation of a new company, Mylan N.V., with 78% of its shares held by former Mylan Inc. shareholders and 22% of its shared held by Abbott Labs shareholders—was expected to immediately drop Mylan’s U.S. corporate tax rate to 21% (from 24%) in the first year “and into the high teens over the next three to five years.”[33] The New York Times said there was something “disconcerting” about a company that benefits from large government contracts renouncing their citizenship for tax benefits.[30]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_Bresch

With a Maximum Corp Tax rate of 21% after Trump’s Tax cuts, one would think Heather would bring back Mylan to the USA, right? Has she? ………… not yet. Heather had other problems. In 2016, Mylan was sued by 40 states Attys General for price fixing. It was an alleged conspiracy with Teva of Israel, which was seeking to acquire Mylan. https://www.bizjournals.com/pittsburgh/blog/the-pulse/2015/06/teva-mylans-morgantown-plant-stays-after.html

The price-fixing controversy was settled just in time for the EPIPEN disaster to come to the forefront. Heather didn’t resign under this PR disaster either.

Mylan acquired the 50yr old right to Epipen in years prior, but the product only had sales of $200 million. Heather came up with an idea. Read what Heather did to boost her stock price.

the company also successfully lobbied the FDA to broaden the label to include risk of anaphylaxis and in parallel, successfully lobbied Congress to generate legislation making EpiPens available in schools and in public places like defibrillators are, and hired the same people that Medtronic had worked with on defibrillator legislation to do so.[35][36] From 2007 to 2016, Mylan also increased the price of EpiPens by 461 percent, from around $100 for a package of two pens to around $600.[37] By the first half of 2015, Mylan had an 85% market share of such devices in the U.S.,[35] and in that year sales reached around $1.5B and accounted for 40% of Mylan’s profit.[38] 

Wait, let’s read that part again.…………. You mean….. We didn’t need defibrillators in schools and community centers until Medtronic lobbyists created the legislation to mandate it? Yep, that’s right.

And Heather Bresch followed the same model as Medtronic, hired the same lobbyists, and made Epi-Pens MANDATORY, then they increased the price of the Epipens from $100/two pack to $600/two-pack. Yep, that’s right. And Mylan pays taxes on the profits in Netherlands……. not the USA.

That’s what happened. Throughout the whole Epi-Pen controversy, parents screaming about the increase in price of Epi-Pens because they had to buy them to send their kids back to school, Heather never lost her job. She did agree to make a “generic” which was only $300/two-pack….. which is still much higher than original price before Mylan acquired the rights to sell the product. The controversy flooded the news:

  9. https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/08/25/how-parents-harnessed-the-power-of-social-media-to-challenge-epipen-prices/

Heather has done very well for herself. She’s been able to lobby the FDA to work on behalf of Mylan. She schmoozed both the Bush and Obama Administrations. She shipped an American company to the Netherlands (but she felt badly about it…..) so the USA no longer receives tax dollars……. the taxpayer just pays for the meds. And Heather? She kept her job despite lying on a resume and ripping off American parents. She’s profited handsomely. Proxy filings show that from 2007 to 2015, Bresch’s compensation rose from $2,453,456 to $18,931,068, a 671% increase in pay.[34][37]

As CEO, Heather makes a lot more than Daddy does as a Senator. I’m guessing Christmas dinner is held at Heather’s house. Whaddaya think? In the swamp of Dems taking care of their kids, Heather got a much better deal than Hunter Biden. Joe Manchin’s influence as Governor and a US Senator helped his daughter handsomely……….. or was it Heather’s husband?

Jeffrey J Bresch is an attorney with Jones Day.

Wut? It’s true. Heather is one connected lady.

And now, Heather is going to make Hydroxychloroquine again……… for a global pandemic. Mylan used to make about 70% of the global supply. The USA used to give it away to Africa to prevent Malaria. Did you know Mylan’s stock price was down 27% last year, during one of the biggest bull markets in history? https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/01/25/is-mylan-stock-a-buy.aspx Guess Mylan needs to boost revenue?

Surprised?

https://media.giphy.com/media/h81fYY4QWj4hlEuqiN/giphy.gif

Of course, it could all be a series of coincidences.

So many coincidences……. We have so many questions.

Research Request RE COVID-19

I have an urgent research request to my fellow QTreepers. I need to know if a drug called albuterol in particular, also known as salbutamol, and other similar “-ol” drugs more generally, and even the entire class of bronchodilators, are safe and effective in treating both active and especially *recovering* COVID-19 patients.

Such a drug seems like a no-brainer good guy. And yet – we are dealing with the CABAL. THE CABAL has tried to HIDE the good guys chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, and azithromycin. Only an active MOVEMENT OF THE WELL-INTENTION has broken past their media stranglehold on truth and the media cornucopia of lies.

I’ve seen far worse in the science world, where nobody except the fooled are watching.

Are there hidden DANGERS of using these drugs? Are there paradoxical effects? Have clinicians run into any problems using them? Are there reasons NOT to use them? Are there reasons why using them might APPEAR HELPFUL for COVID-19 but might in fact be CONTRAINDICATED or dangerous in certain cases?

After all, we are dealing with the CABAL here. They can mislead even the most well-intended scientists and physicians, by altering what they know and what they don’t know.

THINK QUARANTINE. THINK TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS. THINK CHLOROQUINE. THINK GLOBAL WARMING. THINK GREEN ENERGY.

The cabal has had the power to mislead even the “professionals”. I watched it up close in “shallow state”.

Sometimes the DEVIL YOU KNOW is less dangerous than the DEVIL YOU DON’T.

Asking for a friend! 😉

20200320: Dear CoronaVirus/ COVID-19/ China Virus/ WuFlu, Daily Thread

For the time being, given our national emergency, we are switching to DAILY COVID-19 threads instead of weekly threads. Your comments and updates are most welcome. PLEASE continue to include your valuable information, hard source links, and local observations on these COVID Daily Threads. Additionally, within these Daily Threads, we will try to include links to government and official pressers, so those who no longer have cable can remain informed.

We’ll get through this crisis, together. As a group, there is probably no one better prepared than we are.

For our newcomers: The Q Tree community has been diligent in covering the threat of Coronavirus, COVID19, Wuhan FLU. We started accumulating information about this virus in mid-late January, in what became almost weekly threads. We’ve been weeks, if not months, ahead of MSM outlets to vet rumors and other medical papers, etc.

Primary Update Links:

In our past weekly threads, we assembled information on the following:

  • Primary update links. The dashboard from Johns Hopkins which counts “official” cases all over the world, the CDC, and WHO, and includes the links for our past threads.
  • Hard Data Medical Information- Explanation about testing, reliance on China for drugs, analysis of NE Journal of Medicine results and other published papers.

ChiCom-19 as a 4GW Tsunami

I’ll say this much – the people who actually BELIEVED the Chinese Communist LULLPROP disinformation that “Chinese can’t invent anything” are going to be busy hiding the evidence for the rest of this fourth-generation war, and probably LONG AFTER THAT.

Teaching Americans not to respect our enemy was smart. Teaching Americans to teach that to each other was – dare I say – inventive.

But far more inventive was the new Chinese Virus, a.k.a. Wuhan Coronavirus, a.k.a. COVID-19, a.k.a. ChiCom-19. I shall be using the latter designation, despite the fact that someday we will likely use some captured Chinese military codename for the virus.

I have already talked about this virus as a 4GW (Fourth Generation Warfare) bioweapon HERE:

ChiCom-19 as a 4GW Bioweapon

This is a Twitter thread I just did, which Twitter is WILDLY SUPPRESSING for the ChiComs. Enjoy. W This person’s tweet was in reply to one of mine (see addendum), where I had stated to somebody else that I feared an Italy scenario would have happened in America if Trump had not THWARTED his opponents …

https://wqth.wordpress.com/2020/03/17/chicom-19-as-a-4gw-bioweapon/

Fourth Generation Warfare (4GW) has many definitions, and I will defer to originator William S. Lind and his followers for the official one. But for me, it can best be described as “radar war”. It is more about direction than magnitude. More about broadcast than visitation. More about “over there” than “right here”. More about “them” than “us”. More about “information” than “mass and energy”.

Here is Wikipedia’s entry for 4GW under “Modern Warfare”. You will see that it’s nothing like mine, but that’s OK. Pick whatever you want.

Fourth generation

Main article: Fourth generation warfare

Fourth generation warfare (4GW) is a concept defined by William S. Lind and expanded by Thomas X. Hammes, used to describe the decentralized nature of modern warfare. The simplest definition includes any war in which one of the major participants is not a state but rather a violent ideological network. Fourth Generation wars are characterized by a blurring of the lines between war and politics, combatants and civilians, conflicts and peace, battlefields and safety.

While this term is similar to terrorism and asymmetric warfare, it is much narrower. Classical insurgencies and the Indian Wars are examples of pre-modern wars, not 4GW. Fourth generation warfare usually has the insurgency group or non-state side trying to implement their own government or reestablish an old government over the one currently running the territory. The blurring of lines between state and non-state is further complicated in a democracy by the power of the media.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_warfare

One good way to look at 4GW is this way:

4GW is what the ChiComs do by nature, which Trump and Flynn understood, and which is why China had to try to stop them, using China’s 4GW assets all over the planet.

4GW is all about ASYMMETRY, or rather what everybody on this planet calls asymmetry, which is, to some extent, WRONG. What they really mean is a KIND of symmetry which involves small things balancing large things.

O_O and o_o have a certain symmetry that most people call symmetry.

o _ O and O _ o also have a certain symmetry, but everybody calls this “asymmetry”. WHATEVER.

I mean more like the second case, where there are “more apparent and more significant structurally balancing inequalities”.

A 4GW bioweapon isn’t going to be stupid like a nuke. The reason we HAVE 4GW is because of the stupidity of nukes. No – a 4GW bioweapon is likely to be rather unexpected. It may have MINIMAL biological effects, to HIDE its threat, and to allow plausible deniability, but at the same time, it may have devastating ORTHOGONAL EFFECTS.

You see what I’m sayin’? It might be VERY smart – even INVENTIVE.

Now, let me get straight to the point.

Tonight, watching a PBS special presentation of NOVA – actually a very old one – I suddenly realized that the ChiCom-19 virus isn’t just any old 4GW bioweapon – smart and inventive as that may be.

No – it’s designed to be the CENTERPIECE of a very cunning type of radiative warfare that we have never seen before.

I then realized that the ChiComs KNEW that the first historically significant use of a bioweapon could not be some crude bullshit like a terrorist attack. It had to be something completely new and unseen – JUST LIKE THE WEAPON ITSELF.

The PBS special was about the 2011 Japan tsunami that took out a significant part of Japan’s northeastern shoreline. And as I watched the program – both the graphics of the tsunami waves racing across the Pacific, and the very peculiarly non-obvious and victim-surprising dangers of the tsunami – I realized that the ChiCom-19 battle plan was build on the principle of a tsunami.

I even watched the wave race out and strike Hawaii – where there were NO DEATHS due to “over-reaction” by local officials, and realized what in the heck Mike DeWine was doing.

ASYMMETRIC DEFENSE.

Which is why old-school thinkers like Bill Mitchell – who try to linearize everything – are the SUPPORTERS, and guys like Trump and DeWine are the LEADERS. They see the idea of “balancing asymmetries”. And they see it pretty damn fast. Before I did.

FACE IT. Whoever came up with this Rommel-level attack is INVENTIVE AS HELL. I think we’ll be reading about him or her in MILITARY HISTORY BOOKS.

So now, let me explain – in much greater detail – exactly HOW this thing is modeled after a tsunami.

Let’s start off with something called THE TRUMP DOCTRINE.

Here is the SUNDANCE VERSION, which I think is a GREAT defintion:

Here is my version, which is pretty much the same thing, but coming at it from more of an enforcement standpoint.

And here, I’m being very specific to the case at hand.

The Chinese communists bitterly reject the Trump doctrine. It’s not hard to see why. Their FAKE, non-popular, elitist, broken version of feudalist socialism is built on dishonor, deception, and evasion of responsibility.

Generally speaking, the Chinese prefer to commit their crimes utterly unseen, but if not that, than at least unrecognized as a crime.

SO – how do you attack America with a biological weapon without being seen? Well, that’s actually pretty dangerous. In the end, an attack WILL be surmised, and it will be recognized as an act of war. So in this case, UNRECOGNIZED beats UNSEEN.

THIS is where the interesting symmetry of the tsunami comes in.

Tsunamis aren’t really tsunamis where they START – they’re EARTHQUAKES under the SEA.

Where the tsunami STARTS, it’s just a change in the level of the seawater, suddenly rising or falling a small height over a vast area.

From roughly the point of origin, a VERY interesting wave takes off in all directions. Now it may not look like what is shown above, but that’s the basic idea – a WAVE STARTS and TRAVELS OUTWARD at a very high rate of speed.

The thing is, that wave doesn’t cause a lot of damage. NOT AT FIRST.

In fact, until such a wave approaches land, it’s entirely survivable by boats. Here is the 2011 tsunami when it was actually very close to the Japanese shoreline.

These people unaffected by the tsunami are a lot like the asymptomatic carriers and “normal, young, healthy people” who experience ChiCom-19 either not at all, or like a mild case of the flu. For them, a tsunami simply “isn’t that bad”. Same with people farther inland. THEY THEMSELVES do not actually experience the devastating effects of the tsunami ON THEIR OWN BODIES.

In other words, they live. They may experience SOCIETAL EFFECTS, but they themselves survive.

Tsunamis only cause a lot of damage in specific places. To be honest, they don’t even LOOK as dangerous as a hurricane or a tornado. Not until the last minute. But the thing is, in the places where tsunamis DO cause a lot of damage – spread out widely from the point of origin – they cause a LOT of damage.

In the places where the tsunami hits, any people who can’t get away by SOME act of getting to higher ground, are basically screwed.

All of this – ALL of this – is perfectly analogous to what ChiCom-19 does.

https://twitter.com/BasedPoland/status/1240470914560675842

Tsunamis don’t strike with the same intensity everywhere, and they strike at very odd times. None of it is linear. Because the waves change speeds, heights, and directions – following streets, rivers, lowlands, breachable obstructions, and other features they encounter, they can CHANGE dramatically.

Tsunami waves, when they finally reach their target, can be dangerously deep and murderous in some places, and defensible in others very closeby.

What is basically DAMAGELESS in one community can DESTROY another next to it.

https://twitter.com/Alison4Trump/status/1240531228740055045

In many ways, NURSING HOMES are the “seashore communities” of ChiCom-19. And it only takes ONE OR TWO SPREADERS to DEVASTATE THEM – just like a too-low seawall, or a bay feature, or a RIVER, was all that was necessary for the Sendai tsunami to destroy a village.

10,000 people died in one village in Japan – over a third of the total victims. How do we know that we would not have a city like that – somehow utterly unprepared for ChiCom-19?

What a beautifully sinister way to wreak destruction upon a foe. A CRIME with no apparent PERPETRATOR – just the FIRST VICTIMS in the country with the CRIMINAL government.

In Germany, those first victims – good German citizens betrayed by their criminal Nazi government – were killed just as cruelly as the first victims of ChiCom-19.

Just as a tsunami eventually impacts many things besides seashore communities, including the national economy, so the ChiCom-19 tsunami battle plan was designed as a form of economic warfare.

Just as the Japan earthquake created a tsunami that caused a reactor meltdown, almost destroying the Japanese nuclear industry, so the Chinese “rebellion-stopping internal virus release” created a viral pandemic designed to strike hospital intensive care units around the world – but particularly in the United States, where it threatened to destroy our healthcare industry, just recovering from the Stalinist and Maoist inefficiencies of Obamacare, so it might be forced BACK into socialized medical FAILURE.

The whole point is that China KNEW what it was doing. It KNEW what the virus was. It LIED about the virus to give it TIME to get to its destinations BEFORE people could react properly.

I could go on, but there’s no need. I’m going to let you readers have some fun spotting more shocking analogies.

Just read some articles and watch some videos about tsunamis.

Maybe look at some OTHER tsunamis.

You will see – this virus was given the characteristics, the circumstances, AND the ASSISTANCE needed for it to STRIKE America just like a tsunami.

So what’s happening now?

As far as I’m concerned, whatever our Commander In Chief wants to tell us.

This person’s tweet was in reply to one of mine (see addendum), where I had stated to somebody else that I feared an Italy scenario would have happened in America if Trump had not THWARTED his opponents as he did. I do NOT believe that an Italy scenario is inevitable here – AT ALL. In fact, I feel that such thinking is unwise at best – dangerous at worst.

My initial reaction was that the person subconsciously HOPES for the bad stuff to happen to America to “get Trump”. So did several other posters, a few of whom replied to him negatively.

What is very interesting is that this TDS poster does NOT see himself AT ALL as having a “Schadenfreude for Trump Failure” worldview. And yet, I am pretty sure that most of us, reading his comment, can not only sense it, but can sense the beginnings of both hoax-tolerating TDS, and maybe even hoax-permitting TDS.

To me, this is psychology which the Chinese communists KNOW deeply, CREATE easily, and EXPLOIT routinely. All of our lying, hoaxing socialist Democrat neighbors are – IMO – the product of Chinese communist understanding of how to mass-brainwash Americans through a captive media.

I kindly ask people to treat this person nicely and not give him a bunch of shit. I sense the possibility of psychological breakthrough here. I mean, I’m trying to save Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Maybe HE can learn to save Donald Trump, who has done more to save RBG than ANY OF US.

Thanks!

Moving on again…..

Deconstructing ChiNazi / Iranian / Fake News False Narratives About CoronaVirus and Reconstructing The Truth

Something REALLY stinks in China and Iran, and it’s not just the burning bodies.

The TIMELINES simply don’t add up. They are FALLING APART. And you know it’s REAL because somebody is racing to rescue it.

Facebook is now cracking down on “unapproved” posts about the CoronaVirus.

Yeah, Chinaberg. I can do the math.

There was a point, recently, where I found that I could explain a LOT MORE about COVID-19 by abandoning China’s version of events, and coming up with my own. Part of that was explaining my own SARS-like symptoms, from a definite Corona infection that I picked up in mid-January at an “Iran-connected” meeting. Of course, at THAT time, we knew nothing about Iran.

But how could that be? It doesn’t fit the TIMELINE.

Good thing I stayed out of nursing homes for two weeks, thanks to a 5-day induction period, and having seen the DEADLY GRAPH of COVID morbidity vs. age, but it was close. My friend Suspicious Cat may have saved a few old veterans.

vigilanti semper

I’m still not breathing right, by the way. THAT bugs me. It feels very “SARS”.

My wife and neighbor did well, but my neighbor’s wife was hit pretty hard. I think that she, like me, is an ex-smoker.

But it’s more than personal. Things just don’t add up – and I’m not just talking about the NUMBERS, which are OFF. The numbers are showing too many positives too fast in the wrong countries and specific people – meaning those who generally seem too “helpful” to China and Iran if they caught it.

Bolsonaro? Oh, as soon as I saw that near-hit, I realized that I could WRITE THAT OPERATION. The VECTOR DEFLECTOR on that one – oh – that was “too smart”. Y’all know what I’m sayin’? Oh, that was SLICK. I smell Chinese intelligence ALL OVER that.

No – it’s more than just the numbers.

The Chinese communists and the Iranians – poor victims? No. This doesn’t sniff right. Mass graves in Iran that are the BAD GUYS and not the INNOCENT GOOD GUYS? No. That doesn’t sniff right. Execution-style gunfire recorded by half-hidden phones in China, then disappearing from the Fake News here? No. That doesn’t sniff right.

Young doctors dying and disappearing in China? Hmmmm. Maybe there ARE explanations. Maybe these are the SAME duplicitous ChiComs and the SAME scheming Iranians we’ve always known – SNEAKY – LYING – FAKING – HOAXING – TRICKING – and Fake News is simply helping to sell ONE MORE SOCIALIST / GLOBALIST NARRATIVE.

YES. That’s where I am now. There is a NARRATIVE coming from China, Iran, and the Fake News, and I no longer buy it.

How do we know they weren’t political prisoners from recent uprisings?
With or without death by coronavirus?

I suppose we can thank Rod Rosenstein’s sister, Neutron Nancy, for her early attitude on testing, which OH SO UNFORTUNATELY hid any cases in the United States other than NARRATIVE cases involving cruise ships. And THANK YOU GAIL for that piece of the puzzle, because THAT really helped me see things. They wanted it here. And they wanted it to STICK.

Sorry, this is all bullshit.

And now – NOW – I’m hearing that I’m not the only author here who had a NASTY, NOVEL, RESPIRATORY DISEASE in December or January, where the only reason NOT to think it was probably COVID 19, is the CHINESE / IRANIAN / FAKE NEWS narrative timeline.

SIDEBAR: I am asking all people here who think they may have gotten COVID-19 outside of the Fake News timeline, including those who previously shared information, to please re-post a description of their experience HERE for it to be available to researchers who find this post. The more non-personal details provided, the better.

Wolf Moon 1776

It took ONE OR TWO PEOPLE here to start questioning the ChiCom narrative openly, and all of a sudden – BOOM – many of us who were PRIVATELY questioning it, start questioning it BIGLY and PUBLICLY.

NOW do you see why Mark Chinaberg is having an emergency over at Facebook? They have to shut this stuff down. And they CAN.

That is the beauty of socialist media. Just like China, they can shut it down. Just like 2016, they can support THE HOAX. They have complete control.

Well, too bad, Mark. WE’RE going to discuss it here. We need SKEPTICISM to figure out what’s going on.

SO – I am inviting everybody here to BE HONEST – spill it. What are your thoughts – your speculations – your theories – your questions – your ideas – your inspirations – your absolutes – your certainties – your uncertainties – your fears – your doubts – your revelations – your own experiences – EVERYTHING you think about the CHINESE / IRANIAN / FAKE NEWS narrative surrounding this virus, and what you think is REALLY going on.

Let’s brainstorm this stuff until ChiComs and Fake News Hoaxers are wetting their undies.

SPILL!

Scott Adams Plus Nine – Ten People to Watch To Get Ahead of Media-Promoted Corona Insanity

Scott Adams was RIGHT about Trump. And he will be proven RIGHT about Corona. Follow him, if you don’t want to get lost in the hype and the madness.

1 – Scott Adams

Right now, many people are suffering grave confusion about the corona virus. They are NOT exhibiting what I now believe would be calm, constructive, aware, and SURVIVAL-BOUND [for everybody] patterns of thinking. They are in fact headed for trouble of their own making.

If not trouble for themselves, then trouble for others.

Many of you should prepare to be pissed off by what I say next.

At the one end, of what I regard as “wrong on corona”, are people who say “it’s all a hoax” – typically from the comfort of an age group that is unlikely or less likely to die. Yeah, they’re right – there IS a lot of bullshit here – TOTALLY ADMITTING THAT – and the enemies of Trump are pushing that bullshit hard. But remember – the SNEAKIER weapon than a purely disinformative pimping of a normal virus, is an ACTUAL BAD VIRUS, because then it can be weaponized for ALL KINDS OF ERROR.

Too much response. Too little response. Or just WRONG RESPONSE.

But yes, there are still some who believe corona is a COMPLETE hoax – that the whole world has turned a 100% nothingburger into a 100% fake “impossibleburger”. For them it is ALL a hoax. They will believe nothing else. They will FIGHT YOU over even the strongest and most scientific indication that there is a real virus that kills people of some age – of ANY age – more strongly than a normal bad flu. They are RELIGIOUSLY opposed to believing this thing has ANY reality. They are reactive to any argument, almost to the extent that shills are reactive to any argument.

My advice? Walk away – stay away – don’t invite them anywhere near you or those you love. Such people are not going to give a shit when they accidentally kill you or your parents in assisted living. They may be nice people, but they are dangerously myopic, and you cannot afford to be around such people right now. The accidentally infective are bad enough. The willfully infective are an unnecessary risk.

At the other end, are the people who think we’re all gonna die. These people are simply wrong. They – like the “no danger” crowd – are a RISK.

Watch this entire clip for maximum benefit.

Notice how only TWO PEOPLE are thinking AHEAD here – (1) the woman who understands the math and science of momentum, and (2) the child who understands animal behavior from experience.

Others are acting SMART, for the most part, but only two are THINKING AHEAD in a CONSTRUCTIVE MANNER when CRISIS HITS.

Yeah, it’s just a movie, but we relate to it because we see this stuff all the time. The reason I am here with you right now, is because I directed people how to apply first aid to ME when I could not. COOL HEADS SURVIVE.

So where are MOST OF US on the coronavirus?

Most of us are in the middle, where we are over-reacting in some ways, under-reacting in others, and generally located somewhere on the first 4 stages of THIS CURVE:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%BCbler-Ross_model

So how did I survive that crisis where I, the victim, was the only person who knew first aid?

One of the FIRST THINGS that I do in (1) a crisis, or (2) betting on horses, is to FIGURE OUT QUICKLY WHO KNOWS THEIR SHIT.

Who is calling the shots beforehand and getting it right?

Scott Adams was one of the first and best “Trump Whisperers” and “Trumpsplainers”. He demonstrated a powerful ability to help us make sense of Trump’s weird election magic, during 2015 and 2016. As Adams explained, Trump is one of the greatest “persuaders” of all time.

If you followed Scott on Trump, which generally meant following Scott on Twitter or his own website, then you know what I’m talking about.

Let me tell you right now – following Scott Adams on the coronavirus will be one of the BEST moves you ever made in your life.

Turns out I was almost following Scott’s plan, but not quite. I had the [physical world] social isolation stuff down, but not all of the other stuff as good as it could be.

Calming, isn’t it?

This guy knows his shit. He’s very persuasive, just like Trump, because he knows how AWESOME a weapon TRUTH is.

Do yourself a favor and follow him.

NOW – time to show you nine other people who are very good follows on Twitter, to stay ahead of things. One or two tweets from each.

HERE WE GO.

2 – John Carlos Baez – physicist

John Baez is a very no-nonsense guy. He doesn’t suffer crackpots, and he’s even brusque and unfriendly toward “woo woo” physics types when they pull out the antimatter drive. Much of the time, his lack of diplomacy about saying what needs to be said annoys me, being that I am more of an eye-roll comforter and interpreter of crackpots. However, right now, we need a BITCHSLAP, and Baez is the guy to deliver it.

You need THIS THREAD.

https://twitter.com/johncarlosbaez/status/1238147289534717952

This tweet is simply IMPORTANT.

https://twitter.com/johncarlosbaez/status/1238149595105865728

Even his retweets are important.

Yeah, take a look at that graph…..

Or how about THIS RETWEET?

‘Nuff said. You *MIGHT* want to follow this guy.

3 – President Donald Trump (uncensored)

This account goes without saying, but let me clue people in on some things.

Remember THIS most of all…..

ALL TRUMP TWEETS AGE WELL.

The Progzis hate this, but it’s true. So bear it in mind like a weapon – like a cheater pipe that gives you MOAR from every Trump tweet.

Trump is the ZEN CENTER. Watch and learn.

Trump teaches with EVERY THING HE DOES OR DOESN’T DO. EVERY SINGLE THING.

Follow POTUS – on his “unofficial” account, realDonaldTrump. It’s one of his best avenues of communication outside of rallies.

4 – Gab.com (Andrew Torba)

https://twitter.com/getongab/status/1238250741955006468

Yeah, don’t think for a moment that I’m not capable of CYNICALLY SYMPATHIZING with the two extremes I just dissed. I just do so from the position of STARK REALISM that both are right on some mutually exclusive things, so they can’t both be right on all things.

Andrew Torba and Gab have been kicked to the curb by so many dupes, foils, useful idiots, and controlled opposition groups – to say nothing of the very ENEMIES of those groups – that they have vision through complexities that most people don’t even begin to see as PRESENT.

https://twitter.com/getongab/status/1238264794173648896

So yeah – Torba sees right into the UNSPEAKABLE REALITIES of CORONAVIRUS.

https://twitter.com/getongab/status/1238262909010141188

I only suggest following him if you can HANDLE him, and – quite frankly – most cannot. However, viewpoints like Torba’s are actually a form of vaccination against many mental pathologies such as PC, so I really recommend following him if you can even BARELY STAND him.

My prediction? You will eventually admire him – even if at a distance.

5 – The Last Refuge (Sundance)

If you’re HERE, then you know why you probably need to be following SD on Twitter.

GET GRANULAR WHEN YOU NEED GRAIN.

Part of being a survivor is TRULY getting over lingering animosities. This allows you to THINK CLEARLY.

LOGICAL THINKING. You should be paying attention to Sundance right now. It’s LOGICAL.

At the very least, you can watch Sundance educate people on all the things they need educating on.

6 – Sharyl Attkisson – real journalist

You can really tell a lot about a journalist by whether the FAKE NEWS turns against them. This kind of brutal honesty is why the Fake News will do it.

https://twitter.com/SharylAttkisson/status/1238269876566929409

Sharyl, in my opinion, has been one of the BRAVEST and most independent voices in medical reporting EVER. In my opinion you cannot be getting the complete picture without getting her take on things.

https://twitter.com/SharylAttkisson/status/1238268902062329858

Sharyl is BRAVE enough to take positions that not only take heat, but are enough to get her into trouble.

https://twitter.com/SharylAttkisson/status/1238265121606115328

Very few people do this. Sharyl is one of them.

I strongly suggest following her, because if something comes out of left field, she will spot it.

7 – Jack Posobiec – journalist / operative

Yeah, you may be wise to the fact that Jack Posobiec is some kind of mystery shill, behind his journalism gig, but I DON’T CARE – you will get the good stuff from him, even when he’s in “DISINFO MODE”, and in that event you just reinterpret him.

Right now, you will get a lot of good stuff. Stick with him.

And besides – I just have to love the way this guy trolls the PC buttheads. Enjoy some Posobiec!

8 – Rich Higgins – intelligence analyst

This is the guy who spotted how the Democrats and Deep State were weaponizing the red-green axis to try to get rid of President Donald Trump. He warned Trump, was discovered by globalist dupe General McMaster, and was fired. This says it all, right there.

https://twitter.com/RichHiggins_DC/status/1238286192573124611

Rich isn’t afraid to take on the shills and carnival barkers of the left, and he does so with absolute glee.

https://twitter.com/RichHiggins_DC/status/1238258198320201728

You NEED this guy, to watch KARMA descend on the politicizing, corrupt, incompetent Soviet Democrats, and their FAKE NEWS machine.

https://twitter.com/RichHiggins_DC/status/1238292621757427713

9 – Bill Mitchell – MAGA anti-HYPE WARRIOR

Nobody is doing a better job of fighting the weaponized, anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, Fake News CHEERLEADERS OF DOOM, than our Trump “braggist” Bill Mitchell.

This guy is a wonderful man and he is CALMING PEOPLE DOWN. Yeah, he’s technically over-calming on the elderly, but that is a small-potatoes sin in my book. There are so many who are hyping it up big, and so few who are 95% right like this guy, so I have to support the 95% right.

You can feel free to talk back gently and respectfully to Bill – he WILL NOT BAN YOU! So GET IN THE CONVERSATION! Follow Bill Mitchell.

10 – OUR DAUGHN!!!

You’ve been following Daughn’s articles here, but THAT IS NOT ENOUGH. Before those articles happen, she is out on Twitter interacting with all the big names and FIGURING OUT WHAT’S NEXT…..

Getting our PRIORITIES STRAIGHT…..

Fighting with liberals and defenders of Deep State and THE HOAX…..

Not afraid to take on WAKE UP MAGGIE and a whole assortment of VILLAINS….

Come on, people! Get out there with Daughn and FIGHT!!!

SO – there you have it.

TEN people on Twitter who can get you seeing WHAT’S HYPE and WHAT’S NOT.

People who can get you worried about OTHERS and not YOURSELVES.

People who REALLY ARE THE NEWS NOW.

PLEASE JOIN THEM IN THIS FIGHT.

Lazy Days and Nights – POL Garbageman Reporting from COHVID District 12

in which Wolf Moon introduces several new and not-so-new characters who he may or may not actually know, as political gossiptainment

We begin with a reminder of my dear sister Fox Moon, who managed to get herself into a previous weird post which dealt with the an absolutely beautiful and eminently believable TROLL of the Green New Deal.

Yes, indeed – “we don’t have to eat them now“. More on that later in this post, believe it or not.

ANYWAY – someday you’ll hear the full story of dear Sis, but not today.

These railroad tracks you see in this picture meander close to a certain community wherein you can find Fox, as well as additional canine relatives of Wolf, namely Coyote Moon and Dog Moon. Obviously we’re all related, but if you had to guess which one of us is the most domesticated, just going by the metaphor, you would probably pick wrong.

Coyote and Dog have a love-hate thing, and – well – the family just puts up with the nonsense. Kinda cute, but it gets old. ENTYWHO, it is through Dog, bless her nutty heart, that I became aware of my most excellent source, who I have nicknamed POL Garbageman, in the same style as ENT Lawyer (“ENTY“) of “CDAN” fame.

Let’s go backwards on that to explain who in the hell POL Garbageman – affectionately known as POLY (i.e., like “ENTY“) – might be.

CDAN stands for “Crazy Days and Nights“, one of THE BEST Hollywood gossip blogs. It is allegedly put out by an “entertainment lawyer” – hence ENT Lawyer – hence ENTY.

You may have heard of ENTY from NEON REVOLT, who is also a “Hollywood” persona, and who has popularized ENTY in ANON circles. This right here is useful reading.

https://www.neonrevolt.com/2020/01/02/how-epstein-caught-rachel-cdan-qanon-greatawakening-neonrevolt/

The equivalent of Q drops in CDAN world is a thing called “blind items“, wherein ENTY posts a scandalous story with just enough information that “those in the know” can figure out who he’s talking about. After it eventually becomes obvious to EVERYBODY who was being talked about, typically through developing legal troubles, ENTY will then confirm the actual identities with a “reveal”.

https://www.crazydaysandnights.net/

You can click on the picture or the link for a closer look.

Are you with me?

OK.

Now, what ENTY is to high-powered entertainment and political scandals, POLY is to bush league, grass-roots, who-in-the-hell-are-these-people political scandals in ONE SMALL FLYOVER COMMUNITY that happens to be – unfortunately for all involved – right in the center of a MASSIVE firefight between Republicans and Democrats in a swing state.

So when you see WOLF’S ears perk up about stuff in that place – well – it means that WOLF is about to have a STORY and POLY has most likely been ON THE JOB.

Ah, yes. As you can see by the above image, my dear sister has a real sense of humor about this dysfunctional relationship, but what the hell – in this paleface world of encroaching civilization, Fox steals cat food [read: gets juicy leads from “moonstruck” suits] and Wolf does a little “dumpster diving”. Coyote yips and Dog howls. All is well in Moon Meadows. Pocahontas wishes she had a fraction of the action found on the Moon Tribe Reservation, where Suspicious Cat always has a home with his canine friends.

Anyway, POL Garbageman’s blind items are sometimes discernible to those who are familiar with politics in “a certain swing state”. Now – one has to be careful – a lot of the CRAP that “Amazing POLY” (the Bulllova of watchmen) digs up isn’t what you think it is at first. Too-clear half-and-half in a funny deflated balloon may be – ERRRRR – something else. Likewise, something else may actually be spittle and cream in an old birthday balloon from Chuck-E-Cheese. It takes a PROFESSIONAL to sort this stuff out.

That’s where I come in.

Now – thanks to the amazing POLY, I’m in possession of two blind items which appeared to be garbage at first, but now appear to be some kind of precious metal worth recycling – possibly aluminum or even steel. Because time is short before they reach their expiration dates, I’m leaving them on a bench in the park for others to figure them out beyond what I can do.

One leads nowhere, but is interesting as hell, and typical of the politics in my dear sister’s abode. The other is potentially shocking in its ramifications, because it appears to be part of a new global hoax. And while Democrat hoaxes are a dime a dozen – even the global ones that involve millions of deaths – a new one is always good for many memes.

So let’s GO THERE. Shocking goes first, because it’s less of a mystery.

BLIND ITEM #1

This JV “aw shucks” red shirt barely got a speaking role in Star Trek: Pelosi, after a squeaker Oscar from a Trump-praised performance in the off-season nail-biter indy film District 12. Everybody thinks he’s gonna win a role in Star Trek: McCarthy, but certain virally persuasive overseas backers of the project seem to have a different idea for the next installment of the franchise – both the youngish talent and the name of the film. Two young starlets seeking the role, curiously the same age, are being sent out, like young, fresh, female versions of Mini Mike and Crazy Bernie, in a match that looks curiously like Biden vs. Bernie. Those with an opinion think it’s all Blue League Roller Derby, but nobody knows who Captain P. really plans to have star with her in the internationally-backed sequel. The last “aw shucks” blue shirt wasn’t convincing enough to get the role. Will a white AOC do it?

The young starlets both say the right things to get an audition – that it’s time to reign in the phasers and retire McCoy’s country doctor routine for whoever that guy named “O” gives you. One swears she’s almost a red shirt, and that hubs is handy with a phaser. But still – she says we gotta do something about unregulated phasers, unequal medical scanners, and unapproved, misleading fanfic. On that last item, hope you’re ready for a No. 2 pencilneck. Scary stuff. The other swears that she’s an outsider – despite money, organization, attention to process, and that old picture of her with the genius who invented the internet. One looks like she walked out of White Hatty’s Palace of Smoke and Mirrors. The other looks like an Irish version of AOC.

The red-haired AOC is running as Florence Nightingale above the fold, and curiously in time with the moment’s viral melodies coming from the overseas backers. Very convenient that they’re sending such particular casting right now – when a closer inspection shows that this particular talent may have been in the pipe for quite some time. The implications are unsettling.

BLIND ITEM #2

This character actor has played a wide variety of minor roles in local and regional theater, as well as a few years in the cinematic big time. He’s a local red shirt machine room boy from way back. Never rose above red shirt, but he has always been a popular team player. He was holding the hatchet when Tea-phoid Mary went down, so the machine could get their boy into the starring role in One of Fifty Theaters. It was a clean hit, but it was dirty politics. Dirty politics, as the last theater star bitterly called it on his way out. The karma – it burns.

Somebody wants revenge. The Mailers of Death are falling all over Fox Meadows like it’s VJ day and the bombers are on the horizon. The character actor, long ago, said unfortunate things about a man who would become No. 1 on Team Red. Those things are coming back to haunt him. Old machine things, and old machine positions, distorted in embarrassing ways, so obviously that’s not who’s behind the leaflet drop. In fact, the machine room wants him in the show, again, in a non-speaking role. But it may not be enough. If people aren’t reading their slate cards, or if the Bible-and-Gun-Cling-ons successfully decloak, this old red shirt may go where red shirts are wont to go.

The big question is, who does Red No. 1 really want here? It’s too small for an endorsement either way, and Red Shirt may not be the most Q+T-pie pick of the litter, but he wields a mean hatchet that might be useful for Blind Item #1, when the Borg arrive in the fall. Trust the Plan? Sure. Trust the Machine? Nobody knows, because nobody knows if it’s part of the Plan. Mysteries abound.

There you go. I have a strong idea what is going on here – COUGH – but I will let this sit out there for a while before I post reveals, in hopes that I’ll have better answers.

Enjoy the show. Even if it’s all kabuki.

Interesting. Pocahontas, Q, and Wolf Moon ain’t the only ones sending coded smoke signals.

20200305: Coronavirus Ground Reports

This is a continued thread especially meant for reporting your ACTUAL PERSONAL ground reports – what you are SEEING and HEARING about the coronavirus, and your THOUGHTS in relation to those things.

OTHER reports of things relevant to PREPARATION, QUARANTINE, and TREATMENT are welcome.

However, please remember that the normal coronavirus thread may be a more suitable place for your comment – particularly if it is related to politics, international actions, biowarfare, investigations, virology, and origination of the epidemic.

If so, go HERE:

LINK: https://wqth.wordpress.com/2020/03/01/2020-march1st-7th-coronavirus-covid19-xivirus-wuflu-6th-update-thread/

The PREVIOUS ground report thread is HERE:

LINK: https://wqth.wordpress.com/2020/03/03/20200303-coronavirus-ground-reports/

I’ll go first.

I was at the FLYOVER GROCERY STORE again today. Same grocery chain – different store.

I was there to shop for specific items that I wanted, such as guaifenesin, and to deepen our stock of normal edible items and paper products which will keep us from having to go to the store during any local quarantine.

So YEAH – I wanted to buy a good supply of TP!!!

These are the things I observed….

About as busy as usual on a busy day, before a holiday, in the middle of the afternoon.

The carts were ALMOST all GONE from the cart bay area. This is typical when they’re busy.

Crowd behavior seemed almost but not quite normal, in contrast to complete normalcy almost two days earlier. The customers just seemed edgier than before. The crowd is a bit older on average at this store, so perhaps that’s part of why they seemed more concerned. However, I suspect that more frequent reports of identified patients in the United States is having the greatest effect here.

Normally the pharmaceutical section is almost empty of shoppers in the aisles. One or two overall. Today, three or four. There were MORE than the usual number of people looking over pharmacy products – about the same density as the rest of the store.

Overall pharmaceutical and vitamin stock was good. NO EMPTY SHELVES SEEN in that section.

I did not closely inspect vitamins – I was interested in GUAIFENESIN (Mucinex) in particular.

There were many choices in the cold and flu remedies, but I could tell that they were moving quickly, because there was evidence of a lot of inspection of products (moved, misplaced, disordered).

The CHEAP GENERIC guaifenesin was moving VERY FAST, and I had to REACH WAY BACK for a second package.

Otherwise, plenty of products.

Guaifenesin (Mucinex) now requires a DRIVER’S LICENSE – not just a date – and they are scanning the DL into the system. COUGH.

According to the clerk, this policy on this particular product began A WEEK AGO. I cannot verify this – I have never bought it before.

“Normie prepper products” are being placed in prominent displays at the ENDS OF AISLES. These items include:

  • crackers and other traditional, long-lasting snack products
  • spaghetti and other dry pasta
  • helper products like Hamburger Helper and Tuna Helper
  • dried potatoes
  • coffee
  • toilet paper and paper towels
  • facial tissues
  • canned vegetables and meats
  • canned soups

I did not check wipes, despite noting that they were in the end-of-row display at the other store two days ago. I did not notice them this time, but I did not check all the rows.

LOTS of OJ, all kinds present. SOME types of milk seemed to be gone.

TOILET PAPER was taking the biggest hit. Efficiency brands (like Scott) preferred by tough-assed preppers were GONE. Fluffy Charmin and other wimpy brands of that “butt-fondling” sort remained in good quantity. The generic duplicate of Scott was moving quickly in its stead, but there was plenty.

Kleenex was not hit nearly as badly as TP.

Bulk quantity packs of most other things were NOT sold out – good quantities of “cases” of things remained.

No “prepper carts” seen – mine was probably the worst, and it was “crypto-prepper”, IMO.

In contrast to normal curiosity, I felt like people were studying my cart and what I was buying more than normally, but not negatively or judgmentally. They seemed to be asking themselves if they should “stock up”.

PSYCHOLOGY. On duty and being vigilant. People are playing attention and looking for signs that it’s OK to prepare.

BIGGER IMPRESSIONS

I get the following distinct impressions, even though I have no proof of them

  • bigger grocery chains are working with DHS, HHS and CDC
  • the feds are psychologically ENCOURAGING normal, common sense stocking
  • the feds are psychologically DISCOURAGING panic buying
  • the chains are sharing data on both STOCK ITEMS and PHARMACY PRODUCTS
  • the feds are using the data to “make sure the spice flows”

I smell blueberry muffins somewhere, and they ain’t ours.
