This is a thread for reporting your ACTUAL PERSONAL ground reports – what you are SEEING and HEARING about the coronavirus, and your THOUGHTS in relation to those things.
I’ll go first.
I was at the FLYOVER GROCERY STORE today.
These are the things I observed….
People are using the wipes on the cart handles without any self-consciousness.
Stock on freshly baked bread seemed lower than normal.
Easter candy is already out on display.
The number of people seemed normal.
Crowd behavior seemed normal.
Overall vitamin stock was FULL.
Vitamin C was dented but no items were empty – down to 2 or 3 bottles left on the shelf for some of the “economy size” items, so Vitamin C is definitely getting hit, but not OUT.
No other vitamins or supplements seemed affected.
Note that there are no COVID-19 patients in said city or region.
Orange juice stock looked normal.
All other stock looked normal.
Clorox Wipes have been placed on display at the end of the CANNED FOOD AISLE.
Wipes in the display were moving but not briskly enough to set off any alarms.
Canned food stocks are NORMAL.
Specials on mac-and-cheese, energy bars, tuna, and other “short term normie prepper” foods.
No grocery carts seemed to be of a “prepper” nature.
No panic behavior by cars or people.
So that’s it – pretty uneventful.
What say you?

Visual Descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Header and First Image: Is an enormous Tree standing alone in a clearing with a giant door built into the base of the trunk. A lone figure is approaching the doorway. There are patches of moss and small leafy branches emerging up and down the gnarled trunk. Second Image: Is an interior room with vaulted ceilings and arched throughways. There is a sturdy-looking couch with throw pillows and nearby armchairs. Behind the couch is a table and chairs…and there are additional seating groups in the adjacent spaces. Third Image: Is President Trump walking in the rain towards the steps of Air Force One, carrying an umbrella. The text on this image reads: The Storm Is Upon Us – God We Ask That You Shelter and Protect Our President.
Apparently, our little Coronavirus thread, and updated threads, are MILES ahead of the politicians and pundits on MSM (Sure wish we received classified briefings though, can you put in a word for us, Wolfie?) AND, I’ve found, publishing OUR link, along with a message of “We’ve been working on this issue since January. Here are 100’s of links, videos, sources, and hints. Be informed, not fearful”……… shuts down all political opposition. It’s truly stunning how ill-informed the media is on the subject (or they are intentionally misleading the public). The amount of DISINFO presents a hazard.
Nonetheless, our little thread has tremendous value, both as real information for those who are new to the subject or genuinely worried, AND for those who using the virus as a political weapon. I shared our thread today across social media. In the last 7 hours, I’ve received at least 2 dozen private messages of thanks and hundreds of short messages……. people feel better when they have information in their hands. Let’s give them information.
The current thread expires at the end of the month and I’m putting together a new one for the first week of March. Thinking we will update once a week until crisis subsides. Good idea or no?
Please, I need your contributions. Please post here, anything you have. I’ll be happy to sort it out over a long weekend and add to an updated thread. Please include a source/link, where you can and pretty please, DATE the source. I figured out a little too late that dates create a huge problem. For instance, I might type a brief sentence and say “yesterday, Laura Ingraham show”. Well, several days later, I have no idea WHICH day was “yesterday”. See what I mean?
Miss Gail Combs, I was wondering, nudge, nudge, if you could find some spare time, to provide us with a similar update like you did last time. If you can’t get it in by Sunday, I can always edit the post and add it later. Would be most appreciative. Where is Smiley2? I need you, and Aubergine, and the chemist guys, and info about air travel from FG&C, and Bakocarl’s tidbits, and everyone.
People are afraid when they don’t know what they’re dealing with, and we have reams of information. You guys pull items from Chiefio, foreign sources, etc. We always joked that QTree was an amazing collection of expertise, and we’re proving it now, when it counts. We’re fortunate to have different people with varying skill sets (medical- econ- VALUABLE hints from our grandparents- herbal medicine- Heloise-type-hints on how to keep a clean home/office) to add to the post. And it’s the only way to examine the whole problem.
Unless someone has a better idea (and heaven knows, I’m always open to a better idea), we’re going to divide the post into the following categories. If you think we need another category, let me know. This has become, very much, a group project:
The dashboard from Johns Hopkins which counts “official” cases all over the world.
Trump Administration response (the timeline and links to various agencies)
China Responses
Aggregated responses from other countries (I’m going to tear this one apart)

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Ezietto, titled ‘Stars and Warriors’:
A Q Tree Reading Club discussion of an article by retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Steven L. Kwast, in the Hillsdale College “Imprimis”, entitled:
The Urgent Need for a United States Space Force
Between my intermittent war dances against “pencilneck” meddling (which of course are crazy, because obviously we’re the only life that a pro-life God would ever create – cough, COUGH, cOuGH) and my equally warlike antiwar sermons, people probably wonder WHAT THE HELL Wolf is thinking about SPACE.
Let’s just say that Wolf believes PEACE, FREEDOM, and INDEPENDENCE are not mutually incompatible. At ALL LEVELS.
So with that in mind, I wanted to bring everybody’s attention to a recent article which I found in my copy of “Imprimis” – one of the absolute best and most cutting-edge “Trumpian” publications out there.
Imprimis is one of the few publications I truly respect these days, and not only because I can just imagine the cultural Marxists snarking on a setting of BROIL about every issue. Imprimis is timely, and it’s intelligent, but most of all, it’s TRUMPIAN – meaning a VSG can read it and do a typical happy “Trump sniff” in agreement, and actually learn something from field specialists. I learn great stuff from Imprimis all the time, and I think you all can, too.
Imprimis is SORELY LACKING in “phony intellectualism” – you know – stuff like “let’s get rid of all cattle and bring back the buffalo herds”. That idea was known as the “buffalo commons” – and – well, you can tell just from the NAME where the idea came from.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there has been some “apologizing” and “mollifying” of said idea to make it sound less and less hare-brained over time, but let’s be honest – it’s perfectly exemplary of what I’m talking about. The promotion of this kind of thinking in academia is a big part of keeping humanity down, IMHO.
Now I LOVE buffalo for a LOT of reasons, but there is a special kind of academic tomfoolery which absolutely infects the left, and – JOY OF JOYS – you will find absolutely none of it – NONE OF IT – in Imprimis.
OK – let’s get even MORE sidetracked here.
I walk into Barnes and Noble, and I literally LAUGH – I mean I probably creep out the staff – when I look at the magazine rack. These people writing for FAKE INTELLECTUALISM like The Atlantic do not have a clue how NUTS they appear to somebody thinking logically in a post-Fake-News world.
I have no idea whether these people are going to slit their wrists over the demise of phony climate change – that socialist globalist hoax to create a fake carbon economy that NOBODY could ever figure out – or whether they will simply try to reverse the scam to global COOLING. If it’s the latter, prepare for them to proclaim that we now have to do the exact same nutty “deterraforming” (Who needs to kill the plants? – ASK THAT QUESTION) for a different reason, which I’m SURE they can groom a few new scientists into supporting, as they did for the “warming alibi”.
You starting to see how this works? SCIENTISTS! SHEEP! “BAAAAH! BAAAAH! BAAAAAAAAH!”
OH, I know – I saw it from the INSIDE.
It was all so simple. I tell you, these commies are GOOD at what they do.
ANYWHO….
This latest Imprimis is (or next to latest – I should have a new monthly copy any day) is great.
Please read this sucker, if you want to follow along with me now.
Now – let’s start on the ground floor.
At any Trump rally or on any Trump rally thread here, one of the BIGGEST crowd pleasers is ALWAYS when Trump says…..
SPACE FORCE!
Oh, wow – THE CROWD GOES WILD!
This is emotional. This is appeal to emotion. Yeah, it’s fun – but we can’t go spending billions or trillions of dollars based on emotions. LOGICAL THINKING FOR THE WIN.
However, it’s actually a complicated business. The truth is, even when we appeal to LOGIC – even when we engage in LOGICAL THINKING – we are still, to a great extent, appealing to emotions.
Generally, these are “cool” emotions – not so much “cold anger” or “cold fear”, but more like “cool hope”. Hope that there is no war. Hope that we can defend our way of life. Love of country, and the things we have valued all our lives. When we are LOGICALLY thinking about how to defend our way of life – and even our PLANET as a whole – we are thinking emotionally down at the base. It’s OK – just recognize it. Logic and emotion can coexist sanely. Especially if they’re GOOD EMOTIONS.
Here – practice a little self-psychology. See this image as “cool hope” and not “cold anger”.
Logical thinking. CALM but LOVING and HOPEFUL, logical thinking.
Now, consider the article.
I agree with all of the things that Lt. Gen. Kwast says in his defense of the idea of the Space Force, and the reason I want you to read this, is to see that there is great logic in what he is saying. If you operate from the conservative thinking that we share here, then almost all of what he’s saying is pretty much a no-brainer, other than figuring out HOW TO DO IT as fast as he thinks (and I think) we need to proceed.
In fact, my thinking is that “the other side” – loosely defined – is ALWAYS trying to slow down our work in space – to control it, to keep it penned in – to keep it subordinate to something which pretty much looks like the Chinese military at this point.
But set ALL of that aside.
I want to ADD some reasons to what Lt. Gen. Kwast is giving us.
I think that – from a “globalist” standpoint – meaning the standpoint of many of the OPPONENTS of President Trump – the most RESPONSIBLE nation needs to lead the way in space. And – quite frankly – and particularly under President Trump and Vice President Pence….
THAT IS US.
Yeah, I know it’s fashionable and vain and all “virtuous” and “virtue-signaling” on the LEFT to be self-deprecating under such circumstances. “Blame America First” and all that. But it’s not smart. BE REAL. China and India aren’t ready, they’re too self-centered, too grossly ambitious, and not going to give a good result for everybody. You KNOW it’s true, globalists. Russia? Well, frankly, they’ll do better following Trump than leading on their own. And you know THAT is true, too. Particularly when people get off Russia’s case, because they have no more sketchy plays, or any need to make them.
Likewise, on the right it’s fashionable – if not de rigueur – to state that OF COURSE America is THE BEST and yada yada yada, which – even if true – tends to become habit more than a carefully checked truth every time the argument is either needed or simply seems obvious. And America CAN BE and WILL BE stupid, on occasion, have no doubt, as Obama just proved to us.
Now I’m not one of these people who buys many arguments about Chinese inferiority and failure to invent, or be capable of invention. I just don’t buy it. I read a lot of scientific work by Chinese scientists and engineers in my day, and I never saw evidence of this AT ALL. Likewise, more recently, in studying how China has fooled the West over and over – NO – you’re not going to convince me that it’s just “Those Smart JOOZ(TM)” or “The Rothschilds(TM)” who are the actual brains behind China’s extraordinarily successful scamming of the West. Yeah, there are a bunch of Euro-Globos and Wall Streeters and Chinese and Muslims and “whatever” who are all “frenemies” and figuring out how to both ally with each other and beat the others at the same time, as they FEED on American wealth and good-natured victimhood. But if anything, I’d say that this alliance of SHARKS argues for equal membership in whatever school they’ve formed.
In any case, the Chinese ain’t stupid. In fact, they’re so smart, they MADE MANY OF US BELIEVE an extraordinary amount of superiority BULLSHIT while they LIFTED OUR WALLET.
OK? Let’s just be clear here.
Well, now that we’ve woken up just a bit – but are also operating under a President who authentically despises the waste of war, maybe NOW really is the time for us to LEAD SANELY ON SPACE, and SET AN EXAMPLE for everybody else.
You will note, I hope, that the American military gets less war-like, and more authentically defense-oriented, all the time. This is a good thing. So frankly, I would say that now is the time to let that kind of thinking SET THE TONE for space for the next century. Not the kind of global “dupe thinking” we’ve had at one extreme, nor the kind of “shoot ’em at Roswell” thinking that undoubtedly sends pencil-necked peaceniks into a tizzy.
RESPONSIBILITY.
Somebody has to lead with it. AND – right now – I think the best candidate to do so is US.

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Thomas Bergersen of Two Steps From Hell, titled ‘High C’s’:
Visual descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Header Image: Is a gigantic Tree, sitting on a hill in the middle of a group of buildings and homes. The Tree reaches up into the sky, it’s branches forming an enormous canopy. Underneath the canopy, there is a bright glow shining up from within the Tree. The canopy of the tree stretches out over all the structures below. Second Image: Is a rounded doorway at the top of a stone stairway, built into the base of an enormous Tree. The doors are glass and there is a bright glow coming from beyond the doors. There are plants, vines and vegetation on either side of the stone steps. Third Image: Is an open room with comfy-looking futons, a fluffy throw rug and large throw pillows on a gleaming wooden floor. There are glowing lanterns positioned around on the floor. Fourth Image: Is President Trump walking outdoors, with two secret service agents behind him. He is holding up his left arm out to his side, giving a wave with his hand.
I’m gonna tell you about two of the GREATEST people I know. Both of them would be CUT OFF by that bastard Bloomberg and left to DIE. Both of these men served their country – one at peace, one at war. They spent the BEST YEARS OF THEIR LIVES serving ALL OF US. They did NOT serve us, during their YOUNG, HEALTHY YEARS, as Obama poets, screwing nameless girls and getting high on choom. They did NOT get rich and chase the tail like NANNY BLOOMBERG – though one of them HELPED others – HONEST MEN – get rich, and earned a nice, LIFE-SAVING retirement doing so.
These great men would be left to DIE by that nasty bastard Bloomberg, and it will happen over my dead body. I am going to tell you why this heartless Bloomberg MUST BE STOPPED.
HERE WE GO.
One of these men is now almost 100 years old – a World War II veteran. HE HELPED LIBERATE MY MOTHER and millions of others who were either in camps or destined for them. He was part of the storied American forces to which my mother and her fellow refugees ran, walked, and CRAWLED to avoid more socialism. This wonderful man spent the most formative years of his life following closely behind the front lines in World War II. He now has a hard time remembering which beach he landed on in Normandy, so we figured it out together using his memories and maps on the internet. He told me what it was like to go across the channel, to go up the cliffs, to ride the jeeps. It was like I was there. And when I was in Europe, I saw the EXACT places he slept – yards away from the famous generals we read about in history books. Men whose underlings and underlings of underlings HE reported to. And he has taught me ALL ABOUT the important things – what makes America DIFFERENT and WORTH DEFENDING.
This man is LIVING HISTORY. He is proof that the term “Greatest Generation” is no bullshit.
I have seen his medical care. Some cancer treatments would actually make sense, so that he can live to 100. So that his family – NOW approaching 50 people bearing his name, his face, or both – can have one more summer reunion with him.
He can afford it. His FAMILY would gladly afford it. Why deny it?
This great man was there at the beginning of Social Security. He heard the ORIGINAL PROMISE. But now it would appear that not every presidential candidate cares about PROMISES MADE – PROMISES KEPT. Evidently NANNY BLOOMBERG didn’t make the original promise, so he feels no obligation to even keep AMERICA’S promise.
Yeah, it may be TECHNICALLY TRUE that denying healthcare won’t be “technically” denial of social security’s promise, but that is exactly the kind of guy Bloomberg is. The SPIRIT of the law means NOTHING to him. He is still WELCHING on America’s deal, make no mistake.
My jaw just drops. If you’re wondering why New York went to hell, don’t just look at de Blasio. Look at Bloomberg. Look at “Pre-Blasio”. He started it all. He – the “former” Democrat who CLAIMED – very weirdly – to have become a Republican after 9/11 – is the one who began the true decline of New York City, to what we see today. And I say it is because Bloomberg LACKS CHARACTER. His policies were not LOVING OF THE CITY, but COLD TO ITS PEOPLE. There is a difference.
Next, we talk about another man. He is now stricken with a terrible disease. He is almost completely paralyzed – much like Stephen Hawking was. But this man lived and continues to live a very good life. He is a friend of the veteran.
This man changed your life. Not by war, but by peace. He was on the absolute forefront of applied technology which brought computers into business. When it all went electronic, he was behind it, at the cutting edge. My father worked on a different end of that emergence of computers after World War II, so this is personal on THAT side of my family as well. These men were at the very beginning. They helped make America what it was, and what it is today.
In his young days, when others were having fun, this man was working very hard, and his talents were FOUGHT OVER by the richest and most powerful men in business. He has wonderful stories about these famous men and their companies. Those men and their companies are now part of history – some gone – some still here – all of them historic. They were and are part of your lives.
This great American was very fortunate, and very wise, and put away enough money for a comfortable retirement. He’s not rich, but when the terrible disease struck, he had the money that his family needed to take care of him. He actually lives a very happy life. Spending time with him, I am in some ways envious. He lives in great beauty, comfort and ease, surrounded by Godly and upright people he helped make that way, and while he doesn’t travel as much as he used to, he is happy and funny and a joy to all who know him.
Let me spell this out so even NANNY can read and understand it.
HE INVESTED IN THIS FUTURE.
He is a wonderful person, who enjoys life, and touches the lives of everybody around him. We are ALL pulling for him to stay with us, blessing and enriching our lives.
Would Nanny Bloomberg pull the plug? I guarantee you, if this man did not have the FREE and INDEPENDENT private health insurance that HE WORKED FOR and HE PAID FOR and others want to TAKE AWAY, that cold bastard Nanny COULD and WOULD pull the plug on him. Maybe not directly, but one way or another, this man would LOSE the level of care and protection HE WORKED FOR.
Something is wrong with Nanny Bloomberg. I don’t know what it is, but he is not representative of the America that these great men, or my parents, or YOUR PARENTS fought for.
I have no idea why Nanny Bloomberg is running for office, but it is not to make this country better, let alone great. He almost seems motivated more by hatred of Trump, than by love of America.
At this point, I think it is incumbent upon us to not merely oppose Nanny Bloomberg, but to stop him. He threatens to undo the very soul of this nation. A nation which does not revere its elders – or even WORSE, is not even ALLOWED to revere its elders – is destined for ruin.
It’s time to choose to defend not just the youngest, but the oldest and weakest as well.
They EARNED our respect, and now they need our defense.

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from A Shamaluev Music, titled ‘Beauty’:
…………………………………………………………………..
Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
Y’all
“Y’all” is a contraction of two words, that has been around longer than most people realize.
These days, we think of it as a contraction of the words ‘You’ and ‘All’.
But it dates back to a contraction of Ye and All, from the Old English that our Scots-Irish ancestors brought over with them.
Used in a sentence:
Ye all will perish if we listen to the lay-about fools who tell us that we should all share in the fruits of each others’ labours.
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
Today is Presidents Day.
Presidents Day is celebrated on the 3rd Monday of February, and started out as a holiday for Washington’s Birthday on February 22nd, established in 1885.
Then, some states added a holiday for Lincoln’s Birthday on February 12th.
In 1968, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act was passed and went into effect in 1971, which combined the two birthday holidays.
There is some confusion, however, as to whether or not an apostrophe should be used after “Presidents”…because we see it both ways, and even before the ‘s’.
I don’t know which way is the proper way…but I don’t consider this guy to be in with the Presidents who are celebrated.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Found this…and thought I would post it for our Wolfie:
WARNING: Do not post on this thread unless you are addressing the purpose of the thread. All other responses will be sent to trash. No rah-rah, no Eeyore, no praise, no prayers, no Q (OK – we need a little on this one), no “[whatever] Trust [whatever]”, no whatever. Take it back to the Open Thread.
Highly general background responses linking things to the Roths and Freemasons are not helpful – UNLESS they put some communist Democrat DOJ prosecutor with a NAME in jail. Memberships are useful. Connections are useful. THAT’S what we need.
Also discounting of the effectiveness of this process is an instaban. We don’t need that shit. Go home to mommy. But just for a day.
Are we clear? Good.
PURPOSE: This thread is my best current theory on why DOJ had to let McCabe off.
Thanks to poster [trumpismine] for the documents which tipped me off to part of the basis of the theory.
TL;DR: McCabe is SES. For some reason, we rushed his departure, potentially violating SES protocols in what was undoubtedly a calculated-downside move. This opening was then used by McCabe to threaten DOJ with discovery they did not want, about McCabe’s more serious crimes, which would be required to justify the termination. Rather than tip our hand to the black hats, we let McCabe skate.
Please note that I am not able to read all comments to me, and may miss yours. We are going to move fast now – don’t assume I read your comments unless you actually get a LIKE or a REPLY from me. If neither, I probably didn’t see it. Like I said, we’re moving to warp speed. Drop it again if I need to see it, but it better be good. -W
It’s important to go read that link – it’s short. After you understand that we basically short-changed the SES “you simply cannot get rid of these fuckers” process, you will see this paragraph regarding McCabe attorney Michael “Dead Eyes” Bromwich:
In the words of Michael R. Bromwich, then-counsel for McCabe, the timeline for McCabe’s termination “was nothing short of extraordinary,” given that the process normally takes “many months, if not longer” yet here “was completed in 23 days.” McCabe and others have suggested he was targeted for his participation in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s then-ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. In August of this year, McCabe sued the DOJ and FBI over his firing, accusing the agencies of bowing to political pressure from President Trump and forgoing required internal processes in order to expedite his dismissal.
Note that in a PRIOR paragraph, justifying this firing in defense of the lawsuit filed by McCabe and Bromwich against DOJ and FBI would have required detailing a more significant crime:
Key findings
According to documents provided in this latest release, senior agency officials like McCabe are entitled to 30 days of advance notice prior to being terminated. The only exception appears to be where there is “reasonable cause to believe the employee has committed a crime for which a sentence of imprisonment can be imposed[.]” The stated reasons for terminating McCabe do not involve such a crime, making this exception inapplicable here.
Thus, we see that McCabe had leverage on improper termination. Leverage with a specific nasty payload for the secretive Q team. This means that McCabe likely got a deal not [just] for cooperating, but [also] for dropping his lawsuit.
WHICH HE DID.
Breaking: Fired FBI Andrew McCabe Suddenly Drops Wrongful Termination Case Against DOJ
This comes after it was announced Thursday that Attorney General Bill Barr announced the John Durham probe is now a criminal investigation.
So we’re already seeing the connection to Durham here. I’ve gotta say, if Durham is FAKE and a PLANNED PUNT, they’re doing a hell of a job to fool us. But like I said elsewhere, that would be the exact same ploy they pulled on us in “shallow state”. I mean, we’re talking about an entire FAKE massive initiative. ALL FAKE. Thousands of people FOOLED.
Now – here is where it gets interesting. Bromwich alleges (of course) that the timing on the McCabe firing was POLITICAL. Sundance has even more details here. In my opinion, that’s an EXCELLENT THREAT, but it’s a falsehood that both sides understand, since the POLITICS OF SUCCESS are downstream from DUTY FULFILLED, and as long as duty is fulfilled, accrued political benefits (or liabilities) are utterly justifiable. Any accusation of political motive is like accusing a pregnant woman of simply wanting to get fat.
So DUTY justifies POLITICAL OUTCOME. What duty is that? – you might ask.
The duty of a deniable military schedule. McCabe needed firing for “Q-level” reasons. Bromwich knows this, but because of the left’s positioning on “Q”, he is every bit as unable to speak of it as are Sessions, Rosenstein or Barr. So the “threat” of political motive stands unopposed, by design. Note that Cankles does this all the time – this pinning of others against their secret obligations. It seems like a specialty of the left.
SO – does this let DOJ and FBI off the hook for cutting a deal with McCabe?
Maybe – if this theory is correct. But again – it’s just a theory. I have other theories, and they are not so happy, and much stronger now. After the Obama Deception, I’m all out of waiting for the end of the movie to figure out the plot.
Yes, great actors make a great movie. But so does a smart audience.
Get your popcorn now, during intermission. I can safely predict, you’re gonna need more.
