When it really happens: SHTF...

The only thing logical I am afraid Ovidio is the ilogical decisions made by some Govts ours said its costing $4 Billion each week we a locked down and they are letting us out now up to 20 people groups but in public you must have 4 square meters to yourself bit hard as we witnessed as said in Dunsborough the last Sunday.
All of us at the site reckon our state is well poised but again at least 3 weeks too early due to the fact flu season is nearly upon us as is winter but we are only holding the pig and like others must obey what the tumpets call dictates.
I am fortunate to be able to enjoy a freedom some of you so desperately seek and yes we have been spared allot of what you poor buggers have suffered and still suffering in your countries and I feel for you I wish it was all over and we could resume our passions but my erstwhile friends the change is forever.

Infact this may send allot of what we called normal into an era we may never see the likes of again lost to time as once again the world has lost its innocence I as usual will say that this is a orcastrated outbreak by whom who knows but onew things for sure it is designed to break countries economies the harvesting of life was probably an afterthought.
And what punitive measures are they going to inflict on the country that may have released it surely clutching at straws they are.

Keep safe remain sane and talk to those that love you as sure as eggs bottle necking it is heading the wrong way..........

My friend rang me today saying we have another run this Sunday so I may dust off the 1100XX Super Blackbird.....

He called those that want to return to work "cowards" today and threatened anyone that wanted to conduct business against the "law" would lose their licenses, health certificates and any benefits they might otherwise have.

At the same time PA Health Director was admitting virus patients to nursing homes. She was publicly assuring all that the proper safety cautions were being taken.
At the same time she pulls her 95 year old Mother out of a nursing home.......... Away from the known Danger.
If my Aunt had died from a situation like this, in a nursing home instead of in the hospital ICU.
I would have lost it...

After seeing this A$$hole Gov and his pet Pig acting as a health director, It doesn't take a genius to see that PA is getting ready to blow.

Our Gov is seen more on the tv talk shows than on our local news. Currently sharpening her auditioning skills for her shot at being Bidens VP pick.
Today 5-13-20 Michigan Gov Whitmer was 'Remotely' on the tv show The View. She said due to: "Protesters 'make it likelier' Michigan will continue stay home".


To All:
Get your loved ones out of these nursing homes while you can.
Get them in to a hospital.

I watched a programme last night made by Martin Bashir on UK Channel 5 which is worth watching. He was in South Korea where he made the film and watched the virus develop, their policy has always been to TEST TEST TEST and isolate the virus. It seems to have worked as they have only had 187 deaths, and reckon they would have had none had a religious sect that met in their thousands in January had been more responsible and not spread the virus in that country.
Martin Bashir is an honest journalist and respected here in the UK so I would accept what he reported as true as it is backed up by the experts in Korea on film.

The UK are finally doing testing on a larger scale than before, where they changed their minds from trying to achieve a HERD culture which was in itself a hell of a gamble.
So in short our numbers are now thankfully coming down, as a direct result of Testing.
So if you have bothered to read this in whatever country you are in, try and push your State Governor into a testing programme it seems to be working elsewhere!

Here is a link to the BBC facts on the matter if you want to watch his documentary which is recommended it will be on Catch up:

BBC World Service - Newsday, Covid-19: is South Korea beating back the virus?

Now we here in this state that tested the least in Australia 1.3% in W.A that they are not going to use the $200 Million worth of kits brought by Twiggy Forrest as our state govt said they have enough what a effing shamozzle typical govt.

Also today 5 months down the track the fire ravaged towns that saw millions $'s donated are not seeing much of it nor any input from the Govt they have been left to dry some have already gone the deep six with being unable to cope but the govt may pick up as there is an election in one of the fire ravaged regions there.
All the millions donated and where has it gone I hate and really detest some of these acts we see happening to our great people that suffered badly you cannot eat rocks nor chew on dirt and live without the country folk growing what we eat and wear your a done duck, and dont bang on about industry making it possible.
They the farmers of the day were tilling soils with horses & oxen and harvesting and threshing the grains by hand long before the industrial revolution.

One of my shooting mates, a Colonel in the Army, today sent me a message that is worrying me a bit...
I send him an article of a very smart Italian historian and intellectual, who writes that the situation is at the limit, that people are upset, scared and angry, and that there are signs that things might go south quickly if the government keeps being so grossly incompetent.
His words are: If you see them raising our pay, start worrying.
I must call him this evening and ask him if he was joking or not...

If the experts are correct a major Flu epidemic is not far behind!!
Stay Safe and keep distancing as part of normal life.

[browningautorifle]

If the experts are correct a major Flu epidemic is not far behind!!

Because we've been isolated and our personal defenses are low now.

Jim,
I think thats probably right. But unless Marilyn Monroe comes along I don't intend cuddling ANYBODY as close as I used to anymore. I used to shake hands and I always thought I was a roughy toughy, but when I see the amount of guys go into toilets and not wash their hands afterwards, that can go to in future
Perhaps not the best time to answer emails and PM's after 5 good bottles of English Cider in a lovely sunny garden at 8.8%

The governor's threats have had an impact. Most of the counties that threatened to revolt have backed down. My county, Lancaster has not although the sole Democrat commissioner has abandoned the decision, not surprising. The Governor has vowed to move the State Police around as needed to enforce his shutdown. It's a pointless exercise because anyone the police charge is going to be immediately excused by the DA. All it accomplishes is a showdown between the police that don't want to enforce this and the people who respect the police the most. These two groups are nearly always on the same side. Law abiding, hard working people and the police. This isn't a battle between leftist liberals and the pinko cops. So I don't think the State Police are going to be doing much other than talking with people and giving them warnings. What makes my county different from most of the others is we are big. We get Federal funding straight from the Federal government. The Governor has no say in the matter nor any control over it. The other counties don't have the population we do. We are not huge like Philly but we just meet the Federal guidelines for this type of treatment. I've stopped watching the daily briefings. I simply do not care anymore. They screwed the pooch on this one and theirs no going back. Supposed to be a big rally in the capital tomorrow. I considered going for the first time ever but I am going to work instead while I still can. He won't be there to listen anyway. Probably be hiding in his basement. The President visited today and offered his support to the rebellious counties. That had to gall the governor. What I would have liked him to say is that Pennsylvania will no longer get any Federal aid as long as this tyrant continues to act without the authority of the legislature. Pretty sure these events now have his attention at least.

All this pushing and shoving and people don't realize people are working in increasing numbers every day. Traffic is almost back to normal. The only things that are still closed are the malls and dine in restaurants and the small businesses. The big ones, and the chain stores and restaurants never really stopped at all, coming up with some way to be "essential" One store actually started stocking and selling bottled water just so they could remain open. Where there is a will, there is a way. It's just the little guy getting screwed over and they won't be able to survive.
