The comet thing is true, there's a big one heading right for Earth that's almost definitely going to collide if nothing is done. The part about nothing we can do to stop it isn't entirely true though. Myself and some coworkers have been training since November when it was discovered for a mission to fly to the comet, drill deep into it, and deliver a payload to blow it up...thereby diverting the 2 pieces of it to either side of Earth. The former agent probably didn't get to that part of the movie...I mean meeting.

Not us, but I think HCP might wind up having problems if they have to make decisions as to who gets resources if they get so limited. I did read one article that there are more child abuse cases being reported now. That makes me ill. domestics are up too. Sadly, we've got all of the ingredients for domestics & child abuse. Panic about something we can't do a whole lot to prevent (the virus), and families being forced to spend time together. Then, throw in a bunch of people losing their jobs, or having their hours cut back, and that's a recipe for disaster. Oh, and don't forget in spite of all of the businesses shutting down, you can still buy alcohol!

If it's a secret meeting, how did a retired agent find out about it? He retired after he interviewed Secretary of Treasury Alan Rittenhouse at his boat where he was stocking supplies with his young children. The agent found out about Rittenhouse and his connection to "Ellie" #FACT.

Hard question, because that could ramp up abuse more.

Dr. Manny Alvarez was on Fox News being interviewed this morning. He stated that when then is over, those of us who have had to shelter in place will suffer from PTSD.....oh good, government can send everyone more money. Maybe for some people. Those that live alone - they might really be in rough shape, depending on the person. Human contact is important. For my family, we are spending a lot of time together and I make sure to hug them every day (I figure if we are sharing a kitchen and bathroom, we are already sharing whatever cooties we each have.) We have a big enough back yard, we can hang out, etc. Maybe my teens have PTSD from having to spend so much time with their parents?

No, you have it all wrong! Per the same FB friend who is microwaving his currency, the REAL virus is not the one going around now. The REAL virus will be in the vaccine and it will not hurt people physically, but allow them to be mentally controlled by the elites. He got this from a "friend" who allegedly worked for NASA at one time.

Apparently the Lt. Gov of Texas is wiling to get sick enough to be hospitalized and or die to better the economy. www.cnn.com/2020/03/23/politics/coronavirus-texas-social-distancing-guidelines/index.htmlThis is my favorite quote: He added, 'Let's be smart about it and those of us who are 70+, we'll take care of ourselves. But don't sacrifice the country." So, the old people who will get sick will develop their old people hospitals and only be treated by old doctors and nurses? I wonder how many 70+ year olds there are still in the medical field... I suppose, though, that would allow us to cut back on SS. Cool. It's almost like he's suggesting it's ok for the younger generation to take what's righfully theirs and to smother their own parents or grandma/grandpa while they sleep. The deaths would help transfer wealth to those who could use it/spend it and the economy would be saved. Sounds like a great way to be able to afford a house -- too. Sell or keep the family home.

I am sure that the former agent will come back to us soon with an update on this dire situation

Oh, and don't forget in spite of all of the businesses shutting down, you can still buy alcohol! And guns... I have to wonder how many kids and women are going to go missing (killed and buried in shallow graves). No one's gonna notice they are gone for quite some time and then the "oh, they are staying with relatives" will sound pretty plausible too.

The stupidest thing I've heard so far - from a family member: "We're fine here in Florida. All the virus is on the other side of the state. We've only had 3 cases (and they were travelers!) and 1 death. I'm sure they will close down Alligator Alley and then the virus won't 'travel' here. Nothing to worry about! How's all that panic up in Illinois. I hear it's really bad. Hope you are safe. I could mail you supplies if you need it! " This was 2 days ago. (they have way more cases than 3 in their county and more than 1 death). I'm not sure if it's because they are terrified or just drunk all the time. Cause that's drunk talk.
FWIW: I'm an introvert who lives a really boring drama free life. My life hasn't changed all that much over the last week - other than now working from home. I don't have any panic and I'm not bored out of my skull yet and I'm alittle anxious (I really don't want to have to go to wakes/funerals) but otherwise ok.

Or maybe that's how the "mental control" will be accomplished. People are stupid.

Well, in answer to the "stupidest thing I have heard" - Trump is currently giving another presser. I hear more stupid things each day around this time...

I was talking to my brother. He saw on FB that the virus was invented by democrat backed scientists, and it was released in China to test it. Once they saw how lethal it could be, they then allowed people to travel and spread it outside of China. It was done because Trump is unbeatable, and this is their last hope to defeat him. Wow. Your brother is a loser. 🤪🤪🤪🤪

DH was talking to his sister today who bitched to him about how she didn't care about the people in New York, she was sick of seeing Cumo on Fox news all the time (she only watches Fox news). She told DH 'they can all go to hell' because she's sick of hearing about them. DH was disgusted. For someone who tends to be a holier than thou Christian, who is quick to criticize someone who has a child out of wedlock, or gets divorced, or (horror of horrors) moms who work outside the home, she's pretty damn casual about the whole 'love thy neighbor' part of the Bible.'

Anything coming out of my husband's mouth right now. Thank God I'm not in the house today. And yes, this is one of the reasons why I am not working from home. There are multiple reasons but the biggest is that I can't do a huge portion of the jobs I need to do from home in the time they need to be done in.
