On a financial note, when would be a good time to withdrawal most of ones savings from the bank (e.g. put under the mattress"), totally serious.

If the economic stress eventually takes a toll on banks and they decide to halt/suspend certain transactions, well you get the picture

Is it even possible to really be prepared for this or any other pandemic/disaster?
Just heard on the radio this morning from a Michigan State Doctor that for Michigan alone to have enough mask, gowns etc supplies in storage for
times like this it would require a warehouse the size of Grand Rapids. (Pop approx 200K)

Of course it is. You start by developing a plan in advance. The USA has been rehearsing for wars (including nuclear) for decades. They call them military exercises or war games.
 
I put my 401k in a stable plan some time ago. Yesterday, I put a chunk back into my preferred market stock. Everyone has to figure the future out based on their gut IMO.
 
So, this is what it's like if you want some cookies from Costco today.

Not touching my 401, but just talking liquid, cash. Hard to say at this point how the heck this will turn out, but man the thought of "that" scenario - that's all she wrote and would be utter chaos. I honestly don't want to think of that scenario playing out. But.....

I'm no expert on finances to say the least. But, I don't see a need of hording cash. Banks are insured by the government. I'm more interested in where I am after this mess passes. We will get through this. And the old saying of buy low and sell high still applies.
 
I actually bought more than just cookies of course. And it reaches a point where your committed to the goal. I don’t think I’ll need to take part in the senior early morning cart race event again. :blush:

Of course you're right. I'm old enough to remember the nuclear drills in school where we would hide under our desk.
Ahh the good old days.
 
US now the epicenter of the pandemic with most cases, incl. China. This is particularly remarkable, as testing has been rather sketchy. The real numbers are likely to be significantly higher.

Easter Sunday church unlikely, according to Bill Gates.

Some more information about the scientific paper above:

Well, here is another piece of information that adds to my concerns about the origin of this virus; this is section of the paper referenced above:

"These studies were initiated prior to the U.S. Government Deliberative Process Research Funding Pause on Selected Gain of Function Research Involving Influenza, MERS, and SARS Viruses."

What does Gain of Function Research on Influenza, MERS and SARS Viruses mean? It means making these virues more contagious, more pathogenic with a higher lethality index.

This is code for Bioweapons engineering, gang. Just as "Enhanced Interrogation" is code.

Your tin foil conspiracy theories have been totally debunked by real scientists that have studied the virus. https://abcnews.go.com/US/conspirac...y?id=69827832&cid=clicksource_81_null_bsq_hed

That's why audio forums shouldn't give platforms to people like you looking to spread conspiracy theories about a pandemic that is affecting all of us.
 
You see only one person in this picture wearing a mask. There were people throughout the line wearing a mask as they deemed necessary. There was for the most part at least a cart distance between people or couples. People in this state for the most part understand what is happening. This wasn't the Mardi Gras.
 
That is the most comprehensive, science-based article/interview about the Covid-19 that I have seen.
The speaker is the head of South Corea’s response to the virus. The questioner did an excellent job of asking the right questions.
This South Korean doctor, out-Fauci our Dr. Fauci. I highly recommend the whole thing. Lots of solid, scientific, and factual information here.
It is 30 mins long, but folks should make time to watch it.
