... Look at the numbers. Deaths divided by the global population is 0.000444%. That's the chance that any random person personally knows someone who died from the 'flu. This is not going to stay the case. The entire world is going to get infected. This will only take a number of months from this point. And even then, we are not the average person. Anyone who gets on board with a new technology early has a minimum baseline psychology that sets us apart from most other people. We are on average smarter and better able to detect and avoid danger. And if we have family, then we warn and inform those we care about. So, no. Nobody here is likely to know anyone who has died from the flu at this point. And probably not until we are near the end.

My thesis is that we all (most of us anyway) have COV already. And if we don't have it, we will definitely get it. Maybe not the latest mutated strain, but what ever. This is how pandemics work imo.
Looks like we mostly agree. Call me crazy, but tell me why we can't get rid of the regular flu for like decades.
I hope this isn't the case, but it could be. I haven't had the flu in about 20 years, and I never get flu shots. So I wouldn't be surprised if I never get this during the rest of my life. I think the point is we didn't know this was a thing before January. Now that we know, we can better prepare for it. Right now its spreading like wildfire, and we need to contain the spread as it is already overwhelming healthcare infrastructures worldwide. Once it is a bit more under the lid, then we can start to go back to our usual routines, keeping in mind that this thing is now out there. But for now, it is unwise to risk putting more pressure on doctors and hospitals. I don't mind sacrificing my personal freedoms for the time being if it helps speed up the return to normalcy.

BTC must really be set for lift-off, any minute day now. The whole Cuntonian army & associates assembled yesterday - Sunday please, to see how to handle the CT problem on btctlk. They decided to sacrifice Ibian. Before that, it was mindrust & before that r0achie. Ah well, they're all expendable anyway.Random thought of the day:

What if I told you, that talking endlessly about people you claim to ignore is a sign of severe cognitive dissonance?

Want to be clear here: We knew this was coming. We had dress rehearsals with SARS, MERS, and H5N1. We knew what needed to be done. We just decided not to listen, and not to prepare. This is the logical outcome. Sorry, but I believe strongly that Reality exists and facing one's errors is critical to ensuring they don't happen again. The problem isn't that "we didn't know" the problem is people willingly choose to ignore facts.

Observing $6,375 & eating lots of junk food at home, self isolating. Just had my gardener do 3 hours of work, he’s probably not supposed to be working but fuck if I’m expected to garden, no thanks. Hoping to see resistance finally broken at $6,800 this week & then maybe we can get some momentum heading towards the halving. I really hope this whole pandemic doesn’t stunt what was/is supposed to be a big transfer of wealth & expected parabolic rise in the next 18 months. I’m being selfish & all that but we have plans don’t we guys, they need to be carried out. I don’t want to see any weak hands here, we’ve already lost a few good men to cowardice selling since COVID19 showed its ugly face.

If more people had listened and understood how serious this was in the beginning we wouldn't be in this fucking mess

gardening is actually pretty relaxing, and good for your health too. you're basically paying people to have fun and exercise.
