Just found out. We lost a very good friend overnight to a bloodclot. Her husband is in rehab with a broken hip. He fell last weekend.

Before anyone asks, yes. They took the shots.

I will miss her very much. verysad

It'll be ok. I'm just grateful to have y'all to vent to. I promise I won't do it too often. I'm just gonna keep plugging away.

I'm sorry if it sounds like everything is horrible for me. It's really not. Some days just suck and then I'll have a few really good ones. I'm more fortunate than most in this world. We have a roof over our heads, plenty of food thanks to the forum, the bills are paid and we have good friends.

My problem is me! I need to know what the next step is, even if it's not today. It's frustrating when things don't happen on MY timeline. The curse of being a "fixer" I guess. I really wanted to be moved and settled before they say I have to start dialysis.

This week was a tough one. I had several days when I thought I'd have to go to the ER, but it got better after a few hours and a nap.

Thanks to everyone for putting up with me!

You vent as much as you want or need. We're all here for each other.

And I agree with your philosophy. Raffette and I are *extremely* fortunate to be in the position we're in. More fortunate than most Americans. So we remind ourselves of that regularly.

I do understand the frustration of not knowing what to do in the face of a crisis. There's a quote from Theodore Roosevelt I like to use in some of the trainings I give that deal with emergency response:

"The best thing you can do during a crisis is the right thing. The second-best thing you can do is the wrong thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing."

Make the best decision you can based on the information and resources you have available to you at the time.

Hope that helps.

DHS Master Question List for COVID-19 (caused by SARS-CoV-2)
Quarterly Report


[link to www.dhs.gov (secure)]

Notables:

- SARS-CoV-2-contaminated wastewater may cause infections, particularly in areas of poor waste management infrastructure, and via landfill leachate, in which the virus may be transmitted to humans from pollution.

- Increased resistance to ethanol were demonstrated by Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Omicron variants; however, all strains were inactivated by 35% ethanol after 15 seconds.

- Most evidence suggests that people infected with COVID-19 are no longer infectious 10 or more days after symptom onset. The incubation period for the Omicron variant has been estimated at approximately 3 days, shorter than previous variants.

- Natural immunity obtained prior to the emergence of Omicron provides only 46% protection against Omicron (BA.1 and BA.2 variants); immunity generated by 3 vaccinations confers 52%, and a hybrid protection of natural and vaccine induced immunity provided 77% immunity. Individuals that received 2 doses of vaccine showed 76.8% protection from severe COVID-19 for up to 6 months, but no protection against Omicron infections

- In a study of 61 U.S. K-12 school districts across 9 states, those with universal masking policies reported 3.6 times fewer secondary infections than those districts with optional masking policies.

- Between May and September 2020, a large analysis across 56 countries found that mask-wearing reduced the mean transmission rate (R) by 19%.

- The Omicron variant was stable on plastic for approximately 141 hours and 13 hours on skin if not disinfected.

Re: Coffee Crowd for Civilized Discourse on World Events
i take it that was the old variant, we are up to what Centrol now?yeah i know i spelled it wrong.

so by that it could live 4-5 days on plastic. should have infected half the nation and sent 25% to hospitals... or 25% of those infected so 12% total. thankfully we didn't see that. even spread out over 6 mths , that would have been devastating.

plz correct me if this is wrong. but not even the metro cities saw those #'s. OMI came after most took masks back off. that 19% reduction was for prior covid and ppl mis-using the masks.

the OMI wave did move fast. it got to the rural areas much faster than any before. if memory is right on which is which, and i'm not confusing it with DELTA. it was the 1 that hit here right as we started to come out of the fall wave. we had a wave almost on top of a wave. late DEC-JAN, end of last year's holiday season.

our official case # totals are just over 25% of our population thus far.

GUYTHU, i am glad for the #'s and report. but thankfully reality doesn't mirror them well. we can only hope that continues.

U.S. deploys ships and planes near Taiwan as Pelosi eyes visit

TOKYO -- The U.S. military is moving assets, including aircraft carriers and large planes, closer to Taiwan ahead of an anticipated but unconfirmed visit to the island by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The military was initially opposed to the speaker's visit but now looks to be creating a buffer zone for Pelosi's plane, in the case that she decides to go ahead with the controversial stop.

Re: Coffee Crowd for Civilized Discourse on World Events
i'll bring this here. does anyone have connections to get us more of the reports from the exercise? would tell us what the eiltes think the know and what is coming.

THEORY TO THE MP DRILL

i told WHITE i would post my theory as to why the MP drill took place when it did. let's do that before we try to analyze what the govern's goals or strategy with the MP is.

let me ask a question- how many ppl have a fire drill while the building is on fire? isn't that like trying to learn math while balancing your check book? little late ain't it?

most look at the MP exercise/drill as a CT. then a release of the MP from another lab. let's take those blinders off.

what do we know? CHINA knew something with COVID in early 2020. whatever it is must b evil. CHINA did not ask for help from the world nations. and to this day even as the nations push vaccines, CHINA holds to a zero policy to the point of wrecking their entire economy. the Great Lockdown of WUHAN that spiralled out to many cities and millions of ppl, broke the GLP effect and is the most historic happening of our lives. possibly since the Great Flood.

since then did our govern's figure out what CHINA knew? there are some drips of pieces, such as the post bout the bats from BRAZIL. whatever CHINA knows is very very bad.

my thinking is the govern's< governments> of the world have started to figure out a few things that we here know already and have for over a year. the vax ain't helping. it is delaying the inevitable and covering up symptoms for ppl. it is also weakening immune systems and causing other virus outbreaks. they may know more than that. they are not going to tell us.

hence to understand what will happen in the future, they ran the MP drill. just out of luck, the virus they chose to run the drill with was the same that took off worldwide. just dumb luck. kinda like someone buys life insurance and dies the following week.

purpose of the MP exercise was to figure out how the ppl will react, how fast it can spread, and how a society collapse could play out. they already knew much of what a virus would do and how unprepared our medical services are. all the normal reasons for running such a drill, were known since we were dealing with covid. no reason to run the drill. but what did they want to figure out?

we only have a glimpse of the folders of info that they have now. based on what we know, they didn't even run the exercise out very long. the reports don't state how they stopped the spread, nor how they got it contained, nor how they kept the medical from collapsing. there is way more info that would b in a normal drill of this magnitude. there aren't even ideas to implement. unless there is more to the report than i have seen, there is lots missing. a normal drill finds flaws and areas that can b corrected. the team works to improve plans we have non of that this time. all we do have is a chart of exponential spread and dates with lots of time and info missing between them.


what do they now know? why cover it all up? note-this is just 1 of several viruses circulating the globe currently. their actions will tell us much going forward. so far we see 1 very bad point. they are not trying to slow the spread of the MP at all. even less so than they did with covid. that means they do not think any of these viruses can b contained. whatever else they found with the drill is upon us already.

the drill was not to release the MP from a lab. it was to figure out what is going to happen due to covid and the vax. to society, the economy, and to ppl. unfortunately for them, their wasn't much time from the exercise to when the viruses started to spread. the think tanks didn't have much time to read and begin to analyze the data. they can't come up with plans as fast as the virus is spreading. even with the info from the drill, they are wayy behind.

The government has been behind us for over 30 months now. For all the noise some people make about GLP being monitored by federal agents, you would think that the would have recognized this site's ability to crowdsource OSINT gathering and analysis. But I guess not.

One thing I disagree with is the vaccine being harmful. (I mean on a large scale, not the singular stories we hear and can't even confirm if they were vax-related or not.) The vaccine may be less effective than advertised, but based on my and Raffette's personal experiences with it, we have never felt better in our lives and when we did finally catch Covid, both of our cases were extremely mild. I've had common colds with worse symptoms.

Not only that, but since I took the first shot, my annual fall allergies have disappeared completely. I used to be deathly allergic to ragweed pollen, although a combination of Flonase and Claritin made it manageable. Last year I took no allergy medication at all and I experienced no ragweed symptoms whatsoever. So far this year, it's the same thing. Normally I would be in the early stages by now, and if left untreated, I would end up in the ER because of difficulty breathing by Labor Day.

Here's the thing, though: I can't prove beyond reasonable doubt that it was the vaccine that is responsible for this. Maybe my body chemistry just changed due to my getting older and the timing was coincidental. Maybe climate change has caused ragweed to alter its pollination. I have no idea.

What I do know is that I have deliberately worked at strengthening my immune system over the past 30 years or so, using the premise that the more minor stuff I expose my body to, the stronger my immune system gets. Other than my bout with Covid last month, I can't remember the last time I was sick.

At any rate, based on my observations of people I know that have been vaccinated and boosted, the vaccine is at the very least less dangerous than Covid is. Long-term? Who knows? But for now, I feel great.

As for the coincidence of the drill timing, I've been suspicious of government drills ever since the 9/11 attacks occurred at the exact same moment NORAD was running a simulation involving multiple hijacked airliners. Indianapolis is constantly used by FEMA Region V as the location of a terrorist nuke detonation drill. Used to be I didn't think anything of it. But now? It's eerie.

Also, I still believe China has information about this virus that they have not released nor will they. Ever. They have always known something, which we knew from the very beginning, because you don't lock down 15 million people due to 300 deaths from a virus. But they did. And they continue to do so. They know something we don't, and I doubt we're ever going to find out.

And why are our threat boards starting to light up like a Christmas tree? It's easier to list the places on the planet that *aren't* flash points right now than the places that are.

All I know is that we are stuck with this fucked up alternate timeline ad we can never go back. So we will continue to prepare for the worst for the foreseeable future. I suggest everyone else do the same.

Has anyone been in touch with her? I have her phone number, but Verizon and my old phone aren't playing nice lately. We didn't even have 911 over the weekend. Any phone call I get gets dropped right away and my texts are hit and miss.

If anyone else can, could you please check up on her?

If you think she wouldn't mind, you can PM me her number and I'll check on her. Totally understand if you're not comfortable with that, of course.

If it were me, I wouldn't mind, but she's very private. I'm sorry Riff. I'll try to txt her in a bit. Maybe it'll go through this time. I just don't know how she'd feel about me sharing her info. I think a couple of the others might have it. Maybe CC is lurking and will try.

Not sure what all these declarations will accomplish in terms of mitigating the spread. Seems just more of "let's get federal dollars" grab.
