You are exactly right. The CDC, FDA <<(corrected it from FDC), big pharma are all kissing cousins. For instance, I've mentioned that I worked for Abbott Labs.... how many companies can you find that has paid dividends to their shareholders every quarter without skipping a beat since 1924. So, if you want a sure bet investment that pays consistent dividends, ABT is one to look at. It's all about profit.Gemsnob wrote: ↑4 years agoI think the point is, who knows if the media is being truthful? You cannot find the names of anyone that has died from it. I mean, who are the statistics? The media is a tool of those in control. They all only tell you what they want you to know. I mean, the CDC didn't add "and prevention" until the early 90's. They were only about controlling disease. They also own Vaccine patents so they profit from them and will never tell you if they don't work or are causing harm. They are a for profit agency not a government agency. You have to take everything with a grain of salt.

Re: Virus
Also FDA. I believe this...it's easier to control people who are scared and looking to their government for answers, help, to fix things. People have been prepping for the apocalypse for years, however it's brought on. I think it will be intentional. This is no accident.OtherSideOfTheTracks wrote: ↑4 years agoYou are exactly right.

I do believe they are trying to scare people, more now than ever before. I wonder who is benefiting from this?jojosmom wrote: ↑4 years agoHi All,
The following outbreaks.
2002 Nile Virus
2004 Sars Virus
2005 Bird Flu
2009 Swine Flu
2014 Ebola Virus
2016 Zika Virus
and NOW we have in
2020 Corona Virus
I do not know about the rest of you but I did not contract the Nile, Sars, Bird, Swine or any of the previous virus's so I am not going to worry about the Corona Virus. Especially, when more people in the US (18,000) died from the regular old FLU this past season than all of the virus's I listed combined.
So just be careful and do what you do to prevent getting the regular old flu. JMO
I AM STILL GOING ON MY CRUISE THAT LEAVES ON SUNDAY!!!!!!!! ANDDDDDD I AM GOING TO HAVE AN AWESOME TIME WITH MY SISTER!!!!

Re: Virus
Yeah don't think I'd be cutting in line to get new vaccine. I started getting flu vaccine several years ago. My elderly mother was going through chemo & my primary thought it best for her sake. Even though mom is gone I still get one, no side affects (so far) & haven't gotten flu (so far).
I'm very conscious of germs & have been for years, don't touch things with bare hands in public places (handles, carts, door knobs, etc). However, I went wrong somewhere because I'm just getting over a cold. Need to be more careful about handling money. So there you go...pesky germs got me.

I don't want to be a stick in the mud, and I truly want you
and your sister to have an awesome time on the cruise. I
don't know where you are leaving from or where you are
going - "take extra stuff, like meds if you are on any. I'd
prepare for being quarantined for a month. just sayin'
Love and prayers, honey

Re: Virus
@honey
Good morning
I BELIEVE THAT:
Anyone leaving on a cruise, risks being confined to their tiny cabin for weeks, as 100’s of passengers were. One passenger said he had to line up to get dinner. If others took more then they should, him and his wife got no dinner.
All the experts admit that they dont know EXACTLY how the virus spreads.
Until they know more, we have to be smart, and take precautions to protect ourselves.
I’m not talking about gearing up like a astronaut. I just wipe down items coming into my home. I dont touch outdoor surfaces if I dont have to. If I have to, I wash my hands with soap and water, after I touched the surface. If water is not readily available nearby, I use a disinfectant wipe.
All these precautions take a minute of my time. Until they know more, at least I know I was proactive in protecting myself and my family.
Of course, I will not tell others what they should or shouldn’t do.
In my case, I spent half my life taking care of patients in the ER, with varying degrees of illness. From my observations, bacteria and viruses dont all act or are spread the same way,
Therefore, BETTER SAFE THEN SORRY

Re: Virus
I do remember each of those outbreaks. What I DON'T remember is there being so many closures, screenings and quarantines as a result of an illness before, not only here in the US, but worldwide. Is it just my memory?jojosmom wrote: ↑4 years agoHi All,

Definitely not an expert but I'm thinking with each virus the "germ" gets stronger and takes people down faster and harder.RoxiJade wrote: ↑4 years agoI do remember each of those outbreaks.
