**Virus Denier**, you do know that is what some people are going to say. If we listened to all the doom and gloomers I would certainly not be here now. I guess I am a survivor, have been since about 4 years old when I rode a tricycle down a kiddie slide and cut my chin ope that I needed stitches. So lets look at all the doom and gloom that some if not a heck of a lot of people have survived.

* AIDS/HIV
* MERS
* Swine Flu
* Bird Flu
* Hurricanes
* Tornadoes
* Floods
* Volcanoes
* Sever Cold Minus 40 (same in both c and f)
* Sever Heat 125 F / 51.6 C
* SARS
* Bill Clinton
* Barack Obama
* Two Bushes
* Big Earthquakes (7.9 Mw earthquake was the largest recorded in the United States in 37 years)
* Cancer
* And now Covid-19

That is just me, I know there are people that have survived as much if not more than me. But you will still be labeled as a **Virus Denier** by the people that can not see or think for themselves. Shit happens, people die, people get sick and people die from being sick.

Now I need to go find the video in my region. Just one of the reasons I hope that block chain tech takes off this:

The lessons i take from this
 1. Let the people you truly care about know that.
2. Be a good human, even if those around you are not
3. Digging, planting, creating a garden is a lot of work... but calming.
4. having more time to spend with my children is amazing.
5. money isnt everything
6. Listening to the constant noise and speculation about corona virus helps nothing.
7. fermenting is not really that hard and i should have learned earlier
8. Thinking that you have control over your reality is a delusion, but we do have control over our integrity

Lol... I’m sure there are more... those just rattled off.
This whole thing sucks... and it is beyond me... but within it... i can seek and find new opportunities and ways to thrive.. and now that the initial shock has settled...i feel ready in some ways...in other ways i think i just poo’d my pants a bit.

***I'm hoping the bounce back when people realise they were conned will be monumental!***

***So I'm doing my best to mock the clueless numpties so they become embarrassed at how stupid their selfies look :)***

Fore sure it's not the "natural mystic" , cause that you can only hear when you screw your head back on ;-)

Pollyanna.  

Also, maybe when you consider how to prepare for global pandemic, economic collapse, and probably war, your primary consideration is TP, that utter failure to grasp useful supplies of items actually scarce and vital to survival during such events, form and strengthen relationships with neighbors and within communities, or create secure venues where you and your loved ones can prosper in safety isn't evidence there's no point in planning ahead.

It's evidence some folks can't plan ahead, won't consider what's important, and that evolution happens.

I've seen pickups with pallets of TP in the back.  When I see things like that I am tempted to think it's about time for a pandemic.  Then I recall the steps my community has taken, opening up communications between neighbors formerly poorly acquainted, arranging to check on the ill and elderly, and discussing response to changes coming to police responses, or potential criminal acts, and I am encouraged that people will rise above the boojums and snarks of rudderless ranters to defeat the real problems and predators life throws at us.

Enjoy your TP!
