The Coronavirus thread

Thought I would share something that just happened to me maybe as an encouragement and metaphor of hope for us all. As God as my witness I am not lying to you nor trying to put myself forward as any mystic -- just bearing witness to what happened. I was out in the yard hooking up a trailer to my pickup truck, and I turned as if out of nowhere a white rabbit "appeared" and lingered in my yard for about 10-15 minutes despite my best efforts to catch it thinking perhaps it was a neighbor's pet (I live in the country relatively speaking). For some reason, I had been picking up on people using the term "white rabbit" lately although I am not typically an adherent to extra-Biblical mysticism or legend. In 40 years here, I have never seen a white rabbit in the wild.

However, I looked it up, and:

https://www.amandalinettemeder.com/blog/white-rabbit-spirit-animal-medicine-symbolism

Rabbits tend to have shorter lifespans than humans. However, they move quickly and can teach us a lot about the use of our intuitive senses.

Rabbits, in general, symbolize the release of fear, a willingness to trust your intuition. When you encounter one as an adult, they generally suggest teachings about survival mode.

When you see a white rabbit, they can symbolize purification fears regarding survival, and their appearance can encourage a more playful and curious view of the world.

The symbolism is one akin to the messages shown to us by Alice and her Wonderland.

In the movie, the most recent from 2010, Alice follows the rabbit right as she is about to make a life move that will ultimately affect her survival and happiness on earth.
As she is unsure, a white rabbit appears to provide her an alternative path. She follows the rabbit and eventually releases her fears and prospers in life.

The appearance of a white rabbit if often meant to alert us that we are now entering into a journey unknown.

This journey will carry us through the path of our own fears, onto a quest of knowledge, step us into the mystery, but we will step out the other side.

It is usually a sign that someone is embarking a spiritual pursuit and can appear more than once in a person's lifetime to herald this."

I know most of you guys think I'm crazy when I've been making comparisons to the Israelites being quarantined in their homes on the night before the Exodus and Deliverance from the plagues and slavery of Egypt which symbolizes the world system, but I believe it is no accident that 4/11 Information Day is coming with 4/12 Resurrection Day on its heels. Nobody knows how all of this will work out, but let's not forget that God is in control even when the ship lists or the stormy gale is upon us. The Red Sea was parted when things looked the bleakest. Returning to the animal kingdom, we also know that "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me" to reference the hymn and the Beatitudes.

Yesterday the UK study was walked back. I posted several studies a week ago saying the projections were whack. Now this from these Stanford professors saying the projections are whack.

It's almost like....they got the Global Warming Scientists to use their models to estimate the impact of COVID19 huh?

God, I hate the unhinged comments from Trump. Compare his comments to these reasoned, thoughtful statements from a typical (D)im:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This is the kind of **** usually reserved for snake handlers<br><br> <a href="https://t.co/VC7I8vTTjI">pic.twitter.com/VC7I8vTTjI</a></p>— Ryan James Girdusky (@RyanGirdusky) <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanGirdusky/status/1243551268464930819?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 27, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Wow, we need more of that calm, unemotional logic.

Trump is always talking over the media directly to the people. That’s why they want to shut him down so badly. They can’t have people making up their own minds. That’s their job.

Look at all those tweets about not covering Trump live. Only showing clips that they can spin later. That’s them saying they must listen on your behalf and only pass along the info they want you to have because they think you are too dumb to make up your own mind so they’ll do it for you.

Trump talks f0r an hour or so. They have all night to criticize and respond, but that’s not enough. They can’t allow you to hear both sides. They decide what you get to hear. It’s pretty scary that so many people go along with this fascist behavior.

They're pathetic,but they have always been that way. This is the first president who doesn't care about their feelings or playing the bend over and take it game Republicans always have to do with the press. Trump just flips them off and smacks them on the peepee when they act up. The whole lot of them are just furious at him and on the get Trump bandwagon 24/7.

And Hollywood is just over the deep end of hate. They all used to love him. Until he ran for president as a Republican..haha

Read that FL and TX (folks not the state) filing suites against big red. The TX one is for 20T
 
Cases in Florida are up to 3,200. I finally found a bottle of 91% rubbing alcohol at Walgreens. They keep it at the counter now,since there's no point in stocking.

Publix grocery store was packed out at 6pm.

So we draw no lines? Long time poster, may say whatever he or she wants. "Hope your family dies,,,Just joking!"

FNG says the same, must be banned?

I know you wanna forgive because Spike is Spike, but I side on the spirit of the rule. There are lines we shouldn't cross, even if joking, on a forum. Wishing death on others or others' families is one of them. I would think everyone could agree to that.

Sanctimonious or not.

It was a joke.

sad that you are unable to extend your thoughts to a place like that.

Congrats, you are the police. In stead of removing the graffiti that caused offence, you got offended. Great for you, and SN is a lesser place.

The Chinese government pretty much keeps tabs on everyone by cell phone,The Chinese are more connected to the damn thing than we are,so even if some of those are work numbers you would still have 5-7 million numbers that went poof. I picked this info up from some cellular company chatter that spoke of that strange appearance.

China is not being truthful and I bet we know. It's probably classified. We have really two ways to look at it. Either our government and press are totally overreacting or this did a **** ton more damage than we could even fathom. They tried to keep it under wraps,but it blew up. Commies.are great for misinformation. What's a few million to them in their collective whole of 1.4 billion


There's my speculation for the day. We could have never stopped this from getting here. It does show how vulnerable we are to a biological weapon. Should.they want to take us oit with some ****** up mutated virus much nastier than this.

We've had plenty of scary flu deals circulated over the last 10-15 years and we didnt blink,but for.some.reason, this one demands the response we're seeing now. It has to.down turn shortly. This thing will be back in the fall,so hopefully enough people build up some type of immunity to it and we can keep those who are most likely to have severe consequences away from everyone.
