    Thays interesting cuz I figured they'd be pumping fear about it for years and the mask thing too. It's been such an easy control mechanism for them to keep everyone shaking in their boots.
    Or maybe they have something else planned.

    Were are probably close to herd immunity now after the time it's been around. It doesnt take long for a virus to spread throughout.

    Might take you guys a while to build up herd immunity as according to the figures, 1.41% of the US population have been recorded as confirmed cases with roughly half of those cases showing as recovered

    Probably most everyone has been exposed tho by now. It doesnt even affect most people and they never know their sick from what it seems. Or it's not as contagious as is said.

    I called the va and they dont have any testing available and the local hospital here has antibody tests for $75.
    They didnt have an answer when i asked how accurate the test was and the admin never called me back with an answer. That would seem to me like they either dont know or it's not very accurate haha.

    FFS work is sucking so hard now anyone with a sniffle staying home for 7 days until the (now delayed because too many people getting tested) test results are back. A team of five managers down to two this week and customer pressure to get back to normal makes us busier than pre-covid. And the factory staff are even worse - everyone wants two weeks off plus all the gov benefits. It’s going to kill us.

    We’re all praying that it’s actually covid when someone is sick so they can stfu and have at least a few months immunity. This new normal will continue to destroy many lives, families and cause mental illness.

    Depends on who is pulling the strings Johnny B. Economic pandemic spreading like the plague & nobody is pointing the finger at the banks this time.
    There is a new scapegoat for the greatest heist of all time & it can't be questioned or penalised-it's perfect. How many people do you know first hand that have died from CV? How many people do you know that are infected with the economic hardship pandemic? Cui Bono.

    Herd immunity? It’s no wonder they need to shutdown the mints. Which part of the US are you located?

    I'm in Boise Idaho, a current hot-spot with >500 cases a day currently with a sub 1M population being the only dense city in the state.

    The point is, everyone being sent home out of fear of spreading to factory floor workers means every cough and sniffle needs a covid test and the system is overwhelmed so 7 days later a negative test just means they could get covid next week and be out for 1 week (negative) or 2 weeks plus (positive test plus return to work symptom free policy). 3 workers so far have tested positive since the pandemic began, so we know it's close to home. About 10 tests have been done for suspected symptoms and at least two were convinced they had all symptoms but were negative but not symptom-free for weeks (regular cold/respiratory infection.. you know the kind everyone just came to work anyway kind of cold)..
    I don't think many people thought about how disruptive this is going to be - not lockdowns but managing cases and forcing isolation of essential workers and managers. It puts immense pressure on those still standing and moral is extremely low. I'm in the food industry so this will start to be a common issue especially if there are endless 'waves'.

    Anyway I've told me employers that I'll be throwing in the towel by early next year to come back to Aus. That's no pretty solution coming home jobless but life has been crushed here and I need some family/friend support.

    Yes it is the perfect black swan as I've said since the beginning. The toilet paper hoarding sheeple are too busy watching porn and waiting on free checks to notice anything.

    I've known one that died of covid at 84 years old, same number as I know that have died of the flu during my life.

    I think this meme someone posted pretty much sums it up.

    Those people will be the last into Silver/Precious metals probably FOMOing into it as well. Believing the government has the ability to keep everything fine, hence do what they say and not even acknowledging the underlying problems which are never addressed in mainstream

    On another note to me Silver seems to corrected earlier in the week and then is continuing on it steady path upwards compared to AUD and USD.

    if seeing silver being volatile is over whelming, time to move onto some thing else.
    Silver goes up, it goes down, it goes up, it goes down, it goes up again, and does that over and over and over and over again lol

    learn not to freakout about its volatility.

    If your cost price is low, I don't see a problem. I played with my spreadsheet last night. At the March lows, my silver stack was 20% below cost if liquidated at spot. Now, it's 50% above spot less than 5 months later. Even if it goes back to my cost price in the next 2 weeks, I won't be surprised nor will I be shocked.

    I've to agree on moving to something else. Had been researching on Hotels and Resort reits past days. The pandemic scare got to end some day and the yield is over 10% if get in at the correct price.
