Anyone planning a cruise soon? We have a friend who was suppose to leave with a group of people on Sunday morning for a week cruise to the Bahama's. And actually it's three cruise lines: Viking, and Carnival and their subsidiary, Carnival Princess, suspend for thirty days, until the end of April, all cruises.

(reporting video too) 2 major cruise lines to suspend operations due to outbreak

What about domestic airlines? Planes operate on recycled air. Flying test tubes where any virus circulates throughout the entire passenger cabin.
Last night President Trump said all travel from Europe is barred entry, save for those in the UK, for 30 days.
Imagine if they shut down all domestic flights in America for 30 days. And it would make sense being passengers traveling across the country to various hubs stand to infect a huge number of people if they are infected.


The NBA season is shut down now. One player, who ended up being infected and is partly the cause for this, got up from a press conference after a game and put his hands all over the microphones on the desk. He presumably didn't know he was infected at the time. After that the suspension happened.

What's next?

Remember when I asked about when are they going to ground domestic flights in America? This could be the seed to that coming up.
TSA confirms coronavirus in 3 California officers

Some stores are having officers enter to stop price gouging. They should start maybe policing on-line sites like Amazon. Purell hand sanitizer anyone? $$$$


There's something more behind this. It's the flu virus, and yet it is being reported as this pandemic like unto the plague of the old centuries. There's something more that we're not seeing yet. Though we may surmise.

For instance, a few months ago I was talking with a woman about trends and the Net and how some people act as if their cell phone is part of their anatomy, in that they can never be without it. (Some time ago the dept. of health in a city I can't recall reported on the greatest risks for germ transmission. In the top five that you'd never imagine was cell phones. What germs, bacteria and even virus? Their study showed it would be those found in restrooms/bathrooms!
People using their phones before washing their hands. Yeahhhhh, that text takes priority over washing your hands after #2. :sick: )

Anyway, this lady observed something that never crossed my mind but is so true. With every thing we are able to access now while never leaving our house, and we can even work from home if we choose, in many cases anyway, it is a growing syndrome of voluntary isolation. We're isolating ourselves from one another.

Now, months later, we hear the first news about China's Corona virus scare. And in short order we're updated as to its growth outside that country. Now, regardless of when it is, something in media reporting, morning shows, etc... the word, Corona, is used. Updating or whatever. For some people just the word repeated can put a scare into them and they can make themselves sick just thinking they have the flu symptoms.

And what's happening, and so easily accomplished now? Voluntary self isolation.

And for those out in the world, no surprise California being the first example? What appears as martial law lite to come?
If America follows China's precautions, imagine this in our streets(A month ago in China)

And just an hour ago overseas, in Italy: Coronavirus: Police enforce separation in 'terrorised' Italy

Imagine this. One world order! Global police state. One world government to follow? How? Maybe it is already ready to go in the form of United Nations, that has a police force, a military, that the news calls "peace keepers". Some peace, when they're armed to the teeth and have tanks.

That voluntary isolation is real, yes yes yes. However, long before the CV, I have had to resist the hermit lifestyle.

How can we serve our family in Christ that way, though.

How do we do it now? Right here? On-line. :) Communities in Christ are all over the web. Churches can stop having parishioners come in the doors, and yet still deliver their sermon on-line. Many churches do that now for shut ins. God is greater than the current experiment in fear paradigm that is ravaging the world under the word; CORONA!
It's the flu!
People die of the flu every year. Thousands have died already in America. It's the flu.
What gets the fear paradigm spreading panic? "Weaponized".
Governments and media working together to scare billions of people over....the flu!
And if you say that in some circles, people look at you like you're crazy. I've done this so I know, and I did it just to see the reaction. "It's the flu. Many in America are already over this latest strain. (Corona). The reaction? "Oh, no! NO! This is different! This is a more virulent strain!"
Hubby was at a little shop yesterday to get something that turned out to be out of stock. A guy was walking past with his cart loaded with water, paper towels, TP, food. All hubby said was, this shopping thing is crazy isn't it?
The man went off all the way till hubby had to turn down the lane to get to the car, about how it is all Trump's fault. Trump,Trump, Trump! He hates Trump!
And all hubby did was mention how there are a lot of shoppers out due to the Corona virus scare. Fear makes people do strange things.

In California the National Guard is on the case already. LINK

My response is in reference to this article, and to everything in general, as many events are being "suspended," such as sports leagues, etc..

Isn't it wonderful that the extremely rich people of the world have such good hearts, that they cancel business opportunities that would earn themselves millions of dollars, all out of public concern? Such a thing has ever happened in all of history! But why has it never happened before? It's because most extremely wealthy people don't have good hearts.

So we must ask ourselves then, why extremely wealthy people with evil hearts are willing to lose millions of dollars, when we all know that they don't really care about the public good. Hmm? Why is that? But the answer is obvious, isn't it? It's because they believe they stand to gain more in the long run by taking these actions, than they do by not taking them, or they wouldn't take them.

Be wise. Be discerning.

Great post! Yes, many of us are just that. Wise and discerning. However, in some cases, when we speak of this, we're accused of being conspiracy theorists. Wearing tin foil hats.
And we do know the worshipers of Mammon do not care about the 99% of people because their monies will never be threatened by us. Why? Well, as Henry Kissinger once said of the elderly, but it actually applies in his circle to all who are not in that circle, we are "useless eaters". And we always reproduce more. In fact, we march to make a law that guarantees we have no choice but to produce more should we find ourselves pregnant.
And as we are the consumers of that which that top 1% own and control, we'll always "need" them. Their services in politics, their businesses, etc...

Why are these NBA leagues and owners OK with shutting down the basketball season early? Even though player contracts guarantee they'll still get paid? The revenue lost due to the early shutdown is tax deductible.
The cruise lines that are suspending cruises for a month aren't losing money. There are no cash refunds on those cruises that are suspended. Passengers get a voucher for a future cruise. That is a tax deduction too.

MONEY!
Money isn't the root of all evil. Loving to have money to pay your bills and do good things isn't evil either. Rather, love of money above all including God is what the Bible tells us is the root of all evil.

This entire scare right now is a parable writing itself. And from all sorts of excerpts from scripture. Including those concerning the tribulation, the end times, etc...
It is a fascinating time to be alive.

Exactly,

I wonder if this is a trial run.... for worst case scenarios down the road.

Yes but what do they hope to gain?
The full and final enslavement of all people everywhere?
