How are you handling the Coronavirus Pandemic?

[Invisibilis]

Again I am reminded how fear-based this world is.

I am a poor person who cannot afford to stockpile food, medicine, etc. So, I have to buy food every few days as money comes in. However, there is not much food to buy, and what is left to buy has skyrocketed in price _ which I can't afford to buy.

The crazy thing is, in a few months time, half the food that people have stockpiled will run out of its use-by-date. Then the rubbish dumps, all around the world, will be overloaded with waste. A massive increase of rotten perishables, escalating potential disease of other types.

Because we (as humans) cannot see passed our nose, we really don't know what we are doing to what is beyond the nose. It really stinks.

Is HE shopping for your groceries and paper products and other needs ??

With me He did. And when He does it, it all works out perfectly. Each day was dedicated to a different eventual need. It started 3 weeks ago. He is so faithful. Psalm 91 is a good reminder for times such as this, and what is coming after this. Blessings in Christ Jesus!

This whole thing feels like a test case for socialism in this country. Breed fear and take control. I'm not gonna worry, just keep on doing what I usually do. I don't watch TV anyway.

socialism would be great - equal distribution of toilet paper

Luke 22:35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36 He said to them, “But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag. And let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy one.​

Typically, GOD gives us the necessities required to meet HIS plans. Other times, people lack:

Luke 15:11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. 13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.

We don't need no stinking toilet paper.
Dumbest thing to hoard. And we sure don't want no stinking socialism.

That's why you store non perishable food. Lots of food does not go bad. Store flour, sugar ect in sealable containers.

Except that the top dogs would grab everything (using the military), then sell it dearly to the rest of the population, just like the Russian mafiya (who were all socialists and are now high level thugs, with Putin at the top) who have stolen their country's wealth.

... And if you lived in a major city you'd be moving:

Rev. 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,

“Come out of her, my people,
lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;​

But FIRST it would help to know where we are with respect to the 42 month tribulation, and then use the next year to year and a half while you can.

People can't see the world for what it is. In the 1950's we saw movies with irradiated giant killer ants. Today we see "zombies". So who are the "zombies", -- the people storming the grocery stores. And who are the "humans" that shoot the "zombies", -- the government.

So if you disobey Lke 22:35-36, you'll be a "zombie". But if you obey Lke 22:35-36, you'll potentially be a "survivor", -- but you'll need to get away from major cities, and hopefully be up-wind from any "high value targets" including military; command & control (including State Capitals), and major cities (with manufacturing).


But again, I might help to know where we are with respect to the 42 month tribulation, and then use the next year to year and a half while you can.

For me I was lucky to go grocery shopping yesterday before things changed today, as the virus has taken a surge in new cases early this Thursday afternoon and people are swamping grocery stores and supermarkets, stripping shelves bare and long, long lines.

I have decided to Isolate as recommended by local health officials and to cease going to the gym for now and have cancelled get togethers with friends and with fellow believers.
We can text, email and phone each other.

I hope all of you are staying safe. I am praying for everyone's safety here.

God bless you all.

We should not fear when we put our trust in Him, but yet we are not to test God when the government gives orders to deter the spread of this evil.

Psalm 91:1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

Romans 13:1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

I have... In emergencies, used alternatives. besides if you still have running water what's the big deal, use a wet rag.

What do you think people did in the old days? If you have water and cloth, you don't need paper products. They are just a convenience, besides there isn't any real toilet paper shortage, it's just that people are hoarding too much.

I am concerned that social distancing may just prolong the virus' active duration. If we started with a few isolated cases, can't it easily pop up again until it runs its course?

If at risk persons such as those 60 and older and those who interact with them plus their families practiced social distancing they would be like a separate set in society. Then everyone else continues as usual I wonder if it would be a better response. It would run its course in the people who are likely to survive, then they would no longer be carriers.

YOU ARE NOT A PHYSICIAN, and should not be espousing views which may be medically incorrect, -- as initial analysis seems to suggest.

There's enough BAD information without adding to it.
