Not prepared to die though?





Not by my stupidity.

I'm in the situation where my spirit guide has been preparing me for months with the hypothetical of a global disaster, approached from various angles, to help shake the world awake towards unification.

At the first news of the China epidemic, he literally told me to drop everything I was doing and my plans for the year and commit to preparing for this, and commit to alerting those around me who want to listen, in the knowledge that most would not be moved.

Under those conditions, with such specific forewarning by a consciousness that repeatedly demonstrated knowledge of the future throughout my life, I'd be stupid not to listen to it and err on the side of caution, and prepare and warn as was asked of me.

If I'm prepared and I die, I commit to dying.

But I won't walk into the snow without clothes, or leave my bicycle unlocked, or forsake other reasonable precautions in the light of reasonable threats.

COVID-19 is a reasonable threat.

And guess the fuck what? It hit my town the first, my town the hardest and my province the hardest of my country, all according to what was foretold.

Fuck no I wont watch Italy go from 1 -> 10 -> 100 -> 1000 -> 10.000 in a mere few weeks and act like nothing is amiss. Its ragingly infectious, its likely to produce serious illness and I;m in several risk populations for developing the more serious form of the illness.

If I die - I DIE, but I won't die a fool having been so thoroughly forewarned and neglected to act.

My situation is different from most of you. You're getting it from the media and they yada yada yada :blah:  to no end and the only way to find the truth is to go the personal journey of doing hours of your own research which most dont feel like or have the time for.

I'm getting mine from my uplink to Divinity, that I have complete Faith in, and who gave me hundreds of omens that came true throughout life.

"Take supplies and precautions, tell others - it will start raining."
I took them and now it rains. Its not my job to get everybody on board with that.
The world is doing its thing and I'm putting my money where my mouth is in terms of faith: faith converterd into suplies to weather the storm and lose weight doing it.
Not on board? Good journey, I'm setting sail.

What's going to make people better comply with quarantine regulations and motivates them to stock up?

Then the world needs more of that.


The people who say "its just a flu" are typically the same people who take their flu all over society for heart patients like me, immunocompromised, elderly and other risk populations to enjoy.

Stop being intellectually dishonest.

COVID-19 has only just begun and its worldwide death rate according to the WHO is 3.4%

Thats horrendous. Spanish flu had 2.5%

Christ no, I think it's fucking sick to see so many minds permeated with, and giving in to to the impulses of that emotion. I find it repulsive to see how so many are spreading the shit/fear like wildfire. I can't - for the life of me - understand how anyone could think it is a good thing, or that the world needs more of it.

Sure, humans are inherently fearful creatures. We're inherently stupid, selfish, judgmental, aggressive, hateful, violent, etc, etc too.

But [most of us] try to not give in to/act on those things, so why are we now giving in to fear?

Is not fear generating narcissism, on a global scale, right now?

That's what I see in the supermarkets.

And in this thread.

My package being held at customs.  Not sure what they do with all them to make sure they’re all good.  There are probably thousands lol.


Just checked my messages.  They just released it from Hong Kong.  Sat there for about a week.

I dont think anybody on the Shroomery is panicking. I dont see any widespread panic out in the street or in the shops.

Sure, there are always people that are more outward in their emotions. People freak out over football matches too.


Recognizing there will be a significant impact on society and preparing for that is no more than reasonable imo. I have kids and a partner that look to me for safety. But if I was by myself I would stock up on goods as well, and a bunch of drugs too.

Im mostly just preparing to be houselocked for a few weeks and spending a little extra on stuff that I would be using anyway. Even if its all for nothing I have saved myself some grocery shopping for the next months

Risk-reward balance is way over to the prepping side on this one (at least where I live)

Total deaths are over 4000 now. I'm sure the fear mongers are happy to hit that milestone.

More than 64k have recovered. There are 761 cases in the USA with 27 deaths thus far.

Here's that Johns Hopkins link again, it remains one of the best sources for real Covid 19 stats - https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6

Jokeshopbeard, you are caught up in the biggest most efficient fear generator of the world, the American mainstream media have been pulling all psychological tricks in the book to get you mortaklly afraid for everything, all of the time, so you stay tuned to the station.

Problem is, Now there really IS a big problem emerging and everybody;s like "here's the boy that cried wolf again with yet more propaganda fluff."

Shut off the TV, turn on the Internet and do your own research, not visiting news sites but leading experts in the field like the CDC and the WHO, actual doctors and researchers.

They will be near unanymous in that we must stomp out the burning match at our feet before it becomes a forest fire.

No reason to panic, but incentive to action.

Notice that in this thread, you have people to the left and to the right who are preparing for a stay-at-home period. Its not a partisan thing. Its not a Shroomery clique thing euither because the ones digging in often disagree on all sorts of topics.

If people who usually disagree, align, start paying attention.

Watch less news and search more Internet.

Jesus man, you couldn't have me any more wrong. I haven't switched on a TV in years, or read a news article in just as long. I have no fear aside of bringing a life into this world.

I'm simply sharing my thoughts on what I see here, and in people around me in what they say, and how they act.

I disagree with most behavior that I see surrounding this situation.

You aren't being intellectually honest.

The fear is real, and it is largely unreasonable.

That death rate is well established to be intellectually dishonest especially just telling laypeople out of context the CDC says.

That's among tested people and the people being tested have it worst because they went to seek treatment. Its probably well under 1%

I think perhaps the meaning of the word panic is getting stretched a bit

To me panic means people freaking the fuck out and screaming and whatnot.

People are worried, thats what I see
