MASKED RAIDERS Shocking pictures show coronavirus ‘looters in face masks’ after attacking shops during lockdown

I was wondering how long it would be before looting started. I'm surprised the cops are even doing anything. This is not good.

I found it in a Jim Rickards Tweet whereby he prefaced it with: "Once an economic collapse takes hold, the looting is never far behind. It's here now. The veneer of "civilization" is paper thin. It's starting to tear."

A full one hour (no commercials) with Dr. Fauci on C-Span right now! No idea he is 79 years old!

Hey I wonder what will happen to the 2020 U.S. Census. They’re not going to still send people to knock on doors, are they? Maybe in winter.

Jim Rickards is looking smug in his latest Hedgeye interview. A lot of what he predicted, including a lack of supply of physical gold (and the associated spread with digital gold), has come to pass.

From Bats to Human Lungs, the Evolution of a Coronavirus

Excellent article, that New Yorker piece.

[Mark Leavy]

An interesting research paper that argues that the virus' main attack mechanism is against hemoglobin. The attack is via attachment points on glycated hemoglobin (a high blood sugar condition). This could explain to some extent:

1) Shortness of breath before notable lung damage.
2) Higher risk for men, diabetics and overweight (pre-diabetic).

The paper also posits a mechanism by which hydroxychloriquine would work if the theory is correct.

Same here, but I mean they generally send out door knockers for all the people who don’t bother to answer by mail or online.

My view of the census: It'll be a cold day in Hell before I volunteer information about my household's demographics given the very real possibility of civil unrest. By the way, did I ever mention that my husband is a former marine with PTSD?

[Kriegsspiel]

The census suspended operations until April 15th.

I don't recall you ever having mentioned you were married.

Dude... it was right after the unfortunate boating accident.

A lot of those people are temporary employees hired just for that task. Will they increase the pay due to the hazard? Probably not, so I doubt they will get many takers. Of course there is a lot of unemployment right now but the very generous unemployment compensation payments will probably dissuade people from taking such a temporary position.

Yeah, and his huge combat boots are right outside the front door to prove it. That and all the 223 casings scattered around.

[Kriegsspiel]

Ok, now I don't believe you anymore. A MARINE, leaving his boots outside (spider cave) and not policing up his brass? No, this cannot be.
