I bet this will be one of my best investments this year
Have some boxes of potatoes to germinate right now. Climate change makes it possible for me to plant them one month earlier than before. If there will be frost one can protect the young potato plants with foil.
I do this every year. I got a small garden with some veggies and this are the small potatoes left from last year. This strain is called 'Linda'. Very tasty.

Trump had to have access to people like Chris Martenson, who would have told him, this is a 100 year disease event, you have to quarantine all incoming airplane & cruise ship passengers, etc.
Back on January 27, although I get the impression the scientists got that impression the week of January 24 but waited a little before making the call.
Anyway, Trump could have looked like an absolute hero AND suffered minimal damage to the GNP/GDP, just by quarantining 5000 to 10,000 people.
So what stopped the scientists at the CDC etc. from communicating with Trump about the Timing of the situation ?
There is something about the government structure that takes people with real high IQ's, and yet the organization acts like a Special Needs child.
Part of that is Trump. But this is not the only time the US gov has behaved amazingly stupidly.

CFR gets higher and higher. I guess this is the CFR when health system collapse. And I don't trust the Chinese numbers.

My sons are hearing from back channels, of people with family members near the white House, that there will be a major announcement from The White House on Friday, concerning a 2-4 week mandatory nation wide quarantine starting shortly. I wouldn't doubt it. Im glad Im ready
Yup, I would say that is pretty much a staycation of isolation. I got a backhoe scoop of chicken manure tilled into the garden today, and it's ready for seed.
Americans won't be able to sit tight and watch the BS on tee vee. Who will be enforcing such a quarantine anyways?
Interesting times indeed.
I just put in another raised bed out back. Its 6' x 8' x 12". Its partially filled with peat moss and compost. I planted between 30 -40 red, Yukon, and spud, sprouted potatoes. I will be gradually filling the bed as the potato plants grow. I have another potato garden out in my orchard, that wasn't harvested last year. They all came back

HELICOPTER MONEY?...
Washington ...Top negotiators were unable to clinch a final agreement on a sweeping legislative package to address the economic fallout of the escalating coronavirus crisis Thursday night, pushing talks into Friday as they sought to close out a handful of outstanding issues.
After hours of talks and trading of proposals, including eight separate phone calls over the course of the day between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, President Donald Trump's point person on the talks, negotiators are still attempting to iron out differences on specific language over a package that is expected to include paid leave, expanded food assistance, extended unemployment insurance and free coverage for coronavirus testing.
"It's fair to say we're close to an agreement, subject to the exchange of paper, and hope to have an agreement tomorrow," Pelosi told reporters outside of her office Thursday evening. "We've resolved most of our differences and those we haven't, we'll continue the conversation because there will be other bills."

https://youtu.be/bc6YhNEpARI
press did nothing but down play it his whole term

Trumpers have no place in here.
Most telling is Russia's lack of input to WHO

Yeah, it's not Epideme from Red Dwarf.
And for all the victory gardeners I don't know about you but my yield last summer here in the east was zero due to weather .Out of 50 tomato plants maybe a dozen came off.
It seems only reliable methods are going to be greenhouse for certain crops.
Corn and potatoes well that's a crap shoot too here pests are so bad its a never ending battle.
I am killing 6-12 Stink bugs a day everyday.
Hope weather is better this summer .

You'd be *very surprised how much food you can grow in a small space. Mine is 30x20 and We give away loads and preserve/can the rest. But you need a few seasons under your belt. If I never did it before, I'd be planting a shit load of potatoes as soon as May15th rolls around. So go to the store and buy three 10 lb bags of potatoes and put them in a warm dark place to get them to start sprouting.
A basket of berries will give you jam for a year or more. 12'x4' is potatoes, carrots or onions for a year. 1 apple tree will supply more pie material than you can eat in 3 years.
But it's all moot if you don't know how to grow and how to preserve. It's a learned skill. People think that if an apocalypse happens, they'll just grow their own food. Well it ain't gonna happen. They'll starve. And so will their families because the kids won't help weed or hoe.
Give someone a pack of carrot seeds and watch them get a dozen baby carrots for their efforts. Onion or garlic seeds and watch them get ZERO. And this stuff isn't even the hard stuff you need to be growing. And unless you can get water out of your well, if you have one, you're fucked the first month.
Being prepared isn't about joining a survivalist community or buying loads of prepper supplies. It's about learning the skills you need, when you'll need them. Like growing weed, the only way to start learning is to start doing.
But start with something easy to build confidence. Throw a couple pieces of potato (with en eye) in your flower bed. Put a tomato slice in a pot with soil (and ya, you'll have to water it without drowning it). When your tomato seedlings start sprouting, pull them out gently and transplant them, then put them in your flower bed. But you have to start your tomatoes now or you'll only get a few.

be honest about what is negotiable.
There was more than enough information coming out of China a month ago that I knew enough to stock up on non perishable foods and such. Shithead just stood with medical experts and flat out bullshitted the American people. He went so far as to call himself and expert and joked about he could do there job because he is that cool. Fuck him. He is a moron at best. His followers are hilarious. He missed his chance to act intelligently. Get over it.
Sucks that Obama sucked, years ago.
Get over it. Time only moves one direction. And your shit pres just dropped the ball.
I do not blame the virus on him. I blame him for ignoring it when all the intelligent people told him for months not too. I believe that makes him responsible for it making it into the American public.

Last year was my first year without a big garden in several years. I had kept expanding and then helping a farmer in exchange for some garden space. And helping a bee keeper and getting some hives of my own. For a few years we had so much fresh produce and honey.
The sad end result was that I spread myself to thin. Began to ignore (more like become complacent) my indoor garden (income) and had a pm outbreak when I could not afford it (as if anyone can). Had to re assess my time and get the things that pay well back in working order.
Already planning a garden this year. And probably start volunteering with the beekeeper again. Just keeping it all small and reasonable.
