China has cremated so many bodies it was making black rain in Japan. They have dug mass graves in Iran. Italy said no one over 80 will get medical care. That is over 4 million people left to die.

This virus and the public reaction to it has me in high gear . i spent around 50k jan5 -30 . i still dont know if im ready for whats coming. I have food stacked to the rafters . i have hardened my location . took my kids (5 of them) out of school feb 17 been on self isolation lockdown ever since . went out for a final supply run on friday and was absolutely shocked at what i saw in and out of the store. Make alliances now . youre community MUST be strong this will be a test of all who are ready and those who are not will be in dire straights . i do not think americans have fully realized what MAY transpire i hope to GOD im wrong but i think i may be right. GOD SPEED AND SEMPER FI .

As of Sunday 03/15, Wednesday is the earliest I am able to get a Prime delivery. For Fresh, many of the things low or out in stores were available. Now they are running out of the same items. For the popular items on regular Amazon, many are backordered for 2-3 weeks best case and that doesn't matter if its via Prime or not. The window to get those last few things is definitely closing.

Essentially, there are few options they could have used in addressing COVID-19. A person I know that is very familiar with epidemics in third world countries listed them. 1. Let it occur: predicted 81% infection rate ~2.1 million deaths overburdened healthcare system 2. Herd immunity: quarantine at risk (elderly and those with compromised health) ~1 million deaths overburdened healthcare system 3. Decrease/slow the virus spread: social distancing self-quarantine for 3 months (This will slow the spread but not eliminate it) overburdened healthcare system (less of a burden than options 1 and 2) (Note: It will take an estimated 18 to 20 months of social distancing and self quarantine if the goal is to eliminate the threat) The current fatality rate projections for COVID-19 are: 10% (80 and over) 5% (70-79) 2% (60-69) Drops significantly age 59 and lower (30% of those infected will require critical care) Other impacts: (probably the most important...all things considered) Economic (number 3 appears to be the most economically destructive) Psychological (number 3 also appears to be the most psychologically destructive) Currently, option 3 (or variants thereof) seem to be the choice of our leadership. What does this mean for the people? Prolonged state of fear and anxiety Greater (near-total) dependency on the State Negatively impacts nearly all the people (psychologically, economically) The real show begins when the people are left with no alternative but to look to the State to save them.

I work in a large Amazon fulfillment center in SC and your driver may be right about routes canceled but not about why. They are contractors and never see the inside of a fulfillment center. They work out of delivery centers that are stocked from the big warehouses. Our warehouse, 1.2 million sq. ft., is full. We have our normal flow of trucks coming up to the inbound dock. What it is not full of is workers. Amazon removed the penalty for using UPT, unpaid time, for the month of March and the next day staffing was at 65%. Our daily goal is 87% or higher. Those that do come in are working mandatory overtime to get orders out. Be clear. These people for the most part are not sick. They are screwing the pooch for time off. Well it's going to come home to roost when they have no paycheck next Friday and they blew through their welfare and spouses paychecks. Amazon was also one of the first companies to give 14 days paid time off if you are diagnosed with Covid-19. So they are looking out for us. I've worked there for 4 years in a support roll, started on the floor but no longer out there, so I get more of the info from management and Seattle.

You need to ask ups what their delivery instructions are. Their trucks & scanners are equipped with gps & monitor how many seconds they are stopped at each delivery point. Yes, SECONDS. Everything they do is monitored & scrutinized. USPS is now told they are not allowed to go up driveways & not allowed to back up more than 50'. Their scanners are also equipped with gps & monitor not only how long they stop but generate a report for unusual braking, acceleration, etc. you may think you are secluded but if you receive deliveries, your position is already mapped.

Carol Hargis my driveway is a little rough (although the mailman and fedex come to my door) so I built that steel box out on the road because she wouldn’t come up, the box is in a super easy spot but she’s too lazy to get out and open it, she just puts it in a big clear bag and sits it on top. She’s just lazy, when I bought my house she had all the locals meet her at the local gas station/restaurant at certain times to pick up their packages lol. At least now she drives past our driveway I guess.

[@genuineimpulse9134]

maybe we are neighbors because that happens to me as well. We've said several times pull up the driveway, we can't seen the mailbox from the house. They don't care.

Today was day 1 of the Shelter in Place. I've been following SP1 for some years now. I've learned so much. Thank you SP1! As Day 1 began, I woke up feeling calm and relaxed.

[@warriorhealth2172]

Times up in my opinion. Like you said why risk going to stores and increasing your odds of getting sick.

[@beatricebrown8221]

Thanks for this. Since you posted this on 3/15, so many businesses are down and out that a depression is the next logical thought. But, if there is one bright spot, it's that EVERY INDUSTRY is affected. You are not alone. Stay well and thanks again.

[@dudleydidright3254]

Last minute trips out to a store are a hazard at this point. Hope you used some PPE. I made my own last minute shopping trip two weeks ago. Thought I was being careful. Now I have body ache and fever. However careful you think you are being, chances are very good that you are not being nearly careful enough.

[@YamFZR93]

Take vitamin C ... like 2 or 3 times as much as normal for a few days, that may help. They said it prevented the Spanish Flu in 1918 for a lot of people, but didn't really make it into the newspapers then.

[@doyouseewhatisee2010]

Unfortunately I believe you’re right. Many businesses will not be able to come back from this. Those of us who live through the virus will have tough times ahead. We will overcome but it will take several years. I truly hope our politicians now see The terrible downfall of not being able to rely on our own country for supplies. Stay safe bro and thank you for your videos.

[@chriskelly509]

I wont be going shopping for at least 2 weeks. I'll be limiting contact with people.

[@cdawson198600]

Chris Kelly84 same here, I’ve got a cough and sore throat I’ve self quarantined until it goes away. No sense in potentially spreading the virus or even a cold under these circumstances.

@PearlPerlita Venegas if not things will be very interesting.....

[@Phxshadowz]

Amazon warehouses are empty. They have warehouses half city block in size here in phx. A Friend has show video and they aren’t getting resupplied because nothing is coming from China anymore. Went to Sams to get some meds and manager there told me he has no more trucks coming. All the basics were gone. Prepackaged stuff was still a little stock but not much.

[@T_1357_F]

Interesting. It's also probably people running out of money, or only buying staple products, or like you said: all the hard to find items like over the counter meds, cleaning products, etc are gone.

[@SarahB-zj8rz]

Tracy Yes, that’s my situation. I am rerouting my finances away from non-essential things I would otherwise buy off Amazon.

[@tonyameadows9042]

My FedEx guy said something similar. He said they only have 4 trucks delivering and that deliveries were down. I heard a financial "expert" say in a news report (can't remember which one) that we'll go into a recession or depression. I also think we'll go into a depression. I don't see how we wouldn't.

[@Indiansmoke1]

It will. I am done going to stores and Ive ordered extras from Amazon. ovaltine , more powdered milk ect. none china stuff. We are bugged in. Just going out for emergency work calls and vol. Fire and Rescue. Thanks for all the videos over all these years. We were prepped before this hit.

[@redhotthomestead7325]

Guysmiley Good idea. How do you tell if it’s coming from China? I want to support USA products only.

[@Indiansmoke1]

@@redhotthomestead7325 your only going to be able to get stuff from USA . Trump shut down transport. It should tell you something when you are ordering. Just ordered nasal spray and they where USA as well. Dont forget to decon the package when it comes or at least be careful with it. I leave out side spray down with thieves oil mix and open and discard package outside.

[@GPBAMB]

All of my orders have been severely delayed from Amazon. So much so, that I am thinking of ordering direct from suppliers these days.

[@sheri1237]

Thank you for update. we noticed something odd Friday. We had to travel 800 miles to pick up our college senior since college closed down. We make this exact same trip at least 6 times per year since she was a freshman.Without paying attention to it we both noticed the reduced number of big trucks on the roads we travel. Now i think i understand why. we also blew right through columbus ohio during the height of rush hour which is usually an area we hit some traffic. perhaps everybody was at walmart and target because all of the parking lots we passed were packed.

[@NotAnAngryLesbian]

Drive down I95 the whole length of Florida yesterday. Quite light traffic.

[@justinthyme7275]

Completely agree with every word. I finished stockpiling two weeks ago. Spent $7,500. Still want that one last trip. But the economy is going to be way more troubling ahead.

[@centermass3454]

Whats wrong with going to a supermarket ? Why always Walmart ?

[@southernprepper1]

I do go to 2 different supermarkets here but need some other things that they do not sell and wanted to limit being out so Walmart was my pick. Usually I hit the 2 supermarkets for there great sales.

[@centermass3454]

@@southernprepper1 Very good. Too many You Tubers are way to dependent on Walmart. Walmart / China Mart is part of the problem now, our insistence on cheap Chicom goods means nothing is manufactured here anymore. Now, goods are either out of stock or inflated prices anyway. We are really going to pay a price for our dependance on China, wait till the Mecs run out and they won't send anymore, or the other disposable med items we need that are all made there.

[@vadamsable]

I've said it myself, our economy has tanked mainly because we have outsourced everything. We make very little here (except debt). Hence no jobs. A part of that is due to the government overregulation and reach. Pay for a poster on your wall, pay for employee health care, social security is the biggest deduction, pay 3 levels of taxes (city, state, and federal), pay unemployment insurance, pay for liability insurance, pay for an inspection, it goes on and on.

[@edi9892]

I´ve been mocked and verbally thrashed by someone I assumed to be my friend for saying that the economy is likely to do a full 1929 even without Corona, but with Corona it´s unavoidable... This is one of the few moments where I hate to be right! USA, EU (my place) and China are all overdue as they printed money out of nothing and have little supporting their debts... It´s actually a long list of things that we allowed to go wrong. It could very much destroy the Euro, the EU and cause civil war in China. I don´t know how it would look in the USA, but apparently enough fantasize about civil war there too...

To add to this, A friend wanted me to get him a computer monitor on Amazon. He says go order it, there were 4 now it says 3. So I order it then it says 2, next morning he calls and says they are all gone. Now a computer monitor is pretty common, but he had to search for some time to find that one. Point here is much of the stuff we have taken for granted comes from China and China has been shut down. As Monitors etc move through a stopped supply chain until stock runs out. Is Harbor Freight going to close up soon? The stuff that was so common may not be so common. On the bright side many of us have a garage stuffed full of stuff. That stuff may have more value on ebay now.

[@joshbeekman5474]

Same with amazon wipes. Mine was mid shipping

[@JT-2012]

Your thoughts exactly mirror the ones I've been having for months. The Amazon delivery info really surprised me though. It would make sense that orders would pick up, unless folks are using their money to buy food instead. If you look at the global virus, and the Market & precious metals fluxuations, we're heading for very rough times. There's also information that the US will be put on lock down for 2 weeks, beginning on the 20th and speculation that there might be a bank holiday coming. All believable. May the Lord protect you and your family, David.

[@verna1video]

Hi J.T., seems we run in the same circles on YT. Like minds. If they do lock down, my fear is they will find a reason to keep us locked down. 2 weeks from the 20th, would be the 3rd, when those on Social Security get their check/deposit. Will they lift the lock down so seniors can spend? Or will they say it's to dangerous, especially for seniors, and in their best interest keep the lock down in place? It's so hard to tell which way they would go with this. Things seem to change daily. Praying that if they do lock us down, it really is only for 2 weeks. God bless!

[@JT-2012]

@@verna1video Hi. 👋😀 Not everyone gets their SS at the same time. Dates are spread out. Since the gov't can just keep printing $, checks will keep coming. Only way to end the virus is for folks to stay away from each other & let it burn out. As long as the internet stays up I'll be okay. 😄 Blessings.

@lonestar22759 Most people are aware of depositing $10,000 in cash, or more, into their account draws government scrutiny. If a person withdraws $5000 in cash, or more, from their account, the bank is required by law to file a Suspicious Activity Reports, (SAR) with law enforcement. If a person tries to go around the reporting requirements by depositing, or withdrawing, smaller amounts in close proximity, or in a recognizable pattern, then they can be charged with another serious financial crime, called "Structuring". Bank employees are not allowed, by law, to discuss the "Bank Secrecy Act" with non-employees. I've jokingly mentioned the SAR to bank tellers before, & some looked at me like I had 2 heads. Bottom line is the government does not want you to use cash, unless you are giving $2,000,000,000 in cash to Iran.

[@SNOBLE125]

I work for the post office. We used to do 20 skids of Amazon, now we are doing around 14. Amazon is only delivering certain items. If they let people order what they want the deliveries would go up. I wanted to buy a thermometer for a friend. Delivery was stated for the middle of april when it used to be 1 to 2 days. I have Amazon prime.
