re. agendas of a series of wars for peace, being inconveniently interrupted..

Ever since long London conversations with the father of a sweetie, himself born within "the sound of Bow Bells" and re. the performance of the Brits under the stress of WW-II.. I have long thought that the USA would be among the last places to want to be - were we to suffer anything resembling major discomfort.

While I am in the boonies, no matter. Our entire food and other- supply depends upon massive coordination, and as has been pointed out years ago (maybe at IWE too) -- our miserly funding for Public Health has steadily eviscerated much chance of a massive, coordinated and effective control of any epidemic; most people can't even spell pandemic. Or recall the Flu of 1918, and how close that came to ...

Face masks? I suspect that hoarding will ensue.. as with the Cyprio: you can never have Too Many when it's My Children\ufffd / Screw Yours. (I have not much of an idea of their effectiveness, or of the 'grades' available - but I'd think that folks in cities might want to find out.)


Luck to all; it's all we have budgeted for.
