ok now we are at 375 points down.
AND i just read a story that reported
that up to 70% of the world may get
this corona virus. Fantastic, thank you
Jesus, may i have another life here on
planet Hell ?
we'll see how far the stock market slides into
the toilet today. Already 200 points down.
just wonderful, "oh that magic feeling"
nowhere to go.
### - just happened all by itself huh... no reason, no effort, just random chance...

from the id ;)

style! haha, but go on...
### - aha, a glimmer of extra lucidity! you began to question it!
### - volition brings more volition; whenever i press my thumbs in a dream everything (including yours truly) lights up like the 4th of july...

### - we're too rational in the waking state to be able to move easily
into an altered state of awareness and back again without drugs, a veneer that crumbles rather quickly once that movement begins, a couple of back & forth movements at that point bringing 100% lucidity (and thus volition)
into the equation...
I would love to produce that feeling again, it was really
extraordinary.
### - you can, simply by switching back & forth between waking and WILDing
a few times at the beginning wherein 100% lucidity (and more importantly: full volition) then automatically ensues...
### - smile, it's not hard to guess considering your thread title heh, but then you spent years studying with that dude directly connected to lucid dreaming et-al, so such flashbacks can't really be such a surprise? the emotional (wtf??) shock of seeing him obviously bounced you straight back
out though haha (didn't wanna see him! lol) but still increased your
lucidity via that bounce...
had a ton of lucidity last night (for some reason)
long series of dreams. was with some kind of group
of people receiving some instructions on moving/
movements sort of thing.
they instructed me to do
this movement where i stood up at or near a wall or
table and put my hands on the counter like in a claw
type of hold.
Something like playing a piano with
the fingers out except pushing down very hard. As
I was doing this i thought to myself 'well this isn't
much of a move or exercise'.
They said to press down
harder with my fingers on this stuff that was like a
molded material with a design that was nothing special.
so i did it and low and behold it moved me to a place
where i suddenly felt like i was high or intoxicated
but was very sober and not drunk.
as i did this i went
into a dream in my head and saw a flash picture of this
guy very quickly. But i came right back out feeling so
damn good it was hard to believe. Why should i feel so
good all of the sudden?
Well folks this is dreaming,
where just about anything is possible. I don't think i have
ever had a feeling like that without maybe taking a drug
or smoke or drink of something. All very natural it seemed.
did the movement produce that in me? Well let's bring it
back to waking world and see what it does then. And of course
it doesn't do shit. Only works while one is dreaming (i suppose).
I would love to produce that feeling again, it was really
extraordinary.
So who was the guy i 'flashed' on in my mind
during the dream?? Ha ha, you wouldn't believe me. :)
- just happened all by itself huh... no reason, no effort, just random
chance...
they come when they come, we take advantage of the lucidity and
follow the dream to where it goes.
- so was only semi-lucid then, else you would have turned around and
walked away to go-do your own thing ignoring all those projected bozos
from the id ;)
no pendajo, i was lucid, i already had a bunch of dreams, this was
just part of a series. I was wide awake i just wanted to see what
they had up their sleeve. This is how you go deeper in the dream by
NOT being a god damn control freak to make everything 'happen'.
- should have maybe taught 'them' a few lessons instead? el toro
style! haha, but go on...
the fine art of letting things happen, just like in life you cannot
control every fucking situation like a damn freak.
- aha, a glimmer of extra lucidity! you began to question it!
it didn't seem like any big deal UNTIL i pressed harder.
i was examining the surface of what i was pressing on
and it didn't seem to be anything extraordinary, but it
was in the pressing (using more intensity) that something happen.
Perhaps that is a clue for me in my waking life that i should
use some intensity more often to get stuff done. Maybe put more
of myself in to what i am doing. Looky there i've done therapy
with myself without having a guru help me. Free psycho-therapy.
- volition brings more volition; whenever i press my thumbs in a dream
everything (including yours truly) lights up like the 4th of july...
Perhaps it does. Subtle things lead to more intense things.
- ya hit the right combination was all; going in and coming back out
again has that precise effect of fine-tuning the whole thing! of
bringing
everything into sharp (read: more immediate) focus!
oh fuck that, it was the feeling i noticed in the dream that really
got me. I don't usually feel much in my body while dreaming.
I'm just doing this and that and enjoying the trip.
- drugs are only second-rate by comparison, thus they only give us a
distorted glimpse of something more natural than one would even care to
imagine + they don't call it 'getting-high' for nothing heh :)
The only reason why i am reporting this dream is because of the feeling.
I have never registered a feeling like this in any lucid or regular
dream. This was gold, absolute gold to feel this way.
- we're too rational in the waking state to be able to move easilyi don't think one can make this feeling happen, it comes from some
into an altered state of awareness and back again without drugs, a
veneer
that crumbles rather quickly once that movement begins, a couple of
back &
forth movements at that point bringing 100% lucidity (and thus volition)
into the equation...
place else. I'm chasing my tail enough in dreaming already, this would
be just one more thing to do., like pulling on my nose.
I would love to produce that feeling again, it was really
extraordinary.
- you can, simply by switching back & forth between waking and WILDing
a few times at the beginning wherein 100% lucidity (and more
importantly:
full volition) then automatically ensues...
Ah you don't know that. Some things are out of our control.
And it is a good thing that they are.
- smile, it's not hard to guess considering your thread title heh, but
then you spent years studying with that dude directly connected to lucid

out though haha (didn't wanna see him! lol) but still increased your
lucidity via that bounce...
no it didn't increase anything but a sense of well being.
This is the holy grail that everyone wants in life. You want
to feel good, but you don't want to pay for it. lol!
the question is why did i suddenly feel so damn good?
you know you are already feelin' pretty damn good just
to be lucid in a dream. You know that feeling already.
It happens every freakin' time one is lucid.
This little
experience is vastly different. This is why i reported it.
so did it carry over to the waking world? no. but jesus
if it did i would be one happy camper. Happy for no reason.
Natural state of just being happy. I wouldn't have to walk
18 miles to get the walker's high. lol!
ok now we are at 375 points down.
AND i just read a story that reported
that up to 70% of the world may get

always gets down to this doesn't it?

### - the dow suffered it's biggest ever drop today of 1,900?? (wooo...)
markets everywhere tumbling as this thing spreads and threatens to bring everything to a grinding halt...
schools in the uk, for example, being advised to maybe shut up shop for anything up to 2-months as part of the shutdown if/when it turns into a genuine pandemic...
italy now having 400 confirmed cases involving 12 deaths raising the
stakes some to it being potentially slightly worse now than spanish flu,
with a 3% fatality rate (up from 2.3% previously elsewhere more on a par
with spanish flu) not really helping the situation, a few businesses here already ordering their staff to start working from home where possible,
one london firm immediately sending all 300 staff to work from home after
one of them reported flu-like symptoms when returning from a holiday in
italy for example...
on a perhaps brighter note: they reckon 80% of peeps will likely
experience mild cold symptoms from this shit, with only 20% going on to develop any more serious lung infections, 7% getting severe/critical
symptoms and 3% dying...
chances then are if you're fairly fit you'll prolly be alright...
so it's all aboard the big dipper ride again folks!
she goes up she goes down, she goes round & round - wheee!

let's get this shit over with heh :)
I'm at the 90 day food and medicine level.
I still have one more 40 gallon bin to fill next Tuesday.
The panic is always worse than the crisis.
I bought two different types of masks and surgical gloves
weeks ago before they refused to sell them to non-healthcare workers.
Qwik point B.
This is Covid-19 right.
How do we know we haven't already had Covid-16, Covid-17, Covid-18.
You know what I'm saying.
In the states you could have Covid-19 and they don't even have the test.
I have 600 people in my state of Massachusetts in voluntary quarantine
who returned from China.
There is a good chance 1% I am currently recovering from Covid-19
right now after battling a February virus unlike any before.
Spitting up soup spoons of brown dead virus from my lower lungs
for about a week in mid Febuary preceded by a dry cough and sudden
descent into "air hunger" where you move air in and out but don't
absorb much.
I plan on avoiding the virus.
If I get it, I plan on surviving.
For many people it's just another flu like experience.
The panic is what to watch out for.
Some inspiration:

am not personally gonna hide from it, living in london it's impossible not
to encounter others, and even if i don't see 'em (i often do my shopping
at 4am in the morning for example lol) they still been around all day coughing on everything and touching things haha, so fuck it; if this is
how i have to go out then so be it... that said, might wash my hands a bit more whenever i leave the house heh but that's about it, otherwise it (and they) can kiss my proverbial hairy ass! ;)
(stay in good humour matey; be strong by laffing in the face of
adversity... and if the worst comes to the worst, then with your last
breath give it the finger and tell it to fuck off haha...)
what else can a poor boy do! ;)

In the aftermath of World War One, a flu pandemic swept the world,
killing at least 50 million people. What lessons can it teach us about Covid-19?

O
One hundred years ago, a world recovering from a global war that had
killed some 20 million people suddenly had to contend with something
even more deadly: a flu outbreak.
The pandemic, which became known as Spanish flu, is thought to have
begun in cramped and crowded army training camps on the Western Front.
The unsanitary conditions – especially in the trenches along the French border – helped it incubate and then spread. The war ended in November 1918, but as the soldiers returned home, bringing the virus with them,
an even greater loss of life was just around the corner; between 50
million and 100 million people are thought to have died.
The world has suffered many pandemics in the years since – at least
three serious flu outbreaks among them – but no pandemic has been as deadly, nor as far-reaching.
As the world reacts to a headline-grabbing – yet far, far less deadly – outbreak of Covid-19, caused by a new coronavirus, BBC Future looks back
to our 2018 special marking the 100th anniversary of Spanish Flu to see
what we learned from one of the most devastating diseases in recent
history.
Pneumonia is often the killer
Many of the people dying from Covid-19 are succumbing to a form of
pneumonia, which takes hold as the immune system is weakened from
fighting the virus.
This is something that it shares with Spanish flu – though it must be
said that the death rate from Covid-19 is many times lower than that of Spanish flu. Older people and those with compromised immune systems –
who make up the majority of those who have been killed by the disease so
far – are more susceptible to infections that cause pneumonia.

Few places escaped
Air travel was in its infancy when Spanish flu struck. But there are few places on Earth that escaped its horrific effects. Its passage across
the world was slower, carried by railway and passenger steamer rather by airliners. Some places held out for months, or even years, before the
flu arrived and wreaked its terrible toll.

less lethal than Spanish Flu (Credit: Getty Images)
But some places did manage to keep the flu at bay, often by using basic techniques that are still being used 100 years later. In Alaska, one community on Bristol Bay escaped the flu almost unscathed. They closed schools, banned public gatherings, and shut off access to the village
from the main road. It was a low-tech version of the travel restrictions
that have been used in some areas today, such as China’s Hubei province
and northern Italy, in an effort to stop the coronavirus spreading.
Read more: The places that escaped the Spanish Flu
Different viruses target different populations
Doctors have described the Spanish flu as the “greatest medical
holocaust in history”. It was not just the fact it killed so many, it
was that so many of its victims were young and healthy. Normally, a
healthy immune system can deal reasonably well with flu, but this
version struck so quickly that it overwhelmed the immune system, causing
a massive over-reaction known as a cytokine storm, flooding the lungs
with fluid which became the perfect reservoir for secondary infections.
Older people, interestingly, were not as susceptible, perhaps because
they had survived a very similar strain of flu which had started to
spread through human populations in the 1830s.
The flu spurred the development of public health systems across the developed world, as scientists and governments realised pandemics would spread more quickly
With the new coronavirus, the elderly and people with pre-existing
illnesses are considered to be most at risk. Although still low, deaths
have been highest in those aged above 80 years old.
Read more: Why was Spanish Flu so deadly?
Public health is the best defence
The Spanish flu broke out in a world which had just come out of a global
war, with vital public resources diverted to military efforts. The idea
of a public health system was its infancy – in many places, only the
middle class or the rich could afford to visit a doctor. The flu killed
many in slums and other poor urban areas, among populations with poor nutrition and sanitation, and often those with underlying health
conditions.
The flu spurred the development of public health systems across the
developed world, as scientists and governments realised pandemics would spread more quickly than they had in the past.
Masks were in high demand during the Spanish Flu outbreak as well
(Credit: Getty Images)
Treating people on a case-by-case basis would not be enough – to deal
with pandemics in urban settings, governments would have to mobilise resources as if they were at war, quarantining those showing signs of
the disease, keeping minor cases separate to those suffering more
serious illness, and limiting people’s movements so the disease would
burn itself out.
The public health measures we see being enacted today across the world
as efforts to contain the spread of coronavirus are one of the Spanish flu’s most enduring effects.

### - totally agree: they have to! - and is actually quite interesting
from that very-objective pov; of how society is managed (has to be managed) under such circumstances... a difficult + very fine line to walk with little leeway either side allowing for error... something the brits have been practicing getting good at for nigh on 1000 years so they know a thing or 3 about 'working' it to very certain/calculated ends + much then too about how to stop it all from going off the rails...
Reassuring facts: C19 has been circulating in the US for 8-10 weeks. Probably a million people have had it and thought it was the flu.
For the 70 year olds and above it is ten times worse than flu.
One in ten thousand 0.01 die from flu and for 70+ it's one in a thousand as 0.1.
So it is a significant threat for elderly. The Queens response seems logical
and reassures the elderly, "this thing can be fought."
### - accepted... 'gloves' obviously then being quite a good idea (for everyone i meant) if they make her majesty wear them; such advice to her coming only from the very top etc...
Remember this though: If China had stopped their Lunar New Year festival
in Wuhan, the minute the doctors discovered C19 on December 05 we would not
be talking about this as epidemic. It really is all about sane precautions.
Although nursing homes are the real battle ground for the 1 per thousand.
### - methinks these are just early days in learning to live with such dangerous pandemics, that we're only really learning the required
protocols now via these very experiences, the previous suggestion for an immediate 2-week global lockdown whenever these things are first identified, was only really half-joking in content and because it's gonna have to be something along those lines if we don't want to suffer a worst-case scenario with something even more deadly...
that we've created the global village, and so now we're gonna have to
learn how to adapt to living with some of the fairly predictable hazards
of having done so... one of which may have to include setting aside enough surplus supplies etc to carry us through say a whole month of being on global lockdown every now and again: once every 10-years maybe! and then
we can say we have allowed for it + have now obviated the problem :)

### - it would seem to be as-contagious as spanish flu + slightly more deadly...
the spanish flu hit the world while it was at a very low ebb though just after ww1, people were in a weakened position in every sense of the term, everyone was affected... today, however, people are very much more robust in many ways, things haven't been great for the last 70 years but they haven't been anything near as bad as ww1 & 2 either! morale is higher, health is stronger, confidence & self-esteem is higher probably than ever before (sounds like an advert for a fucking holiday camp lol! which it is! albeit currently a very cruel one...)
necessity being the mother of invention they'll realise soon enough that
we have to expect such things 'and' learn to handle them; we're being forced to adapt by nature itself!
learning to act enough in-time to be effective seems to be our current lesson, and if/when it costs us enough we'll eventually learn to strike some kinda more correct balance with it whatever it takes, and move on...

don't get to excited, remember about 250,000 people
die everyday on planet Earth
remember that's every day, all the time.
since you've been here and after you leave
it will still be happening.

It's spreading through Cali mate, you live there and you're over 70.
Check the mortality stats. I'm 65 and I'm concerned, not yet worried. Prepped to the eyeballs too.
Don't forget the swathe AIDS cut through Cali last century. Sometimes libertarianism has its own dangers.
And finally, while academically we know a quarter of a million die off
each day, when one of those is YOU, then the focus intensifies by a
quarter million times.
We also know academically black holes swallow suns, neutron stars
