Yeah....I predicted it too. I had a full pantry and practiced social distancing before it was cool.

I think that lunatic Glen Beck might have been right too.

I watched a YouTube video the other day where they interviewed a WWI vet. It was posted on YouTube about 10 years ago and no doubt recorded some time before that. He was talking about the Spanish Flu that hit hard around 1918.

He said they got on the ship in the US and by the time they landed in France, 19 soldiers had died and were buried at sea.

The name of the ship he was on? CORONA.

CDC was worried about a respiratory virus pandemic and publicly stated so in 2017.
