  • A while ago, we came across H5N1 which was an avian flu that affected our poultry population and costs. 
  • Recently, the government has mandated entire flocks/factory farms to kill their entire bird population because of one "suspected" case.
  • In the past, they were wondering how people would be affected if the disease mutated to be able to infect humans.
  • Today, they are saying that we now have a human version/mutation with a 50% mortality rate among humans. (This is based on fewer than 1000 known human cases to date).

This has the potential to be the thing that kills half the population.  But the WHO and the CDC has lost all credibility.  So, when they raise an alarm like this (which may very well be true) how are we supposed to believe them?  How are we supposed to trust that we should rationally/logically give up our rights, our living, our social existence because "they said so"?

If they had only handled COVID more honestly, rationally, and accurately, then their credibility would be such that this 50% alarm would be taken seriously.  But with their track record, we have a population that is ready to just blow it off and possibly allow this virus to kill 50% of our population.

I don't blame that result on "stupid conservatives" who refuse to listen to experts.  I blame it on unelected bureaucrats who have cried wolf in the biggest most public manner that their (possibly valid) alarm will fall on deaf ears.

I truly fear that in the coming years we will have a "boy who cried wolf" situation, and for those who read scripture, it will likely align with more financial crises, as well as wars of various kinds. Things are going to get bad, and we need to prepare our households in more ways than one.
