Shadowrun (the tabletop RPG that has a rich history from 1989 to 2063 -- I play third edition when I played, I got the main book and about 18 supplemental books). Wouldn't you know they predicted the future again. Kinda. It's a kind of AIDS II, and the french (I'm french canadian, dunno what the english book or shadowrun wikis call it), but it's SIVID-II. Pretty close. Anything non-magic related (although even that is kind of strangely falling apart and this agnostic/borderline atheist has no idea what to make of it) and metahuman and meta-creatures, so almost everything scientific, tech, historical happens almost to a T. Those dudes at FASA had some deep knowledge, no wonder Microsoft bought Shadowrun (to awful results).
So, at least, it seems that augmented reality/the matrix will not be required and flesh and bones only humans are still common by 2063.
Yeah, Xorkoth, I thought all the old timers knew I was Canadian here
A security guard anywhere outside the 6 very large cities in a pharmacy is very strange indeed, at any time. To me it seems incredibly ridiculous, we only have under 700 infected and 4 dead in this province. New-Brunswick just 3 hours east of me has 14 cases. Manitoba has 20. Only Vancouver and cement jungle southern Ontario seem to get hit. From what I've seen, those who say heat and humidity will kill off the virus make me laugh, seems to me like Canada, Russia and the US (Alaska) are the places least hit.
I still don't understand how it even made it to Newfoundland where there was just 3 cases 2 days ago, don't know now, check out the map I linked to....although John Hopkins are one of the 3 players in that Event 201 tabletop "game" they played with the World Economic Forum and the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, psychopaths ahoy preparing for a coronavirus "game" on october 18th 2019. Thoseugenic obsessed freaks (especially the Gates) who think of mosquitos as flying vaccine syringes, their results are extremely dire and they start nowhere in Uruguay n some pig farm. 65 million dead etc. And then it just happens right after those strange, I-didn't-know-existed "Military Olympics" or Military Games or such, I guess the Outgames being such a failure in Montreal in 2006, gays got to have their own olympics still...loljk, on Nov 18th when the simulation similar to "Operation Dark Winter" from summer 2001 which was a corporate training with fake news with a fake news queen who does prison for her CNP causes, Judith Miller, and her book Germs mostly about Saddam coming out September 4th or so in 2001) being the news anchor for those kind of pretty not-so cringey videos, it's how much reality has turned to shit, even cheesy work training videos seem more real. Anyway, in Operation Dark Winter Iraq, Lybia, Bin Laden get blamed for the extremely strong "smallpox" that somehow Bin Laden had and knew how to deploy. Then after 9/11, the Anthrax attacks, and she spends 2 years writing her neocon columns in some big newspaper in the US, I forget which of the big 4, either NYT, Whole Foods-CIA-Amazon-Washington-ComPost, WSJ or LA Times. You people can look for it yourselves, I spent 20 years saving websites as pdf files. Anybody familiar with the Iraq war lie that almost enough people saw through, remembers who Judith Miller is.
So this is creepy times....yeah, stocks are not things I ever cared for, so I don't care about that, and I like my gas at 83,5/L , I hadn't seen lower than 98 cents/L since way back in 1997. All of us who still have jobs since they are not functionary/public jobs who get to work anyway are pretty lucky, for now strongly unionized people like my mother manages to sit 2 weeks at home being paid anyways and her boyfriend is manager at a grocery store so they're both fine. My bro is fine too, he works outside most of the time, alone or with 1 other person, the life of a natural milieu tech seems very lonely. heh
My heart goes to all of those who cannot work, that's the biggest problem in Canada, it causes a lot more trouble than COVID-19. 600 infections and 4 dead and it's not climbing much more since 2 days, it seems to have hit a peak. So all of this for not even 1000 people. The PM of Nova Scotia was forced into declaring a medical emergency even if he didn't want to, they got about 15 cases there and no dead. But all provinces and territories invoked those powers so they went ahead. Even silly ol' Yukon and NWT's have 3 cases between the two of them so far. You can see why I find all of this very scary...
I think some freedoms will be restored when things get back to as normal as they can be, but it will be the post 9/11 surveillance state+ now with Biometrics. Only way to have the rabble accept facial recognition no matter where on earth you are from satellites and prediction of your choices and pre-crime arrests. No more room for optimism, when I saw what the Dicks did to Sanders again, who although older than Biden, looks 500% healthier, isn't some kind of crazy uncle with pre-alzheimer's dementia. I think he'll concede and the Milwaukee convention will be broken, so that Hillary can come out and "save the day", assigning Warren as her VP. The Bloomberg (oh yeah, that guy worked on the coronavirus, well, people in his name, exercise Event 201, John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health) and Warren and Buttigieg and Klobuchar gangpile on Sanders ended paying up for all the anti-democratic forces in the US. That was the last stand, you guys needed a man that old (but lucid, Sanders, not Bloomberg the fake democrat) to remember what the real America foreigners admired, even us Canadians, I wanted to move there for a chick I met on IRC in 2001, I'm glad I didn't.
So, if this isn't an accidental release of a bioweapon being worked on at Wuhan at the BL-4, the only lab meeting that standard in China), which Chinese scientists, real claims I found, not facebook or social media memes, it's the facility itself that is in the same shape as Mr.Burns powerplant, open to leaks of pollution, employees leaving with extremely hazardous material... etc.
Now Trump better shut his damn mouth about Canada needing to send in more stuff for American...Factories....hmm, is this a new term or a Trumpism?
Joking aside, the reason it's so small here and the measures overkill, they would be less so had Trump reacted in early February.
