With millions now living under home lockdown (or as it’s more gently referred to, “mandatory sheltering in place”) the serious reality of the coronavirus’ impact is sinking in.
Confined to remaining in your home, squeezed in with family members, can be frustrating and stressful. Especially if you’re watching your savings vaporize in the markets on a daily basis.
On top of that, many households aren’t receiving income while under lockdown. And many of those still employed are increasingly fearful that the longer this persists, the more likely their job will be lost in the coming mass layoffs.
The key to preserving your happiness and sanity during this undetermined period of house arrest will be maintaining your emotional resilience, as well as healthy relationships with those living under your roof.
With expert guidance on how to do that, Chris takes time in today’s video update to interview Dr. Peter Boghossian, author of the best-selling book How To Have Impossible Conversations.
Dr Boghossian explains how to get your spouse, your kids, your elderly/at risk family members, onto or at least nearer to a mutual understanding of the ‘house rules’ that will preserve safety, respect and harmony during this open-ended period of sheltering through the covid-19 threat:

Chris Martenson has played a large role in stoking fear over this non-existent “threat”. Whether he is lying or just a compliant fool remains to be determined. He is selling fear, nothing else.
How can an “economist” advocate for complete destruction of the economy, which will certainly kill millions of people, to avoid the deaths of a fraction of that number who are compromised already? I wonder who controls him?
Don’t fall into the trap. Keep your eyes and mind open. Reject the lies of automatons like Martenson.
Deception and lies by our government and other individuals has created the situation where most of us shake our heads and ask the question “who do you believe?”. I’ve gone back and forth in my mind on whether or not to take what Chris says at face value. I believe that in the next 2 weeks we will know. We will know because the Coronavirus will be at our own door steps — or it won’t.
B55, the point is that allowing the virus, which there are many questions about, to run its course will be far less damaging than what the government advocated repercussions will deliver.
The medical establishment will be overrun if we let this virus continue!
How about being non-existent if the economy melts down?
Huge defaults loom if this continues apace. The banks will fail. Economic Armageddon.
That’s the solution the State is implementing.
I’d rather have the virus on my doorstep than the government goon squads wanting to escort me to a “safe location”.
Faux Queue above….
Agreed. I just read the latest blog post by Karl Denninger. He basically says the same thing and he shows the math on why this is going to be devastating to the economy. I’m coming to the conclusion that this is the main goal. To bring about the changes that the elites/PTB/Globalists want. A new world-wide monetary system, the destruction of America’s dollar and nationalism, etc.

Except for the 5% of infected who need an ICU but won’t get one due to overcrowding and then will very likely die,
yes.
When the medical system breaks down, it’s going to be a hell of a lot more than 5% paying with their lives.
Reality is going to drive right over you.
Agreed. Look at his lead paragraph in which he is perfectly complacent to a condition where people are willingly (or not) surrendering their liberty – and without due process. One doesn’t even hear the term due process mentioned in the power grabs that have been made by both municipal mayors and state governors – all in the name of something that potentially might happen. The mayor and governor where I live were both whining that “we have to do this” [destroy the local and state economies] because “people might die.”
It is a hoax in the sense that most people will be just fine, and so will the rest until their lung capacity reaches the low single digits.

Denninger: Here’s the Risk, Folks
Hey Chris, STFU! What a whore.
Most people do not understand. 95% of people will test positive. Almost everyone has this virus already. Most are immune. Some will have some symptoms. A few will have serious symptoms and there are those for which it will be fatal.
Like Epstein Barr virus…most people have it but it’s dormant. The tests are USELESS. There is NO cure. Only some relief for those suffering. By quarantining everyone you are guaranteeing this virus to rear it’s ugly head repeatedly. Quarantine the most at risk…Not the entire fucking nation.
” Quarantine the most at risk”, somehow that will be held to be “racist” and therefore not allowed.
Anyone who feels most at risk, should quarantine themselves, voluntarily.
