Supermarkets still fully stocked. Were I of money & knowledge I would buy a put on toilet paper – the tricky thing is to ascertain the time range, the point at which people realise they have enough loo roll for the next 10 years so they stop buying, and hence toilet paper companies experience a sudden drop in sales.

I know two people who know people with Coronavirus now. I wonder how long before I know someone personally.

My read, as Bruce Charlton and others claim there is no CV and it’s just a pretext for the globohomo to go to full New World Order boot-in-face: it is possible that all the video/photos leaked from China, and the evidence that Iran is digging mass graves, is a wide-scale deception; I find it harder to believe that Western Europe could carry this off, and it’s clear that something serious has befallen e.g. Italy. I think the Cabal released this in the hope of setting off a war between the US and China, and to crash the world economy and so sabotage Trump’s 2020 election – as if The God Emperor would be at all daunted by such a minor inconvenience. Naturally, each regional Cabal-satrap is using the CV to increase their powers.

The God Emperor is not to be foxed by mere Satanists. I fully anticipate that, in a year’s time, everyone will be perplexed that the Coronavirus merely aided Trump in his endeavours.

1. The Italians are beginning to take this seriously. I went to Despar and it was almost sold out of Vitamin C. I bought the last two packs with a sense of glee.

2. There is a curious sense of simultaneous wariness and solidarity. Everyone except me is wearing a mask – I don’t bother, as I left it too late to get a real one, and I would only submit to wearing the Bane:

The few people I see on the street naturally steer to give each other as wide a berth as possible; and yet, there is a sense of “we’re in this together” for all there is an undeniable frisson of “don’t fucking infect me!”

I went into my usual supermarket and the usual young chap on the counter – wearing a mask and gloves – gave me a nod of comradely recognition, as to say “we both may be dead soon, perchance we shall meet in Hades among the shades bereft of glory”.

And twice as I crossed roads, cars simply stopped to let me walk. This has never ever happened to me before in Italy – the Italian driving custom is to drive and fast and as wildly as possible, one hand dangling out of the window with a bottle of beer and/or cigarette, while screaming, “vai! vai! stronzo! cazzo!” at everyone.

An Audi of all cars actually stopped, on a deserted empty road in the late evening, to let me cross. I smiled and gave the driver a wave, as to say, “I shall remember you when we meet again in Valhalla.”

Living in one of the Northern Italian epicentres of Coronavirus, I’ve decided to provide occasional updates to the situation for English-speakers who, for whatever reason, are interested.

There was little reporting about Coronavirus until it really hit Italy – most people I talked to hadn’t even heard about it, but then Italians are an incurious people. It is now a daily event in the media.

I went shopping on Sunday evening (8th March) and although most bars were closed, people were strolling merrily down the narrow city streets, in groups, laughing and kissing and dancing and basically being as Italian as possible.

The next day, I was advised that the police were arresting people for being outdoors without a good reason. On that evening I could hear birdsong in the city centre.

When I went out just now (Tuesday 10th March) the streets were almost totally empty.

I went to a Despar for wine etc. and found the vitamin supplement shelf totally full, so people aren’t panic-buying Vitamin C/D/etc.

In general, the Italians are a feckless childish people who will ignore warnings until the police threaten them with 3 months’ prison.

Coronal socio-politics

I currently live in a Coronavirus epicentre. Contrary to the news reports, there isn’t mass panic, just more people wearing face masks. However, I think when the number of cases rises there will be increasing caution and fear, which will in turn lead to socio-political transformations. If one takes disgust sensitivity and fear of the unknown as k-selected characteristics, then it could be that Coronavirus will forcegrow a k-mindset in each affected country.

I used to wonder how the happy-go-lucky “I love foreigners!” r-mindset so prevalent in the more prosperous (resource abundant) Western countries could be undone, given that many Lefties will make excuses for their swarthy rapists or excuse their children’s murderers. But there is something primal and insidious about the chronic menace of lethal disease; and as the “welcome foreigners!” r-selected mindset is clearly likely to lead to illness, it could be that people as a whole will become much more conservative, cautious, prudent. A huge military age African male babbling about how hungry he is, and how you must help him, is one thing when you can fob him off with a euro, or the entire contents of your purse; it’s another thing when he’s probably going to infect you with a lethal disease just by standing in your proximity.

And of course death is a great tutor to erring men.
