[AT] The list is really quiet

I worked for the state of OK for over 30 years and was involved with
over 25 federally declared disasters and the OKC bombing. I am listed
as one of the survivors. Personally I am not buying this hype about the
virus. I do believe that it may have hit some people here in our area
in late Jan early Feb and one of the younger guys, about 35, said it
just took everything out of him and it was the worst case of the flu he
ever had and he and his wife and 4 yr old child had had the flu shot
this year and they all got this flu. It took each one at least 5 days
to recover.... I am not one of those conspiracy theory guys either, but
after 30 years I learned that truth ain't in a politician. And when
faced with telling the prescribed spin or the truth, Government
Employees will go with the spin... Mostly because they can't get a
job anywhere else. This last line I know personally as I was looking
for another job after 5 years with the state. No one would hire me as I
had worked for the government too long. So I stayed and made life
miserable for the politicians. They couldn't fire me cause I had too
good of a memory and I was the only one with the experience needed for
my job.... No brag, just fact. In these times keep your eyes open,
your money safe, doors locked, every fuel tank full and whatever else
loaded. Good luck to all & I pray that we all survive the virus and the
government....
