Wait a minute.....

No Eric, we keep our cash and coin, our checking, and all of our means of business transactions. But it is time to use credit cards for online shopping while the virus passes. It's probably the first time ever I would recommend credit card over cash. I've lived by cash, and paid for what I own, and have eschewed debt other than a home mortgage that gives tax benefits. But these aren't normal times and circulating cash puts you at risk of infection.

It's no deeper and no shallower than that. It's called common sense, which God gave all of his creatures, but which man sometimes forgets he has.

Now if somebody wants to insert a chip in your body or bar code the palm of your right hand and forehead then I will consider prophecy, but we aren't there yet.

By the way, all of these measures people are getting upset about were standard operating procedure from the 1500's with the plague, throughout all outbreaks of mosquito born illness, through the 1918 H1N1 outbreak that killed so many, and the black flag flown on ships that the Pirates borrowed from was a sign of plague flown by quarantined vessels way back when. Modern man has always been subject to pandemic because of the rapid ease of travel. So if keeping people alive means shutting those down to limit transmission at least it is a method with time honored limited success.
