As predicted on this site, a pandemic is on the way, a new coronavirus is spreading around the world . It has aerial transmition . The non-symptomatic perid can extend from 1 up to 14 days. And it has been confirmed that non-symptomatic patients can spread the disease . Death rate could be 3% or more . The younger and elderly are specially vulnerable . It is a dangerous, uncontain situation at the moment. You can protect yourself and help avoid the spread of the virus by wearing a N95 mask and by washing your hands frequently or using hand cleaner . Avoid travel and crowded areas .
RNA tests inticate that the first cases were acquired from a snake in a Wuhan wet market . Who knew you could expect worse than a venomous bite ?
Please stay safe .
Hi, everyone. This is my first post here, but I’ve been lurking for almost two years now. So, HELLO!
Anyway, I’ve been a little worried about this coronavirus. I remember during the Read the Future Night held back in November, Andrew Posey predicted a “disease that takes the attention away from power to survival” and “a rapid shift, decline to survival.” Well, here we are.
At any rate, I decided to throw some cards to see if Spirit could shed any light on what will happen. I generally avoid using the Tarot for things that spike my anxiety to avoid a false reading, but I thought I’d try for this.
I did a quick Past/Present/Future spread, and this is what I got – I’d be interested to hear what everyone thinks:
Past: 4 of Cups
Present: 10 of Coins
Future: 8 of Swords
My interpretation: A past of apathy and self-absorption has led us to this current problem. In the present, people continue to (perhaps unwisely) attend social gatherings. (Interestingly, I’ve seen some interpretations of the RW 10 of Coins as depicting a marketplace, which is where the virus is said to have originated.) Unfortunately the 8 of Swords likely indicates oppression, confusion, and isolation as the future result. I’m wondering if this means autocratic governments might use the coronavirus as a means to solidifying their hold on power by closing borders, etc.
I’d love to know if any of you disagree; as I said, I generally use the Tarot for personal readings for myself and those close to me. Also, I’d love to hear if any of you have picked up on this in any of your meditations.
Although I’ve never posted before, this community has come to mean a lot to me over the past few years and has brought me much strength when I needed it most. So happy to officially “meet” you all now :)

I believe your reading is right . Under the threat of a dangerous virus even democracies become autoritative. Any government is under threat, specially if they cover up the situation and facilitate the spread of the virus . It will criple trust and make the outbreak much worse .
I believe China is meant to become a democracy as it becomes the greatest country on Earth . Could this be the beginning of it ?
Use your N95 mask, wash or sanitize your hands, avoid travel and crowded places . Please help avoid the spread of the new coronavirus .
Thank you for posting this!
We're listening to the news but almost none of us are doing the things we need to do to protect ourselves from so many potentially lethal outbreaks now.
We forget just how small our world really is with world travelers coming in and out of our country and bringing so many germs and viruses in with them.
And I had no idea this all started with a snake bite. Feels like a very potent sign somehow.
We know our world population will be at risk in the decades to come as ice melt and glacial erosion release ancient microbes no one would even know how to treat and as we all build up a super resistance to the few antibiotics we even can take without allergic reactions or that even work at all even against MRSA which supposedly many of are now carrying and doctors, nurses and hospital workers patently carry as well.
We all carry so much within us already (viruses, bacteria, even cancer cells and diseases once considered curable are now harming (as you have said) the very young and very elderly.
And just this morning I heard on the news that Trump was bringing all the Americans home from the stricken areas of China...healthy as well as I'll. How's that all going to work?
China may think they are able to build a hospital in 10 days but apparently those of us who live in the U.S. (with so many inmates running our institutions) would need to hold a Congressional hearing to call a spade a spade much less know how to find one, use one, or how to pay for it--much less get anything that needed done right now--actually done.
It probably wasn't a snake bite . It looks more like in the making of snake soup or barbecue, infected snake lungs and guts got tossed on the floor where they stay all day long. As this virus seems to have great ease to get airborne, some people ended up breathing it in . Maybe the cook got infected . Unawarely they started spreading the disease, and then got sick .
We are all connected . Our prideful predation of mother Nature can only bring disaster .
Makes me think of the movie "Contagion," and the chef wiping his bloody hands on his apron, then going out to greet diners who want to compliment him on the meal, thus starting the spread.
I have a friend who is currently in Kyrgyzstan, near the border of China, and they have been told to not eat any meat from street markets, nor certain fruits (specifically apples, bananas, and oranges).
@thebeast, I noticed yesterday that the stores where I live are sold out of anti-viral masks, as well as Amazon!
People who plan to fly should read up on how to protect themselves from catching this virus on an airplane where passengers sit in close quarters and breathe each other's air. I scanned a bunch of websites and found this sensible advice for anyone who wants to avoid catching cold and flu viruses in from air travel: (1) Sit in in your seat and stay there the whole trip. (2) Don't touch the magazines and other materials in the pocket. (3) Try to take care of bathroom needs before the flight. If you must go to the restroom, don't touch anything with bare hands. (4) Wash hands in warm soapy water for 20 seconds, (5) Wear an antiviral mask during the trip. I didn't have this advice when I traveled a few weeks ago but because it was flu season, I hunkered down in my set, zipped my jacket all the way up so it covered my nose and mouth, and went to sleep. The jacket is not anti-viral, but at least it keeps droplets from hitting me if someone coughs or sneezes.
This virus has some daunting properties that help it to spread: A Lancet study that followed just one family with the disease noticed that one child carried the virus but did not get sick. So it is possible that this virus can spread through asymptomatic carriers. It also has a 1-14 day incubation period, so anyone who is infected will not show symptoms during that time -- adding to the numbers of people who will go undetected. At the end of the day, they need to be able to test people for the virus in the way that AIDS has been contained, but in China, they have run out of test kits.
I don't expect that the Trump Administration will be helpful in making sure we have enough test kits and in setting up for a national public health emergency. They will be more concerned with protecting businesses who stand to lose by quick and strict rules. They are also incompetent and under the leadership of a Bozo. So far they've just been stopping people in airports who came from Wuhan and have symptoms. But it is undoubtedly spread by people who show no symptoms, so they are allowing people to come in and circulate freely. God help us.
Is WHO still saying the virus is not global?
They are waiting for what exactly?
Tick Tick Tick...
To those interested, the evidence poiting towards a snake origin came from this article on the journal of Medical Virology .

Sorry I mislead you to think it came from a bite .
