    We're not saying that it was engineered, we're just saying that the Wuh Flu almost definitely escaped from the Wuhan Lab of Virology or similar facility there. It could have even been a purposefully release by an individual or group protesting the communist gov. Gov like the US don't just shut down like this over a new virus. The US received intel that required us to react as we did. This virus triggered real worry and panic for obvious reasons.

    There is documented precedence of chinese virology lab workers caught removing dead test animals from facilities then selling them on the black market to make a bit of extra cash. This is definitely a possibility for the "accidental" release of this latest virus pandemic. Just a simple need for more money, no other secret agenda, just money.

    We all are aware of tourettes right?, what a stammer is, people of nervous disposition, they may cough, certain folk may add "aye", or "you know" or "know what I mean" on the end of sentences and on it goes, "like".

    They are habits, bad ones at that, some can't be helped, others are basically due to the person being an uneducated dumb-arse. When such habits manifest themselves into typed words, it's bad, when such a habit has continued for over 10 years, then it kinda reveals something about the person, mentally retarded springs to mind.

    Does anyone see any green wedge, I sure as hell don't and I made the damn chart.
    Maybe it's there somewhere - next to the "bullshit" wedge

    Maybe people don't know math really, or statistics - maybe fear over nothing is enough to take away rights.

    This whole thing cracks me up. Less than 3 million have been recorded as infected world wide. There are probably ten times that. There are only 8 Billion people left to go. There is no way to go back to work. This thing in the USA of getting money to small businesses was a big bad stupid joke as soon as the money was to be distributed by the Small Business Administration. They are historically known for lending money only to people that don't need it or that are almost perfectly destined to fail. So they rejected almost all the people that have their own money invested in their companies. The government did a perfect job of murdering "Main Street." This is the best part. They don't even know it yet. These businesses are totaled and done. They will not be coming back. Those jobs are lost forever. This was the desired goal and effect of the Democrat Party. They want people that were hanging by a thread, on their own money, to get a promise and then nothing. So they handed this task to the SBA. It was a perfect example of government having no experience running a business. This screw-up is ten times worse than the pandemic. This country is 40% unemployed from now and forward. The government will need to give out grants to all these failed businesses because they killed them through the SBA roll out of an attempt to protect them in the first place. But it's too late now. Businesses are closing for good. It's too risky to trust government bureaucracy. That means that more than half the people of America will be unemployed. So here comes Communism. Enjoy it. This is the crisis that they have always dreamed of.

    What a mess.

    “May you live in interesting times”.

    A blessing...or a curse...depending on which origin story you believe.

    Really good that, wonder what the 2000 people who died in a 24 hour period in NYC would have thought, the parents of the 6 month old baby, the parents of of 12 year old child, the 7000 who have died in NYC, the 20,000 people who have died in Italy, they don't matter cos' they were all old (not true).

    Families have lost mothers, fathers, siblings, it doesn't matter that are mere statistics, ditto for all those health workers who have lost their lives trying to save others, 39 of those in the UK alone, I wonder what figure the clown used for China, Iran? I wonder if his off-spring has a do not resuscitate associated with it's name which is the case in the UK for those that are not deemed 100 healthy. normal!!

    Only 209 have died in New Jersey, but they are statistics, I suppose 209 people form New Jersey is not so bad if it ended there, except we are in the mist of it, we don't know when this thing will plateau. I was reading yesterday scientists tried 15 years ago to create a a vaccine for CoVid viruses (SARs) and they couldn't, they may have more success this time around, maybe not, which means this will linger for a long time to come. only time will tell.

    114k deaths as of 13/4/20, only deaths that occur in hospitals are included in UK figures, die at home or in a care-home some of which are being devastated, then you don't count. But even if you doubled the 114k figure to 228k, still only a mere blip on a pie chart, back to work folks, fuck the burden on the Health Service, our neighbours, or co-workers, "I'm alright jack", perhaps.

    Fuck Covid-19, re-open the casinos, where the risk and buzz has intensified.

    Funny that, except MERS came from the Middle East, but I get the sentiment.

    Enter any figures you wish, I'm pretty certain people won't be able to see the GREEN WEDGE, I sure as hell don't and I didn't make the damn chart. Maybe it's there somewhere - next to the "bullshit" just another statistic.

    Healthy Children born in the USA vs those sufferings from Asperger's, Down-Syndromes, Autistic, or ANY OTHER handicapping medical condition that will require a life-time of care.

    Shit I can't be bothered doin' anther damn chart, as I'm sure it would look the same.
    All those that have served their country in the USA, vs those that severed and are now homeless, cast-adrift by the Government.

    I still can't see the GREEN WEDGE, fuck 'em, I want my rights.

    For anyone under lock down at this time, this is worth a watch.

    While it relates to the Spanish flu which killed between 50~100 MILLION (according to new research) by the time it was done, as well as bringing to a conclusion the first world war. What is noticeable are the similarities between 102 years ago and now. Highly contagious, Isolation, Stay indoors and of course the devastating consequences of lifting the curfew too early in Philadelphia. Of course with Cov-19 (China's gift to the world), you live a little bit longer.

    So long as you have a roof over your head, are able to eat, that is all that matters. While the economic impact is important, it matters even less once your dead. Thank you Chi~naan, I hope the pangolin was worth it.

    Damn. Heart issues seem to be this thing's achilles's heel. Was hopeful it could be something to bridge the time gap to a true vaccine.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/12/health/chloroquine-coronavirus-trump.html

    Well, something out there will react positively with Covid-19, even something as benign as aspirin could form part of a treatment cocktail. The vaccine isn't necessary to get everyone out of the house, back to work, etc, we just need a treatment that can reduce hospitalization by -75% or more, bring the fatality numbers back down to "normal" flu levels.

    If they found one that was effective in the next few weeks, imagine how that would change the current outlook.

    I think allowing the young ones who have been infected and recovered should be the first to venture out and back to work. I was reading a piece yesterday from an Australian scientist and how they tried to create a vaccine for SAR's 15 years ago, she said, basically they couldn't.

    So it doesn't bode well for a vaccine any time soon, they may have a break through, who knows. They estimate 75~80% of the UK population will catch this, which is going to wipe out up to 1/2 million, obviously countries can't remain in lockdown until a vaccine appears, so maybe society will just have to accept higher death rates as part of life, if you'll pardon the oxymoron.

    On the plus side, while the Spanish Flu wrecked havoc around the world a century ago, man-kind is still here, some of whom are torturing cats and dogs so the meat taste better.

    Yeah, you’d have to think that once they get the antibody-presence test dialed in that it will help a ton. Pass the test, go back to work, back to life, etc. I would think that would be easier to develop than the actual virus presence test, but who knows.

    Fast, same day result tests, for both the virus itself and post-virus antibodies present will be a godsend.
