OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

I do not approve of his holocaust reference.

I'd explain it to you but you wouldn't listen.

 

I've heard you try to "explain it", trust me.

 

We haven't spoke.. Q: If the players are vaxxed, together 24/7 in close quarters. Why do they have to wear masks and sit apart on the sidelines?

 

Saying doctors need them more and that PPE aren't effective at protecting untrained people from catching it isn't wrong.

N95 masks don't protect most people as well as doctors because most people screw around with them and aren't trained to wear them correctly. They are very effective for doctors.

Unless you are well trained you're just as well off to wear a cloth mask. But we didn't know if that would be effective at all at the time so they didn't suggest it. We didn't know at the time that cloth masks could drastically reduce the odds of you SPREADING it to others.

But it was critical that people stopped buying up all of the legit PPE.

None of that was wrong. The article you linked doesn't support your case,even though it tries to.

 

I had a friend at Tektronix who gave blood in the morning and then went to Mt. Shasta and climbed it the same day.

 

Marjorie QAnon is doubling down on her comparison of mask mandate to Nazi death camps. She now claims, while touring with child molester Gaetz in support the claim that election was stolen from god, that "reasonable Jews" agree with her comparison. Because an antisemite is the best judge of what Jewish people believe.

 

Media’s Lab Leak Failure Is Next Iraq WMD.

 

Finally finished reading this. It's a long one and I wanted to take my time. It looks to me like someone in China let the experiment escape the lab. We should also probably take a hard look at the gain-of-function research that MAY have been the culprit. Really all you can do when there isn't any smoking gun to point to.

 

amazes me we would give a US company grants to use a lab in China? This whole thing starting to stink and Media brainwashes any narrative they want.

 

Deception by the scientists, opaqueness by the funding institutions, deliberate and unintentional misreporting by the media, stupidity by the general public. Lots of blame to go around.

 

I'm not sure the 'media' really is intentionally promoting any narrative.
I think it really comes down to trying to be first with the news and trusting or running with the first thing that is reasonably logical. Minimal (if any) effort is put in to investigate what they are reporting.
They have their trusted sources, and will run with anything coming from those sources.

 

Without number 4 you can't confirm number 2 is where I'm at with the whole thing, but it's likely we will never know. 1 & 3 make sense to me, I guess I'm just unsure how you are coming to the conclusion that because it wasn't "more deadly" that it wasn't created in a lab. Feels like a big jump, especially since whether the virus emerged naturally or in a lab it has still been pretty damn deadly.

 

This article pointed to certain markers (furin cleavage site?) that did differentiate from naturally occurring viruses, at least to my limited understanding. . I'm with you though, I'm no expert. I am skeptical of just about any definitive truths these days though.

 

What we know: it is not bioweapon.

The lab in Wuhan was conducting research on the family of viruses. I have worked in enough labs to know safety protocols are only as good as people carrying them out. People screw up and I have known supervisors cut corners; I was once threatened with "very severe consequences" by my supervisor when I refused to falsify data. And viruses are known to rapidly mutate. So a person accidentally getting infected isn't Jewish space lasers. It's possible. But far from proven. What is needed is thorough unbiased fact based investigation, which WHO had undertaken. Unfortunately lab leak is now an article of faith on the right for political and often racist reasons, from the same people who insisted it was just a little flu, touted hydroxychoroquine, denounced masks and oppose vaccines, with the additional trope that Dr. Fauci is guilty of something. And Trump is the hero. Also the election was stolen. So article after article from non scientists with incomplete data who start with a conclusion and then try to make facts fit.

And I wish auto correct would stop changing data to days. Had to fix twice.

 

You Don't Say.

 

The gain-of-function process is taking a virus & taking the naturally occurring variants with slight DNA variations being inserted.

Its not 'man made' in the traditional sense. But is it likely altered/modified by humans.

The link I posted above goes into a lot of the details

 

If you put this in a movie, as soon as people saw it they'd decry how fake it is. Even when carried by a reputable news source you've got to ask yourself, "Could this be true?".
