    Why do you come to this place? Do you get along with anyone? What’s the point?

    I get along with him. I don't agree with him on some things but we've always had good conversations. I was fortunate to meet him and his family a while back. Nice people. I would drink a beer with either and/or both of you. Might even buy.

    Anyway, he comes here for the same reason you do,

    Big Blazer fan!

    Covid-19 can cause permanent damage. I heard of a patient who contracted the virus and got big holes in his lungs so bad that had he survived he would have needed a lung transplant. It can also permanently damage the heart.

    Tom Hanks did a great job in Cast Away. As a whole, he's an excellent all-around actor. May his wife R.I.P. and God be with him.

    Um, Rita Wilson is still very much alive.

    Did you mean Kelly Preston, which is John Travoltas wife? Or are you just repeating (again) something you heard without actually doing any research on it?

    Man, thanks for that correction! I was mistakenly thinking of John Travolta's wife, Kelly Preston.

    Sorry, Tom.

    Love the way you edited your response, as well as editing your quote in my response. Stay classy, as always. Heh.

    Neat thing called "google".

    Also, this other neat thing called "if I'm suggesting that someone is dead, I should probably make sure". It's related to google. ;)

    Ooh, I see. you were joking like I edited your post to imply you said the wrong wife. Hehe.

    In the future, go with something like "OOOH, I see how it is. You edit it to look like I said the wrong person died. I'm on to your game!"

    Then I'll know wtf you're joking about.

    Google is just like Gestapo, remember?

    Besides, wives are pretty much interchangeable.

    There's a pretty broad range of subjects in Google, I'm gonna guess it exceeds a gazillion and I just don't have the time remaining to explore a gazillion. Therefor, I tend to limit myself to subjects that have some sort of meaning, you know, like the new In and Out Burger.

    Nah, I'm sorry. I had some work distractions. I thought you had later added.... "Or are you just repeating (again) something you heard without actually doing any research on it?"....to your initial comments. If not, my bad and I apologize for calling you out.

    But, anyway, as you had mentioned, I was thinking of Kelly Preston.

    Other than that, my comments to crandc remain the same, though. I'm not quite certain what she was attempting to get at with her "island hero is a male" comment, But, oh, well.

    FWIW....

    https://www.aier.org/article/month-four-of-the-panic-where-is-the-evidence/

    This was their bottom line:

    Where is the extraordinary evidence?

    Since testing was started for COVID-19, Asia has shown very small numbers. Why should that be? Could it be possible that this disease passed through Asia during December 2019 and January 2020 before the panic? Did it fly under the radar because it can be so confused with influenza, the common cold, bronchitis, or other respiratory infections? Quite possibly that is the case, especially considering all of the activities in Asia. Most cases that have been reported have been clusters, and yes, about 50% of the clusters have been in care facilities.

    No matter how you analyze it, this virus is NOT apocalyptic.

    If there is no extraordinary evidence, why are there such extraordinary claims and responses? Why has the world medical, social, and economic order been torn apart for a pandemic that looks much like a normal influenza pandemic? These are the questions for which we will be seeking answers for years to come.

    Looks a lot like a conspiracy theory based on nothing.

    Anybody who would write that is either an uninformed nitwit or is feeding propaganda crap to people for political reasons.
