Covid-19 Discussion (moderated)

    Have you seen the news this week?  The only people left to get a vaccine are the welfare crowd...lol  If you get a shot at a baseball stadium this summer,..Budweiser will give you a free beer. In Connecticut if you show a vaccine card....you get a free drink. Restaurants in D.C are giving $50. gift certificates for you to get a vaccine. Tattoo Parlors are giving free tattoos for you to get a vaccine.   Geezs Louise....I have to be honest.....I never saw any of THAT coming!   If I had just held out a little longer,......                                                                 "I Could Of Been A Contender"                                                                           

Too late for you,you are already one

Wich one?

Earlier in the crisis Nepal's Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli recommended the Nepalese gargle with guava leaves to ward off infection.

Nepal prime minister faces no confidence vote as nation ‘stares into COVID abyss’ (news.com.au)

 ''It didn’t work.''

Oli lost its no confidence vote. In the meantime could India' s 2nd wave have reached its peak already?  https://youtu.be/mZ7mfD8tZek

My friends ask me, "Jamie, why do you so often talk to yourself?"

I tell them it is the only place I can find an intelligent conversation! 

The "Spanish Flu" pandemic of 1918 -1920 killed at least 17 million people, perhaps as high as 100 million, and likely infected 500 million.

One of the deaths was my maternal grandfather's teenage brother.

When we compare ourselves sometimes we realize we're lucky enough, Freud was talking to the stones in his mind. Said, in Latin: Saxa loquacious! Progress has been made since. But the pandemic reveals such lack of investment in health sciences, it's like when it took 2 years before IBM realized where they had to invest their billions , which technological advances was the future , so that the PC 🖥 could become a reality someday . I read today when they finally understood they invested more money in that endeavor than what was put into space exploration at the time by everyone including the federal government. That was in the sixties.

EDIT: NOT the money invested into space exploration " at the time " but annually 

Here in Uruguay we are one of the fastest countries in terms of vaccination all over the world. Unfortunately, we are also number one in infections and deaths per million, as our President has refused repeatidly to impose lockdowns. In addition, most people have been vaccinated with the Chinese Coronavac, which is effective preventing deaths and hospitalisations, but not very good in preventing infections, so more people need to be vaccinated in order to stop the spread of the virus.

In China they had closed over 20, 000 wet markets at some point. But now they might very well have  been all reopened. Is there another Wuhan in the making? Welcome your thoughts 😌 Human nature is  like that. It’s changing all the time. So what is the solution?

Corona virus is a biological weapon

[Research has indicated the coronavirus is 96% genetically identical to coronavirus previously identified in bats-It is not a biological weapon-UpbeatAngle]

My uncle passed away three weeks ago because of this biological weapon.

Sorry for your loss Ruffled Zest. It's a terrible thing 😕

Please keep the biological weapon conspiracy theories out of the thread unless you have some kind of respectable news outlet backing you up...

You can definitely talk about how there's still doubt about patient zero, etc. but you need to stop short of declaring Covid-19 a man-made (or purposefully released) virus.

   I guess nobody saw the film last night heh..  "Race To The Vaccine"   the best I can find is THIS.....its 45 mins...            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbZUZ9JYNBE
