Good night everyone. Sweet Dreams.
Was it raised by a mother duck? What did they do that was stuck like. That just sounds so odd for a four-legged creature to try to act like a duck.
Great idea. I’ll talk to sister about it and maybe we can get ‘er done!
Not a good idea, next to the actual cash in your wallet your cell phone or i-pad/surface is the most germ infected item in everyones possession. People do not wipe them down or clean them well enough.
On another topic, my sister Phylis’ grandson Little Bobby could use your prayers. He went in for brain surgery today from 7 AM to 3 PM. The doctor nipped an artery because it wasn’t where it should have been, so he bleed out for bit before they cauterized it. This is the deaf one. His head is shaped like a football with his ears at his neck basically he’s 7 years old. Seems he lost the ability to walk these past few weeks.
His spine was covered with tumors. His brain had no more room to grow, so some fluid his spine needed was not getting there and caused the tumors. They cut his skull open and put in some kinda flap that should help. He’ll be in the ICU for at least 2 or 3 days and then it’s one day at a time. He may still end up in a wheelchair. This just breaks my heart, he’s such a happy little guy all the time dispite all his issues.
“Oh no, do you think we need to get Cooper into therapy since he’s confused to what animal he is?”
I think he ought to have special protection and rights for identifying as a different species. He should get to act like a cat at all times, scratching the furniture, be given his own litter box, gets to play with catnip balls...
Heck he doesn’t like any of that. Okay therapy sounds easiest!
Your corned beef and cabbage that’s much better than mine! I just threw it all in the crockpot.
Long Read but many of you are home so what else do you have going on, knowledge is power-
Very informative.

Feeling confused as to why Coronavirus is a bigger deal than Seasonal flu? Here it is in a nutshell....
It has to do with RNA sequencing.... I.e. genetics.
Seasonal flu is an “all human virus”. The DNA/RNA chains that make up the virus are recognized by the human immune system. This means that your body has some immunity to it before it comes around each year... you get immunity two ways...through exposure to a virus, or by getting a flu shot.
Novel viruses, come from animals.... the WHO tracks novel viruses in animals, (sometimes for years watching for mutations). Usually these viruses only transfer from animal to animal (pigs in the case of H1N1) (birds in the case of the Spanish flu). But once, one of these animal viruses mutates, and starts to transfer from animals to humans... then it’s a problem, Why? Because we have no natural or acquired immunity.. the RNA sequencing of the genes inside the virus isn’t human, and the human immune system doesn’t recognize it so, we can’t fight it off.
Now.... sometimes, the mutation only allows transfer from animal to human, for years it’s only transmission is from an infected animal to a human before it finally mutates so that it can now transfer human to human... once that happens..we have a new contagion phase. And depending on the fashion of this new mutation, thats what decides how contagious, or how deadly it’s gonna be..
H1N1 was deadly....but it did not mutate in a way that was as deadly as the Spanish flu. It’s RNA was slower to mutate and it attacked its host differently, too.
Fast forward.
Now, here comes this Coronavirus... it existed in animals only, for nobody knows how long...but one day, at an animal market, in Wuhan China, in December 2019, it mutated and made the jump from animal to people. At first, only animals could give it to a person... But here is the scary part.... in just TWO WEEKS it mutated again and gained the ability to jump from human to human. Scientists call this quick ability, “slippery”
This Coronavirus, not being in any form a “human” virus (whereas we would all have some natural or acquired immunity). Took off like a rocket. And this was because, Humans have no known immunity...doctors have no known medicines for it.
And it just so happens that this particular mutated animal virus, changed itself in such a way the way that it causes great damage to human lungs..
That’s why Coronavirus is different from seasonal flu, or H1N1 or any other type of influenza.... this one is slippery AF. And it’s a lung eater...And, it’s already mutated AGAIN, so that we now have two strains to deal with, strain s, and strain L....which makes it twice as hard to develop a vaccine.
We really have no tools in our shed, with this. History has shown that fast and immediate closings of public places has helped in the past pandemics. Philadelphia and Baltimore were reluctant to close events in 1918 and they were the hardest hit in the US during the Spanish Flu.
Factoid: Henry VIII stayed in his room and allowed no one near him, till the Black Plague passed...(honestly...I understand him so much better now). Just like us, he had no tools in his shed, except social isolation...
And let me end by saying....right now it’s hitting older folks harder... but this genome is so slippery...if it mutates again (and it will). Who is to say, what it will do next.
#flattenthecurve. Stay home folks...
Prayers for Bobby
Well, since diarrhea is rare why the toilet paper craze? I didn’t think this was an intestinal flu. Now I could see people going nuts over Kleenex or Puffs Plus.
And then you had to hold them up to the mirror to read them. :-)

FF?
BEAUTIFUL picture!
Oh that is so sad. Prayers for your mother and everyone else can find him a nursing home. And Hospital.
I figured he would in Florida.

Beautiful picture.
Oh the poor little thing. Prayers up.
I was thinking about posting the same thing, about cell phones being breathed on wouldn’t be hygienic at all. Or even tablets with fingers touching them.
I thought there was not going to be a report, just indictments? Too much speculation.
