Uh-oh!

Some prayers up for Boris.

I don’t know much about him,
but the Brits seem to like him.

[grey_whiskers]

Thank you very much, sirrah!

I’ve recently read the virus seems to be hitting African Americans especially hard for some reason.

Sickle Cell is part of it, however the African American community has very high rates of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance.

So BIG cats can get it, too?

Not good news for the felines.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Travis County confirmed COVID-19 cases up to 484 (Texas, 4/5/20)

[PA Engineer]

The term is "Credentialed Eminence."

We've run into it, however we have a great team. They scream the loudest when their grant money and prestige is challenged.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Coronavirus in Texas: 22 more deaths reported statewide; total cases climbs to 6,812 (4/5/20)

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Coronavirus in Central Texas: Williamson County reports second death (4/5/20)

[Thud]

The author seems to have violated the law against people who aren’t physicians making physicians look bad.

[grey_whiskers]

*snerk*. Back in the day, the doctoral degrees were either

PhD ("philosophiae doctor")

or

NRD ("not a REAL doctor")

;-)

[Thud]

Good find.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Coronavirus creeping undetected through Texas and U.S., researchers write (4/5/20)

PING!

I’m amazed at the number of overweight nurses.

Of all people, who should be taking better care of themselves.

That nurse reminds me of (a plump) Tea Leone.....beautiful.

So young...so sad.

RIP to this front line angel.

[nascarnation]

Stress eating? That’s my guess.
Plus if they have a family it’s tough to do nursing, family, and still have the time/energy to cook healthy meals and exercise.

[SlipperySlope99]

I was amazed at one time, but I’ve seen so many overweight nurses in my life I’m used to it and expect it. What still gets me is when I see a fat nutritionist.

[Jane Long]

LOL...that donkey meme/graphic is perfect.

May have to steal.

[DEPcom]

"credentials aren't a sufficient guarantee of correctness."

That is correct, but a name and his background would carry a lot of weight. Why should I believe an article without a name and background.

Who is libertymavenstock?

Since you do not know who he is from your reply, I did some research and found the writers real name. He name is Andrew Gaiziunas.

He has a twitter account: Andrew Gaiziunas @agaiziunas Aviator, innovator, and expert in curing malignant ‘status quo’ diseases. Co-founder at #turbadium, working for social equality by democratizing high finance.

His main business is Cyptocurrency.
I wonder what he means by "working for social equality by democratizing high finance" Could social equality be a red flag

In his tweet just an hour ago Link to his Tweet

"Absolutely. Full disclaimer, theory based on 80% anecdotal evidence, 10%/10% pre-print/peer-reviewed stuff we found in public domain. But every time we looked for a missing piece of the puzzle it came up exactly where we thought it should be."

Anedotal evidence define according to Dictionary.com: not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research.

My summary: the paper (aka posting under a fake name ) is not a reliable paper. The author confess in a full disclaimer it is anecdotal evidence. Other words nothing is proven in his paper/posting. He has not conducted any medical research, there is no other research references in paper/posting.

[Jane Long]

Lotta truth, to that.

he high-speed train whooshing past historic World War I battle zones and through the chateau-speckled Loire Valley carried a delicate cargo: 20 critically ill COVID-19 patients and the machines helping keep them alive.

The TGV-turned-mobile-intensive-care-unit is just one piece of France’s nationwide mobilization of trains, helicopters, jets and even a warship, deployed to relieve congested hospitals and shuffle hundreds of patients and hundreds more medical personnel in and out of coronavirus hotspots.
