Figured we would start numbering the threads.

Some points to keep in mind:

1. This thing is not “just the flu.” 2. 1/10th of the worlds population is in some sort of lockdown. 3. Generally, we don’t buy the Chinese numbers But if anything they are low. 4. Everyone is welcome to post, but don’t bore us with your “you are panicking” posts. They are tedious.

It’s Sunday night and the Walking Dead is back. Let’s talk Coronavirus.

They point out how exactly it was made for them by the US in those claims.

They know the exact details because they made it. Too bad it was an "own goal" on debut. Worse, that it spreads easily and will visit the entire globe before it burns out...if it burns out.

The Chinese of course forgot the part about them funding the work with a grant and all. Bought it. Gave it. Funded it. Took it. What difference does it make now.

Death from smoking takes decades, not a few weeks from initial contact.

And you cannot catch the death from smoking by casual contact, from someone who can't even tell they're spreading.

Keep strokin' those Pandas.

It will reduce your platelet count. They ask you if you have taken aspirin when you donate blood, as you may not be able to donate platelets.

The 1918 Flu (Spanish Flu) hit people the hardiest who where EXTREMELY healthy. That is why they conjecture that it was the immune system attacking the body.

Forgot (almost) to get back to this.

Yes, some of my best “stuff” (electronics, fishing gear, etc.) has come from yard sales.
