“In scenes reminiscent of dystopian novels or films, Turkey’s panic-stricken citizens flocked to stores to stockpile food after authorities imposed a two-day curfew in 31 provinces.”

“LOL. Show me the posts I made that lead you to conclude what you have. Not speculation, posts.”

Every time you post with the emphasis on how this affects predominantly the old or those with underlying conditions you are parroting the FluBro mantra. Even though it has been demonstrated that many other contagious diseases operate exactly the same way. This has been pointed out to you and on these threads, with sources, more than once. Yet you are trying to still make out like this is an old people disease and they are not worth saving. Anybody that cares can read through your trash and find any number of posts. Or they can go back to March or February and read it when you started making them.

“”Feel good stories” show the American spirit is working to adopt, improvise and overcome COVID-19. Lots of great Americans out there.”

I have no problem with people doing good. I have a problem with you using those stories to hide behind.

You simply aren’t worth any more of my time.

Have a great day!

Peripheral nerves are an extension of the spinal cord. There is some suspicion at least that the brain may become infected. The last I recall, and it was also about the time as the first ‘tingling’ articles, was a proposal that it was via the olfactory nerve/receptors. It was something seen in SARs-1.

I think this was one of the earliest articles:

There was a stock market guru on Cavuto was it yesterday? Who said that he suffered ‘viral meningitis’ as part of his CCPVirus infection.

[firebrand]

Gee, I thought they started somewhere else. (Just joking)

Agnes, you OK with the tornadoes?

Will check out the article.

That’s all people have to hear.

Some minor factual errors regarding the differences between colds, flu and CV.

“Are we immune if we caught it once and have the antibidies?”

Didn’t seem to work out too well for Wuhan if the claim that a strain (A) was roaming freely as far back as last summer.

If a significant mutation occurs in the part of the virus the immune system identifies, the new virus will not be recognized. If it is in some peripheral part of the virus the immune system doesn’t look at, immunity should transfer. Then there is a spectrum of partial immunity where maybe the virus just changes a little and the immune system still recognizes it somewhat.

Yep. China also had to cull most of their swine because of swine fever. China also slaughtered most of their chickens too because of avian influenza. Add in the effects of the solar minimum and history will repeat famine there.

There is a strategic reason the CPP and PLA are rebuilding the Silk Road. This isn't their first time of famine induced dynasty collapse. I expect them to become even more dangerous and reckless.

Found a local farmer who will fill my freezer. Seven miles away. I'm getting as many as I can to buy local.

Telecommuting is great. I've done it in various forms since 1983 when a VT100 and rubber cup 103 modem was sufficient. There is a real down side when a contract has team members in Australia, the US and Europe. Since you are working from home, you're always at work. There is no respect for time zones. The 3 continent contract had me up a 6AM and working until 1 AM on a frequent basis.

My present day contract leverages Skype for meetings. The status indicator allows me to set "Be right back" for a coffee or bio break. I'll set Away with Dinner @ 1630 MDT to give the team members a clue that I'm not going to be at my desk for a bit. That said, most mornings start at the keyboard at 7:20 AM (after picking my wife up at 7 AM from her 9 PM to 7 AM shift). The lockdown means I break to cook and eat dinner at 1630 MDT. I drop my wife at work at 8:45 PM (driving restriction due to recent seizures) and work until midnight. The alarm goes off at 6 AM and the next round begins.

Aside from the convenience of going to dinner and doing ad hoc shopping afterward, the quarantine has hardly affected the "normal" routine around the house. Project deadlines are being met at work for me. My wife has a normal shift at work.

But did it affect how the body reacts to CV?

Got dependents?

You may have to file for your virus money.

Thanks for the post. Typical twitter. I follow and don't receive his posts.

I estimated the original lockdown should have occurred February 23rd with aggressive contact tracing. Our statewide health departments were not up to the tasks they were paid for.

Some states have done a remarkable job whereas others would make Ethiopia blush.

For all the bros who think there was earlier and widespread infection, they fail to provide any evidence except for some type of testimonial. This is hard data. BTTT.

“China lied. People died.”

What does Gates, Fauci and Birx know and when did they know it?

President Trump just re-tweeted a post that contains the hashtag #FireFauci.
