yep
Fauxcy should go get on Biden’s transition team.
Well on our way to herd immunity...open the country up.

Yes, or hanging by the fingernails.
“We’re pulling guesses out our ass but it’s all good because we be sciencians!”
UV from the sun. It ends the flu season as the sun is more direct, and the atmosphere doesn’t block the UV as effectively. UV is very effective at killing viruses. The flu season starts when solar radiation is not as strong in the fall. Going outside in the sunlight kills the virus on our skin and clothing. Not as much transmission.
Correct!!!! No MEDIA coverage of the disparity.
May have been here since Novemberish, some are saying.
With all the Chinese cargo ships in ports and Chinese enclaves in CA...
The significance of this study cannot be overstated.
Zero basis for lockdown.

I sort of am getting the same feeling watching that sick little drama queen moaning and lamenting every day.
Cuomo is a mouthy ass and an embarrassment to Italians..
RIGHT
.
Oooh, now hearing it was in Wuhan in September (this has a thread):

Whatever the reality, no doubt media overhyped. I would guess ratings have gone through the roof. Folks at home and now hooked on fear porn.____________
You draw a very possible picture.
[[do people really think Cuomo wants to prevent deaths?...he does not....]]
He’s done everything in his power to ensure more deaths- by denying people the right to get a very safe and effective drug without being hospitalized and on a ventilator when it’s too late to fix the issue- He has either done this on purpose, or he simply has no clue and shouldn’t be governor if that is the case- either way he should not be gov- 1000’s have died needlessly in his state- all because President Trump touted HCQ, and cuomo can’t stand to use something that Trump touted- only reluctantly did he allow the very sickest to get it when it’s too late-
I am positive the wife and I had COVID in late Dec to Jan. We live in MD. Both of us had the exact symptoms and I wound up with bronchitis and she with pneumonia. We were sick for a month. Antibiotics did nothing, and it was not until the third visit to urgent care my wife got antiviral medicine that started to improve.
My possible brush with the Corona crud this past winter. I live about 60 air miles from where this study was done:
81 year old male in fairly good health. Immunizations and other problems:
INFs Pres Free High Dose (FLUZONE) (influenza)
Administered 9/26/2019
ZOS (Herpes zoster recombinant) Shingrix
Administered 10/4/2019, and then I had a mild fever my arm ached like a mule kicked it for About 4 days.
After the above, I felt great and had increased my mile walk to twice a day.
NOV/27/2019:
Two days before Thanksgiving, after I woke up and got out of bed, I had blood in my urine and a swollen rt. testicle and 100 degree temp. I felt like that mule kicked me over my right kidney. I had felt good the day before and did about an hour of PT with a physical therapist and my walks.
The next day I had the fever, blood in my urine and the ache described above.
When that happens to an 81 year old male, the Clinics immediately bring you in.
I saw a doctor very quickly at our local big clinic that afternoon.
She prescribed a week’s therapy of Levaquin*, an oral fluoroquinolone, which I got at the pharmacy, shortly after seeing the doctor. I took my first dose in our car while my wife drove us home. They also, got a urine sample from me, before I left the building. There was no infection just red blood in my urine. That went away after about 24 hours on the meds.
Then, the various tests for a kidney problem showed nothing.
From that onset to about the middle of March, I had all the symptoms reported by other freepers:
Low energy, lack of taste, headache, chills and lower GI problems. Very cold feet and hands, which I never have.
During our family Christmas dinner and
Exchange of presents, I probably passed my crud on to one of our adult sons, who had The crud until about 3 weeks ago. He missed more work in a couple of months with the crud.
Our grandson apparently got the crud and didn’t feel good for a few days.
Both of these guys are basically never sick.
None of our women folk got the crud. Ages 20-80
As noted in previous posts, several male friends, who had zero contact with me in Nov/Dec/Jan..
Had similar symptons. One friend labeled it the AT&T/Comcast flu as we had zero physical interactions before the crud besides phone calls and texting.
This Stanford study may explain what was happening to us.
*Levaquin, (levofloxacin) is in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. Other antibiotics in this class of drugs include ciprofloxacin (Cipro), norfloxacin, (Noroxin), ofloxacin (Floxin), trovafloxacin (Trovan), lomefloxacin (Maxaquin), gatifloxacin (Tequin), and moxifloxacin (Avelox).
“So, a lot of people tested for antibodies with a non-validated test came up positive. It looks to me like they’re detecting people who have had ordinary coronavirus infections—in other words, it’s detecting people who had colds.”
So you know more about the scientists’ study (see link below) than they do, and they’re wrong and you’re right. Sure.

Not everything.
A lot of the coverage requires you to believe that this virus behaves in a completely different way than any other virus that’s ever existed.
There’s simply no rational basis to believe that. Even if it’s a worst-case scenario and engineered it’s still a virus. It can’t behave like a completely different animal.
