Coronavirus

Are you purposely being obstinate or is this just something you do to amuse yourself? I'm not trying to provoke you, but as I read thru all these remarks I get a completely different vibe than you do. Please don't ask me to prove or disprove of any of treatments, trials, should be trials because I am totally confused about this whole coronavirus business. The only thing I know for sure is that we've been locked up in the house since March and only get out for doctor's appointments.

Maybe your reading too much into engineers posts. You're responding to "It's beautiful day" with "What was wrong with yesterday, are you saying it wasn't beautiful" or the classic "You look great in that color" with "So, you're saying I usually look awful?"

I don't want to get involved in any of this 'zinc, vitamin, Fauci stuff you and others are arguing about, frankly I don't have any answers. I can only hope that the doctors and scientists working on this program know what they are doing. Just my viewpoint.......

What I find intriguing in Glenn’s insistence that he is not a Trump supporter coupled with a devotion to his most disprovable comment.

Especially when there are treatments-drugs that have been successful.

Exactly. Why are we trying to make something work that no-one -even its supporters - can explain how it works or why it was even looked at to begin with? All this effort to force it useless implementation could be used on other more plausible solutions.

I wonder what is a "Strenuous flu"?? (strenuous flue?)
Is it a chimney that i imposible to clean?

Remember Trump was on the air, its wasnt TWEETERY

Strenuous flu is the type of flu you have to have to get three days off from work.

Strenuous Covid19 is when you flat-line while on a ventilator.

Interesting fact: Trump can pronounce "strenuous" on coke but not on Ritalin.

Science Magazine editorial

Russia had approved "Sputnik V" as the first corona vaccine in the world for broad application in an urgent procedure, although the product has hardly been tested in clinical trials so far. Putin made a publicity statement that his daughter had been injected with the vaccine and that she had tolerated it well. The announcement was apparently intended to boost confidence in the vaccine. Who would let his own daughter take a drug if it was not absolutely safe?

Renowned researchers from several countries are questioning the authenticity of the data presented by their Russian colleagues in the "Lancet" journal at the beginning of September as proof of the effectiveness of the vaccine. They suspect clumsy manipulation. Did the scientists responsible for the vaccine come up with their results, or did they make them up in Photoshop?

The abnormalities already start with the second picture of the study, criticise researchers around the well-known molecular biologist Enrico Bucci. The areas in question are colourfully encircled. They show a striking pattern of numbers in the data sets. Several test persons had exactly the same antibody level in their blood on different days. The value of the T-cells, which are supposed to fight the corona virus, is also identical. The test persons had been given different forms of the vaccine.

The data looked as if they had been edited with Photoshop, argues Andrea Cossarizza, immunologist at the Italian University of Modena. The figures are too similar, and from a statistical point of view the results are unlikely. Together with other researchers, an open letter was sent to "Lancet" demanding that the raw data be published.

Such a "Note of Concern" is exactly the way scientists go when there is justified criticism of a study from their point of view. Normally, this is only of interest to a small group of experts at best, but the world is waiting for the vaccine in which the study will be conducted.

Cattivi Scienziati (fighting bad and pseudo-science): Note of concern

Face masks could be giving people Covid-19 immunity,
researchers suggest

The commentary, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, advances the unproven
but promising theory that universal face mask wearing might be helping to reduce the severity
of the virus and ensuring that a greater proportion of new infections are asymptomatic.

If this hypothesis is borne out, the academics argue, then universal mask-wearing could become
a form of variolation (inoculation) that would generate immunity and “thereby slow the spread
of the virus in the United States and elsewhere” as the world awaits a vaccine...

It has happened.

I see the ghostly spirit is rising upward, where it's said by some, that Heaven is located.
That will undoubtedly make Goldman insanely happy as he can tell everybody that the dead guy was "SAVED".

(unless it turns out that Heaven is located downhill and it's the hellishly hot place above where Hell is that is up above...which would make sense, seeing as how that's nearer to the sun)

In other news, the numbers are on the increase again. The fatalities should be stacking up by election day.


In even more news, it's now being said that people who have Alzheimer's disease are perishing at a much higher rate than normal. Even those who are not Covid-19 infected. The lack of social interaction is destroying what little they have left.

He’s got one of his threads shut down, and I’ve not heard hide nor hair of him since.

I think one of his last posts was about how he got persecuted on other forums.

Persecuted? How in Heaven's name is that possible? He has been a devoted Christian and SAVED for lord only knows how long. Plus Jimmy Swaggart done did give him a televised blessing...followed by a standard letter asking for money.

Uh oh, I've just blasphemed! Better make sure my clothes are Christian ....

...nope. They're a blend.

I think he confuses persecution with disagreement.

Sadly a lot of people do.

No I don't. Now, tell me that wasn't aimed at me.
