I enjoy smoking. I don't particularly enjoy the idea of injecting a Chinese/Russian/US collaboration approved by Bill Gates and the CDC into my veins.

I know exactly what I'm inhaling.




lol - you know what you're inhaling? No you don't and you wouldn't care if you did. But I don't blame you if you won't take anything with Trump's ok or name on it. His water would probably kill you.

You got me on the bad habit though - my worst habit is I reply to your stupid sh*t.

If you really think that Russia and the USA are collaborating on anything then you need to dial back your conspiracy theories by... a whole lot.

I thought it was pretty ludicrous of you to post that ALL of the world governments were "colluding" to create a Covid hoax, but I let it go because it's possible to think that most governments - while not colluding - might have the same interest in an authoritarian response, leading to similar behaviors even if not cooperating directly.

But at this point, SIX, you're sounding as nutty as Pirate News with his Templar-Jewish-Communist-BritishRoyal-Nazi-Mason-whathaveyou conspiracy, where he lumps them all together even tho they had competing interests.

Come in from the dark side, SIX, and into the light of day!

I heard that there were 7 deaths among all of the United States Armed Forces.

That would seem an interesting subset to look at.

400k people in 10 days vs. 100 days of Portland.
Portland rioters were known to be 1,000 per night, and they seemed to roam around to Seattle, Kenosha, wherever, and so they likely rotated through the crowds. Can't be surprised if they had 40k different individual participant rioters. That really seems like a superspreader event tome, more so than a 10 day party in the hinterlands.

And the population of Portland is almost 600k all on it's own.

Maybe you could dig thru the internet and come up with more solid numbers, and pursue this on your own.

But even if there were 40k professional and dedicated amateur rioters 'roaming' through the US - and I seriously doubt it's even 1k - your assumed 40k is still only a tenth of Sturgis.

And you have to remember this about Sturgis, people make a point of coming from all over the country to get together there and mingle in the same place and at the same time ... and then going back home.

Signy, if you have good info on the Russian vaccine I'd appreciate it. I've truly not been following it because I assume pretty much all the news is fake and geared toward proving "Russia = bad" no matter what the facts are.

of note for Signy and me


The coronavirus may have reached Los Angeles even before China announced its outbreak

Researchers from UCLA and their colleagues at the University of Washington documented an unmistakable uptick in patients seeking treatment for coughs. The increase began the week of Dec. 22, 2019, and persisted through the end of February.

The researchers didn’t conduct any diagnostic tests, so they can’t say with certainty when doctors first encountered anyone infected with the virus that came to be known as SARS-CoV-2. But if the coronavirus had indeed been spreading under the radar since around Christmas, the pattern of patient visits to UCLA facilities would have looked a lot like what actually happened, they wrote in a study published Thursday in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.

Who knows...

Maybe one day it might kill you.

Why is that?

So what that Trump and Putin seem to get along fine. There's nothing wrong with the US and Russia getting along. Especially when China is a much greater threat that our legacy media just finds it impossible to say anything negative about.

Overpopulation is the world's biggest problem today, which is also something that nobody ever wants to talk about either. It is also a problem that effects every single person on the planet, no matter their race, sex, nationality, religion or the political makeup of their country.

Trust me, there are people with a lot of money and power that talk about it every day. And there is zero doubt that controlling said population is one of the most important agendas on all of their dockets.

So, I have a lot of info about SARS-CoV-2 and I thought I'd recap it here, starting with 'origins'.

After a brief flurry of speculation and some rather (apparently) hurried analysis pinning the virus on bats with it then passaging through pangolins - with some sideways discussions about laboratory origins - the whole topic died down into a mumble of maybes that seem to have faded away.

As far as I can tell, there is STILL no definitive answer! but this paper does a pretty good takedown of early results.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/cla.12425

It faults most of the research for looking at very few samples from a very limited number of sources (47 human, 2 bat, 1 pangolin). For example, only 1 sample of SARS-CoV-2 was isolated from a sick and captive pangolin at the Wuhan market - and there was no indication whether the humans got sick from the pangolin, or the other way around!

It faults research that looks for overall similarity between viruses, when that similarity may be due to an extremely stable 'template' that's survived a lot of evolutionary pressure over a long time and many species.

And it faults research that focuses on the ACE-2 receptor, which is medically important, but ignores what might be vital differences that are NOT part of that binding function.

There are other points it makes very clearly and cogently.


This paper, while more limited, makes some of the same points: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/jmv.26261
