I stopped posting info when I knew it was being ignored multiple times. Then I just made it a point not to point not to.

Litesong didn't even manage to kill it, just sayin' (and I'm not saying anyone here is as nasty as "it".)

Nobody is obligated to look at evidence presented or agree, as frustrating as that is. The block button exists to free up time that would otherwise be wasted. I've never used it, as evidenced by the extraordinary amounts of wasted time.

Does it really have to be any one poster, when G**gl* is lurking in the background?

I'm noticing a trend of less deaths being reported every Sunday, like significantly less.

I would volunteer for that. We're shut down for at least the rest of the month, and my job involves a lot of contact with older folks. Might as well have it, get it over with, and reduce the likelihood of passing it on unknowingly when things open back up.

As it stands, I don't know if I've had it or not (my partner had all the symptoms but tested negative in March, but I've recently been reading that the tests could have as high as 30% false-negative rate). I've had a couple bouts of sore throat/stuffy nose in the last month so I'm hoping it was My Corona and not just allergies or something.

redneck — Thanks for that.

African Countries begin importing Madagascar's COVID-19 Cure

A prophylactic/cure coming from Madagascar would be sorta out of left field. It can't be any worse than fresh, warm camel byproduct.

The tests used even 6 weeks ago sucked.
My wife said they would have people who were sick test negative, they would get worse, be sent to Lubbock and then they would test positive.
Texas and new mexico are sending their tests to different labs

Oh yeah. Being bald during a lockdown has an advantage. I don't need to worry about going to the barber. hahahaha

Not having had a haircut since 1989 during a lockdown has an advantage. As well.

False negatives were part of the plandemic. I think the Chinese are generally reasonable people (see Hong Kong and Taiwan)*, but the CCP has gone off the rails with the whole communism thing.

*Counterpoint would be the Black Death in 1347. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death
Quote:
The Black Death most likely originated in Central Asia or East Asia,[11][12][13][14][15] from where it travelled along the Silk Road, reaching Crimea by 1347....

The Black Death was the second disaster affecting Europe during the Late Middle Ages (the first one being the Great Famine[16]) and is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population.[17] In total, the plague may have reduced the world population from an estimated 475 million to 350–375 million in the 14th century.[18] There were further outbreaks throughout the Late Middle Ages, and in Western Europe the resulting shortages of labour enabled peasants to increase their wages. Outbreaks of the plague recurred at various locations around the world until the early 20th century.
That last line explains the coming Golden Age, although the mechanism will differ in the age of AI.
