I think this is a trait shared by most (all?) viruses and bacteria. UV light in particular is very damaging to cells. Link to comment
FrantzHardySwag Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Thank god no one on this board has posted the Plandemic video. A buddy sent it to me and after crapping on it for 2 hours, I think he regretted sending it to me. No wonder Russia was able to so easily influence us via social media, people do no research on their own anymore. Link to comment

I think its better to operate under the assumption it isn't seasonal and have it be than the other way around Link to comment

Yeah not worth it for you at this point, it's been disproven thoroughly, unless you're an earth is flat guy - then you might really enjoy it. Link to comment

I predict we have the 2nd wave by the first week in June and it’s much worse. It’s no wonder so many people are morons about climate change. Trying to slow that down requires a lot of foresight. We can’t even wait a couple f#&%ing months with covid. I know people are suffering (we need a stronger government response) but it’s gonna get a whole hell of a lot worse if we continue on this path, and since our federal government leadership is absolute s#!t, we definitely will. I heard an interview recently that touched on John McCain's time in as a POW in Vietnam. He made it five and a half years suffering as a prisoner of war, in part because he cared about his fellow service members and didn't want preferential treatment that could've gotten him out of there before them. He was tortured and beaten on a near daily basis. We can't make it more than a couple months chilling at our own homes with all our amenities and venturing out into public with masks on. I get that there's a financial component to this for many people and I don't want to disparage them because I get that you've got to pay the bills, but this McCain analogy really creates a pretty jarring contrast to the folks up in arms about civil liberties being trampled right now. 1 Link to comment

I know you know this, but the thing about the financial component is that can realistically be remedied if the government chose to do so. We can get people through this time financially, but the government can't help much if you contract COVID 1 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I can't read the article, but I agree with the headline. To me, and I think it's probably what they are saying, is two fold: a) We started testing to late. b) If you look at tests per million population, we are 14th on the list according to Wordometer. .

Also you go outside more when the weather is nice. Viruses spread in enclosed petri dishes, especially cruise ships and subways. Link to comment
