You are free to trust Dr..Oz's self serving walk back, just as you excuse and defend every bull shit verbal tell Trump spees. I judge him at his word.


There was no real walk back.

Oh, baloney.

He walked back finding it "appetizing," even if he didn't walk back the 2-3%. And he never explained what he did mean, because it still would have been unacceptable.

Well...

dont you have to compare the 3% - say its 3000 extra deaths - to the damage being done by keeping people from going outside from working, from LIVING?

Again - if Grandma is in the 3000....   its gonna be a NO.

But talk to the family who has had a suicide.  Some states have matched their number of suicides for this year vs 2019 - and it is just April.

Economic damage?  Good Lord.  Each week that goes by drives the (Chinese) screw deeper. 

Thankfully the economy was so strong - can you imagine if the virus had hit us in 2010?  At least China waited that long to have their little accident.

Your bit of unfounded anti-Chinese rhetoric is not unnoticed.

But also, since the first death seems to have been unrelated to anything from China, perhaps we sent the disease over to them!

And no, I don't have grandma involved, but I am still not in favor of what you think is a simple trade. Nor does the shut down account for all of the suicide increase, but we have issues that need to be addressed about far more than just this disease.

You are quick to point out the suicide, but slow to accept the role this administration has paid in both failing to tackle things fast enough and in supporting folks and leaving them hanging too long.

Ultraviolet light can harm cells, which is why more sunlight over the summer could presumably help slow the spread of the coronavirus. But it harms human cells as well, meaning the intentional use of man-made ultraviolet light is not considered a serious option for treating the coronavirus.

But a certain type of it could be used, according to one Columbia University researcher, in public buildings to kill the virus before it infects people in the first place. David Brenner, the director of Columbia's Center for Radiological Research said in a story released on the university's website that "far-UVC," a kind of ultraviolet light that is not harmful to humans, could be used to kill "airborne viruses minutes after they've been breathed, coughed or sneezed into the air."

"Far-UVC light has the potential to be a ‘game changer,’” Brenner said, according to the story. “It can be safely used in occupied public spaces, and it kills pathogens in the air before we can breathe them in."

Brenner said that he has used that type of light to eradicate other viruses before and is currently testing it on the novel coronavirus. He noted, however, that the light is not a treatment for sick people as Trump suggested, but instead a way to prevent people from getting sick in the first place.

"Far-UVC takes a fundamentally different tactic in the war against COVID-19,” he said. “Most approaches focus on fighting the virus once it has gotten into the body. Far-UVC is one of the very few approaches that has the potential to prevent the spread of viruses before they enter the body."

Yeah. So?

So I'm pathologically incapable of finding a widely reported news story on any of the hundreds of free news platforms on the Net,  and will now passive-aggressively troll you until you do all my work for me!

It's now impossible to read any developing news story and think,  this can't get any weirder.  That kind of assurance no longer exists in this world.  Could someone please escort this demented "president" to a padded room?

That PSA is outstanding.   Coronavirus Rhapsody.   I think I've seen Iribien do a musical,  also,  which is like Cats,  but with talking plants and an ecological message.

Hey, Hey!  Michigan’s Tsarina/Governor Gretchen Whitmer now says it is okay to fish, boat, pay a landscaper to trim your bushes, visit your lake cottage, and take back some of your life.
Amazing how protests can raise awareness to the heavy hand of totalitarian rulers. Also helped she got her hand caught in the cookie jar doling out goodies to democrat buddies to spy on Michiganderers.

LOL!

Snorting bleach can give you serious hallucinations. You can drive off the voices by shoving a large UV light bulb straight up your flabby keister, Red. The saddest trump said so at his presser yesterday. It must be true.

Here’s what is actually happing in Michigan, for those not actively misinforming themselves
