Shit! Coronavirus may also be transmitted via infected feces

[matsuki]

Your Swiss overlords very likely didn't decide doing business in Switzerland because of the outrageous price levels for everything, or the high salaries or, Satan forbid, patriotism; they must have other good reasons to do it there e.g. low tax levels for corporations and the fact that trade unions in Switzerland are toothless tigers at best, so emplyers have basically free reign over hire and fire. and other goodies that are rare in Europe.

They didn't move there, started 63 years ago in Schaffhausen.....but the current owner basically wrote the Swiss tax codes so if you're looking for conspiracy

Typical BBC left-leaning bias

If the Chinese government is able to track discussions among doctors in a private chatroom, it is more than capable of tracking what happens in wet markets. It is unfortunately a matter of priorities.

Shit! Coronavirus may also be transmitted via infected feces

Speaking of shit...
Japan copied the shit out the wisdom of our glorious homeland of Soviet Union in giving the BCG vaccine regularly throughout life of its people.

Now Niigata University has a project to develop COVID-19 countermeasure from a recombinant/modified BCG vaccine.

Niigata University to develop COVID-19 vaccine using recombinant BCG technology
univ-journal.jp | Vaccine National Institute of Infectious Diseases Japan Medical Research and Development Agency New Coronavirus | The University of Tokyo Niigata University {Google Translate}
On June 15, 2020, Niigata University announced the implementation of "COVID-19 Vaccine Development" with a subsidiary project of the Japan Medical Research and Development Organization. Professor Sokichi Matsumoto, Department of Bacteriology, Graduate School of Medicine and Dentistry, Niigata University, will conduct research toward the development of COVID-19 vaccine using recombinant BCG technology.
　The BCG vaccine, which has been inoculated to more than 4 billion people so far, is a live vaccine with attenuated Mycobacterium bovis and has a low manufacturing cost and high safety. It is effective not only for tuberculosis but also for other intractable diseases, and has the function of activating immunity for a long period of time.
It has been pointed out that the incidence and mortality of BCG vaccinated countries tend to be low in new-type coronavirus infectious diseases, and although a scientific causal relationship has not been proved, BCG is also recognized in new-type coronavirus infectious diseases. May be valid.
　In this study, we applied the recombinant BCG (rBCG) technology of Niigata University to continuously express the antigenic protein of the novel coronavirus infectious disease virus "SARS-CoV-2" in the body after inoculation, "rBCG- Aiming to develop the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. In addition to Niigata University, the University of Tokyo, National Institute of Infectious Diseases and Nippon BCG Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will collaborate.
Reference: [Niigata University] "COVID-19 Vaccine Development" will be implemented with the assistance of the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED).

So, there was this Palm Beach county commission meeting a couple of days ago where the county passed a mandatory face mask ordinance for public spaces. Here is just one of the nutters that showed up (I encourage you all to find more of them on YT; big laugh).

[Wage Slave]

I saw that. It is really strange, but I cannot help but feel pity for the United States at the moment. It is unheard of to be looking at the US in that way, but there we are. That is what Trump and his base have wrought. And the UK is more or less following down the same road - Maybe about 4 years behind.

[Grumpy Gramps]

I think, this started way earlier than Trump.

I remember, when I worked in a scientific setup and if we were to make business with the US (we had branch offices there), we'd better not talk about climate change, as Reagan didn't want to hear anything about it. We could still do our work behind closed doors and our US collegues did the same, but from a business point of view, we better not publish any of our findings.

Then came the "no child left behind" act of Baby Bush. Want a bachelor's degree? Get it for free (except money)! Level of education in the US went through the floor (with exceptions, luckily). Part of the result of this is obvious in the above video. Trump is just a catalyst/amplifier for so many of the things that went wrong in the US in the last ~30years or so and that turned the once "land of endless opportunities", which we all admired when we were young, into the waste land that's to better be avoided that it is now.

OTOH, the vacuum that the US has left, needs to be filled. I can see some places in the Eastern Hemisphere, which are ready to yank the Yanks and put themselves into the now vacant "World leader" position.

It all looked very different eh? This was 1992

And then people still believed in American Exceptionalism and the Shining City on the Hill as recently as 2016. Perhaps they were kidding themselves and we sort of knew that even if they didn't, but the decline in the last 4 years has been precipitous.

[Mike Oxlong]

It's been pretty worrisome since the market crash of 2007. Sure the markets were great up until recently with SARS 2.0, but for many Americans things were never the same after the too big to fail bail-out wiped so many out.

Not on YouTube, but the story is fun:
Starbucks barista gets $65K in tips after mask encounter with San Diego "Karen"

In short: "Karen" goes to Starbucks, berates the barista, who just does his job by asking her to please wear a mask. Karen puts it all on Facebook. Some kind soul starts a GoFudMe campaign to give that barista a tip, makes more than 65k$ in a short time. Now Karen wants to sue them in order to get some of that money

[Mike Oxlong]

Is calling her a "Karen" racist and/or sexist? Enquiring minds...

[Wage Slave]

Or possibly ageist?

She's an entitled bitch to go after his money like that.

We have nutters on both sides of the political spectrum doing shit like refusing to wear masks and attending mass gatherings. On the bright side, if the vaccines don't show up soon, things might get a bit less "extreme" when these people are dead or simply wrecked by the rona. Lots of studies showing it really fucks you up, even in asymptomatic cases.

If you watched that vid I posted in the other thread, the guest had an interesting take on the virus leaking from a lab. Nothing conclusive but he made a good argument that is seemed to be evolved in the same way they do in labs for lab testing and that it made the jump to humans and was seemingly human transmission capable right at the start, both not impossible but very unlikely to happen in nature. Would also make it more likely for the CCP to cover it up as it would be another demonstration of their incompetence but not sure it matters in the long run as the real CCP fuck up was the cover up while locking down Wuhan from the rest of China yet letting people spread the bug far and wide...

Just found out this morning my younger brother's gf (USPS mail carrier - maybe high risk)? tested positive, he came down with symptoms, and that leaves my mother as exposed for a few hours he spent with her before the symptoms showed. Shit just got real for me.

[Wage Slave]

Sorry to hear that and I hope she is OK. You must be very worried.

[Grumpy Gramps]

This shows, how important social distancing is, even if you don't feel symptoms. All the best to your loved ones, Matsuki.

[matsuki]

LIL bro and GF seem to have been able to fight it off without getting the coughs. Mostly just crazy high fever, headaches, and sore throats. I don't want to sound accusatory so I didn't press him on it but I know they like to go out to bars so if she didn't get it from work, my guess is they picked it up at a bar...during the short period while they were open. (closed again now) Anyhow, they're both almost recovered without any meds or hospitalization. (mid 30's) My mother, on the other hand, has a slightly compromised immune system so I'm very concerned. Trying to push her to take Vitamin D supplements. She has no symptoms or anything so far but until 2 weeks pass, I'm going to be worried.

"Karen" is often used for a white woman calling the cops on a black person for frivolous reasons, knowing that it could have serious consequences (including death) for that black person.

So, the real racist here is the Karen, not the person labeling her a Karen.

Even if vaccines show up, those nutters will refuse them, anti-vaxxers as they are.

The strange thing with this virus is that it hardly evolves. This indicates that it has been around for quite some while. Usually, viruses that hardly evolve are encountered near the end of a pandemic, not at the start. This could mean that it had a human pool in which it could evolve for some time. Alternatively, it could mean that it was created in a lab.

Definitely a few possibilities but none of them seem to match the current narratives we're being fed.

Competition is fierce. Whoever gets enough of that good stuff first, is going to make shitloads³ of money. No wonder, competitors are fighting with the gloves off. And IP spoofing to make it look like coming from anywhere, just not where you are, is not a problem. But it could still be China being honest
