BigStewMan Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 i just realized that i haven’t been to a gas station in over three months ... same with a restaurant. I may set a record for the longest time without visiting a fast food joint, although eating canned chili and microwave rice and potatoes, my diet isn’t any healthier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Besides China has plenty I guess. Got a can finally of the Wolfs chili with beans, may have to try it soon. See they had it without. They even have those rice microwave cookers nowadays. Simple dimple s. Stay healthy y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess social media didn't exist back in the 1700's. Well maybe the system will kill us instead. Let's watch who wins, the "right to workers" or the "lockdowners". If the workers win, the politics of the lockdown will kill a bunch needlessly. If the workers are wrong, the pandemic will explode in the next couple of weeks. As for the drugs, we are so divided that each wants to prove the other wrong no matter what the costs, including lives. It just doesn't matter. They gave an oath to science and threw it all away for an agenda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tube fanatic Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I’m very surprised that no one is investigating the use of interferons for treating the virus. They can be extremely useful and inexpensive (the latter probably being the reason why they are not being investigated!). I shouldn’t be surprised since the FDA and CDC exist to protect the financial interests of the pharmaceutical industry. https://cmr.asm.org/content/14/4/778 Maynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington and our govt ELECTED officials (maybe not all) are out to make money / donations. Thanks for the pointer. Send it to your congressman and Fauci but it doesn't fit the bill unfortunately.

Percentage of population infected. Michigan .005084 Ohio .002519 Indiana .004455 Texas .001798 we got a ways to go to catch you. Yes and Tennessee is way behind Indiana too. Those people up there must be doing something wrong. Went to Tractor Supply to get seeds (eat your heart out MI) and no one thought the dire and imminent life threatening media generated reasons o destroy the country with covid 1984 was real. No one I talked to knew anyone personally that had it once again. A side benefit to all this is that young people who are seeing their futures thrown away for nothing are now paying attention to those who want to shut down the USA and asking why.

Have you ever wondered what it was like just before WW1 and WW2? We have history books with varying degrees of accuracy but I have to think there was a general decline in stability in many areas that made it ripe to happen. Way before my time but I have had WW2 ration books before. You want to see something funny show a young person one of these and they have no idea what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
