In my experience Police has been mostly understanding when I've talked to them. I would expect them to be a bit lax considering your situation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 8 Apr 2020 Today my husband mused from his repose on the sofa, cell phone in hand, 'did you know that some people have died who had no symptoms of COVID-19 but were found to have the anti-body in their body?' In this article from March 13,2020 it mentions more symptoms experiened by people with COVID-19 and the fact that it can infect the brain and in this way cause respiratory failure. People who recover from COVID-19 can also have irreversable lung damage. Autopsies of victims in China suggest COVID-19 works like a combination of SARS and AIDS. Yikes. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/chance-coronavirus-could-infect-your-brain/news-story/c870059fe7168a8d833bdef647254ab9 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 8 Apr 2020 4 hours ago, jeremytwo said: Hilarious how Fauci is so anti-hydrochloroquine, when oh dear, in 2013 he recommended it: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/04/18/scientists-develop-possible-treatment-for-new-sars-like-virus/2091443/ That article did not have Fauci recommending any such thing. Actually, hydroxychloroquine is not mentioned in your article and the screen shot of the journal article you cite is about SAR-COV not SARS-COV-2 or COVID-19. Furthermore, Fauci was additionally not an author on that study. Unfuck yourself. You cannot go through life that ignorant. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 8 Apr 2020 Here's a nice story about how effective testing can be: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/08/vetinary-scientist-hailed-faroe-islands-lack-covid-19-deaths You know... testing. Gathering actual facts. Not believing any old crap you read on the internet because it somehow satisfies whatever weird fantasies you have about the world. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 8 Apr 2020 542 deaths in Italy today. Although it is slowing, it is not a fast drop. At this rate it will take almost 2 more weeks to return to decent numbers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 8 Apr 2020 We are looking forward to being really decadent again. You know- go to that nice Italian place on the seafront and have a meal. And watch the waves. It seems like a lifetime ago. It isn’t, of course , but it does remind us about what we take for granted. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
