I’ve met you. I was the dude on the other side of the glory hole.

I meant a leather face mask to protect him against COVID19!!

What did you think I meant?!?

Oh, you mean one of these? It's backordered. Won't get it for another couple of weeks. So in the meantime, the one I already had will have to do.

Good morning morons.

Your favourite Jewish doctor has caught the attention of federal prosecutors through his lies..

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/01/us/coronavirus-doctor-zelenko-malaria-drug.html

WASHINGTON — A federal prosecutor has opened a preliminary inquiry into whether an obscure New York doctor who won White House attention by claiming he could treat the coronavirus broke the law by falsely claiming that a hospital study of drugs he had promoted had won federal approval.

The doctor, Vladimir Zelenko, wrongly claimed that the Food and Drug Administration had backed a study of a drug cocktail that he asserts is effective in treating Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus

No. Fake news. Other prominent figures were also posting similar information (Rudy Guliani) and they had their accounts blocked on twitter for spreading misinformation

So, because you do NOT politically agree with them it's fake news?

We are fucked lol

Bench

Link to your claims about the Doctor in New York?

(A friend of mine posted this and it’s so very true and on point)

For the people crying for the country to remain shut down, answer these questions:

1) How many children should starve in order to make you feel safe?
2) How many families must go bankrupt in order to make you feel safe?
3) How many wives and children must be stuck at home with an abusive husband/father in order to make you feel safe?
4) How many business owners should lose everything they've worked for in order to make you feel safe?
5) How many people are you comfortable with committing suicide from hopelessness and financial ruin in order to make you feel safe?

Come up with an actual number, don't just dismiss the questions. Come up with the number of people that you think should surrender their lives for YOUR feelings and YOUR safety.

Does it make you feel safer knowing that your unwarranted fear and panic are costing others their livelihoods and even their very lives?

Each time you whine and complain about keeping the country shut down, remember what it's costing OTHER people for you to sit in your house sucking at the teat of CNN, swallowing the panic narrative, and hoarding toilet paper.

Also, remember this - if the TV news had never told you to be afraid of this virus, you wouldn't have. You'd have never given it a thought, you'd have gone about your life as usual along with everyone else. You'd likely have never known there was a virus at all, that this was just another typical flu season. So, remember that all your fear and panic exists because you were TOLD to live in fear and panic.

Word to your mother.

A local nurse told me the hospitals she works at, two hospitals, are almost empty, most of the staff go home early almost every day, there is not much work to do at the moment.

One wing of the hospital was converted into an area for COVID-19 patients, it is completely empty.

Also, many doctors and specialists practises are closed during this lockdown, so if you get sick, need surgery or have to see a specialist, it becomes a lot more difficult.

They would’ve been full had the country not gone into lockdown. That of course is bullshit but that’s what powers that be in your country are going to say.

NO we are all not SCREWED by China Kang Flu !.

I was in the supermarket at 7am , only 3  customers  & no shortages of anything, piles of toilet paoer on special.

Staff looks so bored !. So I used selfservice !.

Do masks work or not?

If they do work, then why did we need to ever stop going out - could have just all worn masks the whole time?

If they don't work, then why are we wearing them?

It’s crazy to think gov Cuomo calls people who don’t wear masks potential killers.

A patient diagnosed with pneumonia near Paris on 27 December actually had the coronavirus, his doctor has said.

The Virus was likely around in Jan/Feb in a lot of places. Itt just wasn't yet diagnosed.

The list of symptoms are non specific FFS...

Not everything is coronavirus  , they are common symptoms for many diseases.

As I have already said a few times on here, don't be surprised if by now 15 to 20% of the Western world have already had the virus. Some places will even be much higher.

I'll be sure to quote this for your benefit once the antibody data starts coming in.

Coronavirus antibodies found in 21% of New Yorkers in early testing

This is just the first wave, wait for the more lethal second wave.

Why is that crazy? What if someone has the virus, symptom free or not, and does not wear a mask in public, their every breath if laden with germs which linger in the air you breathe as you walk by them, giving you a gift you don't want. What if they touch their mouth or scratch their nose and then touched that carton of protein powder you just bought. When you picked it off the shelf, the virus got on your finger which you just picked your nose with and voila, you now have the virus. better hope your immune system is strong.

You are aware it is virtually impossible to catch it via the airborne route, you have to pick it up from something, unless someone spits in your mouth

There is a lot of reaching in your post, "what if this happens then this happens causing this to happen"

I don't think that is correct.

[joswift]

I don't think that is correct.

stop thinking and try and provide some evidence that its airborne then..the scientists cant decide, but on balance its less likely to be airborne or the situation would be far worse

[Primemuscle]

Your wife is a smart woman....smarter than you apparently know. Who should stay home? The jerk not wearing a mask in public or someone who happens to walk by them when they sneeze? My vote is for the asswipe who is too inconsiderate to wear a mask.

If this COVID-19 goes on killing people. It is going to be illegal to step out of your house without wearing a mask. Did you know you cannot get on a plane without a mask now? Soon, this will include all public transit. Some supermarkets already won't let you in the door unless you are wearing one.

But hey, don't worry about it, you can always send your wife out for stuff. Tough shit if she gets sick. Right?
