OK. I must admit that I only “skimmed” that particular article. Yes, the MIT stuff is impressive quality. The fact that the flawed “negative-control-samples” were actually contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 antigen itself may be new information, however ? You tell me. The CDC has erred in ways unmistakably inept.

I posted about that article above in this thread a few hours ago. Truly disturbing information therein ! 
Can I put my respirator on now??? This thing is a serious monster.

This could be a reason to make sure the CDC gets proper funding?

I cant help it, if i see people passing on their opinion as fact it makes me want to say something unless their opinion matches my own opinion 100%.
the other day i watched a youtube video where the individual wanted to tell me “How to make an N95 mask at home”. N95 is a certification that means: it is designed for non military use (non oil particles), and it has a 100% chance it will block 95% of the airborn pathogens sized smaller than 0.3 microns. So it would be difficult to get a cloth mask to meet N95 standards, imagine the red tape.
Another youtuber gave his false opinions why some die and some don’t who get covid. My opinion is that most fatal cases get infected when they inhale multiple particles all at once, his opinion was different. that doctor may have seen the light I think he took his tube down.
Believe me i’m an alien

I’ve been hoping that there were aliens among us. If they’re intelligent enough to transport to this galaxy then they’re intelligent enough to help us fix the mess we made.Thank you for sharing…and could you hurry up please?

Doug, we just lost our longest tenured employee. Yves passed away this morning from, as my boss calls it, this stupid virus. He’s angry. I’m angry. Yves is survived by his wife and children.

Rather than participate in “wholesale bail-outs”, perhaps the Grays prefer to offer an “appendage-up” ?

I believe they do. In a way that blends in with us. In other words, dual participation. We’ll think we gave birth to a generation of extraordinary humans when actually we birthed some sort of full term para-human. Maybe a chimera? Idk, I’ve been meeting some extraordinary teens and 20 somethings that seem super evolved. Can’t see how we had anything to do with that, lol. Perhaps they are the Pinky-Grays?

The (said to be) genetically meaningful fraction of our (<= 30,00 genes) DNA (the “coding portion”) is only ~2% of our DNA. What purposes does the vast majority serve ? Perhaps some redundancies with an identifiable purpose - but could we be unknowingly hosting an ancient and vast analog computing array network accomplishing purposes unknown ? Like a stadium full of Chimpanzees quite randomly banging away upon standard-issue typewriters, slowly churning-out a stochastic miasma of evolutionary floobydust (?) - until, one day, yet another installment of “Ancient Aliens” emerges like a steaming vortex of ectoplasmic exudate, wowing the fertile imaginations of 10 year-olds (at heart) everywhere, while selling sophisticated consumer advertising, ranging from Chia Pets to Boner Pills on late-night cable.

(Seriously), we were evidently not the first here. Some beings do not bear the burdens of possessing (appreciable) mass - constituting only energy. Accounts seem as ancient as is our species. Likely, they are not dependent upon our fates, whatsoever. As well, they may not be highly interested - at least, to a point of interfering significantly. Likely, the best that we can hope is that they might take pity on us, and refrain from decimating our sand castles. Many get hung up on the idea of extra-terrestrials - imagining (or perhaps rejecting ideas about) the extraordinary amounts of exertion and time required to transport matter over vast distances. But they very likely precede us here, and need matter not. Humbling stuff. Rather than concentrate on imagined flying hunks of metal, think in terms of spirit-world (in general).

“Two died in Bay Area weeks before first reported U.S. fatality”
Tissue samples taken from two individuals who died in Santa Clara County, Calif., tested positive for the virus, local health officials said in a statement. One of the victims died on Feb. 6, and the other died on Feb. 17.
Initially, the nation’s earliest coronavirus fatality was believed to have occurred on Feb. 29, in Kirkland, Wash., a suburb of Seattle that rapidly became a hotspot. In March, health officials there linked two Feb. 26 deaths to covid-19, the disease caused by the virus. …
… Both of those deaths occurred while federal officials had tightly restricted tests to people with a known travel history and specific symptoms, authorities said. Tests on the victims could not be performed until the medical examiner performed autopsies.
These two fatalities, along with a third on March 6, also indicate that the coronavirus was likely spreading earlier and further in the San Francisco Bay area than previously thought. Santa Clara County’s first locally transmitted case of the virus was reported on Feb. 28, in 68-year old Azar Ahrabi, who later became the region’s first death in March. But test results for the two earlier deaths show that the coronavirus had in fact killed someone in the county, which includes the city of San Jose as well as Silicon Valley, more than a month before Ahrabi died.
The Bay area became an early hotspot for the virus at the beginning of March, when reported cases were in the double-digits and outbreaks were believed to be mostly concentrated on the West Coast. Earlier this year, a genetic analysis of virus samples found that the virus may have also spread undetected for weeks in Washington state, which reported the country’s first two deaths.

Title: “Coronavirus has mutated into at least 30 different strains new study finds -
The study was carried out by Professor Li Lanjuan and colleagues from Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China and published in a non-peer reviewed paper released on website medRxiv org”
A new study in China has found that the novel coronavirus has mutated into at least 30 different variations.The results showed that medical officials have vastly underestimated the overall ability of the virus to mutate, in findings that different strains have affected different parts of the world, leading to potential difficulties in finding an overall cure. …
… More than 30 different mutations were detected, of which 19 were previously undiscovered. “Sars-CoV-2 has acquired mutations capable of substantially changing its pathogenicity,” Li wrote in the paper. The team discovered that some of the mutations could lead to functional changes in the virus’ spike protein, the South China Morning Post reported. Spike protein is the protein that the coronavirus uses to attach itself to human cells.
Li’s team infected cells with COVID-19 strains carrying different mutations, of which the most aggressive strains were found to generate as much as 270 times as much viral load as the weakest strains. The aggressive strains also killed the human cells the fastest. The results indicated "that the true diversity of the viral strains is still largely underappreciated,” Li wrote. …
… Coronavirus has so far been treated in hospitals worldwide as one disease and patients receive the same treatment regardless of the strain. It has been suggested by the team at Zhejiang University that defining mutations in different regions may change the way we approach combating the virus. “Drug and vaccine development, while urgent, need to take the impact of these accumulating mutations into account to avoid potential pitfalls,” the scientists said.

The world is facing widespread famine “of biblical proportions” because of the coronavirus pandemic, the chief of the UN’s food relief agency has warned, with a short time to act before hundreds of millions starve. More than 30 countries in the developing world could experience widespread famine, and in 10 of those countries there are already more than 1 million people on the brink of starvation, said David Beasley, executive director of the World Food Programme. …
… “This is truly more than just a pandemic - it is creating a hunger pandemic,” said Beasley. “This is a humanitarian and food catastrophe.” … Even before the Covid-19 crisis, Beasley was appealing to donor countries to up food relief funding to the poorest, because conflict and natural disaster were putting severe strain on food systems. …
… But the Covid-19 pandemic, which no one could have foreseen, has “taken us to uncharted territory”, he said. “Now, my goodness, this is a perfect storm. We are looking at widespread famines of biblical proportions.” According to a report produced by the UN and other organisations on Thursday, at least 265 million people are being pushed to the brink of starvation by the Covid-19 crisis, double the number under threat before the pandemic.
None of those looming deaths from starvation are inevitable, said Beasley. “If we get money, and we keep the supply chains open, we can avoid famine,” he said. “We can stop this if we act now.”
And along with that “It Survives In The Eye” story from earlier today, they can justify making the lock down permanent!!! Whoopee!

Indeed, we need to return the previous laissez faire norm of a free market for pathogenic green-shoots !
Hooray! Actually, I have no idea what you’re talking about. But that’s OK, bloviate away!!
