How to write an email during a pandemic.
(Hint: lose the opener “I hope this finds you well.”)
“Don’t die. Love Brian. Sent From a Ventilator.”
This is unwelcome news, but it looks like some of the evolving science that could keep us safe: Two meters may not even approach the distance we should be keeping.

And for pity’s sake, stay away from the opera. And choir practice. And people who shout.
Up to 10,000 coronavirus conspiracy theorists who think pandemic is a HOAX – including David Icke – march on London.
I'd still like to know to what ends the alleged hoax was perpetrated?
Also, David Icke, ex-Hereford United player, is a well known nutjob who believes human lizards walk among us...
Quote
They are among us. Blood-drinking, flesh-eating, shape-shifting extraterrestrial reptilian humanoids with only one objective in their cold-blooded little heads: to enslave the human race. They are our leaders, our corporate executives, our beloved Oscar-winning actors and Grammy-winning singers, and they're responsible for the Holocaust, the Oklahoma City bombings and the 9/11 attacks ... at least according to former BBC sports reporter David Icke, who became the poster human for the theory in 1998 after publishing his first book, The Biggest Secret, which contained interviews with two Brits who claimed members of the royal family are nothing more than reptiles with crowns. (Picture Dracula meets Swamp Thing).
The conspiracy theorist and New Age philosopher, who wore only turquoise for a time and insisted on being called Son of God-Head, says these "Annunaki" (the reptiles) have controlled humankind since ancient times; they count among their number Queen Elizabeth, George W. Bush, Henry Kissinger, Bill and Hillary Clinton and Bob Hope. Encroaching on other conspiracy theorists' territory, Icke even claims that the lizards are behind secret societies like the Freemasons and the Illuminati. Since earning the dubious title of "paranoid of the decade" in the late 1990s, Icke has written several books on the topic, including his latest work, The David Icke Guide to the Global Conspiracy, while operating his own website — complete with merchandise and advertisements.
He's always been a nutcase...surprised he hasn't blamed extra terrestial beings for it. Unless they are Chinese/Russian ones of course.
From Dictionary.com:
“We’re halfway into 2020, and the coronavirus pandemic continues to expand our vocabularies.
It feels like years (not months) ago that we learned our first COVID-19 terms, like social distancing and flatten the curve. We had to process so much, in so little time; we had to become experts about important differences: epidemic vs. pandemic, quarantine vs. isolation, and respirator vs. ventilators. The conversation continues with contagious vs. infectious and what antibodies do. Here we are, in the summer of our sequestration, and the new words and concepts keep coming.
“New vocabulary has, to be sure, helped us stay safe and informed during these scary times. But in times of challenge, we need relief, too. And what better way than some wordplay to bring some welcome humor, and humility, to cope with COVID-19 and quarantines.
“Here’s our ongoing roundup of some of the new slang terms born of this unique, unprecedented time in modern life—a time of upheaval that some more jokingly call the coronapocalypse(corona apocalypse) or coronageddon (corona armageddon).“
All of which brings us back to quarantinis, right?

Russia and China have already started vaccinating their people against the coronavirus, even though rigorous trials haven’t been done. Even in the US, strong pressure is being exerted on pharmaceutical companies to rush a vaccine before stage 3 trials are done.
Argentina possibly will be buying vaccine from one of these countries. When these vaccines become available, will you feel safe being vaccinated?
Nothing coming from or out of argentina is safe or trustworthy

Was the coronavarius/covid-19 genetically altered in a lab?
Watched this on Tucker Carlson this evening.Nothing coming from or out of argentina is safe or trustworthy
Actually, @Mckenna , I’m thinking of vaccines going INTO Argentina. Which, if any, countries should be trusted?

It would be easy to say that this woman - Dr. Li-Meng Yan - was planted by Fox News, but on the other hand, this is a long held theory that most western government don't appear to want to talk about publicly.
I can't discount this, but if she survives, some actual evidence to back it up would help everyone make up their minds.
Disturbing in the extreme if true.

Latin America is a testing lab for many pharmaceutical companies. I wouldn't trust a vaccine that first comes to Argentina and Mexico. COme one! Of all the human capital of the world, they pick the very best for the groundbreaking vaccine, duh?!
The Chines virologist has had her Twitter account suspended:
Dr. Yan and her colleagues appear affiliated with the Rule of Law Society, a group founded by Steve Bannon, the former advisor to President Donald Trump.

She has defected to the US, apparently.

About what I was thinking!!! Just hope Her life insurance is paid up!!!!!

In general , I would agree but this one comes from Astra Zeneca who have to play by the European rules as opposed to the LATAM rules.
The fact that they suspended the tests for a week due to an adverse reaction is a decent sign.
the lab where they are doing the work in Argentina is in Garin , about 15kms from where we live. It only opened at the start of the year . It is apparently the best laboratory of its type in the whole of the Americas.
Having said that , will i get vaccinated?
Not immediately.....

The Newsweek article rather thoroughly refuted this woman’s claims. But of course the original Carlson interview will remain out there, spreading a debunked Rule of Law Society associate‘s claim.
One reason people continue to be confused about facts vs “fake news” is that tv personalities, in search of the sensational, give air time to people like Dr Yan without researching the source, as you just did, Splinter .

Rice ... Not saying yes or no. just saying their are still a lot of unanswered questions, that no one wishes to answer.
Uk and USA companies will be a little more careful as how things develop...
Let’s hope!
