Some Youtuber's comment transcription of the good part (most of the rest is the equally depressing but less interesting dozens of layers of beaurocratic red tape he needed to navigate:

quote:

I looked into the several places inside the ship and the turned out that the cruise ship was completely inadequate in terms of the infection control there was no distinction between the Green Zone which is the free of infection and the Red Zone which is potentially contaminated by virus.

So the people could come and go wearing a PPE of PPE crews were just walking around and the officers of ministry the health and the labor was walking around, DMAT people are walking around, psychiatrists are walking around, and people were eating in one place, people were wearing PPE and off PPE and eating lunch with their gloves on and just dealing with the smart phone with full PPE so it was completely chaotic and some crews had a fever they went to the medical center while wearing and N95 masks but he didn't have any protection between his room and a medical room and the medical officer was not protecting herself and that she was very happy saying that well she was already infected I'm sure about that, so the she was completely giving up protecting herself anyways

I dealt with a lots of infections more than twenty years and I was in Africa dealing with the Ebola outbreak, I was in another country is dealing with the cholera outbreak I was in China in 2003 to deal with the SARS, and I saw many febrile patient there. I never had fear of getting infection myself, for Ebola, SARS, cholera because I know how to protect myself and how to protect others and how the infection control should be.

So I could do the adequate infection control protect myself and protect others. but inside Princess Diamond I was so scared, I was so scared of getting COVID-19 because there was no way to tell where the virus is. No green zone no red zone everywhere could have Virus and everybody was not careful about it. There was no single professional infection control person inside the ship and that there was nobody in charge of infection prevention as a professional.

The bureaucrats were in charge of everything and I spoke with the head officer of the Ministry of Health on labor and he was very unhappy with my suggestion of protecting DMAT people and other staffs so that no other secondary transmission to occur then after several hours of talking to people and finding problems I found a lot of issues there for example informed consent of getting a PCR from the people in the ship was on a paper and that paper was going back and forth back and forth with the room of the infection from the paper by touching there.

That last part about paper informed consent forms being passed around is absolutely how the infection will spread across our workplaces. Some dumbfuck new company policy will be printed then breathed on and touched as every single person in your workplace is required to physically sign the thing.

Is the keto diet like brand new? People get "keto flu" which isn't a disease, just the body going into ketosis.

This is a common misconception. My entire family got the flu and we were healthy within five days. We were confirmed via the nose swab since we have an infant. He was vaccinated, my husband and I weren’t.

In fact, most cases of the flu are asymptomatic:

Building/using germ warfare seems kinda like setting fire to your neighbor's apartment.

On a strategic level it's totally idiotic because there's no sensible way to control anything that can reach enough people to matter. There are some really good tactical variants out there though. There's (supposedly) a modified strain of rabbit-pox targeted to humans that's aerosolized and you just cannon it over to the enemy lines. It only has a very limited lifespan but makes people who contract it poo poo themselves out for a week or two. Massive logistics strain. Again though it's ridiculously difficult to research and manufacture those compared to chemical weaponry, which is why the US dropped all overt research into the stuff in the late 60s.

e: Note though that this info all comes from ex-soviet scientists and none of it has ever been verified so it's basically just on their word. And who knows if russia kept any of it and/or continued research after the fall. I'd guess probably not on the latter at least. It's just incredibly inefficient.
