Well considering that just 3 feet of distance between people can drastically reduce viral spread maybe the best way to stay not sick is to walk around coughing all day, people will be terrified of you and give you a nice wide berth.

I haven't read the whole thread but has this been posted ?

https://twitter.com/SenTomCotton/status/1222962874932453377?s=20

I have seen some interesting info regarding the fact there is (coincidence) a biosafety level 4 laboratory in Wuhan studying -among others- (coincidence) coronavirii.

More info from some dubious sources even trace the origin of the virus to a 2012 strain discovered in Saudi Arabia and studied in Canada that wasn't contagious, but the study of the new strain shows it's clearly different and highly contagious. It's easy to imagine the Chinese have been playing with virii as bio weapon and probably other countries do so too. Is it outlandish to imagine this strain is actually something designed, and that it was released accidentally from the BSL4 lab in Wuhan?


sorry if this was discussed before.

If you really want to get your conspiracy jimmies in a bunch, an accused Chinese spy was escorted from that Winnipeg facility studying the coronavirus last summer after being found out.

also, washing food (especially produce) isn't just to get rid of dirt

Yeah I mean the takeaways I got from that thread were

a) don't wash your food with soap it will make you sick and
b) the threat of coronavirus from food is negligible as long as you're washing your hands, which while it isn't perfect you should be doing before eating anyways

quote:

For Geoff Frost, the first sign of the coronavirus culture war came last weekend on the golf course. His country club, located in an affluent suburb of Atlanta, had recently introduced a slew of new policies to encourage social distancing. The communal water jugs were gone, the restaurant was closed, and golfers had been asked to limit themselves to one person per cart. Frost, a 43-year-old Democrat, told me the club’s mix of younger liberals and older conservatives had always gotten along just fine—but the guidelines were proving divisive.

At the driving range, while Frost and his like-minded friends slathered on hand sanitizer and kept six feet apart, the white-haired Republicans seemed to delight in breaking the new rules. They made a show of shaking hands, and complained loudly about the “stupid hoax” being propagated by virus alarmists. When their tee times were up, they piled defiantly into golf carts, shoulder to shoulder, and sped off toward the first hole.

Frost felt conflicted. He wanted to encourage the men, some of whom he’d known for years, to be more careful. “I care about their well-being,” he told me. “But it’s a tough call, just personally, because it’s become a political thing.
