If my grandmother was still alive she would have cured coronavirus with this same treatment she used for anything else we grandkids suffered from...a dose of Fen-A-ment, ExLax or if the she thought you were really constipated...the much feared Fleet Enema Eek...pretty much all ailments were a result of giving the wrong answer to the question “when was the last time you used the bathroom?

My Mother would have attacked the virus the same way she did with any gaping injury I sustained. By pouring it full of Mercurochrome. That and Vap-O-Rub was a guaranteed cure.

Given under my hand and under the Seal of the Commonwealth of Virginia, this 30th day of March, 2020.



If Congress thinks a check for $1,200 will fix this, they haven't got a goddamned clue. What is needed is zero tax collection for all of CY2020, with the fed.gov and state.gov and local.gov giving back every penny of tax revenue collected thus far.

Glad to hear this. I'm curious, do you know where or from whom you contracted it? Similarly, do you know who you were in contact with that may have contracted it, while you were asymptomatic?

That would go against every law of virology that we now know. I don't believe it.


Not exactly... There are reports of the virus mutating into multiple strains, and infection with one strain of a virus doesn't necessarily confer immunity to another.

That's why you can get the flu shot every year, and still get the flu... and then get the flu again.

With that said, there haven't been many reports of reinfection and the medical community seems to mostly be of the opinion that the rare apparent instances of reinfection are most likey actually relapses (i.e., the person seemed to get better, but wasn't actually completely over the infection, and then got worse again).
The ICU doctor in the 47 minute video posted in this thread over the weekend said that they routinely saw patients start feeling better and test virus free for 2 days, test positive again, and then it'd be gone by day 14. He attributed the dip and spike to them actually not being fully recovered.

America’s industrial might is being marshaled to fight the coronavirus.



Ford announced Monday that it is partnering with GE Healthcare to build 50,000 ventilators in Michigan in 100 days. The critical care devices will be built by United Autoworker union members that Ford’s Rawsonville Components Plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

Ford said production of the ventilators in Michigan will begin the week of April 20th. It expects to produce 1,500 by the end of April, 12,000 by the end of May, and 50,000 by July 4. After that, the plant will produce up to 30,000 ventilators per month.

The plant will produce a simplified ventilator design licensed by GE Healthcare from Florida-based Airon Corp.

“The Ford and GE Healthcare teams, working creatively and tirelessly, have found a way to produce this vitally needed ventilator quickly and in meaningful numbers,” said Jim Hackett, Ford’s president and CEO. “By producing this ventilator in Michigan, in strong partnership with the UAW, we can help health care workers save lives, and that’s our No. 1 priority.”
White House Defense Production Act Coordinator Peter Navarro praised the Ford/GE partnership for working on “Trump time.”

Ford said the Rawsonville plant will produce the ventilators nearly around the clock, with 500 paid volunteer UAW-represented employees working on three shifts. At full production, Ford said it will be able to make 7,200 “Model A-E” ventilators per week, a far faster pace than the 3-per day of the equivalent ventilators currently produced at Airon’s Florida facility.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


President Trump's recruitment of private industry has been awesome. The reporters at the press briefing, actually all of them, try to trip him up and serve up "gotcha" questions.

How pathetic. Journalism is FUBAR in this country.

I get so tired of nonstop criticism from people like Chuck Todd. Criticism from people who don't do anything except Monday quarterback the people who are struggling w monumental challenges. Reminds me of those poker shows where you get to see everyone's hand. Sure seems easy.

Rock Falls church defies Covid-19 warnings, continues holding in-person services

First Open Bible Church is disregarding federal health guidelines and a state mandate restricting gatherings

ROCK FALLS, Illinois — A Rock Falls church is continuing to hold in-person services, defying federal health guidelines and a state mandate restricting gatherings. Members of First Open Bible Church could be seen in an online broadcast on Sunday morning greeting one another with warm handshakes and hugs.

Pastor Les Funderberg would not comment to News Eight. But in his sermon, Funderberg makes it clear that he knows he is at odds with the advice of health authorities.

"I know that we're in the middle of a situation. We're in the middle of, they call it a pandemic," Funderberg said.

Whiteside County Health Department Public Health Administrator and CEO Cheryl Lee said her office had been in contact with the church.

"We really want people to not congregate, stay at home if at all possible," Lee said. "Because if you are healthy and well, you may still be contagious and there are people that are high-risk."

Authorities have advised that people only go out for the absolute essentials like food or medicine.

"I certainly understand, as a Christian myself, the need to really want to lean into our faith and our local churches, and that’s why we are applauding the churches that are able to do online services," said Dr. Kelley Stanley, medical director at the Whiteside County Health Department.

First Open Bible Church already posts its Sunday and Wednesday services online, unlike other local congregations that don't yet have that capability.

Nevertheless, Funderberg remains defiant.

"I know there’s a pandemic, but I’m not running afraid. If God is God, he’s got me! And if he takes me, praise God! What’s the downside of that?" Funderberg said.

What? You expect government bureaucrats, et al, to live by their rules? Mad

Rest assured, tax collection will not cease and government workers will get paid.

Don't forget the S/S checks and all the other entitlements will keep rolling out. Money has gotta come from somewhere....

Anyone who thinks .GOV can make American whole again after this is smoking fucking crack.

He was 66.
Inducted into Heavy Metal Hall of Fame in January.
He was in NY.

He was a super great guy, and he and I were planning to meet after the summer.

He was a big fan of my coffee.

Now Dr. Birx has to go. She too just predicted 200,000 deaths in a best case scenario: "if we do everything perfectly."

Time for Trump to fire her just like he should have fired Dr. Fauci when he went all crazy and said the same thing.

Trump just needs to get someone in there who will just say 10,000 deaths in U.S., maximum, end of story.
