Man, the internet is really messing with America’s mind. Cable “news” too. We’re all doubting each other’s sources and all it’s doing is dividing us. Believing in fairy tales is not healthy ever. All it does is lower the bar for everything to become “facts”. This is one case where trickle down really works. Disinformation overload.
This happens in many countries. Politics is forbidden on BLF, otherwise I could point out a driving force behind the conspiracy myth. Well known in Germany.
This is why apathy is sooooo low-stress…
How we looking to you?
I need some of that good booze who’ve been showing over in “What are you drinking?”.
Yep, when it comes to online drama, apathy is the way to go. 
(And that frequently applies to real life drama as well.)
Just stay away from that Pee-BR. Tastes like urine…
I was seeing this in my TV and was…shocked!
Stay f’ckin safe!!!
Less filling!
As predicted, slight hiccup in new cases around TG but not a change in the longterm trend.

A rare side effect in a young patient with coronavirus —- bleeding out from every orifice all at once
Things could still get a lot worse than they are right nnow.
Geez, this was so funny I almost blew coffee through my nose! :laughing:
Here’s some good news, a study in China suggests that asymptomatic Covid-infected people are not significant contributors to the spread of the virus. That might alleviate some anxiety.
Yeah, precisely my sensation when I hear something from Fox News :laughing:
Oh, oops, I just don’t drink coffee 
Honestly, the whole situation told by the nurse was WOW! Of course not everyone experiences the same, still, the report is mindblowing and unfortunately she’s not the only one seeing those situations in the ICU or other caring units :zipper_mouth_face:
Thanks, NorthernHarrier. Two sources on the same facts are always helpful.
That study was posted on a website that often posts papers that have not been peer reviewed, and only reviewed by the editors of the website. They don’t make that clear on the study report page, so I am mentioning it here. That particular study also involved data collected in China after a four-month, total lockdown of everyone in the studied population. We don’t have that kind of a situation in the USA, and we never will. In addition, the report doesn’t say whether the people who tested positive but were asymptomatic were isolated after the lockdown and before the testing from others, or lived as normal in full contact with families, friends, co-workers, etc. There’s too many variables unlike the USA, and too little known about how the study results were obtained, to draw general conclusions from it that are applicable to the USA or other countries where there haven’t been total lockdowns of large areas.
Purely asymptomatic people, who don’t develop symptoms at all during the infection, don’t spread much. The issue is that pre-syntomatic people (the ones that will develop symptoms a few days in the future) can easily spread the virus.
That’s what the WHO tried to tell, as that information is useful for contact tracing purposes, but it was misunderstood.
The problem is that we just don’t know yet how to tell apart pre-syntomatic cases from asymptomatic cases.
Most Covid19 papers are not reviewed yet, the peer review & publication process is just too slow for an ongoing pandemic, so everybody looks at the preprints.
Sure there are speculators also in conspiracy theories, however feeling the daily hammering of massmedias and watch how the world turn there may be some thrut.
The reputable websites that post pre-review papers incorporate a comment process after posting. There’s no sign that is permitted or happening in the case mentioned above. I’m aware of the length of time required for the full peer review process to be done, but that isn’t an issue here.
