… Isn’t it interesting when the government suddenly (in the midst of chaos even [10-1 and 10+1] anyone?) somehow, someway, (should I even say “miraculously”?) becomes an efficient machine able to churn out hundreds of pages of highly detailed, very directed, very “purposeful”, coherent text? Absolutely AMAZING!
The choice seems clear Athena…[Read more] -

despondent so quickly he could have “died” from CV. Oh, did I mention that Moviemogulstein has “tested positive” for CV.
Hmmmm. I wonder if Julian Assange (remember him?) will “test positive” for CV.

A paraphrase – “All right,” Joe and Jane Folk shouted back in unison. “If you are the virologists, where is your evidence? Let’s see it.”
The virologists replied, “Evidence!,, to g_d-d_m_ed h_ll with evidence! We have no evidence. In fact, we don’t need evidence. We don’t have to show you any stinking evidence, you g_d-d_m_ed rational,…[Read more] -

As far as I know the Italian National Health Institute (ISS Istituto Superiore di Sanità, Epidemiology Centre) is the only body openly publishing detailed analysis of the demographics and comorbidity aspects of the infection. The reports seem to be in Italian only but the language content is reduced and tables are provided. They are analysing the…[Read more]

What they are NOT telling is the genome: whether it is the same protein as in China but this is highly unlikely, the proteins mutate as they spread. How many are there, is there one in each country or a whole series of mutations? Was Wuhan the real source, or are there other sources? Why did the infection spread specifically to Iran’s political leaders?

Social distancing. What good is it to “lock up” persons over 70 as the British appear set on doing?

There are certain commentators who applaud China’s “severe but just measures” which have allegedly stopped the contagion. Now apparently they have been delivering Vitamin C by the ton to their military bases. Why isn’t there a massive campaign for high doses of Vitamin C in the rest of the world (this is a rhetorical question: big pharma will not…[Read more]

Big Pharma has been fighting the use of Vitamin C for decades (since Linus Pauling). Remember, they have murdered countless physicians who have used alternative research and methods to treat cancer. Vitamin C has been successful in many cases (big shock: cancer IS a virus related condition).

Alice speaks to Cheshire Cat
`Cheshire Puss,’ she began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would like the name: however, it only grinned a little wider. `Come, it’s pleased so far,’ thought Alice, and she went on. `Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?’
`That depends a good deal on where you want to…[Read more]

A few posts previous Bluenose asked how the Corona virus received its name.
I’d like to suggest taking a look at the Greek … Corona … Corona Borealis … and so on. Also look at Corona and its relation to Kronos …

Some useful points here.
Thanks, Scarmoge. I always thought I could write and then, when writing a master’s thesis, our department brought in an editor who absolutely tore our material apart. It was about structure, about language, and about content. It seemed painful at the time but it is clear that I “got it”. I have enjoyed writing ever since. That is why this…[Read more]
Thanks for the link Scarmoge. I’ve always wanted to write a science fiction series since I was a kid. When I do I will use an ancient style that employs allegories and symbolism. Think of Homer’s the Illiad or the book of Metamorphosis by the Roman poet Ovid.
