COVID-19 hits below the belt, guys... https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-04-slower-clearance-coronavirus-infection-men.htmlSample quote Why do men have trouble shaking off their infections? Seeking a molecular explanation, the researchers focused on how coronavirus infection occurs. To infect cells, coronaviruses must first latch onto well-known proteins, called ACE2 receptors, that sprout like tiny antennae from the surfaces of cells. Cell types expressing copious levels of ACE2 on their surfaces would theoretically be most susceptible to infection. The researchers consulted three independent databases with information on ACE2 expression in different tissues. They saw that the testes, along with the lungs and kidneys, were among the areas of the body with the highest ACE2 expression. By contrast, ACE2 could not be detected in tissue of the ovaries.

Cabin fever https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-04-cabin-fever.htmlSample quote "Chronic loneliness is on par with smoking a pack of cigarettes a day in terms of its health repercussions. Not just for your mental health, but also for your physical health," Wood said. "Just the subjective feeling of being lonely increases inflammation in the body, which is the body's sickness state. Your body will physically be treating itself as if it were sick, which, in the long term, is bad for it." Wood suggested that if you're beginning to feel the effects of exhaustion or depression, there are things you can do, like spending time in the sunlight every day, finding creative activities that keep you from becoming bored and establishing a routine that can bring some predictability to your day. End quote I am much happier being alone, just my woman and the dogs are all I really need for physical companionship. So living like this suits me just fine thank you.

In males I thought it was called something else.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I may not be reading all of your posts right but you seem to thrive on the bad news and not the good. Aren't you the guy saying the pandemic is a plandemic? I have read enough of your posts to know that while you are intelligent, you also lean too far to a side that is contrary to my beliefs. I don't believe that I wrote "plandemic", I recall the term scamdemic.

I'm not really concerned about anyone else's beliefs, although it kinda amuses me when people pigeonhole me because it shows they're not paying attention. Nonetheless, I simply find it a little ironic the guy who thinks this is a scam is the one taking people to task for seeing the bad. This is the first time most of us have experienced something like this. Perhaps someone's limiting character shines through and they have trouble seeing the positive at this moment. Maybe they're always a half-empty-kind of guy. I dunno, but I'm the kind of guy who thinks there's a lot of real stuff going on. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to be in support of each other and a common cause, rather than promote the division that seem to be coming from everywhere--even the top? Because if you're not in agreement with that, then yes, you seem to be leaning towards a side contrary to my beliefs.

There are those that place their trust in government and those that do not. I don't trust them. So "trust but verify" is now out dated? Actually I believe people are likely too lazy(?) to "verify" and take responsibility for their own decisions of who/what to trust, easier to blame everything not going their way on someone else's shortcoming. I am in my world responsible for who and what I decide to trust, and I have been wrong in the past , and it will be certainly be true more times in the future, but its still my decision, nobody else to blame but me. My observations indicate to me, my thinking is not very common today, but its the way I was raised.

Could a recent MMR vaccine provide some protection against COVID-19 virus? Some British researchers speculate it might: Sample quote Scientists from the University of Cambridge have suggested that the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) could be helping drive a protective immune response against SARS-CoV-2. MMR is typically given to all infants from nine months of age, so this hypothesis would fit nicely with the observation that children seem to be remarkably resistant to COVID-19. Analysis of the structure of key proteins in measles, mumps and rubella viruses has shown that there is some unexpected similarity with certain proteins in SARS-CoV-2. In particular, the "spike protein" of SARS-CoV-2 is 20% comparable to the measles "fusion protein." It isn't known whether this is close enough to drive a cross-reactive immune response, but this is likely to be the focus of future research. From an article that also mentions the BCG vaccine that several prior posts in this thread have been about. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-04-coronavirus-pandemic-vaccines.html

I can't help not commenting that that your post is most fitting in trying to decipher all the info that seems to blur the lines of what is actually occurring. This applies to so much more than the pandemic.

“Sky Net” now flying above you.... https://thenextweb.com/neural/2020/...r-the-us-to-detect-coronavirus-symptoms/Sample quote Aerospace firm Draganfly has conducted the first US test flights of its “pandemic drones,” the company announced today. The drones are fitted with sensors and computer vision systems that measure body temperature, breathing, and heart rates from up to 190 feet. They can also spot if someone’s sneezing, coughing, or following social distancing rules. The test flights were conducted in Westport, Connecticut, which became a coronavirus hotspot following a private party where dozens of people were exposed to the virus. End quote

Improved “Sky Net” gets killing ray gun... https://www.cnet.com/news/flying-coronavirus-killer-how-this-drone-fights-covid-19/Sample quote Most recently the company developed the Aertos 120-UVC drone, equipped with ultraviolet lights which are already used in hospitals and other facilities to kill viruses and bacteria. Operated by a pilot, the drone can disinfect surfaces without a person having to go near them. End quote

Some "opportunist" company will come up with that idea to "cash in" on the panic.
