This is one of my fav YouTuber therapists. She really lays out how people are suffering with compassion and deep empathy.

Unrelated....

I wonder, is a virus making the protein, or exosomes that were created, created by a distressed microbiome, exposed to a blood agent from China [a food market?] in the food supply?

Watched the entire video and was amazed at how much time, manpower and technology is being utilized to combat what is essentially a mindless marauding organism so simplistic in its construction that it should be easily annihilated. Human bodies already combat it and defeat it. It just interferes enough in the health of only certain people. And yet .... the efforts continue.

If this was 30 years ago, we'd really be screwed in terms of combatting it with a combination of a cure and behavioural modification.

A great piece of investigative journalism.  


It was, wasn't it?

Just finished three articles regarding concerns over the push to reopen. Here is one:

The current situation offers an unprecedented chance to study our water systems and to make sure that society is better prepared for future disaster scenarios, Rose says.

“We’re in an extraordinary time,” she says. “We should make every effort to learn as much as we can.”

I agree.  👍

Deception can have fatal consequences. The worst kind being closest to the truth, perhaps.

They are measuring an RNA protein. Now we need to know, is it from exogenous viral sources, or expelled exosomes in a state of toxicity from chemical weapons.

Reminds me when I stuck my thumb into the circular-saw blade a couple of years' back (just finishing off the last piece of a project) - amazingly my thumb recovered - mostly - the body's ability to self-heal is amazing, thankfully.

Indeed, Josh. I was carrying framed prints once and slipped, meaning I crash landed atop broken glass—sliced my little fingertip off, along with half my fingernail.  Doc said I would lose the nail, but I never did. Pinkie healed, and you can barely tell anything happened at all.

My thought in reading this was people pushing to reopen on the grounds of herd immunity haven't quite thought this through. . .yeah, us old people might be sacrificed so they can live; however, how many will contract other diseases from moving too fast?

Nature has a way of getting what she wants when she wants it. . .our attention.

Good on her.

Speaking of. . .

Wuhan Reports New COVID-19 Cases — The City's 1st In More Than A Month

Wuhan is reporting a small new cluster of COVID-19 cases, more than a month after lockdown restrictions were eased in the city that was the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. Wuhan now has at least six new COVID-19 cases, the first to be confirmed in Hubei province in at least 35 days.

After more than a dozen new cases were reported over the weekend in the city of Shulan in the northeast province of Jilin, some 600,000 residents were effectively put under lockdown orders, according to media outlet Caixan.

Of course, this is China. . .so. . .

Here is the actual media outlet, Caixan's story:

I did find this interesting...after I found out what you Americans pay for the same Glaucoma drops that I get for $15 per month...I nearly died to see how expensive drugs are in the US compared to every other first world country, just amazing...then I saw why your medical system is the way it is...and as this film shows, it is not because it is broken...it's because it is working just the way your version of capitalism wants it to work...made me realise how lucky I am in Australia.

Yep; which is exactly why we need fresh blood in the White House. Not a middled-aged white man "Making ( or Keeping ) America Great Again". We need a maternal influence who will put people before profit surplus.

It all saddens me A...we had a female Prime Minister here for a term, Julia Gillard...she was excellent...would certainly like another one...good luck at the next election. Our system down here in "Ozland" and New Zealand is different, we don't vote for individuals but the party...and once a Prime Minister is elected they can be sacked by their own party...happened a lot over the past 20 years lol...but as happened in 1975, our Political party was dismissed and a new election was called for and we all just voted peacefully within 3 or 4 months. That's why the Dalai Lama chose Australia's democratic process for Tibet if it was ever freed by the Chinese.

Thanks, Harry. The closest a female will get to the White House ( aside from the 'First Lady' ) is the vice-presidency, UNLESS she's someone like Sarah Palin . . .

I am hoping Biden chooses someone like Michelle Obama or Elizabeth Warren ( if they would accept the nomination ) as his running mate; it would only strengthen his position against Trump.  Though personally, as four years ago, Sanders had the best chance of defeating him.  

Regardless, it will all work out eventually. . .somehow.

It's remarkable how unremarkable she became once she started speaking her mind.  She hasn't been newsworthy for years now.

LMAO!

"And I can see Russia from my house!"

This is a very interesting article:

The impulse to garden in hard times has deep roots

The coronavirus pandemic has set off a global gardening boom.

In the early days of lockdown, seed suppliers were depleted of inventory and reported “unprecedented” demand. Within the U.S., the trend has been compared to World War II victory gardening, when Americans grew food at home to support the war effort and feed their families.

The analogy is surely convenient. But it reveals only one piece in a much bigger story about why people garden in hard times. Americans have long turned to the soil in moments of upheaval to manage anxieties and imagine alternatives. My research has even led me to see gardening as a hidden landscape of desire for belonging and connection; for contact with nature; and for creative expression and improved health.

Nice! Vegetables and flowers were never my thing, but I always enjoyed having my own pumpkin patch back in the 90's. If I ever try it again, I'm going to grow them out of half barrels or large pots. I don't have the energy or patience for keeping a garden weed free any more.
