I thought it might be worth cross-posting something that was on the Philippine thread.

On this thread ShooBree has made a similar point. The important statistic is not the CFR (which the media...

So very true. The plants were the original chemists. Animals used motion to flee danger and reproduce, but plants didn't have that: all they had was chemistry and that was how they survived. When...

Salaam Expat. I am also following this policy, at least half way. Ever since the pandemic began I have taken care to maintain strict social distancing from people I don't like. Recently, in...

Salaam Turgid. I made the point a few months ago that most of the people making decisions (politicians) are old people.

Imagine if children were the ones making decisions in our society. Then all...

Salaam zusammen,

I just watched this Coronavirus Update from the Trump White House. I have to admit I was surprised and even a little impressed by the sober and self-critical tone.

From March 8:

Salaam Polyamorist. The horses have finished the first lap and right now it looks like nobody will be retiring to Florida any more, and everybody will be retiring to New Zealand,...

Ya hasrety! it turns out that the COVID-19 germ was already circulating in Brazil in November 2019:

Can anyone tell me how that is...

Salaam Master Monger.

I see you are a fan of the Philippines. So am I (well, used to be).

You make some good points. Another interesting thing: if you look at the Zoom stock chart, you see it...

I previously talked about how South Korea and Switzerland had handled the pandemic comparatively well. But I would also like to salute Taiwan. They always had strained relations with China, so they...

Salaam Oregon97. Good points. Sounds like it is healthier to be out in the wild having lots of sex than huddling in the cellar with your mask and gloves on. You only live once, might as well make the...

I was sceptical at first, but like many of you I have come to believe that the key to controlling the Wu-Flu is face masks. When people wear face masks in public spaces, the virus cannot attach...

A couple of months ago I said South Korea was kicking ass in the fight against Coronavirus. It didn't look like anybody could do better. But now Switzerland is ranked #1 and Germany #2 out of 200...

Progress in Germany / EU versus the US:

Salaam Pistons,

The Wuhan lab was engaged in the notorious "gain-of-function" research, which was previously banned in the US. Gain-of-function research is about making viruses more deadly rather...

Salaam Dreams. If you wish to educate yourself, you don't have to look far. Here is a good article:

The divine monkey,...

Just have a business that sells to the American market, and emigrate to Europe. Then maybe you would be less pessimistic.

Well when I first read it, I wasn't sure if they were plagiarizing '28 Days Later' or 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'. But monkeys are a serious part of Indian life. They are considered sacred, like...

As if the news wasn't bad enough already, a band of "highly intelligent" rhesus monkeys has attacked a medical center in Delhi and escaped with a batch of coronavirus blood test samples. It is not...

Salaam Ho-san.

My respect for China and Japan has nothing to do with economics or even public health, but rather the secrets that they hold. Civilizations this ancient must know things that...

Salaam Dreams and Arnold. The herd immunity threshold for coronavirus is generally quoted as 60%. But a recent model from Swedish and UK scientists found it could be just 43%. There's a lot of doubt....

Haut les coeurs! I checked the stats and yesterday the total deaths went from 28,239 to 28,022 -- a rise of only -0. 77%.

When I first read that, I was thrilled, but on second thoughts I'm not...

Salaam ExpatLover, Ramadan ends on Saturday, that is when I will really get my freak on, Corona or no-Corona, I know many girls outside the FKK scene, many of them are going stir-crazy because they...

OK fine, I will TOFTT.

While you are stuck wanking in your apartment, I will be out in the wild sticking my cock between the plump ass cheeks of ten beautiful women.

(If I stop posting here,...

WHO now says COVID-19 might never go away. Disturbing? Yes, but let's put this into perspective.

Smallpox used to kill 4 million people a month. Translated to today's world population that would...

Salaam Pistons and may your herd of goats never stray from the road to Mecca. I think you discovered much of the above from the speculative text Hyperion by Dan Simmons. If not, give it a read!
