Hopefully this will not hurt fight to open the FKK sex clubs and be contained. If the link was already posted by one of the guy who copies links over here already apologies for the double posting. Takes time for my posts to appear. But anyway, let hope they get it under control ASAP.

Coronavirus was already in Italy by December, waste water study finds.

That make me wonder, was the Virus in Frankfurt earlier than March?? I was having nice time in Sharks late February! Maybe too many girls already had it!! Who knows.

Some got virus on October after international military competition in China, but nobody knew what it was and China lied for months, to try to save their already falling cheap economy, and when they don t respect also for pollution which kill much more than virus, US also don t respect for pollution, but they have Trump who found HIV vaccine. Funny crazy world where real white bears don t have anymore home on ice, Bangladesh will be soon new Atlantis with millions new fishes, and in few years, no more snow for me to ski. Virus will kill less in France than pollution, or cigarettes.

Progress in Germany / EU versus the US:

How do these numbers work out per capita and how do the percentage of fatalities compare? Using comparative statistics only Germany is impressing me with these numbers. As far a bagging on the US, we have enough other problems that are low hanging fruit, but. All this crap we are experiencing are like "The Shot Heard Around The World" and any other country may wake up to a new turmoil they didn't even know was getting warm and now they find it boiling.

Of which probably less than 1000 in France and Germany.

If You mean less than 1000 HIV deaths in France, I would like so much You are right, but I'm pretty sure we have much more. About Germany, any doctor would confirm risk for AO RTC, I think more dangerous than virus, because healthy recover from virus, when healthy is not anymore healthy under HIV.

[LeyenLouvain]

China back under virus.

770.000 HIV deaths in 2018, when some seem to think not dangerous.

Headline news are saying China India are in some kinda military tiff and China killed 20+ Indian troops.

This is inline with prior discussion about China using Corona virus damage that was inflicted on its rivals and trying to take them on economically, trade wise, and militarily; HK is already occupied, Taiwan is being bullied; Philippines was badgered 2 years ago. Now India will take a beating.

I am sure our erudite expert (s) will disagree and tell me I am completely misreading this, or that there is not enough consensus that China is in any real confrontation with India. Perhaps FT and WSJ are wrong. But here are two links; perhaps FT and WSJ may not be sufficiently up to the standards of erudite masters, and I hope they can correct me and these two publications where they made mistakes.

If I were you, I wouldn't pay much attention to Bolsonaro or Trump. They're just doing what they've promised what their voters elected them to do.

Yes, in fact we all can see: 1) The finished mighty new wall with Mexico, which was entirely paid by Mexico; 2) the 35% tariff for any car imported into US; 3) The re-opening of the coal mines and the miners happily going underground again; 4) Covid has disappeared miraculously in April, just like Trump said and so on.

The Yellow Vest protests will go on. Waiting in the wings is the anti globalist Marine LE Pen who possibly one day will become the president of France. Wouldn't be surprised if that ever happens. There might even be a Frexit in the future. Who knows. Time will tell. The wind is blowing in the other direction all over the world, not the direction you like. Keep sticking your head in the sand if you want. Good luck.

Maybe you should get your head out of the Brexit foul-stinking sand and face reality! You have been conned about Brexit my friend, sorry about that, mate! Big hugs!

I think nobody knew about how work this new killer virus, so, many countries made many mistakes, but only one Trump and one Bolsonaro, Africa was lucky with weather, Olympics will tell for Japan and time will tell for China.

If I were you, I wouldn't pay much attention to Bolsonaro or Trump. They're just doing what they've promised what their voters elected them to do. Japan is doing fine without complete lockdown which has caused so much damage to the economy and society. How's the French economy working out so far compared that to Japan? You should be worrying about your Emmanuel Macron who is the darling of the global elitists that have screwed their own working class citizens by following the globalism crap. Remember how Brexit came about? There is a chance that Macron may not even be able to finish his current term. Many members of parliament (MP) of his party have abandoned him. The Yellow Vest protests will go on. Waiting in the wings is the anti globalist Marine LE Pen who possibly one day will become the president of France. Wouldn't be surprised if that ever happens. There might even be a Frexit in the future. Who knows. Time will tell. The wind is blowing in the other direction all over the world, not the direction you like.

Pekin again under virus, when China is closed for foreigners. Brazil, some parts of South America, India, South Africa, and again some US states, are under virus, when Western Europe should open inside borders on Monday, except for UK and Spain. Then possible to go to Swiss clubs which are already opened.

The COVID doesn't care about borders. The southern hemisphere enters cold and flu season.

And sees an influx in COVID cases which was predicted months ago. I live in a sparsely populated area about the size of Germany. During the lock down there was still a lot of activity but low virus spread. We now see people moving across and into the area for summer vacation and the infection rates are accelerating. I predict that the US will fail at implementing any future lock down and the virus will run it's course.

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 than less deadly. Some scientists say it helps them understand viruses better.

It's a bit like building a missile launcher and saying, "We don't want to launch missiles. We just want to guess how other nations might launch missiles and see how we might stop that if it happened. ".

You might think that sounds a bit thin.

Details for anyone who is interested: https://www.vox.com/2020/5/1/2124314...ey-should-stop.

Yeah, similar lab was found in Sierra Leone, 'researching' Ebola.

By the way, the Covid-19 doesn't only have that FURIN cleavage I mentioned, which doesn't come naturally in nature at just one mutation, and at exactly the right location on the corona. But it also has an Ace2 receptor which makes it even more contagious among humans than among bats. Weird how these two totally different mutations mutated simultaneously on the same single bat, or one the same single animal betwen bats and humans, at the exact same time. While the same Covid-19 virus is still not found among bats. Only a close related virus.

It is almost as if that intermediate animal was a petri dish.

If that does not settle it, then you might as well believe in Santa Claus and flying unicorns.

In other words, there are now strong evidence that the virus was cocked up in a lab.
