Yeah, yeah, right, uh huh... the usual corporate bromides straight out or the company PR playbook. 'We're sorry, we'll never do it again'., 'We'll consult with (fill in the blank)" , "it was an administrative error", I'm sick and tired of these 'apology's' from corporations. In the meantime the site is gone forever..

Gee, it's amazing how every ancient site magically has to be mined, blown up for a store, or have a highway paved through it. So, why didn't the relevant authorities take action? Could it be....MONEY? Amazing how the relevant authorities are always asleep, at lunch, on vacation, or the all-time favorite in a meeting'.

Let's 'social distance' ourselves from wildlife, you know just leave them alone to live and die in peace. In other words Quit killing them, Quit 'harvesting' them for trophies. Quit killing them for their tusks. Quit killing them and mounting them displays as to what a super hunter you are. Just for the record, I'm not a vegan, not a member of PETA, and a I'm a

Yep, another stupid idea from Trumposaurus rex, the man who shut down the CDC pandemic branch, killed funding WHO and said that the virus would magically disappear! And then there's his follower who show up with AK 47's demanding their rights not to be quarantined. As the death tolls continue to mount. Idiocracy rules.

One thing I have noticed is that the robo-calls, that I use to get at a rate of about five to ten a day, have dropped to zero. Apparently the scam artists either have Covid 19 or they're realizing nobody has any money since this thing broke out.

No idea. They might have picked it up from insects that they ate, and the virus morphed in the bats and then jumped to humans in the night markets. I just glanced at the top of the article saw that it was fouind in bats, and then moved on. The important thing is we need to take down paywalls. Viruses don't give a damn about them. Anyhow here's a link to the article. Another article sa

I did a Google Scholar search in order to see how many Corona virus articles were trapped behind paywalls, and as far I can tell there aren't any. I was able to download just about every article on Corona viruses that I could find. The exception seemed to be chapters from books. Even found what might be the first article on Corona viruses in bat fecal matter that was discovered first in Hon

I disagree stridently with not wearing face masks. The virus can be transmitted aerially, , the face mask is just one more barrier for it to penetrate. we wore them the whole time we were in Taiwan, with just about everyone else there. On the plane flight back everybody on the plane wore face masks since we were in a hermetically sealed environment for almost 13 hours. So far no symptoms have h

I know from talking to people who have been around the world that the rest of the world thinks the anti-vaxxers are insane, and that we'd let out children die before vaccinating them. When I went to Taiwan I saw a beggar who had one arm that came to a sharp point, no hand at all. I have a strong feeling he was a polio victim. The idiots have taken over the insane asylum.
