656Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

That's all there ever was to being a Jehovah's Witness
by Terry injehovah's witnesses weren't jehovah's witnesses until 1931.until that year the people who had been hard-headed followers of end times false prophecies by william miller and seventh day adventists, more or less settled into following charisma-ballyhoo preaching by folks like "pastor" c.t.
russell.what was it that attracts these people?
it is a thin veneer of pious bible interpretation as a means of prepping for the end of the world.yep.

JW's rare terrified and creaming their knickers but gloating
right now because their entire cosmos is framed by DOOM.
The Bible Students under Russell met WWI with soiled undies but out-sized hankering for the cable-car to heaven.
Existential occurrences throughout history are not exceptional.
Earthquakes? Always.
Wars? Always.
Famines? Always
Diseases? Always
The model for END TIMES ALWAYS FITS the era in which you live!
This is as close to 'proof' as the Watchtower has ever gotten.ve·rid·i·cal/vəˈridək(ə)l/adjectiveFORMAL- truthful.

Dead Sea Scrolls FORGERIES at Bible museum (scandal)
by Terry inhttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/2020/03/museum-of-the-bible-dead-sea-scrolls-forgeries/ independent researchers funded by the museum of the bible announced that all 16 of the museum’s dead sea scroll fragments are modern forgeries.
the museum ceo exclaimed, “we’re victims—we’re victims of misrepresentation, we’re victims of fraud.” the pieces are probably made of ancient leather, they were inked in modern times and modified to resemble real dead sea scrolls; all with the intention of deceiving for profit.
the researcher's report’s findings raise grave questions about the “post-2002” dead sea scroll fragments, a group of some 70 snippets of biblical text that entered the antiquities market in the 2000's.

What has been forged is not the content but the historicity as an object d'art, so to speak.
It's like thinking you own a Dali painting - yet discovering what you possess is forged by another artist.
The forger has duplicated an actual existing Dali - but - replacing the original by faking the verisimilitude with chicanery and applesauce.
The word I'm looking for is ACTUALITY orauthenticity.
A copy can appear identical. A diamond and a cubic zirconium is a case in point.
This is where SUBJECTIVITY enters the picture.
What is"real"is not the same as what is REAL.
Chew that one.
Whose autograph do you want? ELVIS or the impersonator? -

When I take a big step back and look at the state of societies around our planet I
see that much of the turmoil in the last two decades is a result of a new generation infected by post-modern philosophy / politics incubated in Universities.
Academia's chicks have come home to roost and clash with Boomers (who currently run / ruin the world.This new generation doesn't debate - it censors, subverts, and silences opposition.
Will I live long enough to see the other side of this current clash when things cool down? Hmmm, I hope so.
The snarling and the clawing aren't very interesting.
It's anti-intellectual but ironically, mostly conducted by what passes for intellectuals.
Sigh.
Oh bother!
Rascals aren't held accountable. That's the bottom line. -

HAPPY?
Life finds a way!A fragile flower grows through concrete.
The whirlwind scatters seeds and future flowers flourish.We are LIFE and life persists - always has no matter the
flood or impact of an errant asteroid.
LIFE goes on.
A punishing plague seeping under dark curtains of ancient times gives way to science and longer lifespans.
Those who live in the Best of Times always feel it is the worst of times
(and always they are wrong.)I was born after World War II to people who had survived a Great Depression and Hitler, Mussolini, and Pearl Harbor.
I grew up under the impending Iron Curtain doom of Cold War nuclear bombast. I went to school during the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK's assassination and joined a Doomsday Cult, went to prison and had my mind and body assaulted.
What's to be happy about?EVERYTHING!
I have 7 wonderful kids and four grand-kids and monumentally outstanding friends.
I've basked in summer sunlight of white sand beaches in Carmel by-the-sea,
walked in Monet's garden in Giverny, and strolled under aqueducts built by an empire that flourished almost two thousand years.HAPPY?
Damned right we have it in us!We are a species outrageously effective at surmounting
impossible obstacles and placing humans on our moon, robots on Mars, and penetrating the shroud of outer -outer space to photograph the Universe.HAPPY?
Our choice.Reach. It's what we do - we reach for our tomorrows with unflagging optimism.
Join me and do that now.We walk not in the valley of the shadow of death without
prayers, hopes, or sensibility of survival.
Crest each hill as it comes ... tomorrow awaits those who climb.HAPPY?
LIFE FINDS A WAY!

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/2020/03/museum-of-the-bible-dead-sea-scrolls-forgeries/ Independent researchers funded by the Museum of the Bible announced that all 16 of the museum’s Dead Sea Scroll fragments are modern forgeries. The Museum CEO exclaimed, “We’re victims—we’re victims of misrepresentation, we’re victims of fraud.” The pieces are probably made of ancient leather, they were inked in modern times and modified to resemble real Dead Sea Scrolls; all with the intention of deceiving for profit.
The researcher's report’s findings raise grave questions about the “post-2002” Dead Sea Scroll fragments, a group of some 70 snippets of biblical text that entered the antiquities market in the 2000's. Even before the new report, some scholars believed that most to all of the post-2002 fragments were modern fakes. Question: how had the forgers managed to fool the world’s leading Dead Sea Scroll scholars? “It really was—and still is—an interesting kind of detective story,” says Jeffrey Kloha, the Museum of the Bible’s chief curatorial officer. “We really hope this is helpful to other institutions and researchers, because we think this provides a good foundation for looking at other pieces, even if it raises other questions.”
The investigative team’s best guess is that the leather itself is ancient, recovered from scraps found in the Judean desert or elsewhere. One tantalizing possibility is that they come from ancient leather shoes or sandals. One of the fragments has a row of what look like artificially made holes, somewhat similar to those found in Roman-era shoes. The authentic Dead Sea Scrolls trace back to 1947, when Bedouin herders found clay jars in Palestine’s Qumran caves that held thousands of parchment scrolls more than 1,800 years old, including some of the oldest surviving copies of the Hebrew Bible. ________ Of additional interest: ___

OK I see you bought out the store on tin foil any proof other than some YouTube conspiracy video?
_________She published in 2000 "Wild-derived inbred mouse strains have short telomeres" Nucleic Acids Research, 2000, Vol. 28, No. 22 DOI: 10.1093/nar/28.22.4474
This is the paper Brett referenced. Its the same year that Brett submitted:
Life's slow fuse: telomeres,tumours and the evolution of vertebrate senescence. NatureSubmission #W08077
Brett Weinstein has copies of Carol's many annotated criticisms of his paper in her own handwriting. The top evolutionary scientist in the field who pre-approved and praised Brett's work agreed with Weinstein that her crits were superficial nonsense.My guess about this is she did steal this idea from Brett which I hope this podcast brings to light. But I'm wondering which aspect of her many research papers were the reason for her being granted the Nobel prize, it looks like its the actual discovery of Telomerase.
So shes a thief, but got her prize for other work.
If she is NOT a thief - she should protest and loudly.I do not have access to any scientific journals at this time and I am not willing to pay for access, but hopefully someone else does. I am very curious to get to the bottom of this controversy, and judging by the comments I'm not alone.

“I’m young and healthy so coronavirus won’t affect me” (why we need to stop this disease at ALL costs!)
by slimboyfat ineven if you are young and heathy there are very good reasons to fear this disease and take drastic actions to avoid it individually, and halt it together as communities.
not only would it be traumatic as a society to lose so many old and unwell family members and friends, but survivors of the disease may suffer significant health problems in the future.
survivors of the first sars virus in 2003 have suffered significant lung problems.

TERRY'S HANDY GUIDE
"How to beat Corona-Virus"
Think of it this way. Remember the days when everybody smoked?
Think of the air around you as contaminated by smoke particles. Can you avoid
smoke if you ARE IN THE SAME SPACE? No.
Smoke gets on the surface of everything. Clings. Goes in eyes, ears, mouth, etc.
If virus is to be avoided - you'll have to treat it just like smoke.
+++++++++++++++1. Go to your local Dollar Store (for the last time). Go just before it closes to avoid crowds. Don't go back till all of this is over.
2. Purchase cotton balls, little tubes of Triple Antibiotic, a couple of cans of spray disinfectant, and lots of plastic trash can liners and bags. If they have them: swim goggles.
3. Establish the following procedures with your family.
From now on until THE END, avoid mixing in company in enclosed areas. This virus is airborne. It can get into your breathing passages and on your clothes and the bottoms of your shoes. Did I mention exposed eyes are vulnerable?
A. Take your cotton balls and pinch off just enough cotton to fit into each nostril. Squirt a bit of Triple Antibiotic jell on to the cotton and INSERT into your nostril. From now on, breathe through your nose only. You can do this.
B. Airborne virus can get into your eyes. Put on those swimming goggles when you go out. The fact that you'll look ridiculous is a GOOD thing - people will avoid you.
C. When you come back from going anyplace with people, remove your shoes OUTSIDE the house and place them in a plastic bag. Spray Disinfectant into the bag.
D. Don't eat any food but canned goods. No exceptions.
Suck it up and deal. Exceptions will open you to infections.E. When you return from going anyplace, remove your exterior clothes like they are radioactive. Place them in plastic bags and spray with spray disinfectant.
F. Shower frequently. Your hair - always scrub your hair. Then disinfect the shower area.
G. I'd suggest surgical gloves - but I know you won't go that far - and besides - you'll just handle something with gloves on and then touch your face with the gloves.
Same thing -eh?H. Don't just wash your hands. Especially in public. Don't be using Public Bathrooms. Are you nuts? You'll be inside a confined space crawling with virus and you'll touch all sorts of surfaces.
Door-handles? Think about it!
Use hand-cleaner you carry with you do all your bathroom activity AT HOME only.I. Outdoor pets - think about. You know what you must do. Keep them inside as long as possible.
J. MAIL and packages from Amazon. Handle this outside with Lysol first. Don't bring boxes inside the house. Use a very sharp knife to cut down the cardboard and dispose in trash.
K. Three times a day: change your cotton balls and Triple Antibiotic nose plugs.
L. Stay active, avoid risks. The strongest chain of prevention is broken by one weak link of stupidity.
_____Note: If all the above sounds ridiculous, well - it is - BUT unless you are willing and able to keep such a prevent
ative regimen - you will likely contract the virus in the long run.Transmission has been extremely rapid all over the world.
Going out in public is the same as "just asking for trouble."
Be wise or be stupid and the results will reveal which you've chosen.
I repeat:
Think of it this way. Remember the days when everybody smoked?
Think of the air around you as contaminated by smoke particles. Can you avoid
smoke if you ARE IN THE SAME SPACE? No.
Smoke gets on the surface of everything. Clings. Goes in eyes, ears, mouth, etc.
If virus is to be avoided - you'll have to treat it just like smoke. -

DID YOU KNOW?All our mice are broken.SCANDAL in the scientific, biological, and academic community (unreported in the media.)1. A researcher discovers a huge flaw in drug testing.2. The mice used for drug testing are skewing results.3. Dangerous drugs are released to the public causing thousands of deaths.4. The Academic community sits on the report.5. The Media refuse to report.The above are the elements of this story.Now, what else?These are Science Terms requiring a basic understanding:TELOMERASE : code at the end of DNA strands.Each cell division loses bits of the code.Cell division stops when Telomerase is all gone.Why is this important?Unchecked (or runaway) cell division leads to CANCER.Unlimited Telomerase grants immortality to cells BUT at what cost? You die of cancer!Mice for lab experiments all come from one strain bred in labs exclusively for lab experiments.With generation after generation of mouse breeding without predators - these mice develop longer Telomerase codes.
SENESCENCE : the study of what causes aging leading to death.
(Note this discovery sheds much light on the previous unknowns of aging and cancer).Nobody ever put two and two together until Bret Weinstein raised the question. His paper reporting the verification of the hypothesis was quashed - but the researcher who criticized and stopped it went on to win a Nobel Prize with the research.The Drug industry, the Academic peer review process, the Press are all complicit in a collective suppression of this story.WHY? Years and years of research would have to be THROWN OUT and Drug studies costing billions of dollar would necessarily come under scrutiny.
$$$$$$$$ = suppression of bad news
