    Now all humanity is fighting (with severe losses to economy( with virus that have RNA with information capacity equal around 30 kilobytes of code. Similar to small command line DOS era utility.

  • Concerned with global warming and all this biomass horrors?

    Microorganisms are a major force behind the nutrient and energy cycles in the world’s oceans and constitute more than 90% of the living biomass in the sea. It is estimated that viruses kill approximately 20% of this biomass per day.

    And no one shut oceans down despite such scary thing.

  • Smartphones do not work good for real tasks

    Computer monitor sales jumped almost 2x during the first 2 weeks of March, while mice and keyboard sales grew 10%, and notebook PCs also saw a 10% increase. The shift to working from home has also breathed new life into categories that were in decline, such as web cameras. With consumers embracing big screens and dual monitor setups, the first two weeks of March saw 80,000 units sold at retail – double that of the same timeframe in 2019.

  • No need for healthy to wear face masks, says WHO after review. Organisation says no evidence that wearing a mask outdoors prevents Covid-19 infection.

    We will really need new Nuremberg tribunal.

  • War between society and closed professionals circles

    And for now society is loosing.

    Thing is, modern society is being tough to behave like children. Trust the authority. No questions asked.

    We really need to stop doing this, as coronavirus shown us that professionals lie, make staggering errors and lot of crimes. And we are not sure if some of them even act in the interests of society.

    All this masks thing, ventilators craze and war on hydroxychloroquine must make you stop and think, start using your own head.

  • yes the fuxing bueaucrats who control the strings are murdering people. Here in Mexico, the govt is preventing the sale of hydroxy. There using the excuse that people with lupus won't have access to the drug, and always have some bleeding heart story accompanying the antihydroxy story. Hydroxy appears to be most effective at the very beginning of symptoms, which compounds the crime because of it's lack of access. So the choice seems to be stay home and recover, or stay home and die.

  • @kurth

    Initial numbers for late March and early April show unprecedented rise in suicides in all countries. It is expected that number of people dead in suicides can be as much as 10x higher than coronavirus victims.

  • Mordor news

    Largest sports apparel company with 500 of large shops sacked all people without following any laws. They told that can give each of them only $141 and they are free to live happily. They do not expect to hire anyone back for 4-5 months.

  • Apple wants now to make simple face shields

    https://twitter.com/tim_cook/status/1246916489589837824

    1 million per week, no one knows who needs this in such amount.

    Face shield is made to avoid splashing of things and chemical damage, not to avoid eyes virus infection.

    Tell this to Tim, someone.

  • @Vitaliy....an article today of an american middle aged couple who were convinced they had corona and double suicided. Turned out they had a cold ! What can you say ? Patience is a virtue ?

  • @kurth

    Thing that all media are doing now is making extreme stress situation - showing great danger and lack of any visible solution. If you check any war propaganda - goal is always opposite, even in worst situation it must look like victory is near.

    This is why Trump had been attacked for hydroxychloroquine (you can't give people hope!), this is why ventilators are so promoted (as everyone see them not as solution but sign of danger), and why masks are so downplayed.

    We now have something like Malthusianism that guide all media and elites. They feel that they can finally get closer to their dream, and it is up to society to prove them wrong.

  • Suitable quote:

    1. Never play with insurrection, but when beginning it realise firmly that you must go all the way.
    2. Concentrate a great superiority of forces at the decisive point and at the decisive moment, otherwise the enemy, who has the advantage of better preparation and organisation, will destroy the insurgents.
    3. Once the insurrection has begun, you must act with the greatest determination, and by all means, without fail, take the of offensive. "The defensive is the death of every armed rising."
    4. You must try to take the enemy by surprise and seize the moment when his forces are scattered.
    5. You must strive for daily successes, however small (one might say hourly, if it is the case of one town), and at all costs retain "moral superiority".

    V. Lenin

    Note how it also matches present elites offensive.

    One thing that people need to realise is that failure of current plans can actually be death of present elites.

  • "In Michigan, African Americans make up 14% of the population, but they account for 33% of the coronavirus cases and 41% of deaths, figures from the state health department showed on Monday. White residents account for about 23% of recorded cases in Michigan and 28% of deaths, according to the data."

    It's not that the disease itself affects people differently based on their racial background, it's that the Coronavirus is going to hurt the poor much more, and centuries of racial discrimination has made sure that black americans are disproportionately more poor than their white counterparts. They're more likely to still be working 'essential' jobs than white counterparts who have the benefit of working from home in predominately office jobs. Their communities have less resources, their hospitals are more overtaxed and underfunded, they're more likely to be uninsured because they're more likely to be unemployed, because insurance is tied to employment.

    Not to mention that most of the Black Americans dying in Chicago also are likely more clustered together in smaller living spaces, while the Whites have larger homes with yards and an appropriate space to social distance, while also having amenities much closer to them, as Black and Poor communities tend to have 'food deserts' and have to travel 2-5 miles further to gather necessities than their white counterparts.

  • Number of Coronavirus Cases in US Military Soars by Nearly 50% in 3 Days: Pentagon

The figure for hospitalised military personnel now stands at 1,435 confirmed with 37 recovered, the Defense Department added.
  • If you ask me - it is very bad video. With unnecessary time spent on obsiout things and without clear simple proposals.

    • Do not listen to any pro looking professionals now - wear a mask, from surgical to 3M
    • Fully forget shit about distancing, it helps but not in real situations like shops and similar

    All this idea with distancing comes from abstract scientists who performed experiments with people standing at predeterminated distances. In reality you are not standing still for 10 minutes during distancing, you are moving and all other people are moving, going into micro droplets clouds - and all this shitty idea becames obsiously fake proposal.

    Some is true for constant mention of ventilation systems and touching stuff. It is all nice, but makes tiny contribution in real life.

  • Sadly dr campbell looks like he's suffering from cabin fever. He's giving more energy now to monetizing his channel rather than thinking logically about disease. It's old news that corona is aerosolized. And he ignores any deacceleration of these droplets from the moment they leave the mouth, and he also ignores that sneezes and coughs give people a warning to move...quickly ! And as I've been saying, most of these surgical masks aren't working for defense. Then it ends with his real desire to be a moviestar.
