Coronavirus 2020

[Dr. MD MD]

I am frankly shocked and surprised at the lack of (((shut it down))) memes. What’s wrong with (((you people)))?

[albrecht]

I'm at home, sitting in my skivvies, pounding code and listening to Alex.   What's up with these "Bubble Cities"?   I'm out of the loop I guess.

Wasn't listening. Only thing I see is that there is some kind of kid SIM game called "Bubble City" that also has some pop song, a "bubble city" in terms of real estate where the values went higher than what normally would be expected (and now could burst,) or like Under the Dome type of situation (like the old arcologies on the moon etc?)

develop a vaccine

Ask yourselves why "strengthening immune systems" isn't a goal here.

Colloidal silver?

[whoozit]

Are there any BellGab TP tycoons?  If so, please share you success.

[Jackstar]

Colloidal silver?

Is that what you think it does?

[ItsOver]

Dayum!

press conference on the tube now.

[albrecht]

Colloidal silver?

Colloidal Silver doesn't boost the immune system. Adherents claim that it kills germs and some make further claims.  FDA etc say most claims of it are bogus and you can turn blue (you recall no doubt the "blue man.)

[Jackstar]

(you recall no doubt the "blue man.)

He was manufacturing it himself, incorrectly, and deliberately overdosing himself. If it could reliably turn a person blue, you'd have a Smurf fetish raging in elementary schools by now.

If it did, it'd be illegal.

   Somehow I doubt the Smurf Fetish would be limited to elementary schools.
Yeah, I had a friend who used to make it back when Art's and other show's advertisers were extolling it. Something with 9volt batteries as I recall. Strangely enough he died of cancer (though I'm not claiming it was his homemade Colloidal Silver to be blamed.) He was into Tangy Tangerine, some kind of grass (wheat grass?,) and various other strategies heard on shows. Not blaming those either.

I've heard that you should buy, or make, locally produced honey as the honey the bees make from local pollen is key (this is with regard to allergy fighting and strengthening immune system not with regard to cancer or other claims.)

Somehow I think a lot of SF residents will consider what businesses, activities, and/or transactions are "essential" than much of the other parts of the country.

The Manuka honey only comes from New Zealand. Get 20+ or don't bother for health support. Minimum 12+ or it's a complete robbery.

This one is mighty tasty, but I'm aware of no health benefits in particular. It's still worth seeking out. Creamy!

With your terrible study habits and incessant craving for cock, it's a wonder that you ever got three doctorates.
