Thanks for your response 🙂. I think the news on cv can be draining. My husband quit watching the briefings for that reason. I agree that the immunity issues will be something to watch .... my teen calls it “airborne aids”. Time will tell. How are you faring these days? Any residual problems from your and your girlfriend’s recent illnesses?

Late reply by me - The CDC testing screw up cost a lot of lives. I have to believe that better information on COVID-19’s early spread here would have “slapped up side o’ the head” some people here (from some FReepers to some Trump advisors) who discounted the social media reports coming out of Wuhan.

One of my favorite meals at Texas Roadhouse is the 5 oz grilled salmon, green bean, applesauce. It's served with tartar sauce. My wife has a similar order, but chooses a salad sans croutons, cheese or egg with thousand island dressing. Unsweetened ice tea to drink. After tax and tip, often $36 out the door. My entree is 570 calories.

Costco has frozen salmon fillets. Fred Meyer has canned green beans and jarred applesauce. The salmon fillets take 15 minutes in the air fryer for a perfectly cooked result. 3 lbs of fillets are $28. Our diet hasn't changed. It's just less expensive and lacks the escape from the house full of pups for an hour. Our food budget is running 25% compared to eating out.

So those with chronic low blood sugar should be able to fight off the cytokine storms better ?

Per the paper cited by LilFarmer, high blood glucose appears to promote cytokine storms.

There will be fewer sit down restaurants.

Not just because of ‘shutdown’, but because a lot of people will have figured out they’re spending their future retirement nest egg just eating out 3 or 4 times a week. There are a gazillion utube vids on cooking for quarantine now and we subscribed to ‘America’s Test Kitchen’ for 3 months for $1. I guess they’re betting people will re-up and/or buy their books and stuff.

Fast food will probably be OK, eventually. Some of that is tricky to recreate and it’s not the noticeable dent in the wallet.

You know...I read about Baalam’s donkey in the Bible.

I just never DREAMED I’d see a talking ass in real life!

Thank you for making an example out of yourself so that we all get closer to Jesus.

My palms don’t get sweaty, even under fire.

But two can play your rude game...

So you might want to wash your mom’s hand lotion off of your hands, ya talking ass. It’s never a good sign when and old dude like you is on the internet with a handful of mom’s lotion on them.

I just pulled the troubled project across the finish line today. This death march is finished in fine form. The 70 hour weeks should be done for a while.

Nope, nope. I don’t think I will. I’ve got to go trim my toenails. You go dry your palms off.

Gilmore Health being a webpage run by ‘Dr’ Tampiwa Chabani of Lesotho, Botswana, who apparently spent 2 years as some sort of medical aid before declaring himself a doctor.

Luc Montagnier, who is credited as co-discoverer of HIV along with Robert Gallo, has managed to take a detour into the weird world of homoeopathy in years since, including the world of “the memory of water”.

In 2009 he issued a paper in his own non-peer reviewed journal claiming that the DNA of bacteria and viruses massively diluted in water emit radio waves that he can detect.

His device was tested by DARPA, which unsurprisingly was unable to reproduce his claims.

That may all be true, but how did the Cvirus gain segments of the HIV virus?

How did it gain spike proteins that unlock two types of human cells while existing in animals?

...and put your mom’s lotion back before she gets home and catches you again

Remember, you started this with your COMPLETELY disrespectful snot.

But do get the T checked. Really. You might start feeling uncrusty for once in many years. Or you could hit the gym. It helps too, along with avoiding plastics and soy products. Really. I hope it does help.

Curmudgeonism is a VERY real symptom of low T.
Look it up!

I bet you were something in the back of the junior high school bus. You kept them rolling. And I am probably younger than you are. I do hope that you are aware that vulgarity is no substitute for wit.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8230037/Healthcare-exec-deliberately-deleted-files-delay-delivery-PPE-frontline-workers.html

Christopher Dobbins, 40, former vice president at Stradis Healthcare in Atlanta, was fired from the firm on March 2
He then broke into the company’s computer systems and altered 115,581 records and deleted 2,371 files, sabotaging its PPE shipments, said the DOJ
This allegedly caused 72-hour delays in getting masks and gloves to medics
Authorities said he ‘deliberately damaged the ability of healthcare workers’ to effectively respond to the coronavirus pandemic
Healthcare workers have repeatedly warned about shortages of PPE
FBI said Dobbins actions had also impacted the ‘care of at least one person’
Dobbins was released on bond following a court hearing Thursday
