Reinke Faces Life

An American college student was horrified to learn — too late — that her professor can read all of the ‘private’ messages she sends on Zoom.

The young woman, Faith, has been trading casual messages — with some profanity — with other students, thinking that that the words were kept between them.

But when she received an email from her angry professor, she learned that the educator has been reading what she wrote all along.

One better understand ALL the technology you use.

I was always amazed that coworkers would think that their employer couldn’t see what they were doing on “their” (company) laptop on the company’s network connection.

China tried to patent potential coronavirus drug Remsvidir the DAY AFTER Beijing confirmed virus was transmissable between humans

• On January 21 a patent for commercial use of Remdesivir was filed in China
• The application was made by the top-secret Wuhan Institute of Virology bio-lab
• It is at the centre of concerns about a possible leak of the coronavirus disease
• Leaked documents shown that China officials who knew they faced an epidemic delayed warning the public for six days

By IAN BIRRELL FOR THE MAIL ON SUNDAY

China filed a patent for a drug seen as one of the best potential weapons against coronavirus the day after it confirmed human transmission of the disease.

The revelation that it moved so fast fuels concerns about a cover-up of the pandemic when it erupted in Wuhan last year, and suggests that China’s understanding of the virus was far advanced from the impression given by its public stance.

Last night, Tom Tugendhat, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, joined the growing global clamour for a full, independent inquiry into China’s role.

Circumstantial?

Seems like the WuFlu may have come to the USA via Italy but in my mind there is little doubt where these viruses originate. Now the question is was it a deliberate bio strike by the PRC? No fatalities in Hong Kong or Peking. And this ended the liberty activist demonstrations in HK. This evidence is circumstantial, to be sure, but it all points toward the Wuhan labs. Thanks to the Chinese coverup, we may never have direct, conclusive evidence—intelligence rarely works that way—but Americans justifiably can use common sense to follow the inherent logic of events to their likely conclusion.

Convenient or deliberate?

The concerned CEO made another plea the next day, asking if he could send the home’s suspected coronavirus cases to the field hospital at the Javits Center or the USNS Comfort. No dice, came the answer.

So much for the claims from Gov. Cuomo and his health czar, Dr. Howard Zucker, that overwhelmed facilities just needed to ask for help if handed patients they couldn’t safely handle — thanks to Zucker’s March 25 mandate that all homes accept coronavirus-positive cases.

We expect more damning evidence will surface in the days ahead.

Could someone have made a decision to “write off” the nursing homes to prioritize the hospitals?

I can understand “triage” but then don’t “bury” the evidence.

IMHO the numbers are “fudged” for numerous reasons.  Anything that can be is charged off to the WuFlu.

And politicians and bureaucrats wonder why people don’t trust the Gooferment!

From California to New Jersey, Americans are protesting in the streets. They are demanding an end to house arrest orders given by government officials over a virus outbreak that even according to the latest US government numbers will claim fewer lives than the seasonal flu outbreak of 2017-2018.

Kentucky, a strict lockdown state, is five times more populated than South Dakota, yet it has some 20 times more coronavirus deaths. If lockdown and house arrest are the answer, shouldn’t those numbers be reversed, with South Dakota seeing mass death while Kentucky dodges the coronavirus bullet?

The popular website Eat This, Not That! recently ran an article titled “41 Ways Alcohol Ruins Your Health.” Here is the article’s brief introduction: If you like to have a drink once in a while, chances are you’re having a few more than usual, given the fact that we’re all self-isolating.

*** begin quote ***

Alcohol is a diuretic, and when consumed in sufficient quantities, it leaches water from all over your body, including your brain. The result is often a crippling headache, muscle pain, and a thirst you just can’t seem to quench, no matter how much water or how many sugar- and calorie-packed sports drinks you guzzle down.

Argh!

Maybe I have to become an “abstainer”?

With the stay at home shutdown, I did go for 14 days without a beer.  No reaction one way or the other.

Staying home in quarantine with your loved ones feels like living in a zoo now and then. Nobody said it’d be easy. Meanwhile, the real zoos out there have closed their doors to visitors. And that means that porcupines, cheetahs, rhinos, and all the bestest boys and girls are having no proper social life.

Source: Zookeepers Share How Animals Are Reacting To The Lack Of Visitors

*** begin quote ***

For a lot of our animals, having the ability to interact with guests is actually extremely important. Even for primates to be able to play with kids through the glass, they are missing out on a lot of enrichment. Guests keep a lot of the monkeys entertained. I watch our guests all day long show our marmosets and capuchins selfie cameras and they LOVE to see their reflection. Guests will also show videos on their phones to animals and the monkeys totally enjoy it.

The virus can live on cardboard packaging (e.g. a cereal box) for 24 hours, so if someone else has touched that item and put it back, or sneezed/coughed within six feet of the box, it could be contaminated.

I was thinking about this the other day when in <REDACTED cause I’m sure they all “restock”> and I saw the team member “reverse shopping” (i.e., putting stuff in a basic back on the shelves).

Now I wonder if they hold the stuff out for 24 hours or not?

And, what about the deli products she was “restocking” into the refrigerated “grab and go”?

Hmmm.

Now I’ve always take solace in the 98% never get infected rate, and the high percentage of “never got sick at all” or “just a little sick”.  And, there is so much that is just unknown about the virus, how it transmits (maybe it is by 5G? Laugh!), and who is really at high risk.

Maybe I’m naïve, but I think that the politicians and bureaucrats are totally clueless.  — Although Mario Cuomo seems to be shooting straight on this topic at this time. —  And Doc Fauci may have a political ax to grind — Hence, everything they “plan” must be taken with a LARGE grain of salt.
