#2 But people who don't believe in church will screech if you don't accept their scripture of the day.

#3 Back and forth, masks/no masks.

But, if the virus can live at 98.6°F/37°C....

#4 I see mostly old people truculently not wearing masks. I wear one so the compliance nazis will punch someone else.

#7 The researchers concluded that using chemicals rather than heat to disinfect would be the best way to go.

#8 To paraphrase: If the Army wanted me to have a mask, they would have issued me one.

#9 Everybody gonna die. Some now, some later. I had a good friend who didn't drink or smoke and adult onset leukemia took him in 9 months. Strictly an anecdote, but he's still dead.

#13 "The study, according to Newsweek, has not yet been peer reviewed or published in a scientific journal and should therefore not be taken as fact".

#15 weakened or smaller dosing of the virus may result in less lethality even if it doesn't result in less contagion

#16 I think this study was probably generated to be able to justify continuing the lockdowns in spite of temperature increases that will inhibit transmission of the virus.

Kinda like that study in Brazil where they waited until some patients were on the brink of death and then gave them overdoses of HCQ. Surprise!

#17 Magic numbers can be spun out of thin air to "justify" anything.

#18 I've pointed out a few days ago that (IMO) some people in burg don't cope with confinement too well. Otherwise, I can't explain how they missed the message of article: Since standard sterilization methods don't work on this virus, until now people in hospitals have been in danger of infection with, supposedly, sterilized tools. (Maybe the reason so many on respirators die).
Now, I kinda, sorta, think this is important.

#21 Think what #18 just averred. It can't be killed. If that's true we should all be dead.

#22 I can always count on you MM for something totally irrelevant AND totally a product of your imagination. I wondered why Instapundit have thrown you out - no more.

#27 It isn't flying much of anywhere from KSA unless you enlightend eurines are going to allow flights from there. Boosh travel agency isn't operating in America anymore so it's not being imported from there by us.
