I'd prefer it be a schematic of getting rid of the dangerously willfully ignorant, and focusing on maintaining or assisting the proactive and thoughtful. Not withstanding the special needs folks, by the way, for whom some of them are not willfully ignorant, but rather afflicted... earning them a pass.

yeah,but then who will mop the floor of the mcdonalds for us? oh right,the unholy cyber fusion of aoc,hillary,and pelosi that will be our overlord...errr...overperson will take our hamburgers away and we'll all be eating community based sustainably farmed salads and whatnot so waaaay too much kale....maybe that trump fellow wasn't so bad after all....:chin:

I think that's where equal pay for equal effort might come into play, at least a lil' bit. Mickey D's can't sell burgers in an unclean, unhealthy environment. Even they are inspected by the Health Dept., so it seems there's some leverage there for those mop-wielders.. Or, maybe the corporatist CEOs can mop their own floors? In between lines of cocaine & martinis, maybe?

But I'd go rainbow chard over kale anyway. Far better density in nutrition value.

i've got a recipe for kale. first, coat the frying pan with olive oil. (this is so the kale will slide out of the pan into the garbage can before step two) then, melt garlic butter & fill pan with shrimp. cook until pink...

I think it's the whole mish-mash of variables, combined at a specific moment in time.

Many of our 'diseases' such as cancer, etc., can be tracked through genetics/conveyance, but lifestyle, diet, physical fitness, what's happening in terms of stressors (cortisol, etc.) all play a role at that moment in time when we face what ever it is.

I'm ordinarily the last person in our house to get ill; everyone else falls prey before me, and that's often how I've known I may be in line for what ever it is. But then changes in the body occur, stressors in life happen, other diseases step up to bat, and suddenly the immune system is almost non-existent. (Speaking from this last spring's experiences...).

I believe, in addition to that, COVID is a unique beast, a truly 'novel virus', that really acts differently in each person, based on viral load, and all the rest of the mix.

I routinely take Vit. D3 in hefty dose, Zinc, Vit C from bioflavonoids, B12, E, Potassium, Magnesium, etc., etc. almost all of them in increased dosage, per age requirements. I've been mostly sticking to a vegan diet that's high in (half-cooked/half-raw) cruciferous veggies, tofu, very little soy protein that's not fermented, etc., cheating a bit when we've gone to the bush, yet the 3rd jab, after leaving me alone long enough to get my town errands done the other day (Wednesday) kicked my ass pretty good; still had chills last night and this morning.

So I think many of these things are the result of a snap-shot in time of where our body (and even mind/emotions) are at, at that moment when we're exposed..

And yeah, sucking down milkshakes and similar, eating unhealthy fats in high volume, refined foods, etc., while being 80 to 120 lbs. overweight, as in Unc's pic, likely is a huge set-up for nasty outcomes, especially if the genetics and the rest are in agreement that it's time to pay some dues.

Gonna' shave to get a good seal on my GVS Elipse P100 mask, in order to go to the post office in our 'village' and send an assortment of recently harvested spuds to a forum member. Then on with chores, including sealing and freezing some of the recent harvest. The resin content was elevated enough that they literally took twice as long to dry, and some are STILL drying after 2 weeks in trays. The down-side to a successful go. Soon to be extracting THC-A extract in order to make the cancer unhappy.

Hopefully you take vitamin K2 too, unless you eat Natto too as vegetarian which is high in vitamin K2.Hospital in Holland found last year that most people in the ICU were low in vitamin K.

Then there's these issues with children and COVID.
Sure not all variables are understood but more is being learned by the day. The problem is not so much this flu-like coronavirus as the fact that these children are already diseased to begin with. They literally socially engineer kids into fat blobs. Now what sort of a country would create a pandemic of the obese in its own children to begin with? Capitalist America, the country that teamed up with Communist China to give the world this virus and the vaccine against it.

How about we instead of putting more poison into the bodies of these poor children recommend CBD oil, excercise and a healthy diet?

Cannabidiol Inhibits SARS-CoV-2 Replication and Promotes the Host Innate Immune Response

Abstract
The rapid spread of COVID-19 underscores the need for new treatments. Here we report that cannabidiol (CBD), a compound produced by the cannabis plant, inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection. CBD and its metabolite, 7-OH-CBD, but not congeneric cannabinoids, potently block SARS-CoV-2 replication in lung epithelial cells. CBD acts after cellular infection, inhibiting viral gene expression and reversing many effects of SARS-CoV-2 on host gene transcription. CBD induces interferon expression and up-regulates its antiviral signaling pathway. A cohort of human patients previously taking CBD had significantly lower SARSCoV-2 infection incidence of up to an order of magnitude relative to matched pairs or the general population. This study highlights CBD, and its active metabolite, 7-OH-CBD, as potential preventative agents and therapeutic treatments for SARS-CoV-2 at early stages of infection.

Summary sentence:
Cannabidiol from the cannabis plant has potential to prevent and inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection

Nobody thinks it is a little strange that none of the potheads here have come on and said "I have WuFlu, I am dying. Bye"? We had one guy say he caught it, and hit the pipe hard, and was cured in 24 hours.

Yet the liberals, and especially commie trolls, keep harping on and on for the vax and restrictions for us non-believers. On a damn weed growing site, where everybody has oodles of good dope.

Id rather be smoking good weed, we know Smokin lots of weed will never harm you. Filling your pie hole with cow dewormer has got to be the dumbest thing I've heard so far. IMO most who smoke weed are smarter than the ave bear. Its not surprising we have not seen any of us die. If you haven't been vaccinated your odds of getting seriously sick/Die are far greater than those that have.

probably has something to do with the fascist rightys making absurd statements like the bolded words....:biggrin:

"one guy said" does not equal "diagnosed by a doctor"

just like me saying i ate green chile every day for the last 2 years and that's why i didn't get sick,anecdotal is not the same as proven using science

The dude said he was diagnosed with the WuFlu, caught it from his other. Posted it here. In the NL, so I can't say for sure. You like to argue, but aren't very good at it. I just repeated what the facts are. Dope is good for you..

I think cannabis is a useful medicine, but it's not a cure all. If I get Covid there is no way I will be smoking, or even vaping anything. I won't do anything that may compromise my breathing.

It's not like the Flu and Covid 18 disappeared. We still get sick from other viruses. There is no cure for the common cold.

chicken soup for the body, a bowl for the soul...

or ginger ale and saltines which i believe is methodist chicken soup:biggrin:

i think making chicken soup and getting high go hand in hand...if you're doing it from scratch that is,just making stock is going to take a few bowl...i mean hours...and at that point you may as well make fresh bread...and really not such a big step to make fresh pasta for noodles or make dumplings...dammit,now i have the munchies

Firsg jab in January, second jab in March, and third jab in September (three days back).
Their proposed schedule calls for six weeks between first and second, then twenty four weeks between second and third.
I am very compromised so I take advantage of all the help available.
The third jab was two hours from phone call to poke in the arm. Waiting for them to call me would have taken a few more months. Ask for the shot and rules get bent.

Each jab caused more discomfort than the one previous. My deltoid actually swelled visibly on this jab, two days after the poke.

Israel is way ahead already on their 4th Jab. Remember; here in the US you will be considered unvaccinated soon if you haven't had your third jab. That means when large numbers of people start dying from the jab the news and Biden admin will say that it is MOSTLY the UNVACCINATED who are dying and spreading the "new variant."
