Are you sure ? I don’t know myself ; did you see footage of the events unfolding or something ?

I understand what you’re saying , but if the kid is that out of control , it may have been necessary in order to establish control over the situation. Are you suggesting that they should have employed other means to gain custody of her ? Are you a cop ? I’m not and have never been in that situation So I would refrain from judging —AND RIOTING—until more facts are made public . Please don’t misunderstand , I’m not attacking you , I’m just saying that people jump to conclusions too damn quick — I sort of did too when I referred to them as “idiots” , not knowing anything about their motives , right ?And , you sorta called me on it , which is completely legitimate . But at least I didn’t riot cuz I assumed the police used excessive force when it may have been totally justified !!

Yeah, great clip ;whats wrong with Prager U VH? Never heard of it before

Nah, he lost cuz the Dems cheated!! lol

Unbelieveable , anyone know what these idiots are ritoing about this time?

Yeah , I hate to admit it cuz she’s a moron , but I would !!

BTW, you serious about the seafood place and the airport thing? Have you , like, been to Singapore? If so, totally cool!!

Yes, I'm sure youre right, To my chagrin

Hey, I;ve seen alot of fat guys at the gym , and, despite exercising like mad, stay fat!!!

Or, we can just say: Fix your problem(i.e., ending the wet markets) and if it costs anything (dont see why it would but, to concede to your assumption that it would) , then Add it to our tab!!

Well , Im sure there’s plenty of ignorance from both sides to go around

They BOTH played a lot of golf ; I just looked it up . Difference is though , That in terms of job performance , Trump kicked butt while Obama sucked !! Lol

Hmm...Many would argue that description is more fitting for the Dems myself included. Nice to be moderate , though, and I would argue the vast majority of members on here would fall under that category, myself included.

Do you know that for a fact ?

Intimating it originated in the US due to that nursing home data is, though ; as I said, not likely all based on the way events unfloded

It also, seems to be veery well supported by his peers accdording to the article, wouldnt you say? Make sense to me

Except Obama , who was pretty notorious for bein out on the course a time or two himself !!

Sorry, yutube clip, not article. I did check it out, but doesnt make sense. This take splace in is July ,2019. Knowing what we know about the high transmissibility of COVID-19, IF this was indeed the same virus, would have spread like wildfire immediately in US, which it did not do till aroun march of 2020 after tracing exposures back to those travelling to/from Wuhan, China. Also, entire world would have enacted travel bans to/from US which they did not do; they did, however, do that in regards to China. Also, I just trhought of something from your previous post. You say that you get tired of people hammering news and articles as fake , yet when it fits their "narrative" then, its suddenly real. Isnt that kind of what you just kind of did with the Spanish Flu article I posted? I ididnt write the article; I read it; moreover, its from (I think) a fairly reputable and non-poltitical source, National Geographic. Yes, you discount everything that they say and dismiss because it doesnt fit "your narrative" right? It doesnt matter if China missed the first wave , why are you arguing that? The point is, they had immunity conferred to them due to previous exposure from Spanish flu; Therefore, looks like maybe it originated there!! As this article demonstrates, this is only a theory--why then are you so quick to dismiss it?

What narrative do I have and what side am I on? I am on noones side, my friend , except for those who are in search of the Truth. And , like i said , the Spanish flu thing-- as is the the Plague--is just a theory. Having said that, if you ask me if I believe it? Yup!! I will read your article, though , thanks for the info...

No, it is the fault of the place in which it originated if the same practices which led to its development and manifestation are continued . China has known ,for quite some time now, about the correlation between the wet markets and species-jumping viral diseases, yet they persist in conducting and holding such markets...it is now time to finally stop IMHO

Ill have to verify what you say about SARS; I believe it was Wuhan but even if not, still China according to you, right ? In reference to Spanish Flu, the theory is that it originated from Chinese workers present in Europe at the time. Again, hasnt been completely verified ( who can know for sure anyway?) but, thats whats believed to be the case. Apparently, your contention (that Spanish flu never reached China in first wave ) is incorrect; or at least, it appears to be according to this article: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/1/140123-spanish-flu-1918-china-origins-pandemic-science-health/#:~:text=In the new report%2C Humphries finds archival evidence,(Related%3A Here's what coronavirus does to the body.) Finally , in ref to the Black Plague: Yes, seriously, from China As I clearly stated in my original post, this is not proven, its just a theory. Sorry if that upsets you , but based on the apparent historical pattern here , I'm a firm believer in the old adage "where theres smoke theres fire"; so, if you heard that the snake from the old Testament also came from Wuhan, I'd be inclined to be believe it!! lol

Correct, nobody does but thats not what I'm talking about here . DD raised that issue in response to my assertion that the Chinese--due to their continual reckless wet markets practices-- have been responsible for a GREAT deal of species jumping respiratory viral transmissions historically . Certainly not all , of course , but many... yes, I would say so.

"COVID19 most likely first came into America on the East Coast via Europe; not West Coast via China. "- DD No, I'm referring to the Chinese and stand by my earlier remarks. This is why: COVID Did not likely oroginate from Europe as you content, but from Wuhan. The first documented case in US was from a guy in Washington who just got back from Wuhan ,China SARS originated in Wuhan, China in 2004 (I think thats the year, not sure though) Now if by "they" you meant white europeans, then yeah "theyve been doing this shit for a long time...". -DD I understand what youre saying in terms of smallpox but the common cold ? Where is your evidence that that was transmitted from White settlers to the Indians and also, that it devsatated them. Likely it was present long before , I would imagine, right? Never heard that Additionally, there is MORE evidence that Plague (i.e., black death) ALSO originated in Wuhan, China , although it is not proven. So, it appears that They HAVE been doing this shit for a very long time IMHO

That sucks!!! I am so sorry!! hope it all works out and shes found safe-n-sound

Whats the difference in terms of the variant naming currently and the way Trump named the original? Virus originated in China; perhaps it would have been better to refer to it as some sort of Wuhan strain, as someone on here previously suggested is standard protocol , IDK. But then again, a bunch of respiratory viruses historically, have originated there anyway, so many would have the same moniker but a different number after it , I guess, lol. Theyre even saying now, that experts believe Spanish Flu originated in Wuhan too!! So, theyve been doing this shit for a long time...
