The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Foxx replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
interesting article from one of Luxembourg's leading media outlets. LEADING GERMAN VIROLOGIST“So far, no transmission of the virus in supermarkets, restaurants or hairdressers has been proved.” RTL Today joined a press conference of virologist Hendrik Streeck on Tuesday and here we provide a recap of his key statements. Mr Streeck is a professor for virology and the director of the Institute of virology and HIV Research at the University Bonn. He explained the methodology of his new study in Heinsberg, the “epicentre” of Germany’s COVID-19 outbreak, and talked about potential plans for a country to move forward gradually in getting back to a “normal” life. During recent weeks, his team completed substantial research conducted through surveys and investigations in homes across the Heinsberg region - where more than 1,400 confirmed cases had been reported. Heinsberg has an approximate population of 250,000 inhabitants and has confirmed 46 coronavirus-related deaths. These research findings have already provided some indication on how the virus works, as Streeck clarified: “There is no significant risk of catching the disease when you go shopping. Severe outbreaks of the infection were always a result of people being closer together over a longer period of time, for example the après- ski parties in Ischgl, Austria.” He could also not find any evidence of ‘living’ viruses on surfaces. “When we took samples from door handles, phones or toilets it has not been possible to cultivate the virus in the laboratory on the basis of these swabs….” “To actually 'get' the virus it would be necessary that someone coughs into their hand, immediately touches a door knob and then straight after that another person grasps the handle and goes on to touches their face.” Streeck therefore believes that there is little chance of transmission through contact with so-called contaminated surfaces.

The fact that COVID 19 is a droplet infection and cannot be transmitted through the air had previously also been confirmed by virologist Christian Drosten of Berlin's Charité. He had pointed out in an interview that coronavirus is extremely sensitive to drying out, so the only way of contracting it is if you were to “inhale the droplets.” However, there are different findings on how the coronavirus spreads. Experts from the US Institute of Health CDC and NIH had come to the conclusion that the virus can survive 24 hours on paper, three hours in aerosols and up to three days on plastics and stainless steel. As the Robert Koch Institute states on their website, however, scientific studies like this are realised under experimental conditions, which is why they are not very representative for the risk of transmission in daily life. ... -

quarantine is when you restrict the movement of sick people. tyranny is when you restrict the movement of healthy people. -

the thing is, that before big tobacco came along and injected all kinds of chemicals into tobacco, there is a good amount of antidotal evidence that it can actually be beneficial for you. -

pronouns don't have to be pronouns. the important thing is what you identify as. ***** the aliens, they are just going to want to probe urananus anyways. -

i had a good piece from voltairenet.org that was about certain things he said that I held back because of the source. not sure some here are ready for the subject matter. i know... when have i let that stop me previously...

it would not surprise me in the slightest either, if the virus was released intentionally. i guess where we might differ is the belief of who is to blame. i believe it was the globalists in a strike against the nationalists. for, with all that is currently upon the world stage at the moment, it would seem that the globalists are losing their once held predominant grip.

in a democrat's wet dream, yes. otherwise... not so much. if when you were born, you stood to pee, chances are you are a male. sorry but that is just the truth of the matter, no dress is ever going to change that. there is no amount of lipstick you can put on a pig that will alter biology. -
you're an idiot.

i was thinkin' more along the lines of governments historically manipulating their citizens to turn their neighbors in. this is not conspiracy stuff either, it is generally considered proven fact. -
