    "Coronavirus" isn't one thing it's a category. Covid-19 is a coronavirus (the sort common in animals) that made the jump to humans. As viruses do occasionally.

    What does treating a cow for a category of virus have to do with "crashing the global market" (which is not happening)

      There are several identified serotypes of Coronavirus.

      My favorite type involves twelve cold bottles resting in a small metal bucket...as I'm sitting outside.

        Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.

          This is sort of off to the side of the Coronavirus, but we're living in an era where it's extremely important to be careful about what you believe online. This next year or two is going to be truly outrageous in terms of manipulated news, down to and including video that is fully doctored and shared on social media in order to dupe people.

          This virus is probably smallish in the scope of things, but when I read posts like the one above all I can think about is how it's imperative--and I can't stress this enough--that we start logging off social media because it's polluting our thoughts.

            So. You know that cow vaccines likely don't work in people. And at least haven't been tested as safe to use in humans.

            The main reason is that they were developed for, you know, a cow. Cows are what's known as a different species.

            You give CLA to a cow, you get a ripped, lean cow. Give CLA (available at GNC stores) to people, you get expensive pee. Cow =/= People

                I admitted a guy once for pneumonia and described that he failed outpatient treatment. I didn't mention that said treatment came from Rural King.

                  Sources: The Ivy League has cancelled its conference tournament due to coronavirus. Regular season champion Yale will go to the NCAA Tournament.

                    The Ivy fought a conference tournament for years and just relented two or three years ago to having one.

                    Probably a blessing for many administrators in the Ivy who see the tournament as wickedly unnecessary anyway.

                      I guess you guys missed the point about this being a big hoax and the media keeps fanning the flames..
                      What is the hoax exactly?

                      As for the "crashing the stock market," the market has been volatile of late, "Crashing" one day "surging" the next. (like today).

                        Sigh...

                        Guys, it's not the media - they're just reporting on what the CDC is saying. If you're gonna say the CDC is spreading a hoax, then have at it, but the whole thing isn't just a media narrative.

                          Oh. I just assumed the info you've posted in this thread came from Facebook, because it looks like Facebook stuff.

                          And I'm not down on Facebook or anything. I like it as a place to see people's baby pictures and catch up on high school buddies.

                          As a news source though there are major problems with it, and (this is just me personally) I basically dismiss everything I read on there that pertains to the world at large.

                            That uncle story he posted a few stories up has made the rounds on Facebook already. He's either downplaying his social media reading or he's getting email forwards.

                              Berea College just decides to shut down because of the virus.

                              Seems a tad much.
