    All I've seen so far is that the WHO doesn't have proof you can't get reinfected yet, not that there's solid evidence that you can be.

    I’d love to hear some American TiB members’ opinions on this:

    Probably need to wait for more information on this one. The FBI doesn't conduct a raid based on just a Facebook post; I'll be curious to see what else they have.

    When they call their business a Medical “Spa”, no further explanation is needed.

    That’s thing. I didn’t know if that was territorial/alternative name for “clinic”.

    ...if it said “clinic”, this would probably be blowing more skirts up. But “spa” sounds it’s run by a “doctor” who never wears shoes or socks and wears kung-fu shirts to work.

    I thought the best bet here is some fly-by-night quack conning naive locals.

    Ford says they plan on realessing a “re-opening” plan for Ontario. I guess other provinces may be as well. Have you heard about this, or had any part with them?

    There was almost triple the new cases and triple the new deaths since then. There was also a trend towards the lowering of new cases, and now they've skyrocketed back up almost exactly two weeks later. I'm not sure what you are trying to show with this data?

    I've heard of it, but have no details.

    But the messaging we're getting from our contacts is that yes, they are putting together a plan, but there are no dates attached to it. The plan is based on values that show up via testing, so once the testing is being done at the required scale, and the data coming in from that testing is what they need it to be, then they start the plan.

    Makes perfect sense to have something roughed out and ready to go, but just not pull the trigger yet.

    Really, the whole pandemic should have been handled like that from the very beginning... and that's part of what Obama tried to get going... get some solid logistics and planning figured out and on the shelf rather than have to try and figure shit out while you're in the middle of it.

    Lesson learned, hopefully.

    So people are calling to ask if they can drink Bleach.

    A product that is the actual sarcasm go-to when describing something you don’t want to ingest. I mean... it even has PICTURES on it if you’re too stupid to read words... y’know, all the skeleton hands on the label not enough of a red flag on fire for you, Helen Keller?

    Dcc Edit: you know the rules. While constructive criticism and unfettered discussion is the entire point of this board, I’m pretty sure slinging “cunt” and “faggot” never did much to open the to door to discourse.

    Smarten up.

    I am. If others want to pretend that it bothers them they can feel free. But we all know how we act when we’re in our own living rooms.

    Dcc Edit: This isn’t your living room and you know better.
