Not sure on that and I honestly haven't read anything about it either (other than briefly discussed in some publications). Many people in that region live in less than sanitary environments and culturally they eat almost anything so I guess both could be possible? That might be something that we never truly know.

100% it came from somewhere in or around China based on tracing that has been done and likely that it was transmitted bat-human or bat-(other animal)-human. If it was plausible that it originated in a lab, then it would be reported on by legitimate peer-reviewed scientific journals. At this point there is nothing that points to that other than conspiracy theories. Some interesting reads here and in the cited references: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9 https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/05/scientists-exactly-zero-evidence-covid-19-came-lab I don't know if beauty is the best word choice. I'd like to know sooner than later, but I know it took 10+ years for SARS and not nearly as long for ebola tracing.

Gloves often give a false sense of safety. Better off just washing hands often unless you are changing your gloves between everything you touch.

A full ICU is a full ICU regardless of the amount of COVID patients admitted. The point is that there are not enough surge beds if critical COVID cases are admitted. If an ICU is full, that leaves less bed availability for critical COVID and any other medical issue that requires critical care. Increasing numbers of cases leads to increasing need for medical care and strain on health systems.

The Allentown Fair has been cancelled. Doug will have to parking lot pimp at his hotelhouse instead.

Not a bad place to spend the night. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/south-africa-kruger-shalati-train-on-the-bridge/index.html?fbclid=IwAR2iZK92PAK4_MdCRPdSPOYw-n-IqJ7lx26wRAscsYGCMwapmkUfrkJ5MM0

What a fucking failure.

Enough with the fireworks.

From my run a few days ago.

@JFskiDan and @AtomicSkier are the creed fans 😂

Getting higher than Doug.

We’re fucked.

yup. I'd expect a similar trend here. Especially with the pictures of the shit shows that I saw over the last few weeks

Ah. yeah this is the best that I could find quickly. Lots of data to sort through.

Have you tried this? https://www.health.pa.gov/topics/disease/coronavirus/Pages/Cases.aspx

Still better than Florida which had 10,000+ today, but not a good trend.

832 is not good at all...

Cuts of oxygen. LOL. I've worn a mask for 12+ hours during surgeries and have never experienced hypoxia or hypercapnia. These people are freaks.

That is probably more like reality than a dream, sooner than later.

Up.
