    It seems that there is the epoch times which you cite and the Epoch time(registers trademark) this has entirely different stories. @Peter Renfro

    Yep Al you are absolutely correct, another liberal source right? Please tell me just what is objectionable to you about Wiki? Because it is crowd sourced and reviewed?
    Did you even bother to take your ass over to the Wiki site to see what it had to say? I know it will be hard for you because there are no pictures and it runs several paragraphs long. If you had bothered you would see a column of links,citations and references backing the information given.( Hint, if it is in blue click it and it will take you to the origin)
    I can guaranfrickentee you that you just rejected my post out of hand with out even looking.
    Willful ignorance,is not becoming to anyone,but seems to be a trend for regressives. What are you scared of? That truth might smack you upside the head? T

    @Peter Renfro Anybody can stick stuff in wiki. But you missed the whole point. you know pete for someone who claims to be so knowledgeable you're as ignorant as the donkey you worship. There are 2, Yes 2, versions on the Epoch Time but you're not intelligent enough to se that. Go back home and take a nap.

    Actually, Peter and Al, think both of you need to read Ken's thread about "putting people down in the forum". It definitely isn't very advisable!

    This covid or CCP virus or any other name you want to put on it. The numbers are coming out that people of retirement age are the people this is directed to ward. There is more and more proof coming out that in was design and not natural. The biggest problem is most of the information you receive is coming from the medical system who were all involved with the production of this virus and they do not want to incriminate themselves. The media is causing a panic because they want people to think with feeling and not logic. More people die every day of cancer, heart conditions, diabetes, and Alzheimer but it is not in the news media hourly\daily\weekly death counts. They are using fear to make people do stupid things like lock up the healthy and put infected people into retirement homes. When people wake up I only hope that this medical system who is propagating this deception is destroyed.

    Sorry Martin but I'm not buying the "old people as a target" conspiracy. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that the Chinese released the virus (perhaps accidentally), but I believe older people simply have more underlying illness that make them more susceptible to dying from the virus.

    Here in Georgia the cases are spiking after reopening, but the deaths and hospitalizations are trailing off. Not because of more testing, but because they are witnessing a higher percentage of positives in the tests that are being conducted.

    We culled some of the old people early on.;) Seriously, my guess is the older folks, and those with preexisting conditions, are still being extremely cautious. You don't see many older people out and those that are, are wearing masks.

    The interesting thing is the hot spot in Georgia, in terms of deaths per 100K population and hospitalizations, has always been in one rural area of south Georgia. They tracked the outbreak to a large funeral early on, when no one was paying much attention, and it spread to the neighboring counties rapidly.

    Yes Beth having a good immune system is a benefit. and studies showed that in Italy 97% had other ailments.
    In the US 50% are obese, large population with diabetes, large population with high blood pressure and that is in the average population not just the elderly.

    Here is something really interesting to try.
    This has been circulating all over facebook, so some of you might have already heard of this. Type in ANY three-digit number and the words “new cases”, and you will get whole pages showing that exact number of covid cases , no matter what numbers you put in the search.

    Trump needs to kick Dr. Fauci to the curb too. It's not a virus response, it's a Democrat campaign gimmick.

    OMG.
    I can't belive so many are to argue over this dam virus. Who gives a rats ass who, where or how it came about at this point?
    Everybody needs to do their part in keeping themselves and others well best as expected.
    Just read local news a spike in cases is almost three times what it was last week.
    Yes we can get sick or die of other things...this virus is just quicker at it.
    I have been masked ,but out and around and with family members this week.
    I am done gonna stay put for a bit and order on line and grocery pick up again for a while. I do have health issues so that is one reason- the other is for my own piece of mind.
    I have no doubt about the origin of this virus...I think the whole thing was planned- regardless the Beast had been set free to invade- it is our job to Kill it off.

    I just heard an epidemiologist explain one of the ways in which the COVID-19 numbers are obtained. He said that if you test positive, then you're quarantined for two weeks, and go in for another test because you want to get back to work or whatever, and you test positive again, you are counted as two people. Some people have been counted as four people because they have been tested four times.

    Popularized by Mark Twain, the saying, “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics” fits the current virus craze perfectly. When you add the fact that people who have never even been tested are counted among the COVID-19 statistics, and people who die of something wholly unrelated to this particular virus, such as the flu, are said to have died of COVID-19, the numbers should be laughed at rather than taken seriously.

    Then, there’s this.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledged Thursday that it is combining the results from viral and antibody COVID-19 tests when reporting the country’s testing results, despite marked differences between the tests. -- MSN News
