Just saw lady who owns the rum bar (chick on left in the vid I posted)

Apparently the government are giving her 4k during the shutdown period. I diddnt pry but I know from experience that pub makes more than that every Friday and Saturday, not including the weekdays.

This virus is gonna fuck up everything I think

Everyone can just fly thru canada on uncle Dana's private jet
if they all get screened they could make it over to vegas
Might be worth it for UFC and ESPN to do so and actually have someting live to watch

but if they are doing quarantine for anybody coming from overseas then ya the event if fuct

dana said they will try to hold events at the UFC vegas arena until shit gets sorted out

I guess they need to start getting fighters on US soil earlier than normal if that is the plan and they wanna keep holding events(I think they should keep going because the spotlight is all theirs for the time being)

I like the apex arena so I'm happy for what we get. I hope everything is good until tony vs khabib. We will see how much pull dana has with Nevada and trump

Lots of links point to this virus being manmade...seems it is easier for most to deny that possibility
Hundreds of billions of dollars, many years of research, and hundreds of thousands of hours in labs have been thrown at creating such things.

I don't think it is a stretch at all.
oddly, any posts like yours just get blown by and little comment
i don't see the link in the article...seems to state the opposite.

All sourced from a month ago as you go farther back, repackaged in blogs and spreading this week so the dates now say its new.
This is the stuff kneeblock kneeblock @jason7Ǯ (your stupid name change!) studies and this a great example of misinformation influencing.
He posts SCOOP. Suddenly resurrected news is NEW again but now its repackaged as Cuba having a breakthrough. Googles algorithm prioritizes hot traffic and all these repackaged blogs take priority on page one over the original news cycle, making it hard to find the original.

Also, this is how influence and innuendo works lol from his workers blog link:








Social media isn't bringing us truth and clarity. It's just layman misinformation that spreads the fastest.

CONSPIRACY.



EDIT -

I'm in the rabbit hole.
When did mickey leland say those words and when did he die?

Death


Words:

LMGTFY.

Oh, the blog made them up???

Never trust someone that can't look you in the eye.


We've been trying to track the misinformation spreading but much like containing an actual virus, it's difficult because of capacity limits.

Last week the big one spreading was you can self test for corona if you hold your breath for 10 seconds and if you drink a lot of water it'll flush the virus out of your system via your digestive tract. I encountered it via FB and Twitter before having my 75 year old stepdad share it in a mass text to a bunch of other folks in their 70s. I had to put the kibosh on that mad quick. This is a time where the public sphere is oversaturated on this topic in general so fact checking is racing to keep up. Ironically, in a moment like this there's a surplus of trust due to high information seeking and the results could be just as deadly if there was a sudden major deficit of trust. Best you can do if you see these dubious reports in your networks is report them to the outlet (trad. or digital media) and continue reporting if it stays up. Also useful to lean on fact checking sites to debunk if you feel like wading in. Twitter and FB I know are working to isolate and remove dubious info.

my FB feed has flipped from irrational denial to irrational panic in two days.

Just read it myself
You are correct

Keep in mind, I think there is a concerted effort to downplay the possibility it is manmade. Of course, I could be incorrect about that.

I have posted tweets and links to articles in this thread about Labs creating viruses such as this...time range 2013-2018...this thread is so big I am not digging to find them now...I will keep posting what I find on that topic.

Main point is, with all the resources put into these labs and bioweapon development and research it really shouldn't be ruled out completely...that seems like wishful thinking to me.
+ Wuhan lab is near the epicenter of the outbreak as we know.
