[conspire] (forw) Not quite getting it

[Texx]

Some of what you said, I will have to debate in private because I dont want
to start a flame war here.
There is a lot of stuff that is branded as "junk science" because it
doesnt come out of big pharma and I will debate you in private on those
points.

Cloroquin, I agree with you on and am very dubious about it.  Poisonings
noted.

I did read the article you mention and I read several others.
Im dubious of getting all my info from one source (You have preached that)
And one of my data sources disappeared, hence my retraction on one point
last night.

There is this chicken vs the egg thing.
Lots will die to be sure.
When the economy tanks, even more will die even if they dont get sick.
By the way, Ive felt the exonomic numbers deserved a large correction
before this happened, but I didnt want a 1929 type of crash.

I was hopeful about numbers yesterday morning.
Since my post, I have learned more and Im very pessimistic about the
numbers now.

Whats going on in the world is bad, but I have to worry locally first as
locally makes the difference between me living and not.
I know it sounds crass but its true.

On a lighter note, there is recent quote from Anthony Fauci about not being
able to throw Trump to the ground when he mis speaks.
I notice that hes the only one in the government who can contradict the
president without getting fired.
