    Plot Edit

    Many of Springfield's residents purchase "Juice Looseners" through the mail, which are inefficient and loud juicers built in Osaka and shipped from there. One of the assembly line workers has the flu and coughs into the box destined for Homer, filling it with airborne germs. When the Juice Looseners arrive in Springfield, the Osaka Flu hits the town and many of the townspeople are affected by the illness. Due to exhaustion from having to look after the rest of her ill family, Marge accidentally forgets to pay for Grampa's bottle of bourbon when shopping at the Kwik-E-Mart. She is then arrested for shoplifting.

    Alabama? That's not quarantine; that's penal.

    Thanks for pointing this out. I'm no fan of dear leader. However, many in our media maintain a safe distance from truth.

    "hoax" or not, I'm happy our politicians have noticed they should be doing something. Hopefully enough of them figure out it's important to work together on covid19. Best time, besides a month ago, is today.

    I, too, totally buy the idea that if a Democrat were president conservative media would not be politicizing the ever loving shit out of this situation. Surely, if you went through Fox's archives or Trump's own tweets from the ebola crisis you won't find a single example of them politicizing that event. Surely.

    Flashback: In April of 2009, the H1N1 became a pandemic.

    But it wasn't until six months later, October, that then-President Obama declared a public health emergency on what was already a pandemic. By that time, the disease had infected millions of Americans and more than 1,000 people had died in the U.S.

    Imagine the outrage if Trump delayed response to the same extent....

    Why do anti-vaccine morons belong in a thread about a virus that has no vaccine? Seems out of place. And a outbreak like this is also something a anti-vaccine moron would use in a argument against vaccines.

    Side note- a friend of mine is a somewhat prominent science based social media influencer who recently went undercover at a anti-vaccine conference.

    If fucked him up. He’s in a bad depressed state of hopelessness.

    Here you go, this is shared by one of the less loud anti-vaxxer in my area on FB from somebody named Stephen Buhner on Jan 23rd

    Corona virus treatment. I have an analysis of how corona viruses infect tissues, what tissues they infect, and the herbs that are useful to interrupt that process, as well as the herbs useful to shut down the cytokine cascade they create on pages 52-55 of Herbal Antivirals. It is useful reading in that it can inform treatment from a knowledgeable place (there are also some suggestions, not often used by medical professionals, for specific pharmaceuticals that have been found to be useful). Here is a sample protocol. Please note it is rather more extensive than the ones i normally suggest, this is because the particular corona virus that is now spreading world wide is exceptionally potent in its impacts. Again, this is only a suggested protocol, but all the herbs are specific in one way or another for this virus. A number of the herbs are strongly antiviral for corona viruses. In general, I would only begin using these formulations IF there is good reason to believe that the virus is entering your area. The formulations are preventative as well as specific for acute infections, the only alteration is the dosage. Three tincture formulations and one tea.

    Core tincture formulation: Baikal skullcap (3 parts), japanese knotweed root (2 parts), kudzu (2 parts), licorice (1 part), decocted elder leaf tincture (1 part). Note, the berry will do i guess but it is about 1/3 as effective as the decocted leaf (which no one sells, you have to make it yourself). Dosage: 1 tsp 3x day, 6x if active infection.

    Immune system, cellular protection, cytokine interruption tincture formulation, supportive for core tincture activity: Cordyceps (3 parts), Dong Quai (2 parts), rhodiola (1 part), astragalus (1 part). Dosage: same as above.

    Cellular protection, cytokine interruption, spleen/lymph support tincture formulation: Dan Shen (3 parts), red root (2 parts), cinnamon (1 part). same dosage as above.

    With active infection: very strong boneset tea, to 6x day.

    I have used this with other corona virus infections, including SARS, it works well.

    If anyone is into herbs for everything (like the idea that there is a combination of herbs that will protect/cure you of anything) then please see my gear swap listing for my rock that protects you from tigers. I’ve been carrying it for years and it has been 100% effective in deterring tiger attacks. No big pharma product or vaccine has a 100% effectiveness so keep that in mind when you see the price.

    Yeah, I loved the part where he said it was effective against SARs because he didn’t get SARs.

    Whatever the asking price, it's a great deal. 100% efficacy doesn't come cheap. Do you have to carry it at all times or is it okay to leave it at home once in a while?

    Well, if you leave it at home, tigers won’t invade, so there is some built in value.
