the no-nonsense, nothing-but-the-facts-m'am C19 thread

[bad hammy]

Of course I get all of my facts on YouTube, who doesn't??

[bambam1729]

I've watched T&F on YouTube

Listen to Classics (and non) on Youtube

I've watched MLB live games on YouTube

I've learned how to suture, lay tile, put on a trailer hitch receiver, skin and quarter a deer, and a whole bunch of other useful things on YouTube.

I listen to the Bible on Youtube.

I've watched recitals, weddings, funerals, sermons, graduations, State playoffs on Youtube.

Yes, Youtube hosts all manner of nonsense and they are well known for censorship but it is also an insanely vast library of endless good, useful and important things.

No-nonsense facts are presented in that video. Check it out.

Learned how to suture? Why and what for?

Learned how to suture? Why and what for?

I bought a kit...and there are tons of YT videos showing the different techniques.

I've entered a phase where I hike, hunt, and do some ranch stuff in remote places...and you just never know. I want to be able to at least to be a stop-gap. Animals get injured too so...
just in case?

The kits fit nicely in my hiking backpack.

It will stay a yes/no question. Without the Chinese allowing anyone to investigate hard science…Unless there is a deep throat.

Some officials briefed on the intelligence said that it was relatively weak and that the Energy Department’s conclusion was made with “low confidence,” suggesting its level of certainty was not high. While the department shared the information with other agencies, none of them changed their conclusions, officials said.

New Data Links Pandemic’s Origins to Raccoon Dogs at Wuhan Market (yahoo.com)

An international team of virus experts said Thursday that they had found genetic data from a market in Wuhan, China, linking the coronavirus with raccoon dogs for sale there, adding evidence to the case that the worst pandemic in a century could have been ignited by an infected animal that was being dealt through the illegal wildlife trade.

When last I read, we very nearly had a Chinese Brockovich of sorts (I don't remember her name). She tried to sound the alarm in November or December 2019, but was silenced. She ultimately died from the virus.

All of a sudden, Communist China had a black market? I don’t think so.

Raccoon dogs! Says China. That's rich!
