I know I shouldn’t be surprised but it’s was just one conspiracy theory after another. Given the paucity of actual news I guess people are going to speculate but it all seems a bit mad. Seems to be a lot of claims, and video footage, that show the explosion happening on the other side of the road to the vehicle. Like a lot of things nowadays, you just can't tell if its doctored 'fake news' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally, you can wade through the nonsense and actually find something concrete but in this instance it all seems like unreliable versions of events. You’d have thought there’s be more clarity from the authorities by this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is that he consumes information that I don't and from sources that I don't. Access wasn't the right word - I meant in as much as he can call upon it, the same way I can call on stuff I've read. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's terrible that "alternative facts" have completely infected people's reading of current events. Ok, the LHO theory for the JFK murder was BS but I think too many folks watched the X-files when they were young and are far too susceptible to David Ike levels of conspiracy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see a young family there denied of their father who was about to embark on an important career of public service. This disease does NOT only take elderly people withering away in care homes as many people would like you to think. Sadly there will be thousands like this throughout the world. This is why it makes me so angry when people try to underplay the seriousness of this which also in turn leads people to help the spread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not know his medical history, so grasping at this to bolster one narrative or another is not prudent. Statistically, he was in more danger from the flu than covid. Of course, when your number is drawn, statistics are worth feck all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It was just COVID." "LSU Health Shreveport Chancellor G.E. Ghali said Letlow died from a heart attack following a procedure related to the infection." They also state that he died as a result of their actions... do no harm, indeed. This is also the head of a team who treated him with Remdesivir, which has been completely invalidated as a useful covid treatment. I'd be calling the lawyers in were I related to him.

Not personal experience but the inhaler i was given 10 years ago and have never used has really come back to bite me.

sne Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Quote The Senate on Friday joined the House to override President Donald Trump’s veto of a sweeping military policy bill, delivering the first such blow to Trump just weeks before he leaves office. The Senate voted 81 to 13 to approve the $741 billion National Defense Authorization Act, achieving the two-thirds majority required to defeat the veto. The House overrode the veto on Monday by a vote of 322-87. As a result, the legislation will become law. Trump vetoed the measure on Dec. 23 after lawmakers refused to include his request to add a provision repealing an internet liability law known as Section 230 that protects social media companies. The previous eight vetoes issued by Trump had been allowed to stand. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/congress-overrides-trump-s-veto-first-time-major-military-bill-n1252652 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It was just COVID." Whenever I read that some young person 'had no underlying conditions' yet croak by a sars virus, I'm thinking it's more in the street of 'no known underlying conditions'. I had a super infection in my throat this year and was very sick. Woke up in the middle of the night and could not breath at all. The super infections are fecking lethal. Scared the feck out of me. I got through it mind, even if it ironically wasn't covid but another virus. Anyway, I'm rambling. My point is just that I don't wanna trivialise covid. But for those in their 20-30s it's rare to die of covid without underlaying conditions. It simply isn't normal for a fit 20-30 year old to die from an infection or respiratory virus. So I'd stake my art collection he had an underlying condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
