I want to open a store in Hong Kong.

Masks are a joke. Anyone dim enough to buy into that, maybe you can explain to me why it is that if a scarf or procedure mask is all you need to be safe from a virus then why the haz mat suits and BSL4 labs negative pressure environments are necessary? Because real scientists know the reality: trying to stop a virus with a mask is like trying to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence. 

Forget theory, how about fact? I myself was recently in hospital with pneumonia. Which I gave myself from stupidly neglecting my CPAP machine. No COVID contact whatsoever. Which I told the docs. Which they tested me anyway. In spite of ZERO COVID symptoms - no fever, no body aches, no cough, no taste or smell or any of the other BS symptoms they made up to make everyone scared of the slightest little thing.  

Test comes back negative. OF COURSE! Because I don't have COVID! No, they say, we need to test again! Seriously! Not making this up! So they test again and this time Sorry bad news you have covid, and proceed to basically tell me I am gonna die, sorry. So sorry. Actually happened. Not making this up. 

So they move me to the covid isolation wing. Where my nurse says feel free to use the call button there's plenty of us we have 26 rooms to cover only 6 of which are in use. Did you get that? 75% empty. Not even 1/4 capacity! This is the great covid crisis?!?!  

Who all by the way knows Elon Musk had himself tested 4 times in the same day? Who knows the results? Anyone? Beuller? 2 came back positive, 2 negative. Just like me. Totally random. I never did have ANY covid symptoms, my chest x-ray showed only pneumonia, because that's what it was.  

That's just one small story in this global conspiracy that is being perpetrated on everyone today. The truth is out there. They make it hard to find. Some snowflake, although a better term is the older useful idiot, will complain and the mods will be only too happy to remove this post. Funny thing though. They can remove the words. But they cannot remove the truth. No one can. Truth gives but one choice: accept- or deny.

OMG, just when you think you have a handle on how dumb someone is you are reminded there is no lower bound on human intelligence. 

Then again this particular someone is in a class of his own. Well technically not class, there is none, more like study hall. And not the cool Say Anything study hall either more like Fast Times at Ridgemont.  

HCQ can be ordered from insulinhub.com in the UK where it is sold over the counter. This is where I got mine back in March. Kind of glad I do have it since if I do get it (which I did not, one fake test result to the contrary) I know from experience how hard it is to get your own doctor to give you the proper treatment. The price is higher than it should be but cheap insurance and the customer service second to none. When mine got held up in US Customs the guy apologized even though it wasn't his fault- and shipped me another one! The second shipment arrived before the first, I wound up with a two-fer.

‘deaths by any cause with a positive test within 28 days’ is the one used in the daily updates and in all the analysis of lockdown measures, etc. 

"Deaths by any cause" counted as deaths by covid. Do they think you're stupid?

Thanks jond, next time someone accuses me of having a big head I will remind them it was me transformed the global economy and political landscape with nothing more than thought and word. They say the pen is mightier than the sword. Behold my mighty sword!

Masks are worse than useless. Reminder guys, I work in health care. The masks we are all being told to wear are procedure masks. They are intended only to stop spittle and droplets from talking infecting patients and medical equipment. They say right on the box they do not filter viruses or other contaminants. The vast majority of the air you breathe in or out goes right around the sides. They do not filter anything AT ALL!  

The next step up from a procedure mask is N95. These are intended to filter but in order to do this they must be carefully fitted. They come around with a test hood and if you can smell the odor its not filtering and you cannot wear N95. This happened to a couple of us here. Its pretty common.  

Even if you do get a tight seal every breath exhales moisture that clogs it and so the N95 is good for only a few hours.  

N95 by the way does not filter virus either. The situation really is like I said, trying to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence. That a mask works at all is based on the idea the virus is never just out there by itself, but is hitching a ride on a droplet. The problem with that being droplets go down to vapor, goes down to molecules.  

Anyone who has worked in a shop as I have, worn respirators as I have, will know perfectly well how your nose and throat gets plenty of dust. This is with filters many orders of magnitude better than the masks we are being forced to wear.  

It would be one thing if they worked. It would be another if we were told the truth and allowed to choose for ourselves. Instead we are all being forced to do something proven to have no medical efficacy whatsoever.  

This is not a health crisis. This is a political crisis.

Tinfoil. That's an insult, not an argument. Not even a proper insult at that.

2008 was a liquidity driven event. The current crisis is entirely driven by politics. There is a global push to put all humanity under global governance with no individual property rights or rule of law. Hong Kong in particular hangs in the balance as the CCP shows clear intent to invade and conquer. "One China" is official CCP policy so please don’t even try and argue that one.

In case you haven’t noticed governments all over the world are using the flu as an excuse to declare emergency powers, close businesses, track, and monitor, and lock up entire populations. Millions of people all over the world are unemployed, with the biggest impact of all falling on small businesses- exactly what the OP wants to be!

If the people win and things return to normal then yes, great time to start a new business. IF we win. If they win, worst time ever. This might be a good time to reflect on the full ramifications of the enemy’s choice of language. They call it the new normal. As in, tyranny: the new normal. Oppression: the new normal. Like that.

With, again, Hong Kong ground zero.

Relocating to a new country, starting a new business, in a field you apparently know little to nothing about. These aren’t risky enough challenges. You want to do it ground zero in the one place most likely to trigger global nuclear war.

Oh, and its your first post. 

All I can say, You go, girl!
