Thanks. Liked what you posted and not refuting it. Can you point me to someplace where I can read more about the mutation of Corona viruses?
Just Google it. There are tons of articles about it and the science behind it. Its pretty fascinating to read how when viruses mutate, it happens because they require human DNA or RNA to "reproduce", and by doing so it actually takes on our own defense mechanisms against it. Viruses have a weird kind of survival instinct, in that if it kills the host it also dies so it is a sort of evolution in how they work. It also works the other way and we take on the traits of the virus to the point where 9% of our genetic code is actually considered "alien dna" (not extraterrestrial, just not human). Pretty cool stuff.
 
What was the name of this Researcher, if you recall? I'd love to try to listen to a podcast, if I can find it. Sounds very insightful.

Thanks, NC.


I was trying to find it myself. It's what happens when you listen from the car.

I can't find it yet because it was just broadcast today. But I intend to go back and check again for the next few days.

Look up "The Peoples Pharmacy Podcasts" They are a Chapel Hill based couple
Joe Graedon, Pharmacologist
Terry Graedon, Medical Anthropologist

They do a syndicated show on NPR WUNC

Most episodes are posted.

This episode was September 5, 2020

Good luck I want the Doctor's name as well.
 
It crossed over into political with Nebr Sailor's posts. I'm tired of the constant liberal bashing. I can only imagine the furor if I, or someone else, were to post something about Neo-Cons. The fur would fly.

We have lots of problems in this county and in the world. If you think every problem is due to the left or liberals - you really are not paying attention or understanding to what has been going on for years. Bad policies from both sides of the aisle and lack of accountability - everything is about power and money for those in elected positions (hell that has probably been true for longer than I have been around). But if you think elected officials are bad - letting corporations run things would be even worse - and that is the trend that has me most concerned - way more than being left or right.

Damn right! I'm just sick and tired of certain posters dropping "liberals" or "democrats" like it's a dirty word and NOTHING ever being done about it by mods. I've reported more posts than I care to remember and the vast majority are still up for people to read.

The Mods are doing the best they can. If you think you can do better, let me know and I will promote you. It is a thankless job and has only gotten worse this year. I long for the days when all we had to content with was the endless "We shouldn't have fired Bo" threads.

If you think our board is bad, head over an peak at some of the others, I think you will find ours pales in comparison.

Having said that, I will repeat myself for the umptenth time. This is a board about "Husker Athletics", Not politics. There are plenty of places you can go and complain about left or right, progressive or liberal. Go do it there, not here.

SOC has been doing a gret job of policing this lately along with the other Mods and Admins. I am getting tired of the flack they are receiving from both sides.

Another thing, the 1st amendment applies to the government, not a private board like this one, Neal and I get to decide what is and isn't acceptable and we have posted that on the board and you agreed to it when you signed up. If you don't like it, you can go somewhere else.

From now on we will enforce this, you get two warnings and then you get a one week timeout. You do it again or argue with us about, goodbye permanently.

LOL, Thanks but no thanks! I was a moderator on a board for folks with spinal issues. If you think this is bad, you ain't seen nuttin! Fights over pain meds or the lack thereof and worse the bickering over other posters praying for them when they didn't ask for "thoughts and prayers" -- no fun at all.

Seriously, I didn't mean to be argumentative but it was posted to not respond but report. So I try to not respond and just report and the comments just hang there. See post #26 in this very thread. NebSailor again bashing anything left of center. So I get p*ssed and stay away from here more than not because most of the threads have similary posts in them and I'm sick of it.

I'll check back in a day or so and see if things have changed.

Point taken, U. It's a Covid thread, not a mini third-rail. Poli is still not allowed.

Yet, speaking only for myself, I get really fatigued trying to read all the postings, discern what is or isn't over the line, temper my reactions, and generally stay detached so others can exchange views w/o undue interference. I err on the side of saying less vs. more.

I don't have the patience to go back and dele stuff folks wish was not there on this thread. Maybe tomorrow or another day. Or maybe I'll hope folks'll ignore them til the thread matures

My larger disappointment is that we're all grown-ups, the rules have been stated and restated ad nauseum, and yet at times, it's still a flippin' sandbox full of...well...n/m

Yeah, it really is a thankless job that you mods/admins do. It's just very difficult to keep one's mouth shut when others are not obeying that set of rules.

I get that folks are frustrated that DONU isn't playing football while other schools are but the jabs, name calling and insults just don't seem to stop being hurled towards that political party that is being scapegoated for EVERYTHING right now. I suspect that is why we haven't seen a couple of posters lately. They're tired of the crap as well.

Definitely not jealous, lol. Trying to decide what may or may not offend someone has to be impossible. I still think adults have the ability to both measure their comments out of respect for others and also not whine when they hear something they don't like. Anybody and everybody has the option to not be pissed off about something someone else says.

So we have not seen any reports. We believe something might be broken. We will have to look into that. That means Charlie and I...:wave2: So for that we apologize. We had no idea it was not working. We just assumed that no reports where being sent so again we will work on that. I think this whole year has been a strain and it has strained this board to the max.

No problems!

You are right about this year being a strain on everyone!

thanks!
 
This is interesting - this is how the rest of the world largely controlled Covid-19 yet we seem to be unable...or unwilling. Not exactly a glowing report card.....

What U.S. States Are Ready To Test & Trace?

No...We Do. You don’t take a warship across waters and not plan for this. It’s eff’n maddening. Call me Crazy...I don’t care. I’m just speaking from experience. We literally have experts on this trained on this deploy with us. To shut down the greatest Country in the world (please I hope we can agree on that) over this. Was Ludicrous and We need to look into our CDC.
 
"Another thing, the 1st amendment applies to the government"

No, the Bill of Rights were written to protect U.S. citizens FROM government. But I understand what you mean by a private board.
