We're All Doomed!™ (the Conquest, War, Famine, and Death Thread)

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

‘Murder hornet’: Asian invader is death on wings in Canada, U.S.

Nature is serving up another reason to stay indoors in 2020 with the arrival of the so-called Asian “murder hornet,” an invasive species in the U.S. and Canada with a nickname that puts “Africanized killer bees” to shame.

The Asian giant hornet, as it’s officially known, is the biggest, meanest hornet in the world. It’s a AA battery-sized juggernaut on wings, with a massive, toxic stinger, an armoured body.

The Asian giant hornet typically lives in countries like Japan and China, but several specimens were found in British Columbia and Washington state late last year. Wildlife officials are now investigating fresh reports of the insects on both sides of the border, as the giant hornet queens come out of hibernation to venture out for food.
MURDER HORNETS!!! :crazy:

They kill roughly 50 people per year in Japan, which can be compared to sharks, that kill roughly two people per year - globally. :crazy:

Gotta love the Danes! :lol:

But of course responsibly and only with consent... :oops:
At a press conference on Monday, Søren Brostrøm, The Director General of the Danish Health Authority, said that even singles who have a relatively high number of different sexual partners should not feel inhibited by social distancing measures.

"Sex is good. Sex is healthy. We are sexual beings, and of course you can have sex in this situation," he said. "As with any other human contact, there is a risk of infection. But of course one must be able to have sex."

Coronavirus enters the respiratory tract by the inhalation of droplets, and is not spread via semen or vaginal fluid, but the physical closeness involved in sex clearly brings a risk of inhaling the virus.

Kåre Mølbak, professional director at Denmark's SSI infectious diseases agency, said that the social distancing guidelines in Denmark should nonetheless not discourage either dating or full-blown sexual encounters.

I think I read in a Swedish article on the topic that the Danish recommendation was to try to restrict yourself to as few partners as you see possible. Could you consider having less than five? If so, you should. But if you really feel that five is a must, then that’s just the way it has to be. :look:

Hmm. This seems kind of curious. Wonder what the US military knows about this virus that they aren't telling the public?

CORONAVIRUS SURVIVORS 'PERMANENTLY DISQUALIFIED' FROM JOINING U.S. MILITARY, RECRUITMENT MEMO SUGGESTS

https://www.newsweek.com/coronavirus-su ... ry-1502445

The military will stop recruiting applicants who have tested positive for COVID-19, according to a proposal in a memo from the U.S. Military Entrance Processing Command (MEPCOM).

The contents of the memo, which has been circulating on the internet, were confirmed to Newsweek by the Pentagon, which described them as "interim guidance." The story was first reported by the Military Times.

"During the medical history interview or examination, a history of COVID-19, confirmed by either a laboratory test or a clinician diagnosis, is permanently disqualifying," the memo reads

Additionally, the memo lays out guidelines for handling possible and confirmed coronavirus cases in applicants. It says any applicants at any of the 65 nationwide Military Entrance Processing Stations (MEPS) should be evaluated for possible coronavirus infection, most likely through a temperature check and questions about their symptoms and possible contact with infected individuals.

If an applicant seems likely positive for the coronavirus, they can return to the MEPS if they're symptom-free after 14 days. Anyone who tests positive through a lab test or clinical diagnosis can return to MEPS 28 days after their diagnosis.

However, their application will be marked as "permanently disqualifying," and while applicants can request a waiver the memo offers no further guidance for possible COVID-19 exceptions, meaning that "a review authority would have no justification to grant a waiver," says the Military Times.

This ban applies uniquely applies to coronavirus survivors while allowing applicants with histories of other viral, non-chronic illnesses to enter the military.

The ban may also result from limited research on COVID-19, as there's still much that's unknown about the virus, the permanence and assessment of its damage on the lungs and body, whether the virus can reemerge in those who've seemingly recovered from it, and whether prior infection makes a person more immune or susceptible to catching it again.

The memo also arrives just as military recruiters prepare to face an onslaught of students deciding their post-graduate summer plans or evaluating whether to return to school in the fall.

Newsweek reached out to the Department of Defense for further information. This story will be updated with any response.

While the Pentagon keeps secret the number of coronavirus cases in the military, data from the Defense Department indicates over 6,500 coronavirus cases at more than 150 bases in every state in the United States, except Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota and Montana. National Guard forces in at least 20 states have also reported cases.

It's unclear if the military will dismiss these service members once they recover from coronavirus.

Can you handle the truth?

Can I trust you?

Two years ago at a secret US facility in Manila, they developed a way to reprogram human genetic material.

Red China and Russia soon obtained this new technology by way of their vast network of spies.

A few other nations were privy to rumours of this happening, but they had no solid evidence.

And of course US/Russia/China aren't going to tell the world about this super dangerous high tech.

Now here's the thing, if you're going to reprogram DNA, you need a delivery system...

And as those fucking commies in China deduced... nothing works better in that regard than a virus.

It's like a suitcase. You pack in genetic mutation, infect the body and the vectrons lowers into the target cells.

Okay. So at their lab in Wuhan, the Chinese were working on a virus to do just that.

And yup, it got loose. (no one seems sure if it was by accident or if someone at the lab was some kind of a 'mad scientist')

(well the Chinese know, but they're not talking)

Now this virus was in its early stages, so it wasn't set to make specific changes to human genetic material.

So no one knows what kind of long-term effects it might have on those unfortunates who became infected and survived.

(for example, over time Mëds could eventually grow horns, HW could grow a 3rd breast, etc)

Also, this thing should make DNA hackable... meaning further specific changes could be made by nefarious agents remotely.

There are worries this could be readily achieved when 5G cellular eventually ramps up to 10 gigabits per second.

Sorry for the long-winded response, but dat dere is why the US military is not allowing coronavirus survivors to enlist.

BTW this is Top Secret, so please don't breathe a word of any of this to a living soul...

Well could they move my clitoris to my forearm? That would be more useful than a third breast. Much more accessible.
