Just a friendly reminder that it's April Fools Day, and given the worlds current situation, there's bound to be extra crazy schiff making the rounds.

That's nothing more than one of a number of working theories. I actually posted a link way back on page 9 of this thread about pangolins being a possible source. Could you please share some of these left leaning news sources that you trust? Oh, and, your rock called. It's missing you living under it. Edit: Here's a special shoutout to @4merper4mer, as I was able to search for him using the word "hump" to locate the original posting of the pangolin.

Incoming run on bandanas.

Ah, the Obama years. If one wasn't being called a racist for the *slightest* criticism of him, at the very least his supporters would demand: "You may not like the man, but you should respect the office." How times have changed.

IMO if you have never experienced any of these yourself, it's easy to doubt. If you have experienced any of them, it's something you will never forget. I think the one most common would be the sense of dread. Such as, the phone rings, and you may instantly know that it's to relay news that a particular person just passed away (even if they may not have had any known conditions). Again, IMO, most times these types of things may have a very personal undertone, to such a degree that one may never admit that it happened other than to close confidants.

I’m old enough to remember a time when we were told that profiling was bad.

I think this first one was the most important to get the ball rolling. Now, companies that may have either been in negotiations to assist or who have watched from the sidelines, see that he will do it. I would think it would be more beneficial for these companies to do so voluntarily, more on their own terms (including the public relations aspect), than to be forced to do it.

Short thread: And:

I know that this has also happened in CA Bay Area hospitals and doctors offices. One of the largest health providers in CA began locking down all PPE in Jan/Feb due to massive theft.
