Again, Governor Cuomo Falls Victim to Falsehoods

Governor Andrew Cuomo who by now we've come to see has trouble putting two and two together, again tries to tell the public (Oh poor, poor, misguided NY public) that population density at the meat packing plants is the reason for the high infectivity here. You couldn't be more wrong, Gov. The workers are wearing masks and they are not that on top of each other because, for God's sake, they are wielding the sharpest knives around. Also, from what I've seen, the workers are in an assembly line. Wherever an infected worker is, he can only spread to the person immediately upstream or downstream of him/her. He can't infect the whole fucking line--if the Governor is right and we put our trust solely on population density. However, if I'm right and cold temperatures are the real reason for the spread, then you can expect that one worker ANYWHERE could infect the entire plant. This theory can be proven by having Tyson and the others report the physical location of all...

If you take an Ace Inhibitor, You are at Increased Risk of Getting a Covid-19 Infection.

Just watched a great video by Dr. Ogan Gurel on how Covid-19 attaches and wreaks havoc on our respiratory system. If you are on Ace inhibitors for Blood Pressure and are considered susceptible to a coronavirus infection, you and your doctor should weigh the risks of continued therapy with an Ace inhibitor. https://youtu.be/PfG-q5opkYs In the event you don't want to watch the video, here's the summary: many tissues of the body have a cell receptor known as Ace-2; although it is found in numerous tissues, it is their presence along the respiratory tract that concerns us here. The receptor targeted by the high blood pressure meds is an Ace-1 but taking an Ace-1 inhibitor has the unfortunate effect of increasing Ace-2 levels. Increased Ace-2 levels would not be a problem if it were not for the fact that Covid-19 attaches to the Ace-2 and drags it along as it uses it to gain access to a cell's interior where the DNA is; and that would not be too much of a problem if ...
