There have been several theories that the coronavirus first travels
into the intestines where it breeds and then spreads to the rest of
the body. And also that several drugs used to treat stomach problems
are also beneficial (Famotadine).

So MY theory is that this is why Korea is doing so well on the
Covid-19 front - Kimchi and its natural probiotics in the intestines
creates an inhospitable flora for reproduction of the coronavirus.

Which is why I just made "Spicy Sauerkraut" using the vacuum bag
method.

"Asian Sauerkraut" because, to keep the peace in the house, it's
basically forbidden not to make/eat kimchi indoors. So I used
regular green cabbage and shredded it as for sauerkraut(*), then
added ginger, garlic, a jalapeno pepper, a really potent red pepper
so it wouldn't be so red(*), finely sliced yellow onion instead of
green(*), and 2.5% salt by weight. It's 1.5lbs of raw materials.

(*) All so it doesn't *LOOK* like kimchi ;-)

Vacuumed it up in a large nylon foodsaver bag so air can't make it
spoil, and that's it. It will sit out on the counter looking like
innocent sauerkraut where it will start to swell up while emitting
no odor. And no burping required. I may or may not poke a hole in
it (outside) to gas it and reseal it if it swells up too much before
it's done fermenting.

Just remember... if anybody asks, it's SPICY SAUERKRAUT and NOT
kimchi. Got it?

I just saw that somebody had posted this on Facebook RFC last night,
AFTER I wrote the previous two paragraphs. I had not seen the
article prior to that. So already my hypothesis has turned into a
well-grounded theory with scientific support!

Of course the fact that the majority of them wear masks might be the
deciding factor!

[graham]

in getting it in the first place!
Also, they don't flout the rules.

[Christ...@deathtochristianity.pl]

LOL Masks DO NOTHING!!
You want proof?


Texas coronavirus cases include more than 80 infants

Texas is a state requiring masks.
Do NOT let the idiot politicians tell you that wearing masks is good
BECAUSE IT IS NOT.

To find out where that picture came from I did a Google image search
and the only result was from Quora of him answering somebody's
question, "How do I get bigger boobs?".

He's an expert on everything. He definitely fits the "greasy" image
I had of him.

It's people like you that are causing the whole problem and
rise in cases.

And people like Trump?

Agreed, Gary! I was at Publix Supermarket for a big stock-up trip last
week. Everyone in the store, myself included, was wearing a mask in
accordance with local law. *Except* one woman who had a sticker on her
shirt proclaiming "Medical Exemption". I had to look that up.

Apparently in the county where I live there is such a thing as a
"medical exemption" for people with "underlying health conditions". The
problem with that is there's no clear definition of what those
"underlying health conditions" might be. Seems like anyone could print
a label, slap it on their shirt and not have to wear a mask. I wonder
if she had to show some sort of proof (doctor's note) before they let
her in.

I realize, of course, you can't tell if someone has a medical condition
just by looking at them. She looked to be about my age. She wasn't
riding around on one of those electric carts. She wasn't toting an
oxygen concentrator. She appeared to be very energetic. She went out
of her way to speak to everyone she encountered. I stayed well away
from her!

LOL yeah I answered that question. I also offered no advise on getting
bigger boobs I actually said
"You do not need bigger boobs. NO FEMALE needs bigger boobs. If you
need something to better you self esteem then join a gym and start
pumping iron. Get some muscles, develop a 6 pack - females with a 6
pack is freakin hotter than big boobs, tighten that ass up, become
flexible. You will soon have forgotten all about boobs long before you
even reach that stage."
So if that makes me an expert on everything then I guess I am the most
intelligent person there is, or perhaps not. What I am not though is
full of hate and jealousy as you appear to be, So say what you will I
will remain proud of what I have said and the information that I have
shared.

That's easy.... become pregnant and nurse.

81 of those babies were diagnosed with covid before we had a mask
mandate two weeks ago.

Even still, I'm not sure how you point to 85 babies having the virus
is somehow related to masks being ineffectual. Other than babies
don't wear masks. Nobody wears masks around their family members or
in their homes unless they're suspected or confirmed of being
infected. I don't see your logic. But I believe that YOU do.

The logic button in CK's brain was clearly turned to the off position
