The lab, initially set up by the Army to research ways of destroying Soviet farm animals (and to keep them from destroying ours), has often dealt with bacteria and viruses that can be passed from animals to humans. Carroll draws compelling causal links between Plum Island and the introduction of Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and duck enteritis, all non-native germs that wreaked sudden havoc in North America, and all germs that Plum Island scientists were allegedly working with. With hurricanes and terrorists on his mind, Carroll asks readers to imagine a scenario in which the Plum Island lab might release pathogens into the most densely populated area in the country. He ends the book with two chilling questions. First, does the United States need a research facility that investigates animal pathogens with potential for human transmission? Second, considering that Plum Island never had a particularly good safety record, is it the right place for such a facility? Lab 257, while occasionally veering into unsupported speculation, introduces key questions to the debate on biological security in the 21st century. --Therese Littleton
Q's most dramatic predictions, the ones most of us Q-followers are waiting for, are running at 0% fulfillment too...just to be fair.

I wonder how long Qanon will continue the larp before people realize it's BS.

she sounds like a loon. Otherwise credible people lose points with me when they mention her name.
It is anticipated that the closed meeting of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17, 2020, will be held under expedited procedures, as set forth in section 261b.7 of the Board's Rules Regarding Public Observation of Meetings, at the Board's offices at 20th Street and C Streets, N.W., Washington, D.C. The following items of official Board business are tentatively scheduled to be considered at that meeting.
Roughly $500 billion of this would be tied to a payroll tax cut, while $250 billion would come in the form of Small Business Administration loans and another $58 billion would be directed to the airline industry, among other measures.

This announcement does not inspire confidence in "the plan".

Consider he's sending a message to [AS] for doing the same to DJT. Durham now has proof?

There is a Saint Corona, And she is the Patron Saint against plague and epidemics.
Maybe that's why this form of virus is also called a "coronavirus" ... it's just a 'new one' apparently .. believable
Storytime: I was 21, super fit, had been drinking on a Friday night, not much, went home to bed and woke up with a headache. Which for me is strange, as I've had about 10 headaches in my Life!
I thought I had a hangover as I wasn't much of a drinker, but as the day progressed, so did my headache! By 4pm I couldn't even look at the TV without it making my head hurt worse. Back then, I never went to a dr, but by 6pm it felt like someone was hitting my head with a baseball bat!
I got in my car and drove to a drs surgery a few kms away. The headlights of the other cars were needles in my eyes to my brain. This was FUBAR! but I finally got to the drs without crashing
I went into the waiting room and lay on the floor ... can't remember much from then on, except I somehow wound up at the hospital, who wanted to do a lumbar puncture -- I asked "why?"
They said "they thought I had Viral meningitis, where the lining of one's brain, the "meninges" becomes inflamed, hence the headache from hell" - I asked 'what can be done about it" (this was last century) and they said "nothing, you'll just have to rest in a darkened room until it stops" .... I asked "what kind of virus is it?" and they replied 'it could be any one of about 20 that would give you this"
They said I could stay in hospital, but I'd be in 'isolation'! I asked if I could go home and they said sure.
"BTW How did I get this? and the dr quickly replied,
"I guess you took a breath at the wrong time!"
I think it's pretty much the same with CoVID .. it's silly. Let's say it can survive 6hrs outside the body aka "ex vivo"
If a person with it sneeezed 1km from me and an 'aerosolized particle' were cuaght on the wind, there's No reason why I'm not going to get a whiff of that if I "take a breath at the wrong time"!
I've actually been REALLY crook with at least 3 different "fever causing agents" in the past 10-14 days. It went away for a day two times but the next day I had a different version. It's possible something I have caused ONE of the fevers, but not 4 of them! I have a highly reactive immune system, it's literally nearly killed me twice now from "auto-immune" stuff that's almost gone now - but I'm left with this Hyper sensitive immune system. The last time I had the flu was in '08, I had 3 versions, 2 that lasted 24-36hrs and one that floored me for a week. I could barely move!
that's virii for you -- watch when you take a breath -- and ass for people wearing masks, lol, spare me! Not even hospital staff are!
