JUST IN: Hong Kong said it will end its controversial #COVID19 hotel quarantine policy for all arrivals from Sept. 26, more than 2.5 years after it was first implemented, in a long-awaited move for many residents and businesses in the financial hub.

Doctors scramble to contain new Ebola outbreak as virus spreads
A strain of the virus with no approved vaccine has been detected near a busy road which connects the Ugandan capital to the DRC

Vaccine approval and manufacturing can take years. But if infections begin to skyrocket and the vaccines are deemed safe, vaccine trials could potentially start in the field within “weeks”, according to Dr Ana Maria Henao-Restrepo from WHO’s epidemics research and development team.

Last night a team of experts from the WHO's R&D Blueprint committee met to discuss how this might work..

Re: Coffee Crowd for Civilized Discourse on World Events
I have my own ideas about Putin.

Suffice it to say, he isn't going to stop with Ukraine and he will win. His march across the planet is far from over.

There is only one ending to this and it isn't by human hands.

Hope I'm not butting in.

Thanks for listening.

this is very concerning. posts on the other thread point to this re-emerging in ppl that had recovered from EBOLA. u'll remember that the US has several ppl who were infected and then brought back to ATLANTA as well as the HOUSTON outbreak a few years back.

i haven't looked into this yet, but have no reason to doubt the info.

Three years before Mount Tarawera erupted, the loudest sound in recorded history was made by a volcano called Krakatau (Also known as Krakatoa).

Found in Southeast Asia, when Krakatau erupted in 1883 it released 200 megatrons of energy – that’s the equivalent of 15,000 nuclear bombs. Boom!

We were talking with the anesthesiologist before husband's surgery today going over some medical history.

He asked about his heart racing post covid, then he slightly sighed and said we don't know where this is all going to end up.

Surgery went perfectly, and we now have a favorite facemask to use when required- HALYARD FLUIDSHIELD 3 Disposable Procedure Mask, w/SO SOFT Earloops, Fog-Free, Pleat-Style, Orange.

glad it went well. doctors sure do ask a lot of questions to enter into the data banks for later. mask is nice with the added shield but i prefer my half-faced N-95. that 1 looks like it would leak a lot on the sides, hence it still is rated as a surgical mask that most ppl were wearing. not trying to b critical, but want u to b aware of the risk with it.

side note- i wish the LOWES half-faced had elastic straps.

Well guys, they say 3rd time's a charm so let's hope this house works out. We put a bid on another house that belonged to a 90 year old lady and looks like it's been very well cared for. I was a little surprised we were the 1st to bid after 4 days on the market and several cards were on the counter. I think the younger people might not like it. It's not all chrome and gray! LOL We love it and it's actually in our budget range. We just have to wait now. Most of the sibs live in Cali. We might not hear anything until next week.

Rumors of a military coup in China cannot be confirmed through reliable sources at this time. We're classifying it as RUMINT for now, but we're looking for anything to confirm or debunk it.

Well guys, I'm giving up looking for a house. A tent it is.

I can't get over the greed of some people, but the owners of the last house are now stuck with what they asked for. I refuse to get into a bidding war over an old house that's just a normal house for a bunch of damn Californian's.

Sorry, Lago. You're not included in my rant.
