DAVID; Attached are charts for week ending 5th November. I changed the positivity graph to make it more noticeable. We are still far from the acceptable positivity rate of below 5%. The incidence graphs are very slowly trending downwards – Source: Lyall Small

  1. GP MARRIED TO ONE WOMAN WHO IS HAPPY TO HAVE HER OWN HUSBAND November 13, 2021 10:51 PM “RE Imagine that you are married to GP. Oh the sweetness. INDEED YOU ARE SO CORRECT”

    There is no way I would accuse you of sweetness, so when you have to willfully misquote me to make a point it shows that you have no point. You ole, liar, ole devil.

    There is a 40% higher chance of mortality from heart attacks among South Asians than the average population. According to a WHO report, by 2020, South Asians will comprise 25% of the world’s population, but will suffer over 50% of the world’s cardiovascular deaths.

    Never heard this one before.

    Always heard Blacks where most likely to suffer from hypertension and heart disease.

    I am trying to think of any obese Asians I know or have seen in my life.

    So 2020 has come and gone has this prediction actually happened?

    Came across this.

    “Hypertension in Blacks and Hispanics
    Blacks in the U.S. have the highest rate of hypertension in the world, with a prevalence of 41.2 percent in 2011-2014 compared with 28 percent among whites, 24.9 percent among Asians and 25.9 percent among Hispanics. In addition, blood pressure control rates for blacks with hypertension are lower than other groups, despite higher awareness and treatment rates. Blacks are also more salt sensitive, which may be why the DASH diet is particularly effective in this population.24”

  3. “Most people don’t even recall that the diets of slaves were heavily salted and in many instances have led to the kinds of intergenerational hypertension and diabetes and chronic non-communicable diseases that we see,” she noted.

    When I saw that Blacks were more sensitive to salt coming from the American College of Cardiology, I remembered hearing Ms. Mockley make the above statement just before I tuned out.

    I recoiled in horror.

    Is this true or a figment of her imagination.

    Here’s a good diagram of the reservoirs and dams which provide water for Taiwan so you may not have to use Google Earth to understand the couple of basic points.

    https://web.cw.com.tw/drought-2021-en/index.html

    There was a drought last year and early this year (worse in 56 years) which caused severe problems but heavy rain and floods (!!) have reservoir levels close to 100%.

    You guessed it, the floods preceded the COVID spike which then returned to normal.

    Taiwan has a storage capacity of close to 2 billion gallons.

    It is in the hills/mountains away from the vast majority of the population which is on the west coast of the island.

    Sewage is pretty much isolated from the water supply.

    Taiwan is a bigger version of Dominica or Grenada but all work on the same principle, water supply is in the hills and fed by gravity to the coastal flat areas.

    You would never imagine one of the ways Taiwan attempted to solve the drought earlier this year.

    Desal!!!

    The plant(s) are on the coast in the heavily built up areas sucking water from the sea into which sewage would have flown.

    You can see the plume coming from the West Coast.

    Floods increased the amount of sewage getting into the sea and probably overloaded the desal plant(s).

    Sounds like the rains have removed the need for the the desal plant(s) probably the reason why things have returned to normal.

    You can check this image below on Goggle Earth, plume is evident.

    Reckon I got the puzzle solved for COVID.

  6. “Imagine that you are married to GP.

    Or imagine that you are married to John

    Or that you marry one and then the other.”

    I imagine that that is what being a prostitute would be like

    “Imagine that you choose to marry neither. Oh, the sweet peaceable life. Oh the joy. Oh the freedom from an oppressive elder.”

    I can easily imagine being married to neither as we are all blessed in that respect.
    Although they still need to shut up with their talking shit on BU polluting the thread with monotonous repetitive mindless meaningless drivel with no informational value positivity or upliftment

    I put a request for GP’s Real / Government / Slave Name in order to research the wicked man
    I imagine he is as ugly on the outside as he is on on the inside and is truly unholy and ungodly
    and has been cursed by God since birth

    We all know John Knox’s Slave Master Name already
