Something is wrong with our education system that some folks believe a person with no scientific knowledge over a person who has a college degree in the sciences & has worked with and studied diseases. This needs to be fixed if we are to survive as a nation. Wake up, America!

It’s a sad fact, but it shouldn’t really surprise anyone that people are falling for the right wing lies about the Coronavirus outbreaks—these are the same people who spew and spread the anti-vaccination lies.

Judd, I'm starting to feel like I can't imagine life without you. Thanks for your reporting and for keeping alive the mission of the 4th estate.

‪Wake up.‬ ‪Trump wants us all to die. He can't stand the idea that anyone will be alive after his death. ‬

Flu is .01% fatal. Novelcorona is 2%. That makes corona virus 20 times more fatal.

To the thousands who have contracted the disease and several thousand who have died, this is no joke. Irony here is a man with stage 4 lung cancer has much to worry about if he contracts coronavirus due to his already serious illness. Rush is a suck-up not thinking things through.

As stated in yesterday's posting. A serious flu out-break spread through the US from exposures in Truck Stops. People infected took it home, to schools, churches, other places of businesses. The CDC has years of tracking how things spread across the US and the World. It is called data.

We should all be concerned if they are concerned.

Trump is an imbecile.

Pelosi asked that the House add more than a billion to the 2 billion Trump proposed to combat it.

Reuters reported yesterday that we have a dire shortage of masks for health workers.

Does that mean buy your mask today? I have no idea folks. But one pack might be in my future.

Judd you rock. Thank you for continuing to inform us.

According to the CDC the age group over 70 with long term illness comprise the largest population of those who have died. Rush is in that age range, I think. Children under 9 the smallest.

My son just told me that Richmond VA is sold out of masks. On Amazon they are $30 for a box.

This is important information Judd. I copied your excerpt from The Lancet to my page on Face Book and of course, gave you and this publication credit. I felt that it was important enough to pull out and share.

Judd do you have an account on Mastodon? I’ve added an account there in an attempt to filter out some of the “noise” from bots & trolls on Twitter. Would love to read a report from you on that platform as well as other alternatives to Twitter.

Judd, appreciate that you are both a good researcher and a good writer.

If you ever have a few moments to spare, take a look at HG Wells' "Politics and the English Language". Words are important.

2% mortality rate is over 10x the flu rate (about 0.14%) and comparable to the 1918 pandemic.

Coronavirus is caused by vaccines. The government is behind this as a plot to get you to take flu shots and have your mind controlled.*

Judd, I hope Faiz has a contingency plan to run the campaign if it becomes infeasible to do door-knocking or bring volunteers together in meetings.

For the past few years I have had difficulty working out in yard, then in 2018 it got harder and harder to breathe. After many tests, it was a CT scan that showed COPD, emphysema and scarring in my lungs. There must be a mistake. I don’t have a cough and I have never smoked in my life, so i was in shock! I am 52 years old.. I got to a point I regularly experienced a crushing sensation when I lie down in bed. It feels like my heart is in a vice, this is the best way to describe it, My dad was a smoker. He died when I was 17. He had emphysema with smoking and pneumoconiosis with dust from coal mines. The doctor had mentioned the CT showed my cerebellum was small. Everything went downhill from there I lost my job because I was a liability. around 5 months ago I began to do a lot of research and came across www Health herbs clinic com, it is a smashing one of a kind product for reversing emphysema. The treatment is a miracle, after I completed the treatment, all symptoms were gone.. Going back to my farm work again gives me so much joy, I feel better and breath better. I Just wanted to share for people suffering from this horrible lungs disease. I make it a point to appreciate every day! Visit their website w ww. Healthherbsclinic.c om
