  1. I have not heard this conspiracy theory. that the spread did not come out of China. The Wash. Post reported on Feb. 1 that 20 countries were already affected. Hundreds of millions of chinese were traveling for the holidays. I could not find an exact list of countries so looked some up myself. The US, Korea, Thailand, France, Russia, Germany, Japan, Cambodia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Australia, Spain, Italy, UK, Canada, India... all reported the first case(s) in January and ties to chinese traveling. The next wave of countries was in Feb-March. As for Russia... the same was said of Africa at one point but no longer (in terms of low incident). Russia started restricting their border in late January.
  2. What is Taoism

    The zen way. When hungry, eat. When tired, sleep. You want some cosmic awakening?
  3. Trump Is behind the Chinese and French studies and told me there are public reports by researchers... Please. These are public reports.
  4. What is Taoism

    Dao is not a thing. When it is put prior to One, it is a kind of theoretical One. I'm with Starjumper here but Flowing Hands has explained it too.
  5. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.22.20040758v2 https://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/world/2020/03/28/Hydroxychloroquine-and-azithromycin-effective-in-treating-coronavirus-French-study https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/chloroquine-and-hydroxychloroquine-current-evidence-for-their-effectiveness-in-treating-covid-19/
  6. Whether I read those articles is irrelevant to the fact that China and France shared results regarding it too. So did you read their results? Likely not, and that is ok. It just means there are differing outcomes so far... so there needs to be more testing. That is my my world view: countries (including the US) are testing them. I have no problem in letting scientist/researchers decide what to test.
  7. What is Taoism

    I would say there is nothing that is not Dao... just that one Way may not be the same as another Way.
  8. There were studies in France and China that suggested some effectiveness. This likely spurred the rest of the world, and even NY City to test it. Let them test and see what comes of it. Even if it is only relatively effective for a certain group or type, it is worth understanding. http://investor.aceto.com/corporate-governance/board-of-directors
  9. Dao Bums Trolls akin to a Virus

    Well... 6,000 does round up to 10,000 There used to be 50,000 'entries' and years ago there was an action to remove those who didn't actually post in the end. Then there are those who do post but the number who post less than a few is higher than who is active. This has been the case since the beginning.
  10. Do you think GSmaster has screw loose?

    I’ve found you have inner seeing... not about self but beyond to deities. That is definitely a few screws loose. Thank screwless gods.
  11. coronavirus lethality and age

    I was talking with my wife about this recently. The lack of data is there but those who got infected and then infected their entire family did include the children... just that they are not fatalities. This at least side steps the question of why are they not prone to catch it and just talk about those that did. I have only speculation. That their systems are much 'cleaner' to start with and less prone to having junk stick to it. No emotional or psychological issues to start with... and even if sick, they are not dreading whether this is their last breath. I read the stories of surviving adults who talk like they believed they were on death's bed... the sheer panic of it all comes through their tale. I think the kids just want to go outside to play, even if sick. I think there is a moral (or three) to this story though...
  12. The perfect weapon

    Korea is a bit atypical... but they also came up with a 'drive-thru' check... I think it really boils down to: either you enforce aggressive containment or you pretend like nothing is going on...
  13. That's true. Another problem we found in the newest version is in Reports... in the past, it preserved the original thread... but now if you edit that thread, it show it more like it was linked to... so editing an original thread will remove the report content. I think you have a good alternative idea.
  14. The perfect weapon

    Sorry... did we teleport to another thread... I have no idea what you are referring to. The temperature angle has been discussed in china for more than a month, almost two. There are folks trying to understand this.
  15. you quoted me as a saying that you said. i don't know Spinning Qigong. Link? Otherwise, no comment.
  16. I would suggest no screen captures because the site (like all forums) have a limit on each member for stored images. So I would just suggest links and quotes.
  17. You present no books as such... so I have no clue what you are talking about so how can I ask for that proof? Can you give an example of where I should of personally asked for such proof of a book you have read?
  18. Very curious indeed... I was focusing on weather forecasters as a sexual issue I disagree with. I won't post any pictures though.
  19. you're making an argument in a new thread with a new name... you can choose whether to find the old post and cite it... or not. You can choose whether to provide scientific proof of your opinion... or not. I have tried for 15 years to help you understand how to talk in such forums. Post your proof of scientific evidence or man up to that is your opinion without any experience you can cite or share.
  20. You can lose everything you are arguing about. Go ahead and test the idea, if it is not your own idea... then tell us an actual experience.
  21. New here

    Thank you... that is the closest explanation that I know from people who really looked into it. TCM has a huge following... and nationalist embracing of history and medicinal use... that is not banned. Li was bat crazy in his assertions... or did nobody actually read his works?
  22. I apologize as i didn't read through the thread but the last few... so now read the entire thing. That opening post is just opinion and the video as well. there is not citing a study or even TCM, although I'd likely not completely accept any findings because we are all so different. They did a sex study on athletes... several abstained before any event... and several engaged... both sides claimed an enhanced power from it. You provided one video... did I miss another or her credentials... and did you not realize others can do it differently. And there was a very important Chinese stereotype she revealed: ... Then he cannot make money ...
  23. I do think this is somewhat pervasive in the US TV area for sports... and weather forecasters... partly why I just stopped watching TV. Is that talking from experience?
