    So these illnesses are caused by cellular mitochondrial mutations and not genetics?

    since this is a coronavirus thread thought I would add a friendly reminder that not only did these decisions really happen, but they were precisely the opposite of what was best. Yes Newsome had beaches closed and a paddle boarder arrested. And yes Whitmer prohibited people to visit family at different household…while she did exactly that via private jet to Florida. There were lots of people that would have liked to see loved ones but were prohibited and arrested if attempted and caught

    https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/news/state-orders-and-directives/2020/03/23/executive-order-2020-21

    Subject to the exceptions in section 7, all individuals currently living within the State of Michigan are ordered to stay at home or at their place of residence. Subject to the same exceptions, all public and private gatherings of any number of people occurring among persons not part of a single household are prohibited

    Where does the former virologist imply that the cellular debris in the photo, erroneously described as viruses, cause illness ?

    Now let me ask you an another question. How does it not make sense that coughing, sneezing, runny nose, rash, fever, diarrhea, vomiting and the like are the body’s attempts to eliminate toxins ?

    She scheduled a flight to aid her ailing father. By all means, let’s string her up.

    Why was she allowed to aid and see her father?

    By the way. She should have been allowed to do that!!!

    As I mentioned in my post, there were a lot of people she denied that exact same privilege. So yes I’ll remind and point out her glaring hypocrisy just a a reminder of the gross abuse of power

    I was having some fun with your post, Duggers. This whole subject is about mitochondrial dysfunction.

    This is just silly. The “free state of FL” also closed its beaches at this time, and did perhaps the stupidest stunt of all in trying to establish a highway checkpoint to catch travelers driving from New York. But that move ostensibly “owns da Yankee libz”, so I guess you glossed over it.

    In the early days when the lockdown was happening - nobody knew much about the virus, other than based in China and Italy and NYC its death rate appeared to be at least 1% but possibly as high as 3%. Not that crazy to consider any large gathering in that public health scenario, even at beaches. The main concern was spring break was around that same time as the virus was first emerging in the U.S. I’m sure alot if epidemiologists were highly triggered by what they were seeing.

    Beach closures were not a persistent thing, though I do recall CA did some later closures when they were seeing spikes, so theirs obviously were more than FL. I suspect there was very little of that at all after 2020.

    Death rate for the imaginary pathogen was 0%.

    But you’re right on one matter: every state panicked and shut down. Yes, Kristi Noem is said to have been the only governor who did not officially issue lockdown orders.

    Then we watched the cities and counties shutting down of their own accord as if to tell Noem, “You can’t tell us not to panic!”

    Atlanta gator doesn’t always pay close attention to what he posts. He called Whitmer a hypocrite for breaking the law they passed even though the link he provided shows what she did was clearly within the law.

    Did Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Violate Her Own COVID-19 Restrictions?
    She did whatever she wanted evidently...
