Let Him Bee

What you call bees I call stinger-wielding nectar junkies.

“Regular exercise has far more health benefits than we know.” – Dr. Zhen Yan

Statements like these are why observant people regard the proclaimed experts as self-important dummkopfs.

Some news reports are calling SARS-CoV-2 a designer virus.

Great, now everyone will want it.

Almost every municipality has an ordinance against wearing masks in public.

Now, people are being fined for not breaking the law.

Everyone's favorite communist has suspended his presidential campaign.

As a further indicator of Bernie's lack of political acumen, he did not leverage his withdrawal for an appointment to a cushy government job with no accountability – oh, wait. He already has one.

With Boris in the ICU – but not on a vent, go figure – now is the time to remind (or inform) everyone that while Great Britain claims to be a Constitutional Monarchy, it never got around to actually writing a Constitution.

Many viruses do not deactivate under 165°F. SARS-COV-2 does not deactivate until at least 133°F. A high-grade fever (102°F – 109.6°F) does not approach the temperatures required to deactivate a virus.

There is anecdotal evidence that a low-grade fever (<102°F) is beneficial to the immune response, but do not expect your body to start incinerating viruses.

P.S. If you are inclined to use the Latin plural, it is vira, not viri.
