| It turns out “The Expanse” is a movie about overenthusiastic scientists meddling with forces beyond their control — in this case, viruses. |

| #14 Trump has been given the Regeneron antibody cocktail in addition to zinc and vitamin D, no HCQ mentioned. |

| #13 I hope they'll do a complete RNA sequencing of virus samples taken from POTUS and his inner circle. If the virus differs markedly from the strains prevalent in the US this would indicate a deliberate attack. </paranoia> |

| #12 TW: NeildMed saline sinus "power" flushes get the whole of the superior and posterior parts of the sinuses into the nasopharyngeal cavity. The push gets further than gravity (neti-pot). If you know a doc, get him to prescribe a povidone-iodine in saline solution so you can do a dilute flush with that stuff (or just buy it yourself over the counter, and mix it down : ask your pharmacist about that) . Kills the virus dead, its what hospitals use prior to surgery in the area. I got that outpatient when they did my balloon sinusplasty. https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2020/09/17/Nasal-solution-may-stop-spread-of-COVID-19-study-finds/1881600350075/ |

| #11 Adding to Cingold’s list (Hi, Cingold!), gargling with salt water helps kill the virus while still in the multiplying stage in the throat, preventing it from ever migrating to the rest of the body. |

| #10 What symptoms is Hope Hicks showing? |

| #9 Actually, that they are NOT *currently* showing many symptoms is a real concerning sign. If they were infected with an ORF8 beefed up version of the COVID-19 virus, the ORF8 viral genetic code allows the virus to evade and invade the immune system response, which is why the COVID viremia CAN BE so deadly because of the higher viral load and lack of effective immune response. With ORF8 promoted infections, the COVID virus spreads throughout all organ systems (including the CNS), wrecking havoc and creating diffuse cellular damage. About half of these people die, while those with “normal” coronavirus just experience the equivalent of a bad flu. They need to wipe out their infection ASAP with drugs like Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, and/or Nitazoxanide, as well as use supplements like zinc, vitamin D, orange peels, green tea, and (especially) wild yam (for the Farnesol) to block viral cellular entry and otherwise create an unfriendly environment for the virus. Bromelain (e.g., from pineapple) also would help to reduce the bradykinin storm which leads to the cytokine storm. |

| #8 Most have already been exposed. Everyone will sooner or later be exposed. DJT and Melania's symptoms are minor and they will recover quickly. When they do, it will be obvious that the best and only course of action is for us to live with this the way we live with every other virus that comes out of China each year. |

| #5 The Left are just sick. They need to be crushed like any terrorist cell. |

| #4 As the ghouls of the left gleefully fantasize about DJT dying of COVID, maybe they should consider that after Reagan survived being shot a lot of air went out of the lefty balloon... |

| #3 I'm reminded of when the German bombers hit Buckingham Palace in 1940. After this attack, the Queen was prompted to express her solidarity with fellow Londoners, remarking: "I am glad we have been bombed. It makes me feel I can look the East End in the face". |

| #2 Editor-In-Chief of Chinese run state media ‘Global Times’ says President Trump and FLOTUS contracting COVID-19 is them “paying the price“ |

| #1 A long read. I loved the Canadian story The Expanse so I had been prepared for the titular reference. A great assembly and timeline of CV-19 origin and function. And I thought I was a paranoid schizo-cynic. |
