> Just need a commodity web host to slap it up on. I suggest NearlyFreeSpeech. It has an outdated UI and it's very DIY, but the pricing is very good. They have an option for static sites, with a lower price.

Does this explain asymptomatic cases? Maybe people don't develop symptoms because they have cold-related antibodies that don't let COVID develop. Can these people still shed and transmit SARS-CoV-2?

People's decisions today are so influenced by media that fake news become acceptable (like white lies). Media has to act as the Catholic Church did in ancient times. It has to make up some stories to control people's behavior. Toi

This coronavirus event will certainly inspire evil middle-eastern terrorist groups to begin researching on bio-weapons. When they discover how easy it is to synthesize base pairs, we are utterly fucked.

It would be nice to hear from a virology / genome editing expert on his/her thoughts about the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 being engineered. There are lots of theories, but I'd love to hear the mechanics of how it could happen.

I love this video. It's such a great visualization, simple and clear, and gets the point across while being entertaining. And it's from 1937! We have so many video editing and effects tools today, but sometimes simpler is best.

This article treats the 'incel' phenomenon as a security threat, just like ISIS and Al Qaeda, instead of looking at it as a social problem and trying to solve it. Doing this is the same as declaring 'war on drugs' instea
