Then you bring in water, OK, now you've changed the equation, so you were wrong but figured out how to be right? Follow my lead son, you'll figger this stuff out eventually. Trying to bring in human anatomy is you just flailing around. Do we need to go back to our discussion about salts? Because to you apparently the only salt is NaCl. And buffering, let's not forget what it means and where it's applied. Go back to the cheat sheet, maybe you'll remember something. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You sound like an entitled millennial who never got grades in school but only received participation awards. In the real world there are real and pragmatic results. I could name dozens of compounds that become "acidic" in water. Just because they can become acid doesn't mean they are already acids. Pretend otherwise all you want but facts are facts. You're playing theory games to try and pretend you're not making mistakes. In the real world you'd be dangerous. Like don't go anywhere near a refinery, or chemical plant, or nuclear plant. Just stay working for the government telling your betters what to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are putting words in their mouth to make them seem unreasonable. 2) this isn't unrealistic. No one else it allowed in and the WHO lavishly praised Chinas response before allowing them in... they praised the situation before they had adequate information to asses... and no one else (including the CDC is being allowed in. Suspicious much? Seems likely they agreed not to release any data. 3)MOST are saying this virus is suspicious given its proteins. Very few, in fact, are saying it's likely natural. Where are you getting your data?!?!?! 4) There's ample reason to doubt the official statistics. There are multiple professors and researchers making models that all have higher estimates, and these estimate all align with independently verifiable information better than the official statistics. (Why the heck would someone shut down 400 million people under house arrest for 1000 fatalities and only 40k infections?) You are the one name calling. You are the one bringing up race and crying racist. You are the one not being civil. And above all that, you are the only one not providing data that hold up to scrutiny (and ignoring peoples successful rebuttals of your unsupported claims). And no, you've been incredibly uncivil, yet I'm still responding quite civilly to you... So I believe ever sentence in your post is utterly false. Just like every post you've made on this thread. What kind of person disputes a fact? 1/ You are entirely incorrect. Fact: Here is the post... Gerry Maddoux. "This is not the first zoonotic virus to come out of China. One is a fluke of nature. Two is troubling. One a year is disturbing. Whatever the source, zoonosis from China is repeatedly putting the world community at risk." In black and white, he accuses China of sources, repeated risk to the world, at the frequency of one per year. But the facts are entirely otherwise. I posted previously a brief chronology of outbreaks. Fact: this nCov is the 1st ever zoo- virus originating from PRC. 2/ If you wish to smear the WHO, that is your bias. You assert the WHO is under PRC control. This is a falsehood and defamation of the WHO. Others respect the WHO. 3/ Prior to this post, nobody provided links. If you and others do not post links to support your bias, why should I? Regardless, having now reviewed links, the fact is ALL are conjecture at the respective time. Anybody can opine and create models; you, me, anybody. But conjecture is not fact. https://www.pasteur.fr/en/medical-center/disease-sheets/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov The Pasteur posted their results for a real-life case. 4/ You are basing your opinion upon conjecture. That is your bias. I do not share such bias. The only person spreading falsehoods is you. Civility prevents me from using the many words, in multiple languages, I have to describe people like you.

I want to be around long enough to protect my family if need be, but if everything goes into the shite I'm not interested in a Mad Max future, no thanks. "If I go I go..." in response to a flash virus that is half way around the world that has a 2% mortality rate? This virus has the same chance of making you "go" as the Japanese Tsunami. As stated before it's Voluntary Fear. Understandable we have nothing else to do at this point in our life. We don't need money. The kids are grown. The wife is tired of hearing it. So you can pretend that somehow this virus matters. But, imagining this virus will make you "go" is like pretending you'll take the Starship to Mars. Neither have anything to do with you, or me, or just about anyone in America unless you're one of the people trapped on a cruise ship.... And anyone "going" who likes getting on cruise ships is ... let's face it... an upgrade for humanity. Let's start naming impossible things that are more likely to get you to go... A falling coconut. A champagne cork.
