Re: Re: BIgV
Ah, sorry about the confusion! I loved the study of DNA & RNA. Absolutely intriguing.
Thank you!

Re: BIgV
Thank you for that explanation. However, I meant I had no idea what was going to happen here due to the politics and the report, note I say 'report,' that there were the most deaths the day before yesterday in LA County due to COV-19.
I understand virology. My father was a scientist so I was brought up in an atmosphere of hard-science based fact vs. theory. I even won first place in a three-county science fair way back when, as dorky as it sounds. I chose to not make that my major, but were I to do it all over again, I'd choose quantum or particle physics, or genetics with emphasis on DNA replication and/or RNA function. lol. I love it.

Re:
Having a degree from Michigan in 'the biological sciences,' I'm quite familiar with the virus/bacterial growth and fallout pattern. The initial onset is what they call the 'lag period.' The virus/bacteria is making itself at home and is rearranging cells to make your body work against you. Once that happens, it begins to replicate itself. This is called the 'bloom period.' You get a huge surge in the disease as it begins to make baby viruses/bacterias. Finally, it hits its fall off period where the adults die off, hoping that their babies survive.
Thankfully, the human body is a magnificent machine. It learns that that particular germ was a bad 'guest,' and it learns that when it encounters it again, it needs to do 'A, B, C, and then D' to get rid of it. That's why we get vaccinations as children. I grew up on the late edge of the polio pandemic. Several kids I went to school with all developed polio. It killed four of my classmates and seriously crippled at least a dozen kids that I knew. Now there is a vaccine that kills the bacteria as it enters the body. Same with small pox. I got that vaccination that left that huge scar on my left arm. I can still see that thing!
I am betting what within a few months, they will have a vaccine for this version of flu, and it is a flu, because it is one of the several known corona viruses, they will bring this thing under control. That is how they managed to get it under control in the labs so fast. They already knew 95% of its 'habits and methods.' They just needed to know how it varied from the virus that they know about. Once they saw the variation, they figured out on how to stop it. When you hear them say that they have 'sequenced' the virus, they are looking at its genetic code like a builder looks at a floor plan. Once they see the floor plan, they can figure out what they need to do to bring down its 'house of cards.'

I have no idea what's going on here! Yesterday was the most deaths in L.A. county from the virus. I think they would like it to be city by city determining what happens where in CA. We will see.

Re:
This woman gives democrats a bad name. She's part of the far left leftists trying to 'fundementally transform' us into Venezuela. She is actively 'auditioning' to be Biden's VP pick, but I'm reading over on 'The Hill,' a very liberal site that she may have taken a 'bridge too far' with her over reactions. She backs the mail your vote in initiative. Yeah... what could possibly go wrong there? If you listen to the news, she is the governor that has been in the headlines for her strict and obvious over reach of gubernatorial powers. The Michigan House is suing her for her overreach. This is her retribution for the people of Michigan who peacefully assembled in Lansing in protest. She loudly declared that she would increase the lock down just to piss them off.... and that is what today's pronouncement was about. She wanted to spit in the face of the people of Michigan. This will not end well for her.
I was in Port St. Lucie when they pulled that vote stuff crap on Gen Alan West. Several of us WATCHED them go out to two cars in the parking lot and bring in six boxes of 'votes' that were quite coincidently all pre-voted... and not one of those thousands of votes was for Gen. West. NOT ONE. Coincidence? My fat white butt. That was blatant cheating. He lost the vote tally by about 100 votes... and quite coincidently, they stopped 'finding' votes when the other guy pulled ahead of the General. He took this obvious theft of an election in stride better than I would have, but he gathered all of his poll workers together and told us that God would get us through. I had a lot of respect for teh guy going in and even more going out.

That's what our church does...They have 15-20 TV Cameras. It's the very same services and the camera angles block out the emptiness.

Do you have that Democrat Woman Governor that they are protesting at the Capitol? She doesn't seem to be very popular!

She has closed us until at least May 15th. I got a buck that says she won't stop there. Anyone with half a brain knows what she is up to, but it is backfiring. I know a lot of people who voted her simply because of the marijuana initiative. Even the heavy duty potheads I know are promising that when she is brought to recall (and she is going to be recalled... count on it), the people of Michigan will vote her happy communist butt out of office.

We still have to wear masks and practice social-distancing. Our essential jobs are open, but I see people are refusing to comply which will only serve to get even more people sick.
