Am I the only one blinking, blinking when looking at Andrea’s fuzzy video? 👀

[@jonnash5196]

Not everyone knows what a dashboard is as used in this discussion. . it would be good to clarify this .

[@RXP91]

Thank you so much for these updates, it really saves me from browsing the nonsense of twitter to glean useful information on the pandemics

[@James-ke5sx]

Most Farms have undocumented workers who are not going to get tested. If this spreads to cows in India there are over 5 million sacred cows wondering around and people drink raw milk. What could possibly go wrong?

[@James-ke5sx]

Dr. Barb Petersen, the Texas veterinarian who first reported bird flu in cows in early March saidAt the same time, on almost every farm with sick animals, Petersen said she saw sick people, too.
“We were actively checking on humans,” Petersen said. “I had people who never missed work, miss work.”

Wearing a respirator should be the first of NPI to be recommended not last! Hand washing is great against novovirus but pretty irrelevant v Covid.

Andrea seems to be losing her voice I hope she’s not sick!
Great update as always. Thank you

[@casapilanola]

Thank you for the information. She would perhaps benefit from ginger tea or a throat lozenge like Riccola to help that gravel in her throat. It makes the programming hard to listen to (the gravelly texture.) Please help her fix that so that your videos are improved. She could also get professional vocal training. That might help as well. Otherwise, please know your content and programming is much appreciated!

Go with a plant-based, whole-food diet.

PCR TESTS ONLY TEST FOR YOUR FAMILY SUCH AS ANCESTRY YOU HOWEVER ARE A DIFFERENT PERSON

[@teresakarr8328]

Whoop whoop

[@curiousfurious5877]

[@Mis-AdventureCH]

You have zero credibility at this point.
