So let me get this straight about this virus

It’s “new” yet it was lab created and patented in 2015 (in development since 2003).

The patent expired today, on the day the first case is announced in the US.

The patent also tells us the CDC helped make this! “This invention was made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an agency of the United States Government. Therefore, the U.S. Government has certain rights in this invention.”

And now magically a vaccine is in the works for it already? Yet the patent in 2015 already references a vaccine for it.

But what do I know I’m just a conspiracy theorist.

Researchers from the University of California Berkeley have identified 52 edible weeds growing in abundance in the poorest neighborhoods of San Francisco, surrounded by busy roads and industrial zones.

At least six of them are more nutritious than kale, according to a new study.

The three low-income neighborhoods the researchers studied have been classified as “urban food deserts” — meaning they are more than a mile from the nearest shop that sells fresh produce.

Of the 52 species of wild-growing “weeds” they found, they tested six for nutrition content:

Chickweed
Dandelion
Dock
Mallow
Nasturtium
Oxalis

All six were more nutritious, by most accounts, than kale – arguably the most nutritious domesticated leafy greens.

The weeds boasted more dietary fiber, protein, vitamin A, calcium, iron, vitamin K, and provided more energy.

Tom: Given from where they were sourced I would have liked them to do toxin testing too!

Not a good cook, not a good look, 700 worms!

Article takeaways:

Don’t undercook your pork!

Or eschew it!

And wash your hands after going to the loo!

The page has a collection of quotes and videos it is worth watcing.

During his press conference last week, the sheriff listed 15 apps as ones that parents need to know about. (Six of them were used by suspected predators who were recently arrested.)

The first is ‘MeetMe,’ an app where teens can easily be in contact with users much older than them, with an emphasis on dating.
‘WhatsApp’ and ‘SnapChat’ are for messaging, but what you should know is teens can send unlimited messages, have video chats and even share their live location with other users, people they may not even know.
‘Skout’ is a flirting app that’s used to meet and chat with new people. Teens and adults are in different groups, but ages aren’t verified.
‘TikTok’ is used for sharing user created videos that can contain bad words, even adult content.
‘Badoo’ and ‘Bumble’ are dating apps for adults, but teens can still find ways to join.
‘Grindr’ is geared towards the LGBTQ community. It allows users to share photos and meet up based on phone’s GPS location.
‘Kik’ is specifically for kids, but anyone can join and anyone can contact or direct message your child.
‘LiveMe’ is a live streaming app, but you don’t know who’s watching and your kids location is revealed.
‘Holla’ is all about connecting strangers around the world through video chat. Enough said.
‘Whisper’ is a social confessional where kids can remain anonymous, but still share their feelings. And it can reveal your child’s location for a meet up.
‘ASKfm’ encourages people to allow anonymous users to ask them questions, which opens the door for online bullying.
‘Hot or Not’ rates users on attractiveness.. There’s no age verification and users can send each other messages.
And lastly, ‘Calculator%’ apps are several secret apps that allows kids to hide their photos, videos, even browser history.
