Now I'm getting older: I worry that my aging brain is making me feel crazy. (You too?)
You Know, Folks.... Anytime I think I might NOT be Crazy...then..... At the very least...... I am usually CRYIN', over one thing or another.... Like, maybe PEA Stickers on my Air Conditioner units..... And, just about the ONLY think about crying which ever sounded half-way GOOD to me...is this song.... About Cryin'...... I guess most of you old guys are NOT like me..... And, I.... Am just so glad. I'm So Glad I I'm Glad, I'm Glad, I'm glad.......! But, forget about the Cream song....and instead.... Hope you Old Guys can first Cream over this:....! -

https://www.nature.com/articles/s44161-023-00336-5 Scientists should be wary of using the term "definitive" because it rarely is, and 5 year olds might misunderstand, and think all science is settled after a few months of study. -

Not a theory at all, but sarcasm at your selective acceptance of medical advice. You merrily accept the tests, without a clue how they were produced or function, but shout about masks based on a hunch. As I indicated, people who thought cloth masks didn't work at the start didn't really understand how masks work. You get a similar misunderstanding in the whole car filter debate; there was a huge debate why K&N oiled cloth or HKS foam air filters didn't cause an engine to grenade itself (basically because some people think air filters work like a sieve, and filter based on particle size, not on particle charge). Kids found a way to effectively bunk off school rather quickly https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210705-how-children-are-spoofing-covid-19-tests-with-soft-drinks https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-53383-8 You obviously missed the theory that the throat swab included with the Chinese made rapid tests was coated with nanoparticles. The mass distrubution of rapid tests were, to an extent, part of the theatre conducted to attempt to control the outbreak. The masks had a filtering function, but their most powerful effect was through behaviour modification, lines on the floor in supermarkets, handwash stations, lockdowns. None of them would be fully adhered to, but the intention was really to limit admissions. Chinese hospitals were initially over whelmed. Subsequent Chinese control measures meant that the admissions to their temporary hospitals were relatively modest. Italian hospitals came close to being overwhelmed, but local innovation prevented that. In the UK, the Nightingale Hospitals were in the end redundant, because of a combination of control measures and improved standards of care. The RAF were pretty serious in their C130 touch and go drills at City Airport, and tere were efforts to do a full 40 minute turn around of ambulances through the MOD. The antigen tests met acceptable performance under idealised conditions, But that was never matched in the field. People didn't swab throats properly, or their nose. They put too much buffer on, or not enough. The people at th testing stations were barely trained, so accuracy was less than ideal, but the testing, en masse, was enough to give a sense of direction. Thats why usage fell off the edge of a cliff in April. Usage is limited right now to syndromic surveillance, where that tersting is more under idealised conditions, with properly trained nurses testing, and conducting controls. Interesting theory #2; Sars-Cov-2 was uncovered by itinerant Chinese potash miners. Another idea was that investments by overseas banks had pushed Chinese smallholders onto virgin land, and thus into contact with novel diseases. There is an immunological reason why bats tend to be the origins of viruses that can really do a number on the human body. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
A fairly easy to read explainer which says that the SRT can make a person UK tax resident, even if the number of days spent in another country, makes them tax resident there also. Whilst technically not tax resident perhaps in the UK under formal rules, tax that arises there is still due and payable. The net affect being tax residency in two countries. https://www.uhy-uk.com/insights/becoming-non-uk-resident-can-you-escape-grasp-uk-taxation -

Oh really? Really???? Let's see, shall we, MicroB? “There have been many studies attempting to prove whether the virus is infecting cells of the inner blood vessel wall or not. “By conducting our experiments using real, infectious virus rather than fragments of the virus’s spike protein, we can definitively say it is not.” https://www.uq.edu.au/news/article/2021/10/vascular-disease-covid-19-not-caused-viral-infection-of-blood-vessels Oh dear. Does that mean you were talking nonsense, MicroB? It does, doesn't it? These studies support the conclusion that SARS-CoV-2 does not confer endothelial cell damage and vascular thrombosis through direct viral infection of those cells. They further demonstrate that the levels of circulating virus are too low to infect even endothelial cells that express very high levels of hACE2, and therefore that most COVID-19 pathology arises due to aerosol infection of the nasal and pulmonary epithelium. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10562591/ Yeah, looks like it does. Oh well.- 1

Yes it does. And clearly you don't understand the science. Your links don't support your claim that Covid is a "vascular "disease. For instance your nature article just talks about the effects Covid can have on the vascular system. You obviously simply fail to understand that COVID-19 can impact the entire body and cause a wide range of symptoms and complications. However, the latest research shows that the vascular symptoms of COVID-19 are caused by inflammation and not COVID-19. This means COVID-19 is still considered a respiratory disease, but it can have serious effects on the vascular system. Medical professionals and researchers have been studying the link between COVID-19 and vascular symptoms since the beginning of the pandemic. They have learned that people with severe COVID-19 are at a risk of strokes, blood clots, and other vascular complications. These observations led to several hypotheses that COVID-19 was a vascular disease with respiratory symptoms and not a respiratory disease. Studies in 2020 and 2021 supported this theory. These studies concluded that although people with mild to moderate COVID-19 only had respiratory symptoms, COVID-19 was primarily a vascular disease. However, additional studies published later in 2021and into 2022 have contraindicated these findings. New studies indicate that COVID-19 doesn’t attack the vascular system at all. https://www.healthline.com/health/covid-respiratory-or-vascular Like I said, not hard to understand, MicroB. You just need to read up a bit more. I'm sure you'll get there.- 1

Ok. But for tax treaty purposes, where, again, you have to determine which country is your tax treaty country of tax residence ('cause of the exclusionary or primary taxation rights language), you have to resort to the treaty's tie breaker language. From the link you provided: -

Sorry, I'm not the one posting rubbish. Only the bloke not from Catalonia is. The Spanish study was very speculative, given the nature of the lab, but there was very strong evidence reaching back to July 2019 that the virus was in circulation. You're clutching at Google straws. -

Does Donald Trump Have Dementia?
[The debate moderators] “didn’t correct her once, and they corrected me everything I said, practically—I think nine times or eleven times—and the audience was absolutely—they went crazy. I walked off, I said, that was a great debate, I loved it,” Trump said. But there was no audience present for that event. Can anyone explain why Trump would think there was an audience at the debate? -

Russian Disinformation Campaign Targets Kamala Harris with False Accusations
Well, maybe to YOU there was no audience! Fake news! If DT says the audience went wild then that is what happened, and no one left early. The size of the crowd that came out for him was much much bigger than the ones for Harris. Why would he lie? Tomorrow's headline today: DT says people are leaving early because they are worried about their pets being eaten. -

It does nothing of the sort. You don't understand science. You just went and googled something to prove you were right and googled an article from a Catalan website published in 2021 that was AI translated into English. You don't even know who wrote that piece. https://www.mdpi.com/2075-1729/14/5/545 https://www.nature.com/articles/s44161-023-00336-5 https://academic.oup.com/eurjpc/advance-article/doi/10.1093/eurjpc/zwae070/7611954 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0753332223011125 https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ATVBAHA.124.321085 https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacadv.2024.101070 https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/medicine/articles/10.3389/fmed.2024.1294432/full https://annals.edu.sg/cardiovascular-effects-of-covid-19-in-children/ etc -

Yah, there's a giant conspiracy to covertly set up Covid tests to generate positives for Rhinovirus. Okay. The Chinese I presume? Batwoman? Any other interestiing theories, MicroB? Lol.
