I believe a lot that comes out on Granma, but there must be some error or caveat here.

According to the John Hopkins dashboard link which I provided earlier, Cuba has 1,537 cases, 64 deaths.

Again,

Hmmm... So the US has six times more daily cases of Covid than the UK but only 4 times more people and 40 times more room making social distancing physically easier.... Is this some kind of new math?

idk why MF-45 keeps insisting on his b/s, apart from it being politically expedient for his base: a distraction from his inability to address the problem and reality of all those people in the States dying, the lack of proper PPE's, etc., his failure at "keeping America great/great" financially, so as to still garner/maintain some support in the upcoming election

The facts are that scientists are gaining momentum as to what the origin isn't - i.e. a creation of something in a lab...

"This follows reports that the White House had been pressuring US intelligence community on the claim, recalling the Bush administration’s pressure to “stove pipe” the intelligence before the war in Iraq."

If this is true, it may be just another strategy by MF-45 to continue and justify his economic war with China.

The Guardian has published a fairly comprehensive explanation of why it is unlikely that MF-45's suggestion isn't really plausible, using even more technical scientific info to eventually conclude (at least, provisionally) that this virus "simply spread to humans via a natural event".

What is truly distressing are the poor saps and idiots who continue to believe in conspiracy theories regarding the virus by maintaining and posting their beliefs online, because such postings are inadvertently helping MF-45. Even this morning, Trudeau has to respond to a question re: the possibility of Covid-19 originating in a lab in China... (smh)

CBC News network has announced that there is a 58% increase in hospitalizations as a result of poisoning through the use of disinfectants.

"From people experiencing burning eyes and trouble breathing to children drinking hand sanitizer, there's been a jump in the number of cleaner and disinfectant-related accidental poisonings since the COVID-19 pandemic began, as Canadians try to keep themselves and their homes virus-free.

"According to Health Canada, February and March combined showed a 58 per cent increase from the same period a year earlier in reported exposures related to cleaning products, bleaches, disinfectants, hand sanitizers, and chlorine and chloramine gases.

"Poisonings involving bleach are most common, making up 38 per cent of all calls to poison centres in March."

Personally, I have always been careful about not using too much bleach, as I recall how my mom bleached my fridge (I was 21) while I was at work at my first apartment, and how I developed a wicked headache that night 'cause of the bleach.

The annoying thing is that usually after I have sprayed and cleaned with stuff in the past is that I took off and left my apartment with the window open; and now being stuck in the same apartment (staying-at-home), I have to be a bit more careful and keep the patio door open when I clean, keeping the oven fan on... etc. While the chemicals in some of these products work real well, I have never liked them, as they aren't natural.
