Covid-19 (coronavirus) quackery



ezs note:  This is a short piece, but no less important.  Unfortunately, as soon as a virus starts, the quackery starts within seconds,  Fortunately, the good people of AFP (Agence-France Presse)  is letting you know about it here. Once again,  the more people you know about this, the better, so please get the word around.  Another way to get there is as follows:  https://factcheck.afp.com/these-14-claims-covid-19-are-viral-misleading


Nota de EZS: Esta es una pieza corta, pero no menos importante. Desafortunadamente, tan pronto como comienza un virus, la charlatanería comienza en cuestión de segundos. Afortunadamente, la buena gente de AFP (Agence-France Presse) se lo está informando aquí. Una vez más, cuanta más gente conozca sobre esto, mejor, así que por favor corra la voz. Otra forma de llegar es la siguiente: https://factcheck.afp.com/these-14-claims-covid-19-are-viral-misleading


ezs note: Ceci est une pièce courte, mais non moins importante. Malheureusement, dès qu'un virus se déclenche, le charlatanisme démarre en quelques secondes. Heureusement, les braves gens de l'AFP (Agence-France Presse) vous en font part ici. Encore une fois, plus vous en savez sur les gens, mieux c'est, alors faites passer le mot. Une autre façon d'y arriver est la suivante: https://factcheck.afp.com/these-14-claims-covid-19-are-viral-misleading

ezs note:これは短い作品ですが、それほど重要ではありません。残念ながら、ウイルスが開始されるとすぐに、数秒以内に攻撃が開始されます。幸いなことに、AFP(Agence-France Presse)の善良な人々はここであなたにそれを知らせています。繰り返しになりますが、これについて知っている人が多ければ多いほど良いので、周りの人に知らせてください。そこに到達する別の方法は次のとおりです:https://factcheck.afp.com/these-14-claims-covid-19-are-viral-misleading


注意:這是一小段,但同樣重要。不幸的是,一旦病毒開始,嘎嘎聲就會在幾秒鐘內開始。幸運的是,法新社(法新社)的好人正在這裡告訴您。再一次,您對此了解的人越多越好,所以請多多指教。到達那裡的另一種方法如下:https://factcheck.afp.com/these-14-claims-covid-19-are-viral-misleading

Donald Trump - Stephanie Grisham's stunningly bad answer about President Trump and coronavirus

Chris Cillizza
CNN


Stephanie Grisham


please press:  www.cnn.com

ezs note:  Having trouble finding that perfect job?  A few eensy-teensy flaws getting in your way?  Well, Stephanie Grisham had these problems - but she got in the White House!  Catch these problems:  

Following her divorce(s), Grisham was the spokeswoman for AAA Arizona in 2007,[15] but was fired within a year after being accused of cheating on expense reports.[16] Grisham was fired from a subsequent job at ad agency Mindspace over plagiarism charges, copying AAA material verbatim into her client's web page.[16]  (Wikipedia)

Hey, if Stephanie can do it, anybody can do it!  (and I do mean anybody... except for Mexican-Americans...)

Update on Covid-19 (coronavirus)


SARS-Co-V (coronavirus)


ezs note:  Thankfully, the COVID-19 (coronavirus) has eased up a bit in Wuhan, China... but that's only because people there follow the WHO/CDC guidelines!  If you ease up even a little bit, we could be right back where we started from.  Here are some guidelines:  1)  wash your hands thoroughly in potable water and soap for at least 20 seconds.  Do this 2-3 hours a day, more if your hands get soiled.  2) When exiting the bathroom, use a paper towel to open the door.  3)  I know this is difficult,  but keep your fingers out of your mouth, eyes, and nose as much as possible.  4)  Carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer with you wherever you go.  This is especially important where potable water is unavailable.

Right now, there are 108 countries that have people infected with the Covid-19  virus.  This does not mean that the guidelines aren't important; it just means that the virus hasn't shown up yet.  Please circulate this to friends, relatives, hell, even enemies.  Later on, you can argue all you like.  For now, let him or her live.


ezs note: Afortunadamente, el COVID-19 (coronavirus) se ha aliviado un poco en Wuhan, China ... ¡pero eso es solo porque la gente allí sigue las pautas de la OMS / CDC! Si te relajas aunque sea un poquito, podríamos volver al punto de partida. Aquí hay algunas pautas: 1) lávese bien las manos con agua potable y jabón durante al menos 20 segundos. Haga esto 2-3 horas al día, más si sus manos se ensucian. 2) Al salir del baño, use una toalla de papel para abrir la puerta. 3) Sé que esto es difícil, pero mantén tus dedos fuera de tu boca, ojos y nariz tanto como sea posible. 4) Lleve una botella pequeña de desinfectante para manos donde quiera que vaya. Esto es especialmente importante cuando no hay agua potable disponible. En este momento, hay 108 países que tienen personas infectadas con el virus Covid-19. Esto no significa que las pautas no sean importantes; solo significa que el virus aún no ha aparecido. Por favor, haga circular esto entre amigos, familiares, infiernos, incluso enemigos. Más tarde, puedes discutir todo lo que quieras. Por ahora, déjalo vivir.

ezs note: Heureusement, le COVID-19 (coronavirus) s'est un peu détendu à Wuhan, en Chine ... mais c'est uniquement parce que les gens y suivent les directives de l'OMS / CDC! Si vous vous relâchez un peu, nous pourrions être de retour d'où nous sommes partis. Voici quelques conseils: 1) lavez-vous soigneusement les mains à l'eau potable et au savon pendant au moins 20 secondes. Faites-le 2-3 heures par jour, plus si vos mains sont sales. 2) En sortant de la salle de bain, utilisez une serviette en papier pour ouvrir la porte. 3) Je sais que c'est difficile, mais gardez vos doigts loin de votre bouche, de vos yeux et de votre nez autant que possible. 4) Emportez une petite bouteille de désinfectant pour les mains partout avec vous. Ceci est particulièrement important lorsque l'eau potable n'est pas disponible.



À l'heure actuelle, 108 pays comptent des personnes infectées par le virus Covid-19. Cela ne signifie pas que les directives ne sont pas importantes; cela signifie simplement que le virus n'est pas encore apparu. Veuillez le faire circuler à vos amis, parents, enfer, même ennemis. Plus tard, vous pourrez discuter de tout ce que vous voudrez. Pour l'instant, laissez-le vivre.

ezs note:ありがたいことに、COVID-19(コロナウイルス)は中国の武漢で少し緩和されました...それは、そこにいる人々がWHO / CDCのガイドラインに従っているからです!少しでも気楽になれば、元の場所に戻ることができます。ガイドラインを次に示します。1)飲料水と石鹸で少なくとも20秒間手をよく洗ってください。手が汚れた場合は、1日2〜3時間これを繰り返します。 2)バスルームを出るときは、ペーパータオルを使用してドアを開けてください。 3)これが難しいことはわかっていますが、できるだけ指を口、目、鼻から離してください。 4)どこへ行っても手指消毒剤の小さなボトルを持ち運びます。これは、飲料水が利用できない場合に特に重要です。



現在、Covid-19ウイルスに感染した人がいる国は108か国です。これは、ガイドラインが重要ではないという意味ではありません。ウイルスがまだ現れていないということです。これを友人、親relative、地獄、さらには敵に回してください。後で、あなたが好きなすべてを議論することができます。今のところ、彼または彼女を生きさせてください。


ezs note:幸運的是,COVID-19(冠狀病毒)在中國武漢有所緩解...但這僅僅是因為那裡的人們遵守WHO / CDC準則!如果您稍稍放鬆一點,我們可能會回到我們的起點。以下是一些準則:1)用飲用水和肥皂徹底洗手至少20秒鐘。每天2-3個小時進行一次,如果手被弄髒,則需要更多時間。 2)離開浴室時,用紙巾打開門。 3)我知道這很困難,但是請盡量不要讓手指離開口腔,眼睛和鼻子。 4)隨身攜帶一小瓶洗手液。在沒有飲用水的情況下,這一點尤其重要。



目前,有108個國家的人感染了Covid-19病毒。這並不意味著準則並不重要;這只是意味著該病毒尚未出現。請將此內容分發給朋友,親戚,地獄甚至敵人。稍後,您可以爭論所有您喜歡的事情。現在,讓他或她活下去。
