minervadoe Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) A Plethora of Pangolins! Geez, can you imagine Sylvester the Cat saying that? They say Covid-19 (express to you from China) came from bats or pangolins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangolin Did you ever see one of these things? Yikes. Quote Pangolins, or scaly anteaters,[2] are mammals of the order Pholidota (from Ancient Greek φολῐ́ς, "horny scale"). Quote Pangolins have large, protective keratin scales covering their skin; they are the only known mammals with this feature. Quote Pangolins are threatened by poaching (for their meat and scales, which are used in Chinese traditional medicine for a variety of ailments including excessive anxiety and hysterical crying in children, women thought to be possessed by devils and ogres, malarial fever, and deafness[4]) and heavy deforestation of their natural habitats, and are the most trafficked mammals in the world.

Huaco Kid Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 That's pretty much it. When we were kids, we'd just pluck the scales off of them as they ran by. And squeeze the juice into our noses. It's like caffeine. The virus most certainly did not come from the Wuhan military bio-research facility. Nuh-uh. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 So... It came from people eating live animals from the open market. This is a wild stretch..., but let's suppose, that people in China have been eating live animals for thousands of years. It could happen. And then suddenly, a virus mutated, and decided to jump into humans (that could really happen). So.... It didn't happen for thousands of years... but happened to the market next to a bio-research facility? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, did you see their picture? It is straight out of the chapter on "When Nocturnal Animals are Shocked by an Artificial Light." It reminds me of a deer in the headlights (but slower, much, much slower). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I don't feel that it got unleashed on purpose. But Trump did it! So he could call martial law, and cancel the elections, forever. But the democrats did it! So they could tank America, as that's the only way that Trump could never be re-elected. But China did it! On purpose. We're not sure where they're coming from. But Russia did it! Because "Trump!", or something. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Way to go National Geographic. Now her, and her baby, will go hungry tonight, because they can't, blindedly, find grubs. Or donuts. We don't know what they eat. No ticks, for them! I think, from that picture, if I made tea from their scales, it would taste like metal. And get me higher than a kite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
