What are your thoughts, Mori.

I don't want to panic about it. From the bit I've read, it sounds like it is already pretty widespread in dairy cattle, and therefore it's probably interacted a bunch with humans already. And we don't seem to be getting infected with it. So maybe we'll be okay? I worry that maybe it'll mutate and become able to infect us, but who knows how harmful it would be? I guess the fear is, it's been able to become so widespread and the dairy / livestock industries don't seem to be doing much to try to stop that. So if it ever became dangerous, we can't really rely on these industries to protect us and limit the spread of a pathogen in their products.

Not scared about it yet, but keeping an eye for further developments.

It's so sad the state of the world where people have to put these out.

Now, why would they knowingly and deceptively avoid transparency?

Not mad, but why cover up what happened? Why freak out and start deleting stuff when FOIAd?

I'm not sure that I understand what you are arguing. Does a podcast host, even a doctor, need to be an expert on any of it?

Why do we care what random people think about this topic, if they are not experts?

We were talking about the coverup, not specifically about coronvirus itself. You're making it sound like, "If they aren't an expert on the coronavirus specifically, then we don't care about your opinion on the coverup." That's a little silly, don't you think?

Are you saying that he can't talk to anyone on these matters? Why would he have to be an expert on the topics that he has on his podcast?

You aren't an expert on what Dr. Drew is an expert on, so you shouldn't talk about what Dr. Drew can talk about. Isn't that silly?

I really liked the old LoveLine show with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew, but both of them have become MAGA morons and can just fuck off at this point. I don't care what either one of them says about politics. I also don't care what liberal actors like Robert DeNiro have to say, either. Actors' opinions about politics are not important.
