What does that have to do with HIV??? HIV is not the only disease that can be transmitted before symptoms show.


So, you are upset because i only name one, but not all of them?

That is exactly the sort of crap that you spout which makes people want to ignore everything you say. You can't be trusted to provide useful and accurate information, so you are ignored.

You spit out a lots more craps and insults.

I point out your crap. Comparing this disease to HIV is without value at best and inflammatory at worst. This is the same crap you have been doing since the issue started.

Both HIV and Covid-19 are infectious with silence incubation period. Why is that inflammatory?

There is no reason to mention HIV in the context of COVID-19. HIV is an uncurable disease that nearly everyone is deathly afraid of. If you can't see why it would be inflammatory to compare the two I don't know how to make it more clear for you.

Also, they are not very comparable in this regard. COVID-19 has a short period of two weeks or so when someone can be infected and transmissible, without knowing. Beyond that point they either know they have it, or they clean themselves of the disease without ever knowing they had it.

HIV can remain symptomless for many months allowing a person to infect many others directly if the sort of contact required happens. Same is true of hepatitis and other deadly diseases.

COVID0-19 is much more like other colds, flus and related infections where you can transmit the disease before you have become symptomatic. Why drag into this a disease that shares virtually nothing with COVID-19?

There never seems to be a way to reach you and get you to understand the absurdities you write here. This was true of your nonsense of driving a short trip EV on long trips. Now it is even worse with you trying to inflame emotions about a disease that people need to understand logically and keep emotion out of.

Covid-19 is an uncurable disease (at least for now) that nearly everyone is deathly afraid of.

Of course it is curable for the vast majority of people. You give it time and it passes, just like the common cold. This is exactly the sort of inflammatory BS you are spewing.

Not "nearly everyone" is deathly afraid of this disease. It is possible I am getting over it right now. Hard to tell since for most people it is about the same as having the flu.

Also, they are not very comparable in this regard. COVID-19 has a short period of two weeks or so when someone can be infected and transmissible, without knowing.

They are cases that proved you wrong.

The disease has only been around for two months, so how damn long can someone incubate this disease???

Just like all your crap, you don't provide any sources for anything you state because you probably read about it in the same chat room where they told you the disease was created in a Chinese laboratory.

Beyond that point they either know they have it, or they clean themselves of the disease without ever knowing they had it.

HIV can remain symptomless for many months allowing a person to infect many others directly if the sort of contact required happens. Same is true of hepatitis and other deadly diseases.

No, just you. You are the source of disinformation here. You seem to take your job very seriously too.

If you survive the initial infection, your immune system can clean out the virus. You can cure yourself, and most people do.

Also, they are not very comparable in this regard. COVID-19 has a short period of two weeks or so when someone can be infected and transmissible, without knowing.

There are cases that proved you wrong.

There are a few cases where people have got sick more than a fortnight after their last known contact with a person known to be infected.

Since we don't know if they had more recent contact with a person who was infectious but never developed symptoms or got tested, this don't constitute conclusive proof.

Beyond that point they either know they have it, or they clean themselves of the disease without ever knowing they had it.

HIV can remain symptomless for many months allowing a person to infect many others directly if the sort of contact required happens. Same is true of hepatitis and other deadly diseases.

and same for covid-19.

It's possible, but even if it does happen (and it probably doesn't) it's rare and unlikely - a very different situation from HIV. The HIV virus found a place to hide from the immune system. Covid-19 and the other corona viruses haven't.

COVID0-19 is much more like other colds, flus and related infections where you can transmit the disease before you have become symptomatic. Why drag into this a disease that shares virtually nothing with COVID-19?

I guess all the world governments are spreading disinformation about this. Nothing to worry about it then.

Your guesswork is predictably alarmist.

It's pretty unlikely that Rick C does either - or a least nowhere near enough to justify the time he spends posting.

And yet you continue to spam! Actually, you are more of a troll.

And you are a spammer.

Edward is spamming to propagate the idea that the Chinese administration are a bunch of lying crooks - which they are to some extent, along with every other government around the world - and his motivation appears to be more political than informative.

His political convictions seem to be his motivation for attempting to mislead us about what is going on in China. It's a very poor excuse for posting misleading nonsense.

Edward, see the single line containing two dashes above Rick's signature
block? They're the two lines that indicate the start of a signature block.

If you were using a decent news reader, the whole block is greyed out or
hidden entirely. If you're still annoyed by it, that's entirely downto
*you*.

I don't generally see Rick's posts(*) because he's an argumentative twat
with little real insight, but he does have a right to put whatever he
likes into his signature.

(*) and now you're in the same group
