Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I don't know if it is common there, but here, for just a pile of fuel and some dinking around, you can 'hoar in' a work area, and heat it. Plus, you get to say 'hoared in' and 'hoaring' a lot.

Quick - attack the source!

https://en-volve.com/2021/01/21/on-very ... ses-rates/
On the exact same day that Joe Biden was inaugurated into office, the World Health Organization tightened their criteria for who is diagnosed as a positive COVID-19 case.

This has to be a coincidence, right? I mean, what are the odds?

Now, a single positive PCR test for the virus isn’t going to cut it anymore.

For some reason, as of inauguration day, the organization decided that those tests for the virus we’ve been relentlessly assured are the gold standard for detecting infection are, in reality, just a mere “aid for diagnosis.”
I don't know the source, so they are as sketchy as CNN, Q or OAN
The World Health Organisation changed the criteria for who is diagnosed as a positive COVID-19 case six days ago, but yeah, that looks suspicious. It would look suspicious even if it had changed the criteria on inauguration day, for everyone knows that people will wrongly believe that Biden is better at fighting the epidemic than Trump solely on account of that change.
Correction: The Notice for IVD Users was written on the 13th of January, but not released until the 20th.

That said, it is basically a reminder for laboratory professionals and users of IVDs to follow the WHO guidance Diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2. The criteria for who is diagnosed as a positive COVID-19 case are not new. They are cited in that document. The document is dated 11 September 2020.

You going to get the jab before you go? Eswatini is probably using the dodgy China vaccine.

Yes. The manual last updated on 11 September 2020.

It's interesting how the message gets twisted by some right wing activist, how it spreads in right wing social media like a virus in a Petri dish, and how people with a right wing frame of mind accept it without further ado. Their gullibility is astounding. And then they have the nerve to accuse others of not reading material that goes against their grain.

Definitely. I signed up on the website and am waiting for an appointment now. I'm an old fart so I'm up front of the line. So far we're only using the mRNA vaccines here but expect to start using Astra Zenica once the FDA approves. Eswatini won't use the China one, they recognize Taiwan and Taiwan pays for a LOT of the King's shit.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Yes, I've heard there's a market for Royal poop.

I think you mean hoarding. We used to do that on construction for winter pours of concrete. Heated the area inside with large propane heaters.

I might be mispronouncing it, but it isn't that cold where you are from, so maybe it's a northern variant.

My kid brother pours concrete. When I last saw him doing it in the cold, they hoarded the 14th floor, and heated it to pour the 15th. Chilly workers.
