Speculating now because I am bored out of my skull and suffer from insomnia - but I do wonder what was really the truth behind Gaius Germanicus 'Caligula' - and Nero?
It seems in the popular perception written by Seutonius and Tacitus (the ancient equals of the 'Daily Star') after their deaths is believed and that they were monsters bur the truth but it's not easily known because history is always written by the winners.
I suspect we will never know.

Wasn' t Caligula OK until he got some kind of brain fever (Meningitis)? As for Nero, I guess when you're on bitty all your life and shagging your ma, things get a bit mixed up.

I think you need something a bit lighthearted to help with sleep JD.

Personally I think going online when you can't sleep is the worst thing to do.
Read a book, preferably fiction, or have the radio on quietly, if dark thoughts invade try to think of some pleasant encounter or memory, we all have them stored away.

Right, this is how ridiculous things are getting in the US now.
I read this site every day because many of the world's leading palaeontologists are members.
This is the first time it has been invaded by such a bigot.
Read through the the comments by 'Aviva' from the 18th (someone who is obviously a black racist of the very worst kind) the lovely Emily being slagged off for no reason that I can see as her show 'Prehistoric Road Trip' is a wonderful and educational little gem of a program.
I wonder if they are a troll or really believe the shit they are spouting?

I'm not disputing she's misguided, and I'm amazed she can still practice. But she's got some balls, I'll give her that.
She probably has - the alien DNA and demons gave her some big hairy ones growing from her back. :surprise:
I loved watching Trump storm out of the press conference when the CNN reporter pressed him on his support for this freak - yet again throwing his dummy out like a toddler being refused a sweetie!

BBC got most of that article from the daily beast
There were many Drs on that video but the media only cherry-pick the ones to talk about.
Yes, that Dr has some strange beliefs but she is from a country that voodoo etc is a religion to many and believed by many. she is still a qualified Dr who treats people for everyday illness and diseases What qualifications does Gates have? absolutely none, yet the media hang on his every word.
She is right in some of what she says but they are using it to mock her, there is a vaccine in progress maybe even being used by now to stop people feeling spiritual
Experimenting with Spirituality: Analyzing The God Gene in a Nonmajors Laboratory Course
When she spoke about alien DNA in vaccines did she mean alien to the person receiving the vaccine? or does she mean Alien as in another out of this world being? one happens, the other could be a possibility
In a January 2018 expert witness disposition, Dr. Stanley Plotkin admits to using 76 aborted fetuses to develop human cell lines to make the MMR vaccine at that time. Plotkin states that this was just ONE of many studies he personally worked on and that many more babies were harvested for other vaccine studies. They harvested fetal hearts, lungs, kidneys, skin, and spleens (and more) to develop vaccines. Plotkin also admits to experimenting on orphans, mentally handicapped individuals, and babies whose mothers were in prison. Stanley Plotkin Disposition January 11, 2018:
Strangely enough hydroxychloroquine one of the most tested drugs there is and used for many things even on pregnant women and children and hailed as a wonder drug has now become dangerous because Trump said it was a good thing for covid19
There is plenty more evidence just makes sure you set your search dates before covid19
There must be people, that feel something isn't right about all this, how the advice flip flops, feeling the stats are being manipulated? How people dying from many other things are being put down as covid deaths, test being faked test being counted twice. Do you really feel this is a pandemic, a real pandemic like Spanish flu, we have had many viruses since then that killed many more than covid19 did we have this reaction to it? If you never watched TV or read a paper would you even know there was a deadly virus?
The other Drs speaking out ( there are many more that speak out that are not part of that group.)
Simone Gold, MD - Emergency Medicine Specialist in Los Angeles, CA and has over 31 years of experience in the medical field. She graduated from Rosalind Franklin University Of Medicine Science/The Chicago Medical School medical school in 1989. She is affiliated with Centinela Hospital Medical Center.

He graduated from Western Univ Of Health Sciences/College Of Osteopathic Medicine Of The Pacific, Western University Of Health Sciences medical school in 2004. (While both degrees mean your doctor is a licensed physician, their training differs slightly, and each has a unique perspective on care. “An M.D. follows an allopathic medical training path, whereas a D.O. follows osteopathic,”)
Dr. James Todaro, MD - a Ophthalmology Specialist received his medical degree from Columbia University, Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons in NY, and completed his surgical training with four additional years of residency in ophthalmology.

Another doctor who was not present at the press conference, but has spoken out and was quoted:
Dr. Harvey A Risch MD, PhD - MD degree from the University of California San Diego and PhD from the University of Chicago. Currently works at Department of Chronic Disease Epidemiology, Yale School of Public Health. After serving as a postdoctoral fellow in epidemiology at the University of Washington, Dr. Risch was a faculty member in epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of Toronto before coming to Yale.
Interesting article. It sounds a nightmare right now but I like the idea of the germ falcon and phone soap. The germ falcon in particular is a good idea as flying is putting a lot of people off. Aeroplane cabins in some parts of the world are already disinfected with passengers in situ as a defence against dengue and zika.

I am not interested in preposterous conspiracy theories about Bill Gates or that COVID-19 is not a 'real' Pandemic - the families of the 46,000 people who have tragically passed here so far might have something to say about that.
The advice changes because this is a new Zoonotic virus, the more evidence that accumulates the more information we have on how to combat it.
Oh and I would rather people hang on to someone like Bill Gates's every word than dangerous charlatans like Ike and Wakefield.
When the world finally has a reliable vaccine for COVID-19 I wonder just how many will refuse it and thus putting others lives in danger?
Oh and one for stopping people from feeling spiritual?
Nah.

Where did this tangent come from? I can see no conspiracy theories about Gates in that post, just saying Gates is not qualified in any medical field isn't a conspiracy theory, that is an actual fact.
Icke and Wakefield? where are they in the post? Are you seeing things?
I watched that video about the god gene and its pretty creepy, is that Bill Gates speaking?
I might not agree with everything in that post but yes I have questioned what is going on. Things are not adding up. Since I see those DRs I have been digging a bit and it really does seem to be that hydroxychloroquine was very much highly rated amongst Drs. I can't make out what is going on.
