Here are some articles about the issue (some of them appear to be more informed than others):

The linked article talks about how nations are stockpiling their food instead of exporting it, and that this could cause major food problems, rising prices, etc. and that countries in the worst economic situations will suffer the most (but it makes it sound like everyone will suffer a lot).

EDIT: This isn't a pro-conspiracy post. It's something I noticed that I'm trying to understand and evaluate.

I'm looking at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#nav-today

Looking at the global statistics for COVID-19, they just don't make sense. Presumably, about as many people in the world are getting infected per day as they ever have been. We have 1,019,018 total cases, globally, and only 3,953 new cases on the last reported day.

1019018/3953 = ~257.78

Let that sink in. With the infection rate today, it would have taken about 258 days at the same rate to get where we are today, globally (if you just look at the USA, it's even more days). How did we get so many total infections, with so few new cases per day?

The first COVID-19 case was said to have been discovered in November.

The first reported case in the USA was 20 Jan 2020.

245373/496 = ~494.7

It would have taken about 495 days of new reported infections at the current rate to have gotten to where we are today, in the USA. As far as I've seen, new infections haven't been a terrible lot higher per day at any point, even if they have been higher.

We've got the same issue with total deaths compared to daily new deaths reported.

To get the number of deaths in the USA we have now, we would have had to have had an average of 83.5 deaths per day (since January 20th), but we only had 25 on the last reported day, which is presumably the most deaths we've had so far in a day.

Here's a great article about Stachys byzantina, which claims that it is quite edible, and non-toxic, with a somewhat fruity taste: https://plantcaretoday.com/lambs-ear-plant-poisonous.html

The purpose of this thread is to outline concepts and things related to executive function, for reference purposes. Note that the lists here may not be exhaustive, but this page may be edited from time to time.

List of concepts:
• Attentional control
• Cognitive flexibility
• Cognitive shifting
• Cognitive inhibition
• Fluid intelligence
• Inibitory control
• Nootropics (drugs/herbs/supplements that affect executive function, among other things)
• Planning
• Task switching
• Working memory

List of shows designed to help improve executive function:
• Wishenpoof!

Herbs I want to investigate, with regard to effects on executive function:
• Stachys (including betony and Florida radish): Reported effects of betony on people who use computers a lot are what got me thinking it might influence executive function.

Articles or websites related to executive function:
• Tips to help improve working memory

Conditions that may impact executive function:
• ADHD
• Epilepsy
• OCD
• Tourette Syndrome

This is an interesting article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4889459/

It talks about how people with SARS who had a lomger incubation period tended to have less severe disease than those with a short incubation period.

This article talks about something I've never heard about before. So, I thought I'd post it. I have no plans to try this specific formulation, but I am very interested in the iodine aspects of it, and what the article has to say about it. Be warned that you'll probably want to read the whole thing if you actually try it (there are important warnings that aren't near the beginning): https://en.rfarmfresh.com/994-spraying-tomatoes-with-serum-with-iodine.html

Many people think iodine is just unnecessary and dangerous. It can be dangerous, yes. You don't need to add it, per se, true. But, there are still reasons a person might want to do it. 1. Increased iodine content in your food (not everyone wants to use iodized salt for their only source of iodine). 2. Increased fungus-reistance. 3. Increased shelf-life. 4. The pre-transplant boost it talks about in the article.

That is, assuming all those things are true.

We just had an earthquake! (At 5:54-5:55 PM Mountain Time.) A relative of mine about six hours drive away in Nevada exerpienced a similar one at the same time. They lasted about 20-30 seconds. It felt like there was some construction going on right by me, and I thought a relative in the kitchen was doing it with something or other at first. The house seems to be fine, other than some brass that fell off a shelf.

I felt a feeling like a mix between anxiety (the excited sort, and not the worrisome sort) and static electricity, but the electrical feeling could have been my imagination.

I thought this forum was fascinating: http://es-forum.com

It a place where people with electrical sensitivities can talk about stuff. I don't have a lot of the issues they talk about, but I am quite light-sensitive (both to visible light and some kinds of radio waves), which is why I'm posting this. Plus, it's a Nabble forum! So is ours.
