The one that says nothing about the virus living dormant like shingles?

That's another claim begging for a source evidence, btw

I'm guessing you're receiving downvotes because that's such an extraordinary claim with no supporting evidence.

So I did a search and actually found this published journal article from July this year.

It did show both active viruses, and active immune responses in biopsied tongue cells of people with taste loss. Some even a year after infection. The activity is too small to be picked up by nasal swab PCR, but they're there.

But your claim of "you'll require medication to kill it completely" may not be entirely true. In all cases within the study, there was immune system activity in the tongue, and eventually the taste buds did recover.

I can't believe there's not more love for Seal in this thread.

Ha. iirc he did have some level of sovereignty. But for such stupid throwaway comment, I admit I didn't actually remember much about what stage of his career overlapped with Lu Bu's...

Commonwealth maybe?

Edit: wiki references seem to indicate it's predominantly ANZ

Also, "what you're doing is real shitty, but we can't really talk about human rights abuses without making ourselves look like hypocrites".

I went to a talk by Israeli & Palestinian reps from PCFF earlier this year in Melbourne. It was heartbreaking, but also encouraging to see people trying to peacefully mend bridges and spreading awareness. Naive, maybe, but it's good to know that some good came out of the atrocities.

This attack by Hamas (and the Israeli response) would've undone decades of their effort. I can't begin to imagine how devastating the latest events would be. It's a sad day for humanity.

This has been happening for centuries though. Cao Cao mandated that first and last names needed to be at least 3 characters in all government forms. This move upset Lu Bu, which decided that war was the only way to settle the issue.

My neighbour was freaking out when she saw in the local newspaper that burglaries in our town had increased by 100%

I pointed out that we had 2 burglaries this year, compared to the 1 last year...
