What happens at the SARS-COV-2 GATEWAY?
... the NOSE 👃

The nasal mucosa constitutes the primary entry site for SARS-COV-2. The nasal cavities play an important role, as studies, suggest that SARS-CoV-2 reaches not just the lungs but also the brain via the olfactory epithelium.

FYI:

Can PCR have a false Negative?

The answer is YES

Q: But why don’t we hear about them?

A: Bc PCR is always given the status of “ground truth” - so it can “do no wrong”

Ex: If rapid test is correctly Pos but PCR Neg, Rapid is automatically assumed to be False Pos

I’d like to go on record that I am entirely, unambiguously opposed to unexplained viral hemorrhagic fevers.

(And I am not sure how worried to be on a scale of chill to HOLY SHIT but obviously this is something that is already being acted upon by experts in country. Trust them.)

Wow. This SanDisk SSD model fails at 40,000 hours exactly. Primary and backup servers each had RAID-1 and they all failed at the same time.

When setting up a RAID-1 mirror, always try to pair two SSDs from entirely different chipset makers.
