The ones they shoot are the lucky ones. A relatively clean death followed by a funeral

Plenty more get disappeared.... effectively snatched off the streets and never seen again. Their police are a cartel and the poor have nowhere to turn, victimised by gangs and the police

Interesting summaries from WHO:

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-infectious-disease-analysis/news--wuhan-coronavirus/

WHO calculate the number of cases to be around 4000. With a possible range of 1,000 - 9,700. This is due to their new model speculating that each infected case had the potential to infect an average of 2.6 people.

I swear its vegans giving it the old "Its because they eat bat soup" lol ........ is there any evidence behind that or is it just another smear campaign by the new zealots of society?

Although I do agree, the Chinese culinary delicacies often have me looking to barf.

Prostate overtakes breast as 'most common cancer'.

Prostate cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in England, overtaking breast cancer for the first time...

Be aware of it chaps. Watch out for the signs and if you’re in the slightest bit worried, go and see your doctor.

I've heard every guy will get prostate cancer at some point if they live long enough and that most guys > 80 die with it (not necessarily from it).

Also seems like more and more men are getting screened at younger ages, so that could explain it too.

I think some people have a false perception of it that it just sits there doing not much harm. For some that may be the case...... but it killed my grandfather. Killed him because like all cancers, it can spread and become other cancers, and thats how it gets you.

It was under control, looking like it was in full remission.... he went back for a check up and in a little over three months it had spread everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Died shortly afterwards from four separate types of cancer, all originated from the prostate cancer.

Its a killer.

Just did a really long poo. Blocked the toilet

About 11 inches I reckon. Feeling justifiably proud. Randy Marsh would approve
