I wonder about a lot of things.

I am not going to get myself in trouble.

I am going to kick the dog.

We don't have a dog.

Can anyone do anything about relief from this relentless onslaught?

I am sincerely sorry if this thread scared you. I thought the headline was funny but not everyone has my sense of humor. Most of my threads are meant to help, be careful about sneeze clouds, here is a drug combo that some Doctors are using, why I quit playing golf etc.

If you really want relief ask hubby to smash your wifi router and cable box. Not a lot of good news out there right now. The other day I was having a panic attack so I drank a bottle of wine and watched an old movie. That did the trick.

100% Click Bait - you can find anything you don't want to hear. I'm so sick of those goofy ads appearing on every media.

I give you points for having a sense of humor!

Don Jr. was big game hunting in Asia. The hornets came to the US in his boxed up trophy skins.

Another supermarket tabloid gone on-line. Fake news in its purest form.

I need to read further and then read the article that has been linked by the OP. I haven't heard of that source before, but since I have not read the headlines on my computer from a list I keep in my head as credible (sans the frequent opinion pieces that are political) I am skeptical.

agreed. remember we had this scare back in the 70's? only then it was the african honeybee. they even made that 'disaster' movie, 'the Swarm.' it feels like these stories, like urban legends, have a way of making it back into the newstream every 10 years or so

According to "snopes"

if any are found in the US [fact check, please], Snopes, the fact checking site, seems to believe they would have come from a reported nest just North of Washington State.

Are you suggesting that something in the New York Times should be considered anything authoritative or even remotely reliable? Keep that up and you're going to lose your street cred.

At least it's a haven for Pulitzer prize winners compared to The Sun which, like The Hill, is an organ of Fox. It's called a tabloid which is like The National Inquirer, The New York Post, Daily Star and many others. In my mind, much less likely to stick to the facts or have Pulitzer prize honorees.

no joke, i wouldn't doubt that they deliberately started this like they did with the corona virus

mjpuleo 04-10-2020 02:03 PM

hope you are right about this
