        it looks like you favor boolean searches over natural searches...
        natural -- just type in words
        boolean -- use boolean operators to force search engine to directly query backend database...

            I try to avoid Google search as much as possible. They politicize their results far too often. My default search engine is Yahoo and my backup is DuckDuckGo.

                You can use any browser to get the results you want simply by wording the query properly.

                  BREAKING: New Evidence from Chinese Scientists Suggests Coronavirus Didn't Originate in Food Market (VIDEO)

                  The mainstream media is dishing out straight-up garbage to us and telling us to like it.
                  All along, we've been getting this storyline that the coronavirus originated in a food market in Wuhan, China. But now we're learning that this may not be the truth.

                  Sure, there have been rumors of this starting in a lab, but now there is actually some evidence that it started in a lab and that we're being lied to.
                  The only media outlet willing to report this though is Tucker Carlson on Fox News, with the exception of a news outlet in Australia.
                  News.com.au reported,
                  Scientists from South China University of Technology in Guangzhou wrote and published a paper speculating that a centre for disease control near a Wuhan seafood market may be ground zero for the virus.




                  The research facility was also adjacent to the Union Hospital where the first group of doctors were infected.

                  YouTube


                  Dr. Ai Fen who has been the head of emergency at Wuhan Central Hospital went public with this information and even said that the authorities tried stopping her and her colleagues from going public with the truth...now she's missing. Coincidence?

                    BOMBSHELL: Army Nation Guard Says COVID-19 Coverage Overblown (VIDEO)

                    The question on everyone's mind is "Is the coronavirus as much of a big deal as the media is leading us to believe or it this just an overhyped flu virus?"
                    It's a very valid question given a lot of the odd things we've been seeing.

                    Project Veritas' James O'Keefe took it upon himself to try and find out by going and getting tested himself in New Rochelle, NY and asked some of the Army National Guards what they're seeing.
                    Here is how his interactions went:

                      Expert COVID Prediction of 50K Hospitalizations in NY by April 1 Turned Out To Be 400% Too High

                      As coronavirus models go, the one put forth by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, or IHME, has been one of the more optimistic ones.
                      According to The Washington Postestimate of 100,000 to 240,000 deaths.

                      Even though it may be conservative, however, the IHME model might not have been conservative enough.
                      Take New York, the epicenter of the disease. According to the IHME model, the state would have needed 50,962 hospital beds on April 1, on the way to peak usage April 9. On that day, it would need 76,130 hospital beds.
                      Johns Hopkins University
                      This is the @IMHE_UW model for #Covid_19, the new US standard. It was put out SIX days ago (post lockdown). It projects New York State will have 50,000 hospitalizations TODAY. Instead NYS has 12,000. Wrong by 4x in under a week. What on earth are we doing? https://t.co/zdRwaS4UJr pic.twitter.com/bRroolmKgwApril 1, 2020
                      The actual number as of April 1 was 12,226, according to WROC-TVICU bedsImperial College

                          You obviously did not read the post, as usual. It already is wrong but in the best way. The model predicted 4 to 5 times the deaths in You Dork, I mean New York as the actual numbers as of April 1, 2020. The only ones who are going to be screwed are you liberal TDS suffering Democrats. Oh wait a minute, you already are.

                            Just like the Trump Model of the Hurricane
                            Remember Alabama
                            Or maybe you can use the Trump Model in Puerto Rico
                            You know the one's with over 3 thousand death's due to the Hurricane.
                            Everyone wishes for a lower number but only time will tell.
                            It's not even close to being over. New York is only first Buddy

                              The Premier ( = US Governor) of Nova Scotia was peeved at resident ignoring the stay at home order. He told residents in a public broadcast "to stay the blazes home!"

                                I sense an air of caution in your text. Hence you feel there my be repercussions from locals if you speak to frank in an open forum.

                                We could use a few more people like Julian Assange, Edward Snowden.

                                Fear is mostly a lack of knowledge. It is a self choice to worry or not to worry. If you have prior knowledge it can lessen the fear as it allows a person to prepare.

                                Speak out in the open... Share those troubling URL's so that others can make informed choices an prepare for themselves.

                                Trust me. A snake in the grass is fearful of making the herd stampede.
