You should post these two videos about COVID-19.
• Sky News: Special Report: Coronavirus - Into The Red Zone
• 60 Minutes: Documentary on Coronavirus
Post both of those...
• Or even the ones from WuHan Videos sent from WuHan resident's locked in with no FOOD, and staving to death.
• Or the interview with Bill Gates ...
A little background on this is: Bill Gates Foundation funded both the research facility level 3 lab in North Carolina where it was made, and gave a Grant to the Chinese Lab Spy, who worked on the project their at the level 3 lab, and took it back to WuHan's Level 4 Lab where it was released, which just happened to be just across from the Wet Market where they think it came from but, Shee knew all about it.
And, other's were caught trying to smuggle it out of the US.
Truth be told, why all the secretacy.
• False Flaging
Is that it, classified stuff that's it.

I have used AOL every since aol mail came out. I started during the time when we had to use xml mark up languages on the big IBM machines and the manual typewriter. Then html. Smtp, and really big reel to reel then the big floppy. The cassette tape and then the 10 inch, 8 inch ,6 inch and then the3 inch disk. Then fiber cable and fiber optical drive and the network and wireless and then came the tablet and cell phone. Roscoe Davis Sr.

OMG! Since 'Big Red' purchased AOL and started charging for it, AOL's usability has crashed and burned. It should be 'AOL MOLD' Not 'AOL Gold' I mean, like gag me, please. It's about as user friendly as a pebble in your shoe. It loads slowly, often freezing your computer and unlike any other program I have in Windows 7, it's loathe to respond when you go Control, Alt. Delete---takes forever and I run a very fast, clean computer. NO other program, browser, email service we have does that. It's about as user friendly as a two headed, spitting cobra. Lots of features that IF they do work, are somewhere between clunky and useless. If that's not bad enough, ivisually it's a gawd awful visual mishmash of garish advertising click bait that the greedy buggers at V's Big Red now CHARGE people to endure. Insult to injury. I plead insanity for not dropping AOL altogether, (or just using the awful but free basic AOL mail) but honestly, they took what was always a bit clunky alteady and turned it into total train wreck that wants to take your computer's running efficiency with it! Not a 'one off---it's like what they did with other consumer computer services they've bought. It's like a prostitute with scabies that you unwittingly allowed into your home. All from a carnivore parent company that makes many billions in profit every year.
Shame, shame, shame.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Application I've Purchased!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 29, 2022
AOL is the best app I found on this appstore. It covers everything from my email and the daily NEWS which is updated on a regular basis. I haven't yet looked at the other tools which are numerous. I now need to put this on my mobile, however, it's due for changing now, I just need to find a suitable brand although I do like Samsung. I'll put it on my new phone when I choose and receive this. Meantime, I RECOMMEND THIS APP TO EVERYONE! IF YOU ARE SWITHERING OVER THIS, THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH IT, SO JUST GO FOR IT! AFTER ALL IT'S FREE!!!!!!!
