This seems to be a direct response to the us covid website turning into a wuhan lab leak conspiracy page.

Its not surprising that covid was first detected in a country that actually tested and was looking for SARS, and had previous outbreaks due to wildlife in the region carrying the virus. The US certainly wasn’t looking.

Covid was in the US earlier than officially recognized, but no one has bothered to try and determine how much earlier.

If a virus was going around killing people in retirement homes, and it wasn’t the flu, they would just shrug and go “old people just do that”. Its what they did in the later months of 2019, and its what they’ve been doing “after covid” too.

I guess the question is how long could covid be in a country before hospitals started getting flooded?

I haven’t been sick in over two years, and I have a public facing job where people will lean over and breathe directly on me.

They are fixing the problem of bad policy by getting rid of policies

4chan changed its name to x the everything app.

Like most people of his generation, he learned everything he knows about autism by watching Rain Man.

A deadly E. coli outbreak hit 15 states, but the FDA chose not to publicize it

We are continuing down the eugenics “let disease cull the weak” path. They will probably unrecommend vaccines next, so insurance will stop covering them, and people will be priced out of vaccine access like they’ve done with uninsured people and covid vaccines. Dr. Brianworm will say they cause autism, and disease makes you strong, and that will be that.

How long are rich people gonna let trump fuck with their money? They have to be in on the grift, right?

Maybe this might work?

My understanding is that the rate of mutation per infection for covid is not unusual, but the amount of people (and animals) it can infect, and how quickly it can infect them,is unusual, which is why we have been seeing covid mutate so rapidly.

When the virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic first emerged, many scientists thought it would evolve slowly, like other coronaviruses.

But that was one of the first big surprises from the virus dubbed SARS-CoV-2. It evolved like crazy.

“SARS-CoV-2 so far has probably been even faster than influenza virus, which is really remarkable,” says Jesse Bloom, who studies viral evolution at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seattle. “I thought it would undergo some evolution, but the speed at which it’s undergone that evolution and the ability it’s shown to undergo these big evolutionary jumps is really remarkable.”

In fact, SARS-CoV-2 has been evolving the ability to evade the immune system about twice as fast as the fastest-evolving flu virus, punctuated by several large evolutionary jumps, scientists say. Most notoriously, SARS-CoV-2 jumped a huge evolutionary hurdle to spawn the omicron variant, which spread around the world with shocking speed.

A lot of the biggest mutations, like omicron, are believed to have come about as a result of long term infections in people with suppressed immune systems.

So we slapped them with ridiculous sanctions tariffs and are dropping hints that we are preparing for war, all while asking them to call? Trump acted in a similar way in his first term, and Biden didn’t undo anything he did AFAIK, on top of slapping their cars with a 100% tariff. And we’re starting off with Trump doing schoolyard bully negotiating tactics again…

I think China is sick of our bullshit.

In Australia last year covid killed 4x as many people as the flu. It’s probably similar in other countries but most, like the US, stopped bothering with testing.

In terms of risk, it’s now similar to the flu on an individual level, but way way more contagious. On average most people get a flu every 3-5 years, or something like that. While you can get covid 1-3 times a year, depending on how mutations play out.

And now it’s being treated like it’s a common cold.

There’s a testing site in my city, but some sites are being shut down by DOGE.

Here’s a chart of strep from Canada. It rose rapidly after pandemic restrictions and mask mandates were lifted and hasn’t slowed down yet.

They initially blamed kids “catching up” on infections they avoided during pandemic restrictions, but 2024 was just as bad or worse, and its a worldwide trend. The next theory is that a more dangerous mutation showed up right before the pandemic and has caused problems ever since. No one wants to admit that covid didn’t turn into a harmless cold.

Yeah, It’s all contributing to deteriorating conditions. Just about everything got worse.

Sick leave has also skyrocketed amongst workers.

Not only is covid still around and infecting people 1-3 times a year on top of everything else, but it’s also making us more prone to other diseases, while still disabiling and killing people.

Is COVID quietly sabotaging our immune systems?

It’s so absurd that no one believes it’s going to last.
