Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Or that we put a bunch of stupid saboteurs in charge.

 

As far as I can tell, direct evidence for either theory of how the virus came into the world is so slight as to be non-existent. Animal-human transmission and lab security failures (not just for viruses) are both real things that have happened in the past around the world. But since the former has resulted in many cases of known virus generation and spread and the latter has not, the scientific consensus was that it was by far the most likely means by which covid came to be. The challenge to that consensus WITHIN the biomedical community seems to be an expression of frustration with the Chinese government's efforts to prevent any research into covid origins it does not directly control.
PS: Because covid is asymptomatic in many, the cause of most of the woe it has spread, the idea a lab worker became unknowingly infected by accident and then spread it is certainly plausible. But plausible is one hell of a long way from proven, or even suspected.

 

Nothing about the column suggests that the solution is hatching a plot to kidnap your governor, harass your county health official or instigate a coup. All of those things are wrong.

 

You did read the part where he said the solution meaning the solution to a pandemic, right? He wasn’t talking any the column he was talking about people’s idiotic response to needing to stop the virus.

 

What's he trying to sell again?

 

I did, yes. I'm simply pointing out the column does not condone any of those things.

 

So because the column doesn’t condone those things, it can’t be brought up to point out that regardless of where the virus came from, Americans showed their asses in their response?

 

Of course it can be brought up.

 

Over 16,000 Idaho students contracted COVID-19, but that’s not what schools reported

 

So after a week in which daily vaccinations in Massachusetts were in the low to high 30K range, today there were 97,000, with at least 20,000 more first shots than in the last week. And I think I know why. Temperatures in Greater Boston were over 90 today with high humidity. People remembered that Walgreen's and CVS have excellent air conditioning.

 

As of Monday, I will be fully vaccinated and can go maskless at work.

Don't you think I won't be spiking that football.

 

For those of you who don't frequent the golf thread, Jon Rahm just got kicked out of the Memorial (Jack Nicklaus' tournament) with a six-shot lead after three rounds because of a COVID positive.
