Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

So instead of a 9/11 type event everyday, we have one every two. Hmmm. Maybe now half the country will take it seriously.

 

It's amazing to see that from a month ago cases are down like 400,000 per day but deaths are only down like 550 per day

 

goin' great!

 

America is over covid. It doesn't matter what the numbers say. People are routinely getting sick right now and not taking tests. Most of them have nothing more than a mild illness at this point. But there will continue to be people who catch it and die, mostly the unvaccinated. And if another mutation comes along that proves to be deadlier, we are well and truly f*****. Because it will devastate the medical industry. And America is not going back to wearing masks and social distancing.

 

Over the weekend, an international team of scientists published two extensive papers online, offering the strongest evidence to date that the COVID-19 pandemic originated in animals at a market in Wuhan, China. Specifically, they conclude that the coronavirus most likely jumped from a caged wild animal into people at the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, where a huge COVID-19 outbreak began in December 2019.

They provide photographic evidence of wild animals, which can be infected with and shed SARS-CoV-2, sitting in the market in late 2019 — such as raccoon dogs and a red fox. What's more, the caged animals are shown in or near a stall where scientists found SARS-CoV-2 virus on a number of surfaces, including on cages, carts and machines that process animals after they are slaughtered at the market.

This is from an NPR story, but the site won't let me link it. I've tried a dozen times.

 

The 7-day average is down more than 1,000 from the beginning of February.

But, the sad truth is, as America is currently constituted, the virus could kill 2,000 unvaccinated people a day and not run out of victims for more than a decade.

 

I assume this is the story NPR started from:

New Research Points to Wuhan Market as Pandemic Origin

 

So you’re saying COVID is indeed over for 1700+ people per day?

 

Deaths continue to be a lagging indicator.

 

I see no reason not to mask in winter when this is the healthiest I've ever been, after years of having my ass totally kicked by child-carried colds and the like.

 

That's like the fifteenth time that story has been posted since last weekend.

 

Then don't read it.
