Former United Nations ambassador Susan Rice, slated to become the Domestic Policy Council chief if Joe Biden assumes the White House next month, is warning that COVID-19 outbreak “is not the big one” and that a future pandemic could be worse.
“In the Obama administration, as I said, we had the 2009 swine flu; we had the Ebola epidemic that could have been a global pandemic; we had the Zika virus, as you'll remember, so we were very prime to this risk. We knew that we hadn't had the big one,” Rice said during a virtual event organized by Stevenson University’s speaker series.
“And by the way, I hate to be a downer here, but this is not the big one, either. This, sorry, but, you know, this would be the big one if it had the kind of mortality rates that you can get with a virulent avian flu. We have a mortality rate of, you know, 2 to 3%, roughly, now for COVID, which is — and you see how deadly that is when it's not under control. Imagine if it were that much higher,” she added....

Well yeah, the bubonic plague wiped out a third of Europe. I’m not sure why she feels the need to pop up her ugly mug to say what everyone knows already
Yeah, a Biden administration would be devastating, and even worse if Harris took over.
she’s obviously disappointed that they missed a crisis, and it went to waste.
Imagine what they could have hijacked if they had the white house 10 months ago.
Liberals always project and telegraph their intent. They got extreme mileage out of COVID-19, wait for COVID-19-V2.
“She is actually right about this,”
It’s meaningless drivel.
Susan Rice warns COVID-19 ‘is not the big one,’ future pandemic could be worse
Especially if our attitudes don’t show a marked improvement!
Is 2020 the year that the leftists fell in love with bioweapons or was that before?
Well. This has kind of always been my point. In the vast tapestry of human history, there have been thousands of virulent diseases that have plagued us. We did not respond to them by diving under the bed and cowering. Covid, by comparison to many epidemics, is a virtual stroll through the park.
They’ve sealed the deal with China to produce it?
And they screwed up both of those opportunities.
Targeting the vaccinated people is my bet.
She is actually right about this,
x2
For what is now called and accepted to be a “pandemic” this virus is very weak in comparison to other known and unknown potential viruses.
Viruses are not difficult to weaponize either.
Fantasizing about future catastrophe is a great deal of fun for power-mad sociopaths.
Just imagine all the tyrannical methods that could be employed against citizens for Rice's imagined "big one."
It must make her woozy with pleasure to think and talk about it.
To fight new COVID strain, UK PM Johnson reverses Christmas plans for millions
By Michael Holden, Kate Holton

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Boris Johnson imposed an effective lockdown on over 16 million people in England and reversed plans to ease curbs over Christmas, saying Britain was dealing with a new coronavirus strain up to 70% more transmissible than the original.
There is also, apparently, a new version/strain in South Africa!
Take off the mask, hug your family, go to church, sing loudly, because nobody gets out of this world alive.
All we can do is make the most out of every moment we have been given.
And hiding under your bed while drowning yourself in hand sanitizer is no way to live.
Let me guess, “gun violence” is the big one.
She’s probably right, but I think Trump probably headed off worse in doing the vaccine now rather than passing on it like Bush and Obama did with SARS and MERS when they emerged.
Were you a cheerleader in high school/college? (If you were, I envy you helping the girls balance during their routines with your hand on their scantily-clad buttocks. For safety only, of course.)
The reason I ask is because I admire your rabble-rousing attitude. You don’t know the meaning of giving up, and I think that’s just what we need around here these days. Thank ye.
