China Covid (another dumb vanity)
12/14/22 | EBH

Posted on 12/14/2022 7:50:42 PM PST by EBH

Yes, just another dumb covid vanity post.

But, before you dismiss it out of hand, a question.

China has been on a zero covid policy since December of 2019. China maintains a very large population that for all intents has not been exposed to the original virus.

We are fairly sure current variants outside of China are diminishing in strength and severity. But, if the virus in China has never had the chance to mutate to a less severe form, what is the risk to the rest of the world as the virus is basically released for the second time?

What are the chances the covid sacculating in China now is so far behind the rest of the world, China itself is the risk?

With what we know does not work, what would you do? What should the individual do? And should we close contact with China again? Are we about to see a repeat of December 2019.

Please pass the toilet paper.

a.) circulating in China

b.) is China’s own population a ticking time bomb?

China has been rolling out a traditional vaccine so their variant landscape may be different in the end. Personally, I doubt they’ve kept Covid as squashed as they want the world to believe nor have they blocked variants from the outside totally.

It is my understanding though, that vaccine is not very effective? No doubt variants have infiltrated the population to an extent, but we would have no idea?

The original strain would have very little effect here, after all this time.

Rambo showed his sacculated nature when he jumped from the cliff to the forest below.

Good?

I question that thinking.

So far, we know immunity seems to last only 3 months or so.

The vaccines create more mutations.

My garbage can blew over in the wind and became sacculated?

I think yours is probably correct, where mine is more borderline profane.

I’d say March 11th. That’s the night the NBA cancelled the Utah game in Oklahoma City and the NCAA cancelled the March Madness tournament.

If they are dealing with the original varient and most of the rest of us have moved on past that and are immune, then it should not be an issue.

I honestly don’t believe that.

While antibody presence in a person may only be for a few months, that doesn’t mean the person is not immune. There is the long term T Cell immunity that is present and can activate antibodies on a monent’s notice.

When Covid first hit and the Diamond Princess cruise ship was infected, not everyone got sick. It was discovered then that there were many people who had gottne SARS CV1 back in the early 2000’s and were still immune due to that long temr immunity.

But that didn’t fit the panic porn, lockdown, push the jab agenda so it dropped down memory hole.

There was no TP shortage…..there was TP hoarding.

The entire thing was bizarre.

"China maintains a very large population that for all intents has not been exposed to the original virus."

What does that mean? We have a 2019 thread from December into February tracking this menace. I was active in it.

It was weird. I bought 48 rolls in january of 2020 because I buy things in bulk.

It was cheap and plentiful. Just lucky I guess. Provided some packs to co-workers in April.

Cost them a lunch. :^)

Remember, China sent their Covid infected people to California and New York and more than likely to Europe. That was their way of containing Covid and it sounds like it worked for them.
