RE: I contracted it from a defective batch of vaccine in 1970. I was hospitalized for 23 days. It is as bad as the stories tell.
Bless you and thank God for your survival.
What medicine did they give you for you to recover?
Also, does the body now have immunity from it once it has contracted it?
I’d prefer to live in Relatively Unaffected.
My understanding is the terrible hygiene of the farms in China - and the proximity of pigs and ducks in particular. Something about the back and forth between different animals increases the mutation rate of say the influenza virus and then every once in a while the mutation is one that makes it particularly dangerous to humans. I suspect the rather amazing range of other life forms that humans will eat in China and the open air markets in which this stuff is sold may help. All in all, there would seem to be a lot of simple things that could be done to stop China from being the viral epicenter.
Eating weird animals. The Jewish guidelines for eating only clean animals seem to go beyond religion.
Eating bats? No wonder people get sick.
Coming soon to a sidewalk in LA or San Fransicko.
” solid link between GSM(Grand Solar Minimum)s and major plagues that originate in China.”
It had nothing to do with the magnetosphere. It was the weather. The Grand Solar Minimum cause long cold winters and years with no summers.
Flu and Virus happen mostly during the cold seasons.
I think this long cold weather seasons allow the virus like the Black Death to travel great distances. The virus/plagues would follow the trade routes when trade open up between Europe and China.
I think it is time to nuke china to save the world.
The Black Death, not a virus, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis.
That right the one carry by fleas.
Gossip and rumors about the Coronavirus are unsurprisingly spreading faster than the virus imo.
Consider that there was no electronic communication in the time of the Black Death (1347 to 1351). So speedy global warnings to lockdown and quarantine were unheard of and lots of people died as a consequence.
Insights welcome.
Proximity of a BSL-4 lab is the modern origin
I’ve eaten ground hog
Very nice flesh...like lean roast beef
A marmot ate my back pack in Glacier way up high near the top at the pass 10 miles west of Cut bank entry ...name escapes me...1976 or 77
That old entry and ranger station is closed now last i was there in 2017
Near where the grizz ate the girl hikers ...I was there at that time and talked to old ranger going in to kill it
One asked remember that there was no idea of germ theory back in the 13 and 1400s
People just thought it was God’s will
Of course now we understand what bacteria and viruses are ,how they’re spread, and how they affect people
Ditto on that.
Was China the source of 1918 Influenza?

People thought it came from bad smells, so they would arm themselves with flowers.
We of European descent should demand reparations.
I want reparations for my British ancestors that suffered and died.
