Exponents are so interesting....even more interesting when they match the data....
You first.
CCP-19 in the same family as the common cold. Is it just a cold, then?
A Tabby, a Maine Coon cat and a Lion are all cats. Which one would you like the least chasing you?
Look at the numbers, man, and stop playing games with semantics.
If it runs amok, the HCS and economy die just as surely as an indefinite hard cold stop. Neither of those is going to happen, but you FluBros are proposing that we let millions die so you can continue counting your nickels.
In that way you are pushing an apocalypse just as much as any of the sky-is-falling crowd. You are just more proactive about it. Vested interest in killing all the old and sick and many young and healthy and a disproportionate chunk of our HJCS workers at all levels, I guess. What do you think all those deaths would do to the economy? What do you think crashing the HCS for years or decades would do? Or maybe you are long in funeral home stocks and this isn’t killing enough people for your satisfaction.
