Keep the pantry stocked and the armory at ready. They are not through trying to destroy us yet.

My one hope is that PDJT has learned something from this first hoax

“The Answer is More Socialism. (always)“

You forgot the taxes, they always want more taxes to fund “the solution” or to find “the answers” because - reasons.

Local supermarket chain was phasing out, banning, single use plastic bags in favor of reusable bags.
Now they use only single use bags, and reusable bags have been banned.
The mindset is consistent - they love to ban things and activities.

Oh, so the COVID-19 virus - which was going to wipe out humanity, cause the seas to rise, even kill all the wildflowers - is now just a ‘plain old coronavirus’??? When this is over by whatever means, there won’t be enough rope and lampposts...........

I wonder if this could explain the difference between the West-Coast (directly from China) and East-Coast (from Iran and Europe) strains

( explaining the HIV inserts made into this bioengineered pathogen)

And yet there are those on this site that claim that is a total lie.

Watched a news piece on the origins within China on this thing, and the experts that reported had on explained that it was virtually impossible for the AIDs part of that virus to enjoin with that Coro virus in nature.

BTW, that lab is funded and part of the Chinese military.

Some gal who, according to various online bios, has been working on an HIV vaccine for 30 years with little to show for her efforts, posts some scary assertions on her facebook page.


Sounds legit... /s /s /s

Well, certainly there are more than 2 strains, because viruses mutate easily and naturally.

Most of those mutations will just die out though, since they can’t compete more effectively than the original strain. The article says this one particular mutation is actually out-competing the parent strain, which means it will probably stick around.

there are hundreds of cold viruses of varying degrees, and hundreds of flu virus strains of various strengths,

and we have not shut the planet down for them

these same scientist acknowledge they don’t even know how nmany other diseases and strains are out there that we do not know, yet.

and we haven’t shut the planet down for that either.

we do not even know all the bacteria that live in the human mouth, they estimate we know 20% or less of what’s in our mouths

and we have not stopped kissing each other or shut the planet down for that.

it’s ridiculous that this one incredibly overhyped and hystericalized thing is the thing we shut the planet down for.

Be afraid, be afraid!!!! /.sarc

Is the contagiousness of a virus it’s worse aspect?

No. What is more important is only whether or not the virus is less easily taken care of by the combination of the human immune system and human medicines, without becoming fatal.

The very best thing a virus can do to survive is to not make it’s host too ill, so its host won’t kill it or it won’t die in a dead host.

The “Spanish Flu” is known today as Influenza A among the seasonal flu bugs. It killed 675,000 Americans between 1918 and 1919. It survives today, and it is no longer as deadly to humans as it once was.

and has yet to be peer-reviewed,

So will Dr. Fauci smack this down as he did HCQ? He must if he is to be consistent.
