1) Botswanna doesn’t give a damn about US midterm elections. Neither does South Africa.
2) I’m actually curious about the threshold. If this variant kills say, 40% of all infected, with say a 20% of population infection profile, of all ages, would the phrase fear porn still splash across FreeRepublic? Probably not. But I’m gonna guess a 40% kill of 5% of the population might be low enough to generate “FEAR PORN” messages. That’s 6.6 million snide Fear Porn. 13 million . . . mouths shut.
3) As you read the stories emerging, keep in mind this stuff was known about weeks ago. They tell us nothing when they learn of it. Only when information leaks do they go public.
Did you just get time-dropped from 1348 or something?
