Coronavirus - are we all doomed?

[isladogs]

With the exception of flu, none of the main causes of death in 2017 were from infectious diseases.

Here is something I have been looking at for a while.
United States Nationally, the numbers below from 2017 are staggering, does anyone notice?

Answer: NO, It's not politically expedient.

You put your spin on anything and try to distract from the reality that your leaders screwed it up badly.
It isn't politically expedient for you to acknowledge that is it.

Trump played it down right from the beginning and has been moronic about it all along.
It was of course exacerbated by the average US citizen insisting on maintaining their freedom.

The other causes of death are much bigger than Covid in most other countries too but the US has done poorly compared to most other countries at controlling the pandemic.

You're just looking at the death numbers.
Try to compare economical damage in each case.

1. Which one of the cases you mentioned had any effect on the economy?
2. Which one of those made people to be this scared?
3. Which one of them made the shelves in the shops empty?

Seasonal Flu deaths are not counted in adults. The number is estimated based on excess deaths in the year and certain factors. Thats one of the reasons you see a large spread in the numbers. Flu deaths in kids are counted and an interesting fact is that @ 80% of those deaths are unvaccinated.

The United States has a concept known as "states rights". Some governors are bound to get it wrong. Even though I am not a huge fan of our Governor Gavin Newsom, in this case i'm pretty happy.

In American political discourse, states' rights are political powers held for the state governments rather than the federal government according to the United States Constitution, reflecting especially the enumerated powers of Congress and the Tenth Amendment.

How pissed will you be when it turns out COVID-19 was bio engineered in a Wuhan lab? All the deaths around the world were all for not.

I know the Chinese science says it's not bio engineered, but it sure feels like "revenge porn".

"revenge porn".

i sure hope my girl never gets involved in that.

Just regular porn, AmIRight Señor Adam?

if I showed you a photo, you'd be drooling. I feel pretty lucky. she's not even comparable to anyone here.

You even got the tilde on senor, nice.

From the very first day that covid-19 alarm went off and a Europe showed numerous infections and deaths, I was saying it's a bio engineered thing. A bio weapon.
For me the mystery is : was it on purpose or just a mistake.

Plus, I don't give the possibility to only China. I think other countries with bio technology may be responsible.

The evidence presented by those who have done the viral equivalent of genome sequencing studies is that the COVID-19 virus is natural, not bio-engineered. That does NOT stop anyone from using a natural virus as a weapon. It still could have escaped from a lab where someone was trying to culture it and succeeded too well.

Or they intentionally infected people with a "natural" virus, and sent them on a jihad so to speak. The aim would be a reset of the world economy at any cost.

How can you relate it to Islam?
Which Moslem country has the technology to cultivate a virus? And above that something this deadly?

I can't, that is why I said jihad so to speak.

used to highlight the fact that one is describing something in an unusual or metaphorical way.

Yes I know that. I simply don't think it was appropriate to use jihad.
You could have chosen a dozen other words.
Jihad is a special word, with a special meaning, referring to a specific group. Not something to be used as **So to speak**

 

[AccessBlaster]

I think jihad is an appropriate use of a metaphor, do we really want to censure peoples thought processes?

Some of you actually believe this was a lab engineered virus that got loose? I don't. Think about it. Not only would you be buying into the idea that a lab would engineer something that only has a 1 or 2 % fatality rate, but something that will likely be beaten with a vaccine. Then there's the escape and/or unleashing on your own population. I for one doubt that lab protocols are that lax in China. My prediction is that we're going to learn this originated from some animal as soon as they've finished mapping the genome of the virus (assuming it has one). Bats are a likely source because of the degree of similarity between bat and human genome - at least for the portion that applies here. If you think that's a stretch, consider that the human genome has a lot in common with lots of species. You have more in common with a tree than you likely know.

Bats are a free source of protein for disadvantaged people. They go into bat caves to get out of storms. They collect guano for fertilizer. They get bitten by bats. Their animals are bitten by bats, get infected, then they eat the animals. And so on. Don't buy into the "lab engineered virus" crap for corona virus.

reset of the world economy at any cost.

i don't think you guys realize that the world debt is already going to be reset anyway.

Yes, and who will benefit? If any.
