It's (the Wuhan Flu) not going away......ever.

[bellisarius]

Yes folks, the Wuhan Flu is here to stay.

The variants are spreading like wildfire, the Brazil variant being the one of most concern. As a comment on that I'm wondering if the Brazilian variety spread from Brazil or is a natural consequence of the virus mutating along natural selection lines. Meaning that the variant didn't spread from Brazil but is spontaneously mutating as viruses are want to do.

Another study has shown that these mutations are occurring among the young, those that heretofore have been relatively unaffected by the virus. Further evidence of this is in the fact that the new variants are hitting the younger population the hardest. That appears to follow the pattern that the "Spanish Flu" of 1918 followed. Further, it makes perfect sense that the mutations would be occurring in those with the most robust immune systems. Only the mutations would manage to survive and spread. What better media to promote 'success?'

I stated when this first started that it wasn't going to go away. While everyone is focused on the disease it is the various responses to the disease that should be of greater concern.

It really does seem that way.

On April 7th, 32 people in Canada died from Covid.

100 die every day in Canada from tobacco.

It's just another thing at this point; time for people to chill the fuck out.

Here's another vote for it's time to move on...

There are days when America has as many death as 9/11 and we still feel that shit on the daily.

Considering Ishtard and AJ both got COVIID, you would think they would be more sympathetic instead of just pathetic.

Another lesson Americans can learn from the Chinese Flu is the importance of general health. Americans are a miserable, obese, un-fit people. Fat fucks. Diabetes. Never exercise. Americans are vulnerable. The death rate to the Chinese Flu is directly tied to their lack of fitness and their fucked up lifestyle.

It's called natural selection where only the strong survive.

I note that some nations are going into lockdown for the fourth (or fifth?) time even while the vaccines are being jabbed into arms as fast as they can be stuck.

Meanwhile, Fla and Tx are improving their numbers without masking and the overall case rate in the US is going down.

It'll be gone by Easter of last year.

That is actually a good point. The more heath issues you have- smoking, obesity, diabetes, inactive lifestyle- the more severe the illness seems to be. How are the Russians? You guys drink a lot of vodka, does the alcohol help your immune systems by killing the virus? (just joking, but all seriousness aside, it would be interesting to know how much better off the Russian population is vs that of the United States.)

They lie, so we'll never know. Just like China.

Are you sure that strength is the basis for survival under natural selection? If that were the case, shouldn't we all be ants?

We going through another wave because we don’t have the vaccines. Only 18% of Canada’s population has received jab 1.

I drank copious amounts of vodka for a period of 7 years, I never had a cold, flu or any other "normal" ailment. However, I felt like I was in the throws of death when I wasn't drinking, so, trade-offs I guess.

Sounds like we had very similar experiences. Glad we both made it to the other side.

Everything ends, including covid.

It turns out that the vaccine isn't as effective against the new strains that are emerging which means, "back to the drawing board."

The Wuhan Flu isn't going away. It's a corona virus, same family as the common cold. How long has the common cold been around?

This is total war. The virus plays the offense and our bodies play defense. We come up with blocking plays (immunity) and the virus comes up with a new offense (mutates).

Meanwhile, bellisarius and Champakian post back to back yet again, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Then way not just call it the Covid?

You know why he's not calling it by it's proper name instead of the xenophobic/racist reactionary bullshit that the fallout of which he as a privileged white man will never ever get bitten by.

and when this thread eventually gets punted to the Politics Board because it will likely get political as they all have, he'll gnash his dentures in frustration and find a new reason to make a new thread over Covid-19 to keep putting "Wuhan Flu" in bright lights in the title because he prefers the wider exposure of his xenophobic/racist bullshit here in the GB as opposed to there. Ish takes a particularly gleeful bent of defiance in his right to call it that so he can keep giving a gnarly entitled middle finger to all forms of "wokeness."

This is how whiteness and "otherism" works. Since you can't shoot the virus with guns, you turn to the next most available retaliation. Rhetoric.

Truth.

Good question...

I had the virus, almost a year ago, I’ve had the vaccine, Pfizer, both parts 1 & 2. Yet I still have to wear a fucking mask?!? WTF?
