New virus origin possibility

DISAGREEMENTS:
1. Origin
2. Severity
3. Vaccines use or not
4. Vaccines- effectiveness
5. Methods to reduce spread
6. Ability to reduce spread
7 Mask effectiveness
8. Mask mandates
9. Freedom vs responsibility
10. Economic impacts
11. If it caused supply chain issues
12. Kids in or out of school
13. Kids mask or not
14. Which political party is most medically qualified since we all know viruses only exist to win elections

Now rocket scientists: Lets spend the next 3 weeks arguing about the second half. The Agreements. We should argue with limitless energy about what we ought to agree on. Ready.....you have 21 days starting now.......and GO!

I mean let’s not waste any friggin time actually fixing this crap as a unified effort, and then argue in the “ after-action report”. Heck no. Let’s sit around doing nothing while we argue on to ad nauseam and to infinity and beyond!

Kids here in school don't have to wear mask but the county is in the RED. We won't get rid of this virus if everyone keeps doing the wrong things.

Well said.

KY 1st peak wave of Covid Apr 21 -just over 4000 cases a day. But we learned and masked and distanced, and got on vaccines

May-August 21: We argued about vaccines and masks, and the numbers started creeping.

2nd Wave Oct 21 ran up to just over 5,000 cases a day. Different strain

So we masked and distanced, and argued some more about vaccines.

Now we are in the 3rd Wave, and just climbed over 6,000 cases a day. And yep, it is another different strain.

In April 2021 we found a hole in our boat and slowed the water coming in, and having done so we now have spent the last 9-10 months finding new ways to drill new holes in the bottom. All while about 25-30% of our boat crew sat on their butts and complained about their feet getting wet and arguing about how the water in the boat actually got there.....while staring at the holes in the bottom.

i'm convinced a majority of the country is in a stupor from spending all their time punching on a phone.

I think World Wrestlting ought sponsor a news media host cage match. :)

whatever the source, i can't understand is how the GOF virus spread around the world so quickly if it has to be spread from close contact?
how did it get to remote african countries or the amazon jungle?
still too many fishy things for me to believe anything our proven corrupt government says.
something ain't right when pfizer can run adds continuously for us to get something from them the government pays for.

People always will congregate together making the spread of the virus easy. Africa is not just a bunch of small villages miles apart. The vast majority of people in Africa live in big cities. Have you ever been there? And with air travel, the virus can jump from one country to another is a matter of hours.

Do you think that China is behind all the mutations that are occurring with Covid 19? And if so how are they doing that? Nature is the force behind all the new mutations just as nature formed the original SARS CoV-2. Just as nature created the MERS and the other virus diseases.

And even if China made the virus in a lab (Which they didn't) what do you propose we do about that?
