COVID-19: OhMyCronus!

I'm sure Auria and Sounders could come up with a theory or two!

 

Appalachia rules or Arkansas free-for-all style?

 

"Hi. I killed millions of you muthafckas"

 

Oh crap.
Marburg virus pops up in Tanzania, killing at least 5 people.
The authorities tell everything is under control and the spreading is contained.
A few weeks ago it killed 11 people in Guinea on the other side of the continent.

 

While dangerous if you get it, ebola-type diseases are not likely to become pandemics because they kill too quickly. It's the ones that are contagious before symptoms show and also keep people alive long enough to regularly infect others that are more likely to become pandemics.

 

You're right about that, but also afaik when it struck it was always in rural environments. What happens if it pops up in the crowded African big cities?

 

Except for Cordyceps-13.

 

It will kill a lot who get infected but it will kill them too quickly to become a pandemic.

It's also not airborne, so not as concerning as Covid in that regard.

I have my students "The Perfect Plague" by Jared Diamond and Nathan Wolfe and apply it to the Covid pandemic. You'll note it was all very predictable, but humans aren't the best at avoiding disaster even when we are warned about it years earlier (think climate change).

But the economy is doing a bit better.

The state proclaimed China’s reopening in December “a miracle in human history”. Since then, more than a million people may have died of covid-19 https://t.co/vJk9ctAXMT

Confucius say,a million die so big deal!You know how many people we got here?

 

what's one million when there are 1.5 billion...

 

Six one hundreds of a percent

 

Which is what you'd expect from a population already fairly immune to the disease. So either China is lying now or it lied before.

 

Estimates that around 17% of covid funds in the USA were stolen.

Wondering how much was stolen by elected Republicans.

 

Wow
You are a very suspicious, mistrusting, biased person, arenot you
I like it

 

Ask the Kushners how much they purloined.

 

That's in addition to their slumlording.

 

They’re not your State’s Covid supplies, they’re ours. (To sell)

 

And Republican supporters
