Pandemic Update for 2021-08-31: C.1.2 — 2 Comments

  1. Good news, while at the same time, depressing news. šŸ™ I’m a Pollyanna. Not to encourage bad karma, but I can count on one hand the number of times I’m had the flu; colds only on a blue moon; and I successfully fight off bacteria always. I believe I have an immune system as strong as the Rock of Gibraltar. I just hurt for those families whose members are anti-vax. Sad times. Almost reminds me of medieval blood libel. I am, however, among those who see nefarious intent behind CDC work on viruses. I’ve read Mao Tse Tung. Khrushchev was pretty close to the mark when he said, ā€œWe will bury you!ā€ What!? Me!? Paranoid!? Could you please change the channel to ā€œAmerica’s Got Talentā€! 🤪

    • Just listening to a podcast with Zeynep Tufecki [ https://is.gd/hPoWwY ] and she points out a subtlety: anyone who wants to develop a bioweapon is barking up the wrong (family) tree if they start with a coronavirus. They just are not that dangerous.
