No dingdong we’re not livestreaming a lab leak, we’re discussing whether the lab leak origin for the Coronavirus pandemic is plausible or a complete conspiracy theory. @SifuJason is going to mansplain, docsplain, and dunksplain this all at once.
Hop onto the Twitch stream and ask questions you have.
“The team analyzed frozen waster water samples from nine different dates between January 2018 and December 2019. All the samples came back negative for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 genetic material, except for low levels that were found in the March 12, 2019 sample.”
If ever there was a correlation vs. causation scenario, the Outbreak@Wuhan situation is a doozy of one. Some researchers got sick, it happened to be at a lab, and nearwhile a big virus dropped. Mind you, clusters of people get each other sick at work all the time, every day, especially medical professionals (hence the PPE).
Sadly, here in the Post-Reality Era of cyberspace-driven illusions, COVID’s already been attributed to Bill Gates, Soros, Democrats, Antifa, etc, so good luck trying to convince any critical mass of the facts of the case, regardless of cred. Most epidemiologists will agree there was nothing surprising about COVID’s arrival…it was predicted for years (we even had a plan in place for it…oops with Bannon’s “Deconstruction of the Administrative State”).
COVID has proven modern American society rejects scientific consensus unless it is as convenient for them as McDonald’s.
I deal will be done behind closed doors with the largest nations.
Too many in the west will demand war and our politicians cannot allow that so it is better to do a deal with the chines for a fuck tonne of money and let them get away with it.
That is also allot more consistent with how our politicians deal with things.
Boris Johnson = Pussy
Joe Biden = Pussy
EU = Pussies
Russia aint gonna go it alone and more than likely already done their deal with China.
Right up till they all find out the new I phone XXX is due for release and a war with China will affect supply
Here’s what will happen
In 3 years every one will want to forget about covid and move on
A few zealots on both extremes of the political divide will harp on about it for a while, but it will all be back to normal
In the meantime, China will “leak” “evidence” that covid was created in a lab in some other nation and muddy the waters sufficiently to make further debate about it moot
Are you serious? Maybe you lived the zoom meeting stimmy rich corona life, but I went through hell. A lot of people went through a lot of different hells. I don’t want the new fucking chinese phone. I want new night vision.
If the Spanish Flu Epidemic is anything to go by, that is exactly what will happen
People just put it behind them and moved on with their lives
Remarried, had more kids, mourned their dead
It’s human nature
There is little to be gained by relitigating, and reliving that kind of trauma as a society, and those that can’t move on and let go will find themselves marginalised and shunned, perhaps even institutionalised
