The Virus Outbreak Thread

@lonewolf
A new classified report by the U.S. Energy Department has concluded with “low confidence” that it is plausible the COVID-19 pandemic originated from a laboratory leak is what most of those stories are saying.

The headlines saying it is “likely” seem very suspect. That’s not what “plausible” and “low confidence” means.

Except now the CCP is warning Elon to not share the report of that in what seems to be some kind of a threat.

In other news, grass is green. The CCP’s favorite hobby is screaming “SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP” at anyone who says anything that might make them look bad.

The insane conspiracy nuts are still spouting out shit even after all this time:

@CaptainXtra
Someone really needs to check to see if she’s alright, because she is spouting nonsense.

@CaptainXtra
She must think Breaking Bad was made during Covid.

Covid is on its way back into the news cycle with the Eris variant. There’s talks of mask mandates and possible lockdowns.

Heck, some schools and businesses have already re-imposed them.

@Goku Black
Where in the world is this? America somewhere? Hopefully not here in Australia… I wonder if the next variant will be Aries…

@Wiimeiser
I’ve seen New York, Los Angeles, and even Atlanta mentioned in the articles I’ve skimmed.

The lockdown didn’t do jack shit to stop the spread. All it did was trash the economy.

That’s because there wasn’t a real lockdown and too many people didn’t wear a damn mask.

The spread got slowed from many complying, but wasn’t stopped because too few complied.

@lonewolf
That’s why it didn’t work in the first place. If people actually complied, than the virus would have stop being a thing by now.

Not really looking forward to people being giant babies again over wearing masks

Yeah, when one’s resistance to action hinders that action’s efficacy, their objection to the action becomes useless. But I suppose that’s the American way: few freedoms more important than getting to fuck themselves over, like with hookworm.

@Vivace
Next thing, polio and ebola return.
🤦

No, they didn’t, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they did, considering how stubborn we are.

When will the next pandemic be?

@ЅℰℒᎯℙℋℐℰℒ
One of the fun viruses, like the T-virus.

There’s some rumblings about the latest variant of Covid spreading across Canada. We probably won’t see a full blown pandemic this time, but an epidemic is still possible.

@Dustcan
Same.
Keyword: Probably.

The person is fine today but it’s something we might need to be a wee concerned about…

@CaptainXtra
Man the marketing for Season 2 of The Last Of Us has been really weird

FR though glad the guy is ok

@CaptainXtra
India is prime breeding ground for all sorts of diseases. Huge impoverished growing population and crowded unsanitary condition.

So i guess Elon is an anti-covidvax now? Or i just missed something? (i did not used twitter for a while)

@Background Pony #9606
He’s a Trump/Russia bootlicker, so I wouldn’t be surprised.
