The science behind that is that the most virulent strains kill their host most effectively so it does not get passed on while the milder strains of the virus does not kill its host and therefore gets passed on to another host and it gets to live on and reproduce more like itself.

Hence, over time, the milder form “wins out.”

They stupidly prefer to wear a hundred masks and get quadruple boosted. It’s mind blowing, really.
This!!!!!!!!

Now the question is, how do we get all 7.9 billion people to do that?
Remember, folks, two weeks to flatten the curve!

Temporarily? We're going past 2 years of this.


If we banned driving nobody would die in car accidents either.

You can say, what if it never goes away? Well what if I go into law or medical school and fail? Does that mean I shouldn't try? All we have to do is try. Saying I don't know when it will go away, it might not go away and thus, we should just give up and let this virus spread is a terrible way to go.




It's not so much about being scared, but moreso about preventing this terrible disease from spreading and causing more deaths. Dude, we just reached a horrific milestone of 1 million deaths!! And people here say it's not deadly?? Come on!
Is the common cold going away? This virus isn't going away. So you mean LOCK IT DOWN FOREVER so you can feel safe when there is no safety. I, for one, will NEVER EVER EVER comply!

They have been counting people that died WITH COVID as people who died FROM COVID. Stats are complete BS!

1 million deaths? I think not.

Report of two more variants of Omicron in South Africa, called BA-4 and BA-5, expected to soon be greeting us in North America.
These variants are particularly good at evading our "immunity."

So don't throw away your mask stockpile quite yet.

We don't stop the spread. It's here to stay. Coronavirus has been here forever (look on your old bottle of Clorox Wipes, pre-COVID pandemonium, and it clearly states that it protects against Coronavirus).

You think you're living, but you're really not. It really is a shame.
