Not as deadly (so far) as the flu but on the order of ten times more contagious.

I read it mutated several times but it doesn't change much at all.


“It probably wouldn’t change anything at all because by the time we can confirm what any particular mutation is doing, the pandemic will likely be over.”

Paris hasn't been romantic for years.

The world will no longer be able to turn a blind eye to China. The spotlight is on them, and seven billion people have finally seen what they are.

And yet the death from CoronaVirus is painful. I'm sorry I rather starve than die from Covid...

I tell you what i have learned.


There is an intellectual elite that are far more dangerous than the super rich billionaires.
we are subject to the whims of these intellectual monsters who have forced dependence on china, forced American manufacturing out of this country and turned America into their plaything.


I'm a little freaked out. don't mind saying that.

It's really pretty simple.

Nobody's freedom is affected. Nobody's lifestyle is affected.

LEAVE THE FREAKING BATS ALONE.

Thank you.

Suddenly you realise that power, beauty & money are worthless, and can't get you the oxygen you're fighting for.

The world continues its life and it is beautiful. It only puts humans in cages. I think it's sending us a message:

"You are not necessary. The air, earth, water and sky without you are fine. When you come back, remember that you are my guests. Not my masters.""


Are human beings capable of making any changes (don't know what they would be) as this pandemic begins to subside? Or is it inevitable that the world will just return to itself as it always seems to do after any disaster? It seems that with human nature progress (change good or bad) reigns supreme.
Nope.
How can you stop people from eating bats?

Nice try, but you're not paying attention. Are you saying there were no lessons to be learned from the 1918 pandemic, or that we did actually learn something from the experience and applied it to the current pandemic? You've got me all confused.

Oh, and allowing people to "live free" - free to spread the virus as well - would wreck the economy while it kills millions of people.

I would hope that the world would spend more money preparing for pandemics than spending trillions on nuclear missiles but that's just a dream.

Starvation kills more people than a virus with a 98/99% survival rate.
