We have way too many people and we are way too interconnected with all the flights around the world. I think eventually we will be slammed with something far worse and more deadly than covid. Ebola/Covid or something like that. Either naturally or from a lab. We are doomed.

Could China breed new covid strains after they ease the lockdown?

Yes.

There is evidence that HIV infected people in Africa harbored Covid-19 long enough in their immunocompromised bodies that allowed the virus to produce more resistant variants.

Also, the shots are probably producing more resistant variants too. The latest Omicron Booster is NOT effective against the latest sub-variant BQ1.1

So guess what Pharma will do, they'll release an updated booster for BQ1.1. The virus will respond and mutate into yet another resistant strain.

IMO, we should have injected people with Omicron, everybody. It would be cheaper and more effective than the shot, which does not prevent infection or spread.

The whole planet is already a hot spot.

I'm sure the world's manufacturing base being swamped by COVID will not have any problematic side effects.

i'm sure that continually shutting down the world's largest manufacturing centers for weeks at a time didn't either.

interesting, though, to know that you think eternal shutdowns are the way to go.

How about an engineered virus with the R0 of measles and the mortality of hantavirus or ebola?

Things ain’t looking good in China… and I wonder when the Biden administration is planning to ban travels to/from China to avoid the new strains coming to wreck havoc on Americans (if you wait for the lying CCP to officially admit/announce their new strains, it is all too late)….
