COVID-19 (artist formerly known as Wuhan strain novel Corona virus)

80 mill I believe. But this doesn't account for the unreported illegal space terrestrials amongst us.

Per the WHO as of 21 February 2023: 756,581,850 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 6,844,267 deaths, reported to WHO.

 

I think the space terrestrials will probably be okay.

 

Never know. The ones in War of the Worlds vastly overestimated their natural immunity to Earthness.

 

I highly doubt a biological pathogen is going to affect non-terrestrial beings. hell, they may not even use DNA/RNA.

Are there even diseases that affect mammals and, say, insects? not carried by insects, but make both humans and insects sick?

 

If we can hack an alien spaceship with a MacBook, you know it's possible.

 

Bats, pangolins, and raccoon dogs. Who the [uck fay] knows.

The New York Times on Twitter: "In samples that came back positive for the coronavirus, an international research team of virus experts said on Thursday that they had found genetic data from a market in Wuhan, China, linking the pandemic's origins with raccoon dogs for sale there. https://t.co/KSfPHTdSbH https://t.co/xNrHQaIqQu" / Twitter

 

Raccoon dogs? What?

 

Similar to a fox.

 

In pop culture, you know the power you get in Super Mario bros 3 where you are in like a fur suit that can fly or turn into a statue? The tanooki/tanuki suit? That's a raccoon dog in japanese. It's like a fox thing but with black bands on the face. Behaviorly/ecologically pretty much a combo of a fox and a raccoon. Can even climb trees, to a degree.

 

I learned something new today.

 

Damn those lab workers even gave it to Mario creatures at the market.

 

It doesn't fit the lab narrative. It doesn't disprove it, but it doesn't fit it.

 

Honestly, it just seems like interested parties trying to muddy the waters and doesn’t really prove anything.


We know there was spread in the market but wasn’t the epicenter of the outbreak.

 

But spread in the market doesn't explain the whole lineage running through raccoon dogs after the market. If lab leak (or strictly one, I am starting to wonder if more than one thing happened), there should be no raccoon dog genetic data in some of those market cases and any case prior.

 

It was a lab leak. Doubtful it was anything remotely resembling intentional, but still.

 

Why are you sure?

 

Because people make mistakes, and it would be very hard to convince me that the lab there was not working with the virus in some capacity. I'm not anywhere near 100% sure or anything. People who are 100% sure of any origin are simply deluded. Given the sensitive nature of the situation, I doubt we will ever know for certain, and that's probably for the best.

Edit: What I mean is we will likely never know whether exposure did originate in a lab, and that's probably for the best. So long as it is only a possibility, it's harder for the Liquor Store Lindseys of the world to beat the war drum.

 

Hell I think plenty of people who might have beat the war drum now know that the blame would fall on Fauci and other Americans involved as much as China.
