Nah, they are just full of shit.

(Cheap, easy and obvious, but I couldn’t help myself.)

Covered elsewhere, but this is a fairly rare disease of usually dark skinned folks, hence research is fairly sparse. (Shocking, I know) But what is known is R0 is estimated at 1.0 at the upper limit, which indicates that an outbreak can be sustained but is unlikely to go into exponential growth like we have become so familiar with lately. There seem to be 2 strains, one with a mortality of <1%, one at >10%. This one may be the second. There is an approved vaccine, but we all know how that goes. It does have a particularly gnarly skin eruption associated with it, so will garner more attention than less symptomatic infections.

long story short, unlikely to become a major player, but will be an issue. Fun times…

Did we really need another lesson in what “exponential growth” means? I had hope we did not, truly.

In a politburo meeting on Tuesday, Kim blasted the “immaturity in the state capacity for coping with the crisis” and blamed the poor response on officials’ "non-positive attitude, slackness, and non-activity,” according to KCNA.

Apparently we do.

That’s consistent with the conservative / not divide in :canada: provinces as well. You were about twice as likely to die under a conservative government as a Liberal/NDP one.

is it wrong of me to wonder whether this will effect the proportion of voters this next election?

I hope not, I’ve been wondering the same thing.

because as we all know, there’s never been two diseases before. it was always and only covid :cry:

please no one tell them that there are coronaviruses that cause the common cold. ( democrat time travelers went back in time with the covid virus to invent the common cold so people would support a socialist takeover of healthcare. obviously )

It’s already wackadoodle level.

The one thing these people can never explain is how the democrats are able to convince the world to go along with their plans to spread disease around the world so they can get elected.
