So coronavirus is definitely going to kill a few of us.

[NaturalBornHustler]

I'm having trouble working out a math problem. Maybe someone can help.

1. The circumference of the earth is 25 thousand miles.
2. The land mass of the earth is 200 million square miles
3. There are multi billions of animals on earth.
4. These animals come into contact with humans all over the earth.

What is the probability that the coronavirus would make its transfer from animal to human within a couple square mile radius of a lab doing gain of function research on coronaviruses?

I put the probability at 0.0000000000000000000000000001% but I think I might be off by a zero or two.

Where do you put the probability?

Stop with the baseless conspiracy theories.

The interim report argues that the "likely" origin of the COVID-19 pandemic was a "research-related incident" in China.

"While precedent of previous outbreaks of human infections from contact with animals favors the hypothesis that a natural zoonotic spillover is responsible for the origin of SARS-CoV-2, the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 that resulted in the COVID-19 pandemic was most likely the result of a research-related incident," the report's introduction reads. "This conclusion is not intended to be dispositive. The lack of transparency from government and public health officials in the PRC with respect to the origins of SARS-CoV-2 prevents reaching a more definitive conclusion."


In a release, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, of which Burr is ranking member, says there is "substantial evidence" suggesting that this was the cause of the pandemic, and that a research-related incident is consistent with early epidemiology showing the spread of the virus in the same district as the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

You are stuck on conspiracy theories. I said nothing about any conspiracies. I asked a simple math problem. Can you answer the question? What is the probability?

So you don't think Fauci conspired with anyone to cover up the lab leak? Could you elaborate?

Yep, almost as stupid as you, RichardBrodiesCumSack.

No, really. That’s great. Now turn around and face the wall…

Fines for the unvaccinated: Fifty-eight percent (58%) of voters would oppose a proposal for federal or state governments to fine Americans who choose not to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

House arrest: Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democratic voters would favor a government policy requiring that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

Imprisonment for questioning the vaccine: Nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.

Forced quarantine: Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats would favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

Stripping people of their children: Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Democratic voters would support temporarily removing parents’ custody of their children if parents refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine. That’s much more than twice the level of support in the rest of the electorate – seven percent (7%) of Republicans and 11% of unaffiliated voters – for such a policy.


Imagine aligning with these sell out pussies

[devidee]

And they want amnesty.

The more outrageous thing about the "Pandemic Amnesty" article was that School Shutdown Queen Randi Weingarten quote-tweeted it and said she agreed.

Yeah, Randi... of course you support "anmesty" from the public regarding horrible, ill-informed decisions made during COVID. Because you were one of the worst offenders.

On October 29, the BA.5 variant fell slightly below 50% of all cases, which is the first time since June when that was the case. BQ.1 and closely related BQ1.1 comprised almost 25% of cases.

Despite several other variants being out there (BA.4.6, BF.7, BA5.2.6, etc) being out there, all of them are direct descendants of BA.5, aside from BA.4.6, which came from BA.4. This includes BQ.1 and BQ1.1.

My point is that, almost 5 months after BA.4/5 took over, we have not seen a major departure from those two, even as BA.5 itself has fallen under 50%, and even as BA.4 itself is almost gone.

The practical, real-world expectations from this are:

1) Less of a chance you are susceptible to reinfection if you've had COVID since mid-June

2) More likelihood the new "bivalent" vaccine will work against the present (and near future) variants

3) The "severe disease" profile of the disease will remain mostly unchanged. The almost nonexistent under-65 death rate (without major preexisting conditions) will continue, and the hospitalization/death rate of elderly people should stay around where it is now



I will say that I know a few people who are getting COVID repeatedly in 2022, sometimes less than a month after recovering. I am not sure how to explain this, other than perhaps some people are not maintaining quality antibodies for very long. I will say that I had massive, long-term, in-your-face exposure to Benjamin and his mom when they had it in late July, and I did not get reinfected. I also have not caught it again despite spending a lot of time in live cardrooms since.

So at the height of Covid the Governor of Colorado shut down indoor dining everywhere but granted an exemption for the Denver Airport restaurants.

Southwest at that time sold a $24 ticket to Palm Springs from Denver.

You’d tell your wife, “we are going out” and take her to the airport with your $48 worth of Palm Springs tickets in your hip pocket. She’d complain she hasn’t brought any clothes. You use the tix to clear TSA and get in the terminal. You would have achieved the Holy Grail of inside dining.

Or so the story goes.

Even better, you could have sprung for fully refundable tickets, dined out at the airport, and then returned the tickets for a full refund.

You can get a full refund of any domestic flight if you cancel within 24 hours of purchase. No need to buy the cheap tickets.

Great contribution!

You're such a smart guy!

Go take a seat on the double digit IQ bus next to BCR

You got smoked

Stay off this thread unless it's to admit you are a failure and apologize for being so wrong, fag.
