I realize that WHO 'no evidence getting it prevents reinfection' thing is just preliminary over-caution but it makes me wonder how capital would honestly respond if reinfection was common and widespread.

Like what's more appealing? A years-long war of attrition between the economy and the virus until widespread vaccine deployment or a months-long full martial law lockdown and fully closed borders until internal eradication of the virus?

If you never try it progress won't be made in that field. The Germans and Soviets did a ton of awful medical experiments during ww2 and after but the entire world ended up learning a ton.

I thought this was mostly a misconception and most of the poo poo they did was so whacky and the experiments were so badly designed they wouldn’t be useful even if they weren’t just insane torture stuff?

Animals carry and transmit the virus. Internal eradication would not be effective.

the best retort to being called out is that sitcoms like scrubs said some stereotype about surgeons we all know TV makes reality

There is no relationship between pediatric neurosurgery and epidemiology. It's like saying I should be in charge because I'm the manager of a large diesel shop and since I know all about engines I should be able to figure out viruses.

Epidemiology was not part of his training. Even if you think he's smart enough to get it, don't you think an infectious disease expert would be better instead of training another specialist from scratch?

Are you so stupid that you think this equation is reversible? Do you think the Director of Infectious Disease at an institute can do brain surgery?

There's always something that can be learned. It's just western medical ethics boards weigh that the costs exceed the benefits. For example that guy with ALS or w/e that wants to do the head transplant. There's no way that would be allowed in the United States, but you can be sure there will be a ton of people that will be interested in observing and trying to learn anything that they can when it happens in Russia or wherever it's going to happen at.

I don't understand the Bill Gates conspiracy theory.

It's extremely obvious that Disney is behind this.

Marvel wrapped up. Star Wars wrapped up. The virus was released in China where they hate Star Wars and Disney. It all adds up.

Thanks but I got it. My mom used to garden a 30' by 100' patch when I was a kid because a rural high school teacher in the 1980s and 1990s didn't pay much.

Lol I have those too. My grandfather was convinced by some huckster in the 1970s that the real money was in, no poo poo, drilling water wells in sparsely populated areas in Southern Missouri. Moved the whole family from just outside St. Louis to a total shithole mining town.

Just thinking about it pisses me off, and that gently caress has been dead for 20 years.

lol we’re not going to have another lockdown. the argument will be “lockdowns dont work!”, though it wont matter what theyre argument is bc capitalism wont stop its gears again and no one will care

Its also going to be way harder to try to lock down when it's hot out. The virus hit us at a nearly perfect time to do stay at home for a month or two (after holidays, heck even spring break didn't do much damage) and all that time got wasted and now the difficult part is coming for the few states that are going to try to cancel July 4 and get ignored by the masses

Pretty sure that those secret Nazi and Japanese torture medicine advances are a myth, and that deregulation/demoralization of industries doesn't actually produce better or more results. I think it just creates a sloppy and amateurish environment.

I drove through Missouri in August once during a cross country move and I swear the whole state smelled like wet paint. Started in St. Louis and went away pretty much right when I got to Kansas. I’ve asked other people who have been there about this and honestly can’t find anyone who will back me up on this. I don’t know if the Show Me gestapo are just that powerful or if the wet paint smell damages a certain part of the brain, but I feel like I’m the only one whose smelled the truth
