the grifting class feels secure in their voting bloc and no longer gives a poo poo about appealing to the other 66% of America, we've got the Kush telling us that our taxpayer-funded national medical stockpiles are for "them" while associated strategists are getting out of politics and starting businesses selling PPE. It's a transparent 'gently caress you' pipeline and a third of America thinks it's great because people in NYC are dying.

He could guarantee re-election no matter what else he does or what else happens, by giving all Americans $1200/month until November but he's already shooting that down

PA has a democratic governor

let the disease ravage states with democratic governors and say "if you don't want to die (not great) from democrat incompetence, vote Republican!"

if you want to crack ping yourself on this particular conspiracy theory: Last year's 'vaping illness' produced the same ground glass infiltrate looking pneumonia that corona does, as well as the most severe cases having the same comorbidities:


UK flu admissions were up 10x in december compared to last year


My guess is that it had started to spread globally sometime last year, people only started paying attention after some event in Wuhan really magnified infectivity and virulence.

I don't understand this. If it started to spread globally last year, why are the bodies just now starting to pile up?

The coronavirus outbreak in France was not caused by cases imported from China, but from a locally circulating strain of unknown origin, according to a new study by French scientists at the Institut Pasteur in Paris.

Genetic analysis showed that the dominant types of the viral strains in France belonged to a clade – or group with a common ancestor – that did not come from China or Italy, the earliest hotspot in Europe.

Donald Trump, like any incumbent Republican, can count on his base. He's the most popular Republican president since Reagan, he's going to get 43-44% of the popular vote no matter what he does.

This is down to a combination of ignorance, laziness, malice, and a very dumb political calculation that if even slightly more democrat voters die than republican voters he comes out ahead and looking weak or like he's not done enough in November will do more to harm him than a couple hundred thousand corpses.

he's probably right honestly.

PA has a Democratic governor. Also, the chudlands of PA are going to vote for Trump anyway, because it will hurt the undesirables in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Interesting

quote:

Benjamin Neuman, professor and chair of biological sciences with the Texas A&M University-Texarkana, said the French strains might have come from Belgium, where some sequences most closely related to the original strain from China were clustered.

“Since the earliest European strains of [the coronavirus] Sars-CoV-2 seem to be associated with Belgium, the idea that the virus spread from Belgium to both Italy and France at around the same time seems plausible, as this paper contends,” he said.

The Australian government has been looking into this and their investigation revealed that the virus definitely evolved in nature, there's zero evidence that the Wuhan lab was the cause of the outbreak, it almost certainly spread from the wet market and they don't believe it was released intentionally.

Their conclusion: "You can't prove a negative so we still can't say that it didn't come from the Wuhan lab."
