I'm actually sincerely starting to wonder, in a non-joking way unlike last night, whether this is actually an escaped bioweapon. How do you make something more perfect than this? All you'd need to do is just release this and let nature do the rest of the work to mutate it, and, uhh...

And as a final shitpost, I encourage people to read about how loving utterly metal the immune system is, and just how inconceivable it is that it's so effective. It's a machine to win a genetic arms race in a week where the opponent has been preparing for generations.

If I remember my biology, aren't there immune system cells that attach themselvs to/consume virus cells and then explode?

lmao you could do not worse than Trump if you were deliberately trying to spread the pandemic

1. Refusing to use WHO test kits, US CDC were found to be inaccurate due to primer design failure
2. Spreading fake news like it will get better with weather
3. Not testing at risk people
4. Letting political lackeys run things instead of subject matter experts
5. Overruled SMEs on multiple occasions during the crisis handling such as allowing infected boomers to be flown off the cruise ships + mix with health people
6. Defunded CDC as part of cost savings idea while giving trillions of dollars in tax cuts to the rich
7. Dissolved the pandemic rapid response team from the previous administration for political reasons
8. Belittling the possible threat, "It's just the flu"
9. Prevented CDC from talking with the media, CDC responses would have to to approved by the Trump administration prior to release
10. Trumpy coronavirus response plan was actually funded by cutting resources for other parts of the federal government (Ebola prevention efforts in Africa)

You might say Trump was our first Marxist president,

the ontario government has been having to eat poo poo the last few weeks for wanting to cut public healthcare funding and also loving with people's sick days so they only use them as a last resort.

just endless confirmation of having an organized state being essential to keeping modernity from killing us all that people have ignored for the last 40 years because there hasn't been any substantially disastrous plagues

Ford Nation is pretty much the same as Trump’s base and Ford tried to do exactly what the Republicans would do when he was voted in. That Ontarians turned on him gives me some hope.

For the Americans, the previous party leader was busted for having sex with his teenage interns because Conservatives are the same everywhere

Also Ford lost the popular vote but won the riding vote during the leadership convention.

I wouldn't put too much stock in Ontarians, but everyone who has contracted CONVID has self-isolated at least, so it's not self-circulating in Canada yet. Maybe in BC though, if it did get into a long-term care facility.
