Another friend of the family died from Covid. Probably not even 35 years old. Two kids under 5. Nothing to see here. Move along.

wow what are the odds, since you're about 100x less likely to die under 40

and having that happen twice... wow sorry to hear that

We've been told this several times. Then it was the 'we didn't anticipate Delta', and then it was 'we didn't anticipate Omicron.
It will be gone when it's gone, but let's make damn sure we don't find out how it started.

He forgot to say  “qualified, highly respected.." when speaking of the Chinese commun, scientists.

Sully Sullenberger would be trying to figure out how to land the plane in the Hudson and you'd be telling him to stop trying to land the plane, we need to investigate the birds that flew into the engine

It took 14 years for scientists to find the origin of the 2003 SARS epidemic.  We still do not know the origins of the 2014 Ebola outbreak.

You and I will be long gone before anyone sorts out how SARS-CoV-2 started.

The first step in the process will be figuring out how to secure scientific cooperation from China.  It won’t be easy.

Higher than many think, I would suppose.

Thanks. I was only a mild acquaintance of both, but family and friends knew them better. Both in their 30s, both would have been presumed reasonably good health.

The notion that COVID is an old person's disease seems to be a remnant of the spring/summer 2020 variant and its attendant mythos.

Plenty of young people are experiencing significant illness.

2003 SARS had 8000 deaths. Ebola had 11,000.
Covid 19 is at 5 1/2 million, and that number rises daily.
The efforts by 'scientists' to bury a lab leak origin theory should raise questions. The answers to those questions will not come from China.

Wow.  Sorry to hear.  Anything of note with their health? 

Edit:  Just saw your previous note about presumably no health issues.

The COVID is closing in.

Secretary tested positive yesterday and I was standing next to her on Thursday at the fax machine. (Why she came in when her kids were sick, and later all tested positive, is beyond me.) I'll go get a test tomorrow as it will have been 5 days since contact.

As predicted, the PassiveSon's friends he was with on NYE are one by one testing positive. At least he has taken to wearing a mask around the house when he pops upstairs to go in the kitchen.

I don't get the daily list of right-wing talking points in my inbox, so it's kinda handy that you provide them. I like to know what the wingnuts are obsessing about, just in case I'm too busy to look at Twitter trends for more than five minutes.

In the Quad Cities, we're having a helluva time getting tested.  CVS and Walgreens are several days out.  There's one rapid test location (on the Iowa side).  Kid was swabbed there 5 days ago and cannot get the result.  What a joke.  For a blue county (Rock Island) that fat fuck in charge sure doesn't do much for us.
