      Oh we’re getting lockdowns alright, just not related to anything the WHO will recommend.

        Remember how ok conservatives were about the parts of covid you could be racist about? Yeah they’re more or less going to do that but just those parts and probably unrelated to a virus.

          And the parts that inconvenienced them.

          If NY was locked down with refrigerator trailers full of the dead, that’s fine. If Dallas has the same, fuckit, we’re going to Applebee’s.

          There’s a serious level of chauvinism to their ideological club.

            A lot of people blamed Asians conceptually for Covid, everything from saying it came from eating dogs to the idea of the Chinese government making it on purpose.

                Think about it for a second, even if it was a man made virus how would you go about proving that without somebody saying “yeah it was me and this is how I did it in immaculate detail”, and even if somebody did that there’s a decent chance they’re lying for the fame.

                  I read that there would be genetic markers of a manmade virus, and that this virus’s RNA matched a natural evolution.

                  Every action leaves some sort of trace.

                    Markers for manmade virus sounds like something you can opt out of if you don’t want to follow conventions. The best article I saw about whether it was human made or not stated that the virus has several mutations that made it better accommodated to humans, each of those could appear naturally, all of them appearing naturally is also possible but less likely.

                    Also no, it’s not like you could read a fine print ‘Made in China’ on a virus, unfortunately. Even if there are traces, those traces are much less definitive than what we can get in normal scale world

      Oh we’ll get lockdowns

      Anyone who’s even looks like the people of the country where the first case is identified will be locked down… in concentration camps.

      The only nice thing in America is that states can make their own laws; when the bird flu pandemic starts, sane states will institute rules to deal with it, they don’t need to wait for the federal government

      It won’t be the pandemic it will be curfews when Trump enacts Marshall Law to combat the “dangerous brown people” in our cities.

      Since you apparently were not around just a few short years ago, that’s controlled by the states.

      Your ignorance is astounding.
