    No exaggeration, every time I click on an article about covid it's talking about a strain I had never heard about

      rna viruses are generally less stable than dna viruses and this is an rna virus that is basically going to be spreading unchecked forever so it will be constantly mutating and we are basically fucked without 1) lockdowns that actually matter and 2) literally everybody capable of doing so getting vaccinated

      this isn't the kind of thing you can just let spread forever but WOOPS

        Unfortunately every supply line on the planet except for Toyota is now JIT, so there is zero stockpile anywhere on earth for any material. If we go for full lockdowns the economic damage will be catastrophic.

        Please ignore the death count ticker, we can't turn it off.

        Not only all of that but it's also a virus that can infect most common animals meaning that it can mutate in fun and crazy ways inside of animal populations like deer, rats, cats, dogs, etc and then jump back over to humans.

          With the wonderful side effect of (possibly) making lockdowns way less effective.
