efficacy against the SA variant hasn't been demonstrated, the lead of the Astrazeneca vaccine says he's "concerned" because the new mutations are on the part that codes for how it interacts with antibodies
Apparently "hasn't been demonstrated yet" means "it won't work"? It was already demonstrated for the British variant. It is extremely unlikely any strain will render the vaccines useless, at worst they may be less effective.
If 20% of covid survivors were permanently disabled that would already be - extremely conservatively - 6 million people. Realistically it’s three times more. That’s 2-6% of the entire population. This has not actually happened.
20% have damage that might cause lasting problems.
That doesn't mean they are dying or won't recover. Doesn't even mean they will ever even know (if COVID damage causes me to take a heart attack at 55.... that sucks but I'm not gonna be a doomer about it).
Are we seriously going to stay like this for years?
Yes, we have already been collapsing for over a decade while white libs and lefties ignore the threat because acknowledging it means giving up their smugness, and because it feels better to make fun of 400 lb militiatards than to acknowledge that an obese human can still kill dozens with an AR15.
We will continue to collapse into a warzone that makes Iraq look like a 1st world country, all the while libs accusing China of human rights violations and "Han supremacy" while POC get systematically lynched in suburbs
I think its unironically better to "LeArN tO CoDe" than it would be to do small arms training in such a scenario were to be known to definitely unfold in that manner.
Lol, China doesn't have the capability to invade the US. How the fuck would they even get troops over here? You couldn't paradrop enough troops in for an actual invasion, not to mention that paradropping requires air superiority in the first place which China would not be capable of getting because they couldn't even get most of their air force over here. You couldn't do a naval invasion across the entire pacific ocean, so what, are they gonna push through Alaska like in fuckin fallout? I doubt they could even get there unless Russia let them use Chukotka as a staging ground for some reason, and even if they did, good luck pushing an Army through all the mountain ranges up there.

All the non-white nations in the world combined, do. And Russia and Europe would almost definitely join because they probably don't want to risk it anyway.
US nuke arsenal getting taken over by wigger nationalists = the entire world now has to invade the US, or risk getting nuked. Very simple. Sakaiism becomes real because they force it to.
I mean I find the scenario you're describing so incredibly unlikely as to be bad alt-history anyway, honestly. Even in that situation the various non-white countries are still gonna have bullshit geopolitical bickering and reasons to believe that trying to invade the US would be a very bad idea, like.. for example, I don't see Mexico ever agreeing to spearhead an invasion of the US.
And this hypothetical would need them to for any of the world's combined military might to be able to actually get within striking range of the US. I think you're drastically underestimating how big of a strategic asset the geographical isolation of the USA is.
You seriously think this is going to happen within two years? Holy shit, some of the people on this site are so detached from reality.
Tell you what, if I don't die in the PLANs glorious unprecedented logistically magical amphibious invasion of Seattle, I'll crawl back to this ancient thread and admit I was wrong.
more likely scenario in my view is that a Junta of some sort seizes control and maintains peace on the grounds of having firm control of the nukes and military.
nah, China and the rest of the United States favorite scapegoats must always ready for war because the United States is a uncontrollable and schizophrenic monster that, every 4 years, rolls the dice on whether they elect a monster who nonetheless maintains the tenuous status quo, or insane lunatics, who often already reside at levels of power within the government, who go on public TV salivating over the idea of starting WWIII with China, Russia, Iran, etc.

no shit, every military is technically "always ready for war", but there's a level of emphasis that you put beyond that for when you're REALLY expecting war in the immediate term, you are really libbing the minutiae here
No need to be a fucking asshole. when the most insane country on earth ramps up aggression against any nation they have to respond in turn, but it's not like this is something new. More importantly, to the original comment that you responded to, Xi's orders in no way indicate a plan to "pre-emptively or reactively invade the US", China's strategies and responses are one million percent defensive. You don't get to call me a lib if you seriously want to argue that the PLA will swoop in will save America from itself.

We did make one. It's being distributed now.
This is doomer stuff.

Can I get a source on this 👀. Among my own friend group this isn’t even true.

Yeah I wasn’t really gambling on making it past 60 as it is.
Don't worry, thanks to climate change unless you're like 40 you most likely weren't anyway.

No I'm saying I don't think it's right.
Woops, thought I was replying to OP. Sorry!

HA!
It really is, and it's probably the reason Xi told his troops to "be ready for war at any second"

invading a nation to prevent 8000 nukes falling into terrorist hands is defensive.
stupid and lib, bye bye
why? and what are WNs?
