You jest, but it's probable that genetically engineered diseases WILL be targeted at specific ethnic groups. And fairly soon. See note 1.
( The novel Kill Ratio, 1987, by Janet Morris & David Drake, had such a bioweapon )
It's highly unlikely that America would develop and use such a weapon. We are the wretched refuse, the melting pot. Thus a germ that targeted, for example, Slavic genotypes would kill plenty of Americans, ditto with every other ethnic group targeted.
But China is relatively homogenous, and the leaders are pretty racist against the populations on the fringe of the Middle Kingdom, like the Uyghurs, as well as divisions internal to China that most foreigners aren't aware of. And that's other Chinese.
A bioweapon targeting Caucasians or Africans would be nigh ideal to destroy opposition to world domination, as well as opening up land for colonization by the overcrowded Chinese with their massive sex ratio problem.
Sure, you'd have to be incredibly evil and callous about mass murder to create and use such a weapon, but incredibly evil and callous mass murderers basically defines Communist Party Leadership.
Note 1. It's still unclear if Covid-19 is genetically targeted. Thus 2019 May be as historically significant as 1945, the year fission bombs were first used in war.
This was interesting to me; Early on people would say it is like the flu. Then others would act like they were heretics and proclaim the holy truth to any that would listen about the apocalypse that was coming. I still say it is like the flu. It is time to start having Pooh's Breath parties and get this over with.
Horowitz: More evidence that most coronavirus cases are now weaker than the flu
I've said all along this whole thing is a crock of shit. Now even more. PA has reinstated its "wear a mask anytime you're in public" requirement. Just-Joe Biden is saying he'll federally mandate mask use for the entire country if he's elected. Even President Trump is pushing mask use now...but NOBODY is talking about what's in that article - even as case counts skyrocket, the mortality rate continues to decline.
Actually if you READ the article, the cases are weaker now than they have been. Which is why we are seeing a spike in case count, but still a decline in fatalities.
Is this the evidence coronavirus IS getting weaker? Global coronavirus infections are spreading at their fastest rate - but deaths are going down
It was posted here weeks ago that (allegedly)-engineered viruses, as they go through generations of transmission, will eventually return to their pre-(allegedly)-engineered state.
In other words, they lose their enhancements, and return to nature.
In other words...COVID-19 IS getting weaker.
From the article:
As you can see, case count and death count diverged starting in April (globally).
MUCH more than 2 weeks ago.
But...keep believing all the hype, if it makes you feel better about being a sheep.
For those of us interested in facts? Here's some from the article:
One possible though as-yet unproven explanation for this trend is that the virus could be getting weaker.
That theory was first put forward by Dr Alberto Zangrillo, head of Milan's San Raffaele Hospital and former physician to Silvio Berlusconi, earlier this week.
Dr Zangrillo suggested the amount of the virus detected in patients towards the end of May was 'infinitesimal' compared to amounts detected earlier in the spread.
Several days later, he expanded - saying it appears the way the virus interacts with its host had changed.
His comments were echoed by Matteo Bassetti, the head of the infectious diseases clinic at the San Martino hospital in the city of Genoa
'The strength the virus had two months ago is not the same strength it has today,' he said.
Meanwhile Dr Donald Yealy, a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, said today that he has also believes 'the virus is changing'.
Naturally, the WHO is pushing back on this...but if the charts (which are hard, factual numbers) show cases vs. fatalities diverging, starting nearly 3 months ago...that tells me the virus IS changing.
Do we need more information? Sure. But those numbers tell me that change is happening, and the virus is weakening, and it has been for nearly 10 weeks now.
That's programmed weakening to infect as much people as possible, but once everyone will be infected the virus will turn to deadly form. People will beg about mercy but it will be too late.
Reality is, this thing is getting weaker - it is returning to its roots, to its natural state, before it was (or wasn't) theoretically artificially-enhanced by the Chinese.
Fact is, fewer people are dying from this thing than ever before, and more than one source has stated "it is weaker than a common flu at this point".
I would say though that one reason for declining global death rate could be improved treatments and ICU availability, and also reduced spread to/in nursing homes.
But...but... My Mom watches CNN religiously. ( nun levels of suspension of disbelief ) and she says Texas is dying!!!! The lousy Governor is killing people left & right, unlike the honorable and kind New York Governor. ( we somewhat disagree on the morals of Grandma Killer Cuomo )
We also disagree on the respect given CNN. I take them pretty seriously. If they say X, X is not so. Pretty reliably dishonest, imho. She disagrees.
