(1) Notice that authorities are calling these variants the South African strain and the Nigerian strain. That's bc epidemic-level viruses are always called by a geographic name. It's the Wuhan virus / China virus, not covid.
(2) The story above mentions the Nigerian strain was seen in August. That gels with the fact New Zealand authorities were talking about variants they were finding from around that time onwards.
The UK strain is not a new concept. It's hard to trust any info about covid now.
(3) It's plausible that individuals acting on behalf of the regime in China have been releasing pathogens in various places. It's equally plausible for variants to emerge naturally.
There's >500k Chinese regime spies in the US alone.
(4) This is a WWII level crisis and it's high time our "leaders" started responding accordingly.
I'm not saying actually declare war, I'm talking about facing up to what is happening and making sure the public understand it.
Why haven't we started deporting known spies?
(5) Clearer and better information is needed about the computer systems hacking, the ChiCom spies, and all other current threats that are now "need to know" for the public.
The supply of critical medications is also an issue.
(6) Uncertainty is a killer, of people, jobs, and essential services.
We don't have time to wait for January 6th when the election result _might_ be resolved.
I think a lot of people are at breaking point right now.

I've been providing citizen journalist coverage of emergency events for more than 4 years so I'll be doing the same for this one. From a keyboard like everyone else.
So far all I see is speculation. Here are some points to note:
(2) Do not donate via gofundme or similar websites.
Fraud is common, especially when it's a high profile event like a bombing.
Local PD, FD etc usually have a charity already running.
Use each event as a reminder to get your own household in order. Ready.gov has a page of prevention / recovery tips for every disaster type, including:
(1) Democrat former Treasury Sec Larry Summers was trending & I did a bit of reading about him. Ended up at this website and would like your views on "Evolutionary Dynamics."
Sounds fishy to me. But I need a plain English explainer.
(2) Larry Summers was President of Harvard when Jeffrey Epstein donated $25 million for this program.
Democrat billionaires seem to promote all kinds of harmful social engineering stuff.
What's their end game with "evolutionary dynamics"?
(3) The program's website says: "Our ambitious goals include curing the world of cancer, infectious disease, selfishness, and inclusive fitness theory."
(1) A quick thread about how to win political office.
Chances are that if YOU ran for office locally (really locally) you'd win, this time or next.
Here's why:
(2) The bigger races attract a lot of coverage in the professional and amateur media. The smaller races don't. And even if they do, that's not necessarily a deal breaker.
Most of the decisions that ruin everything are made at your local school board, town council etc.
(3) Over time, we win by taking small races, then medium, then large ones.
It's no use having the presidency and the senate for four years when your school board is mandating critical race theory and overspending on union administrators' salary packages.
(3) My views on the alphabet soup of LGBTQIA are no doubt controversial for some. Good! Open debate is what a free society is meant to support. Try it sometime.
(1) Most of those tweeting #WeAreLGBTQIA mean well, at heart. Some of the neverending alphabet soup of this terminology is unhelpful to the "cause," whatever that is on the day.
Here's my two cents worth:
(2) L and G are understandable and were the originals. L was put in front of G because early on, gay men were getting more airtime than lesbian women were. B was then added, but there are very few times in life when one's status as a B requires laws to be changed. Unlike L & G.
(3) Most LGB were not happy about T being added. LGB is about sexual orientation. T is about which gender you identify with. Ts as a group are tiny compared to LGB, and there's a case for not upending ALL laws & policies for such a tiny group.
I see no conflict btwn Pompeo's & Trump's comments about the foreign hacking. We won't know details until whatever actions the US is taking are completed. Logically, it could be all 3 of China, Russia, & Iran behind it. China planted >500,000 spies in the US. That's even worse.
Read the transcript of the Pompeo interview here. It's been available online for 17 hours, but media focused on one sentence of it, taken out of context (of course.)
The Pompeo interview includes damning commentary of the US media, Democrats, their allies the Chinese Communist Party, and their appeasement (he uses that term) of Iran and other malign actors.
He even refers to CCP spies on American college campuses.
