@WalkerBragman I keep returning to the differences between Measles and COVID, and the biggest difference I can see besides their symptoms is the type of virus. Otherwise, they're both single strand RNA viruses, the most transmissible of all viruses.
@WalkerBragman Both Influenza and COVID are coronaviruses, we've yet to reach herd immunity with Influenza and COVID is about 13 times more infectious than COVID. Am I missing something? The headlines in Brazil read "COLAPSO!"
@WalkerBragman Is there a metric for adaptability or evolutionary capacity that's not being measured?
@WalkerBragman Are we measuring the number of mutations created on average in a host cell to measure its evolutionary capacity, its adaptability?
@WalkerBragman We've yet to successfully safeguard the world's population with vaccines that successfully address all the strains and we still live in a globalized marketplace. In the midst of such careless frivolity, I can't help think that more people will fall ill and die.
@WalkerBragman Germany has been under lockdown for over a month while people in the United States who insist on upholding public health safety protocols continue to be stigmatized and murdered, but we don't bitch as loudly as the fascists and Liberals.
@WalkerBragman I expect another spike by next Winter, if not sooner, despite vaccinations. Vaccines will curb deaths and blunt the infection rate, but when Americans behave so poorly, we're giving the virus every opportunity to cripple society and claim more lives.
@WalkerBragman The only difference between Trump and Biden's COVID policy is personality, and now figures of authority in the press at The Post and Times are proliferating anti-science and anti-union talking points under the rubric of progressive politics.
@WalkerBragman @threadreaderapp unroll please. Thank you!
