The damn problem with the COVID19 virus is that it keeps changing! Simple minds think the changing explanations are an indicator of a conspiracy theory without realizing that the virus is outsmarting them.
It's just stunning how something that isn't really alive can hijack people's minds. Isn't it enough that they can hijack people's bodies? Now we have governors signing laws to accelerate its spread.
Children who mingle in schools are the main vector for this virus's spread. The US Surgeon General got it through his kid. If you want to accelerate the deaths of grandparents, you spread the virus through their grandchildren.
Has the dynamics of this virus changed such that we care less now about grandparents dying? Does anyone remember the swine flu global pandemic in 2009? I think nobody recalls or noticed. Why? It was killing only young people.
To be fair, the USA also had a vaccine at that time, so they could mitigate the problem. Only half a million people died from H1N1 in 2009. cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-r…
It seems to me that the modern way of managing a virus is to wait for a vaccine and then let it burn through the population. That's what happened in 2009. Nobody noticed that we were in the midst of a pandemic. Perhaps that's what's happening now in 2022.
