His claim that Wuhan is centered in a site of coronavirus circulation is still wrong.

Here's a map for pangolins, with Wuhan barely scratching their habitat.

That still isn't measuring Coronavirus lol

You might be right but your sources aren't supporting your claim

I know ffs... do you think it's easy to find a map of the overall, trans-species distribution of coronaviruses in China?
The bat and pangolin maps for China are pretty much identical though, with both species mainly living in the Sichuan Basin and the South China hills. Wuhan is located in a pocket t in the lower Jangtze region that is cutting into both species' habitat.

We're this far into a pandemic and you haven't memorized the location of all identified species of coronavirus on the Chinese mainland?

For shame....

I lean more towards the "vaxxed and done" camp, although I have started to wear a mask again in appropriate settings because I don't want to catch COVID and stay home for two weeks.

I've been camp vaxxed and done too.

Also interesting to see a liberal author in a liberal magazine finally come around to agree with what I have been saying since April of 20-fucking-20:
Quote
The risk of COVID to vaccinated teachers and even unvaccinated students seems lower than we initially thought. Meanwhile, the costs of remote schooling seem higher than we feared.




--------------------------


The obvious starting point for any such discussion is that virtually everyone who's at any noteworthy risk from covid can protect him- or herself by getting the vaccine. Hence, the vaccines have turned covid from a collective to an individual health risk and there no longer is any moral or ethical obligation for the barely-at-risk segments of the population to sacrifice their own lifetime to protect others.

Therefore, the main unsettled question imho is the following: if we all got back to our pre-pandemic lives and let Omicron rip unmitigated, would there be enough severe cases to overwhelm the healthcare system on their own, excluding a potential "mass quarantine effect"? As soon as we can be confident enough that the answer is no, all the quarantine rules are obsolete and the mass quarantines are no longer a cogent argument in favor of keeping restrictions up.



As far as I know, things are pointing in this direction, but we don't have the necessary confidence yet to make such a decision. So some of the milder restrictions should be kept in place for a couple more weeks if you ask me, until the picture on Omicron is clearer and a larger share of the population has been immunized by contact with the virus. But unless the data on Omicron's hospitalization rate and lethality change for the worse, we are through the worst in 4-10 weeks. In any case, I don't think that we will need a vaccine mandate anymore and all restrictions must end once and for all come this spring.

I wonder how we're supposed to be able to map the population of microorganisms.
FFS its a virus that can only replicate in certain mammals, therefore its host is wherever those mammal populations are. Which is everywhere, once it becomes human-borne.


But to tie this back to the original point you made, its particularly telling that not only did the outbreak occur at the one city that hosts research on these bat viruses and was studying exactly the kind of gain of function research that could create this virus, but also that this outbreak did not occur in the natural habitat of these bats- and that coronavirus samples were routinely shipped from those natural habitats.... to that wuhan lab. It demonstrates a very clear pathway for how the virus could have been the product of recombination or gene editing at or around the laboratory, from samples brought there from Yunnan, and then escaped into the populace. Its just way, way too convenient that the 'closest' relative virus is 2000+ miles away but serves as the source for samples at the wuhan lab.

Ace2 receptors aren't inherent to any known viruses in that area.

I’m just happy the Sars covid-19 watches the news and knows when to chill out and when to juke our vaccine antibodies (corona runs like super fast), but let’s us eat at restaurants. Honestly it’s pretty polite. Thank god for small miracles.

lol these goof balls think the pathogen is actual "bats". Try combat trichomonas, comes from "animals"(single celled), & is an entry point for the "bats" or incubi & succubare possession.
