WHO warns COVID-19 pandemic is ‘not necessarily the big one’

COVID was an infectious virus that was different enough that we couldn’t expect immunities, and that had a somewhat higher death rate in part because we misunderstood the effects it had on the body and mistreated it, killing people.

In the end, if we had let it rip through the world, we’d have doubled the death rate for one year, and then had about 5 years of lower death rate than usual since the old people who would have died each year would already be dead.

It would have had much less impact on the population of the world than the Spanish Flu, or the Bubonic Plague. It was much less serious than most Ebola.

Instead, we decided to do a trial run for the end-of-the-world pandemic. We cut infections by a factor of 10.

But imagine if COVID had 4 times the death rate, as some of the things that have hit us in the past 100 years had. THAT is the real danger, something highly infectious, but also very deadly.

> Just to scoop up all those who refuse this vaccine.

Or the ones who did — the elites aren’t really getting the vaccine during those photo-ops.

I suspect that we really have to worry about other even more deadly pandemics coming in the year before upcoming elections. So I imagine covid 23 and 27 could potentially be pretty darn bad indeed.

Naw, the big one is liberalism and socialism - the new one world government. We need to pray ‘in one voice’ for Messiah to come. then he will!

Indeed. Intentionally released or not, bad actors have learned what a pandemic can do. Whether or not you believe Covid-19 was engineered, the “big one” will be.

We're gonna need a bigger boat bug!

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Free everyone else.

Its often been said by physicians that the world is just one mutation away from Agamemnon.

True.

Bacteria = CHEESE! Glorious CHEESE!

When Cheese is outlawed, only Outlaws will have Cheese!

"It’s all going to turn out OK."

For some of us! ;)

IOW, they have another one planned for us.

You have to admit, though, that is a neater and tidier way to conquer a country than war.

It doesn’t destroy goods and services and infrastructure.

That way the elite can continue to live in the manner to which they are accustomed, while they starve the masses and control them and still keep the supply lines of goods flowing to them. No hardship for them and the hell with everyone else.

LOL!

What a bunch of idiots.

I was worried about CV19. It is a nasty bug and has killed a lot of people. I also have my great uncle’s diary from 1918.

This bug can’t hold a candle to the first outbreak of H1N1

Time to move the UN to a hellhole - a place they belong...
