I think we might be seeing a nasty combo of Byssinosis, Depression, and COVID. First, depression causes immunosuppression thanks to the release of cortisol on depressed people, and cortisol is known to cause a susceptabilitty to diseases that wouldn't kill a person normally, and we are seeing how this quarantine is making people depressed. Second, COVID causes all that lung fuckery. Factor in the dead and boom, the quarantine is causing a cascade effect of immunosupression on the already compromised; even the common cold would put these people down. So, COVID didn't suddenly go more potent, we just got weaker as the result of SCIENTISTS not listening to the skeptics. If you told the SCIENTISTS that this quarantine might make it worse, they would call you anti-science, revoke your license, and shit on you.

And Byssinosis. Well...

It's literally asbestosis, but instead of asbestos fucking your lungs, it is cotton. Yeah, cotton can fuck your lungs, and cause symptoms very similar to COVID. I don't think it is causing those deaths, rather, all of those cases of 'long COVID' are just retards re-using cotton masks, which are supposed to BE THROWN AWAY if you touch it! WHY?! BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE BYSSINOSIS!

And don't get me started on people with pneumonia being considered COVID cases.

If there's anything I've learned from this pandemic is that the only thing Cubans and Venezuelans hate more than their own government is another one telling them what to do. I called it after the election and I'll call it again. Hispanics in the US that aren't Mexicans are going to be voting GOP top to bottom. It's completely based.

For shits and giggles I went back to 1 year ago ITT.



No talk of masks outside Asia, a couple schools shut down. James Bond movie release delayed (still isn't out). Only cases in a handful of states in the US. Runs beginning on toilet paper and hand sanitizer...as I recall I was doing my final stocking up that week and lots of us were smug we'd been prepping for the last 2 weeks thanks to this thread. A few doomers but quite a few posters saying it won't be the end of the world.

Edit: Also forgot to mention the Dow Jones was 5000 points lower than today. And that wasn't even the lowest it would go.

But lol:

How about this context: At best the California jackboot lockdown vs the Texas model may have saved 19 people per 100k population. At best.
Of course the difference could also be a counting error or different strains.
It's almost literally 'if it only saves one person' shit.

Any tiny numbers saved (altho I doubt these cloth masks do anything much) will be outnumbered by suicides of people driven over the edge by job loss and isolation.

That would be a logical explanation as to why all of the states that didn't lock down or enforce mask mandates are having a better time of it. The human body is such a complex machine, you can't possibly think you can change just one variable (exposure to the virus) and get one result (get more or less sick) without changing a whole bunch of other things too (everything you mentioned) and even end up being counterproductive on the thing "policymakers" "wanted" to "change" (get less sick).

How long until they turn around and say "Covid Spikes, Dood!" and just close everything again for the fourth time? I see no end in sight.

They already have the narrative ready. How can this person predict all the coming pandemics I wonder...

And only a gatekeeping capital-P Prepper Lifestyle nerd would try and come up with arbitrary rules about who is allowed to self-identify as one of their vaunted ranks. If I had used the term "preparing" or "buying supplies" would you have been triggered so?

I admit before this I never kept more than a few days food on hand, never used cash and definitely didn't keep it around. I had no gold or silver, backup power, or personal defense weapons. I do now.

Now I'm not some composting toilet using guy with 20 guns and buried shipping containers of food living on a ranch, but I (and other family members) are 10x more stocked than we were a year ago and unlike the people who were trying to offload toilet paper in bulk on ebay last fall, we kept up with it and keep buying more food, supplies, and PMs.

Which as a Prepper you should be happy about, because the more people who are prepared, the less there are to hit you up when SHTF.

The thing about being a gatekeeper is there's always someone who can gatekeep you. "Oh you have 6 months worth of food? You're no prepper unless you have 6 years." "Oh you have 6 years worth of food? You're no prepper unless you have a farm." "Oh you have a farm? You're no prepper unless you have a hidden ranch off the grid in the woods with secret farmland."

Nice of places to lift restrictions in time for allergy season.
Stock up on Claritin and Kleenex, preppers! (I, of course, already have a cabinet full of the suff. I keep it next to the #10 cans of shredded potatoes. OPSEC, what's that)

True prepping at meta levels will realize that the preppers who stocked food are the ones you use as a larder once the local commiecorps are done raping and murdering their corpses. As an **aktual** prepper who understands the dynamics of living in a collapsed globohomo communitopia I know that lube and oral skills are what will be in high demand to stay in good with the local kommitzar.

Fucking amateurs

Anyway back to sperging about the unending wuhanic nightmare from which we will never wake.

Pfizer CEO's Israel visit cancelled because he is not fully vaccinated​

Screenshot_2021-03-06 Pfizer CEO's Israel visit cancelled because he is not fully vaccinate….png
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has cancelled his expected visit to Israel after it turned out he has not been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, N12 reported Friday.
According to the channel, Bourla, as well as members of the delegation that was meant to accompany him during his visit, have not received the second dose of the vaccine.

As a result, it was decided to delay the visit by several days, which also posed a logistic challenge because of the upcoming Israeli elections.

Bourla said in December that he has not yet received the vaccine yet because he does not want to "cut in line," and would wait until his age group is next in line for getting vaccinated. As such, he has received the first dose, but not the second one yet.

Pfizer did not respond to The Jerusalem Post's request for comment.

"We continue to be interested in visiting Israel and meeting with decision-makers," a Pfizer spokesperson told N12. "The visit to Israel will probably be scheduled toward the end of spring."

The Achrayut Leumit (national responsibility) movement on Wednesday sent a letter to Bourla, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and State Comptroller and Ombudsman Matanyahu Englman, urging the Pfizer CEO to postpone the visit until after the election.

In the letter, Achrayut Leumit CEO Adv. Oshi Elmaliach, who is considered close to former prime minister Ehud Barak, wrote that "Mr. Bourla's participation in photo-op events with the prime minister may constitute aiding and abetting a prohibited election campaign and is a criminal offense."

Elmaliach added that any propaganda of this sort will be met with an appeal to Ombudsman Englman, to the Central Elections Committee and if necessary, to the Israel Police for violation of election propaganda laws.

Netanyahu said last week that the purpose of Bourla's visit was to hold discussions about establishing a Pfizer vaccine manufacturing site in Israel.

Afraid to take the 2nd dose of your own vaccine? :thinking:

"cut in line"

That makes no sense. You already got the first dose before a great number of people did. If a vaccine requires a second dose as a booster then postponing shot number 2 risks fucking the whole thing up.

Yeah ok it's likely just a flimsy excuse to avoid jeopardizing a political campaign.

I’ve Never Seen Anything Like This’: Chaos Strikes Global Shipping​

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/06/business/global-shipping.html (https://archive.vn/F0vOh)
Excerpt:
Around the planet, the pandemic has disrupted trade to an extraordinary degree, driving up the cost of shipping goods and adding a fresh challenge to the global economic recovery. The virus has thrown off the choreography of moving cargo from one continent to another.

At the center of the storm is the shipping container, the workhorse of globalization.
