#1 The more I find out about that virus, the more I become convinced that the Chinese bio-engineers who built it are geniuses.

#2 With a population of roughly 1.3 billion, I suppose China can come up with a couple of bright bio-engineers. I wonder how Fauci got their names, though.

#4 A bit out of the box, but I can't help wondering if all of this great research and development could eventually lead to a cancer vaccine ?

#5 ^Yes. Covid crisis will lead to increased funds for research - in particular, due to the failure of covid vaccines to induce long-term immune memory - to research into immune memory. Pure research always pays off.

#6 Eg. My RN Sister-in-law tested positive for C-19 3 weeks ago. After 4 follow-up tests she still tests positive WITHOUT any symptoms since day 3?

Her work allowed her to return on Admin Duty without any Patient related contacts.

Wondering Out Loud
Could this be causing some part of the 18% to 24% False Positive test results that have been noted nationally.

Using their Global numbers....

Globally it has a .09 of 1 % global infection rate.
and with a 2.27% Mortality IF INFECTED.

Global Odds of dying from C-19 are:
1,599,704 / 7,800,000,000 or 0.020509 of 1%

Now think about the 3rd and 4th world countries it was in with next to no Medical industry.

#8 So pretty much the governments' response to their own people during the 'crisis'

Good thing we have CosPlay and Lies, or we'd be fugggd.
