Lol
Its more likely the threat of a recall election spooked this
Where will he get his milions of $ in contributions if he gets recalled?
The real loser with a recall is the State, tbh, having to spend money on an election in the middle of a pandemic.
It's becoming a common cold. Once it burns through the population the rate of mutation will slow. Then a new strain every 3-8 years like the other HCoV's.
Not all. There's more to immunity than antibodies. Reinfections will have successively reduced disease and mortality. Vaccinations will take the place of the first infection imo. I believe that's true even for the e only vaccines although a live attenuated vaccine would be better. Not a big deal since they can tweak the mRNA vaccine so easily we (not you) can just get a boost with the updated mRNA vaccines.
Hope so
But the South African strain is said to cause more severe symptoms among those who got the original covid 19
Makes sense some colds are stronger than others.
Well whatever happens we will adapt to this virus. Some will by surviving infection, others will by removing themselves from the gene pool.
Never really been in doubt.
The only thing we need to concern ourselves with is not overwhelming the health care system and causing unnecessary deaths from full ERs when you go in with a broken arm or heart attack.
As has been pointed out repeatedly.
Shrugging ones shoulders at the cost is one thing, but running the risk of needless death by sheer negligence is quite another.
But hey, negligence and incompetence seems to be the only thing that the modern conservative movement seems to stand for these days.
violence and dishonesty breed incompetence.
Manaus is a bloodbath. They thought they had achieved herd immunity as they tested 66% with antibodies. But then the new strain developed. RIP Manaus
Brazil finally fed up with Bolsohitler
Both left and right wings had protests to oust him
Good riddance
hater continues masturbating to covid while constantly talking down on vaccines

New mutations raise specter of ‘immune escape’
When the number of COVID-19 cases began to rise again in Manaus, Brazil, in December 2020, Nuno Faria was stunned. The virologist at Imperial College London had just co-authored a paper in Science estimating that three-quarters of the city's inhabitants had already been infected with SARS-CoV-2, the pandemic coronavirus—more than enough, it seemed, for herd immunity to develop. The virus should be done with Manaus. Yet hospitals were filling up again. “It was hard to reconcile these two things,” Faria says. He started to hunt for samples he could sequence to find out whether changes in the virus could explain the resurgence.

Some scientists worry that proposed changes in vaccine dosing regimens could hasten the evolution of such strains. Desperate to tame a massive surge in cases, the United Kingdom on 30 December decided to allow up to 12 weeks between the first and second dose of two authorized vaccines, rather than the 3 or 4 weeks used in the vaccines' clinical trials, so more people can get their first dose quickly and have at least some immunity. And the Trump administration decided to ship all available doses immediately, rather than holding back 50% to guarantee that people receive their second doses on time. That policy, which the Biden administration has said it will follow, could inadvertently extend the dosing interval if future vaccine deliveries don't arrive or aren't administered on time.
Widespread delays of the second dose might create a pool of millions of people with enough antibodies to slow the virus and avoid getting sick, but not enough to wipe it out. That could well be the perfect recipe for creating vaccine-resistant strains, says virologist Florian Krammer of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai: “If we end up with everybody just getting one dose with no doses available for a timely boost, that would in my opinion, be a problem.”
If vaccine-resistant SARS-CoV-2 strains emerge, vaccines might need to be updated. Several vaccines could be easily changed to reflect the latest changes, but regulators might balk at authorizing them without seeing updated safety and efficacy data, Krause says. If new variants circulate alongside older strains, multivalent vaccines, effective against several lineages, might even be needed. “To be clear: These are downstream considerations,” Krause says
I hope other people are paying attention too. How many times do we have to watch this movie?
After the initial outbreak pandemics generally last what, about three years?
Where do you get that from?
admire the gumption
PFA, honestly. May have read or overheard it somewhere.
The 1918 flu lasted about three years before it pooted itself out, no?
Its not 1918, thankfully
Pro-Trump areas are undercounting COVID-19 deaths, new study suggests, by a lot
a very distinct correlation between areas with pro-Trump leanings and very high “excess deaths.”
The reasons for this are many and the correlation between COVID-19 denialism extending to death certificates is not simply the result of someone denying someone else died of the disease,
it’s the result of a systematic denialism in these areas.
And while researchers know that many of these deaths can be attributed to suicide and drug overdoses, hesitancy to get medical attention, and other possibly pandemic-related factors, they also believe that
many of these deaths are very likely to be the direct result of COVID-19. rural areas had much higher “excess deaths” recorded than urban ones and the same was true when comparing pro-Trump voting areas to non-Trump areas
To be clear, lower income areas also had higher excess deaths, and many of those areas don’t vote for Trump.
the difference between
“44 excess deaths that weren’t officially recognized as Covid-19 for every 100 official Covid-19 deaths,”
versus
“25% of counties with the most Trump voters in 2020,
with 163 excess deaths for every 100 Covid-19 deaths.”

2020-1 US gross mortality will approach and may exceed 1918-9 tbh.
We'll all be vaccinated in what, 1-2 years?
