SARS-CoV-2: Electric Superflu

A shimmer of bright light.

Because my wife and I are both WFH indefinitely, we’re able to begin fostering beagle rescues for a local shelter while they await adoption. The shelter has 14 dogs arriving tomorrow from a MA pharmaceutical testing lab.

We get our first foster on Friday. Our dog is going to be so happy. Double the beagles, double the arooooos.

Double the beagles 10x the arooos in my experience.

They have a ton of health anxiety in general, but specifically in the area of the brain. Like, they’re always worried they’re having a stroke. They’ve seen Contagion and even said “At least this doesn’t get in the brain like in Contagion, now THAT would put me over the edge.”

Well what do ‘flu’, ‘cholera’ and ‘dysentery’ mean?

I agree. I’m just saying MAGA is starting to come to terms w/ the virus being real. They will of course always support OUR PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP.

They fully tested 3600 people in a small town in Italy. Did this twice and found numerous asymptomatic carriers.

This absolutely reinforces the approach.

Test. Trace. Isolate.

How does this one work?

Don’t Test. Keep Down Numbers. Claim Victory.

COVID-19 just isn’t a very descriptive name. “Influenza”, “cholera”, and “dysentery” have etymologies stemming from either their perceived causes or symptoms.

lol that’s got jack to do with common usage and I’m literally one to know.

Etymologies have something to do with when they first became used commonly.

The history books may call it COVID-19, but that doesn’t mean it will be universally used in the short-term.

boomers: climate change isn’t real, and if it is it won’t affect me

also boomers: the younger generations need to make extraordinary sacrifices to save us from a disease that doesn’t pose a significant threat to them

Obviously people are in fact calling it ‘China virus’, I’m just saying they’re not calling it that because it means anything in particular more than ‘COVID’ or ‘coronavirus’. ‘SARS’ isn’t exactly brimful of meaning, was that ever ‘China virus’? Is it ‘China virus’ anywhere outside USA?

It’s going to be incredible when Trump is a super spreader.

People are also lazy. SARS has the benefit of being one syllable. It’s short. It spells like it sounds.

‘Covid’ is two syllables while ‘China virus’ is four, you’re kinda not making sense here tbh. It doesn’t matter.

99% chance Trump tweets something like: WOW, 100% approval of the job “Trump” is doing against the Chinese virus! 75% of Patriots say it’s great or superb. Thank you, working hard! MAGA/KAG @loudobbs
