#COVID-19/Pandemics

Pardon Me, However This Is Bullshit Matt Taibbi. On a pardon for Fauci.

Unknown illness kills 143 in southwest Congo, native authorities say Reuters (Paul R). Our GM was already throughout this. His message a full day earlier than based mostly on earlier accounts:

This appears doubtlessly extraordinarily dangerous.

Hopefully it’s some micro organism that doesn’t unfold effectively, however whether it is an effectively spreading respiratory virus, particularly whether it is “blessed” with an asymptomatic transmission interval, we’re fully screwed within the post-COVID post-public well being world.

It has been ~40 days because the first instances. That’s greater than sufficient time to do the sequencing and evaluation, even within the DRC.

In the meantime it’s probably already spreading past that speedy space, and as soon as it will get to Kinshasa, which is sadly fairly shut geographically, you may overlook about containing it whether it is environment friendly at H2H unfold…
