There's ~zero doubt that pigs can't fly. But the length of immunity after recovery from COVID-19 is clearly an open question. If for no other reason than having just several months of data. And we won't likely have a useful answer until 2022. >> If that's the case, it could be a fuckload worse >> than another kind of flu.

It's not a type of influenza. The common cold is generally caused coronaviruses and rhinoviruses. So if anything, COVID-19 is basically a bad cold ;) >>> And even if that were the case, it's just how the natural world works. >>> There are ups and downs. >> >> I do agree with that.

However, it's likely that some populations are more susceptible than others, so it's not as extreme as bananas (clones) or even typical agricultural crops. > although no doubt govcorp is working hard on making everbody a mass produced > robot.

Again, it's not influenza. And about overpopulation, many do think that we're close to the breaking point. But whatever, it's pointless to argue about it on this list. >> And there's no >> reason to think that there won't be more. The rate of zoonotic disease >> outbreaks has increased about five fold in recent decades. > > ...yeah the subhuman chinese eat raw bats =) Indeed, that's one aspect. SARS and COVID-19 came from Chinese eating bats. Ebola came from Africans eating bushmeat: bats (ebola) and nonhuman primates (HIV). MERS came from camels in Saudi Arabia, and perhaps originally from bats. So yeah, gotta watch out for bats. >>> exactly like the always since there living things appeared on earth. >>> Old and sick people die. Of anything.

I am a hardcore materialist, and I do consider the scientific method to be the best approach for understanding stuff. I'd rather be a god than worship one (or a goddess).

That's for sure a serious issue. But that's about physicians, and they are not at all scientists. They're more like witch doctors.
