The 2003 war was preceded by about a decade of harsh sanctions and intermittent missle strikes.

The US regime is pro-eugenics. RFKjr furthers the cause.

Even when some place manages to get them crispy they turn out bullshit. It's an amazingly shitty design for a fry. Stubbornly perpetuated by people who invested in crinkle-cut fry cutter machines and don't want to take a loss on investment. One of humanity's greatest food mistakes.

I've never had a good crinkle cut fry.

I wish I was surprised, but no one seems to want to acknowledge that the virus causes brain damage. With unvaccinated kids getting the worst of it.

It's kind of baffling to me that people attribute remote learning the cause of everything. Like, it wasn't ideal, and outright sucked depending on where you lived, but not learning a lot for six months doesn't cause permanent damage. Every school year is made up of kids of different age ranges, it's not like if a child hasn't learned a certain math level by the time they are 145 months old they are fucked forever. It's also not going to destroy their attention span or ability to focus. A virus that crosses the blood-brain barrier can cause those problems. So will having your family ravaged or killed by disease.

I know covid isn't the sole cause of problems today, but it's the elephant in the room.

The problem is that covid can infect places that are hard for our immune systems to clear, like the gut, and there are theories that a lot of long covid cases come from persistent infections, The frequency of reinfections doesn't help, either. China, I believe, has started treated people with drugs used to treat HIV for this reason. In the rules based international community

A lot of the new variants that show up are believed to derive from long term infections, particularly people with suppressed immune systems, where the virus can spend months mutating.

Yeah, between how infectious covid is, how many new variants have been showing up, and how short immunity lasts (6 months give or take), there is no real seasonality with covid. Generally it drops off in spring because everyone spreads it to everyone else in winter, and then varies wildly the rest of the year.

And it can negatively effect the immune system for a while, so it opens people up to worse infections from other diseases, along with opportunistic bacterial and fungal infections. We just had one of the worse flu seasons in 15 years, and one of the worse whooping cough outbreaks since the 50s. The news has been reporting this stuff, but you have to look for it. I don't think it penetrates most peoples algorithm bubble by default.

I'm not sure how it is for sports people, but for entertainers the insurance they have to cover missed gigs stopped covering covid cancellations, so they never say why certain concerts or whatever have to be cancelled anymore. It's always flu or generic repiratory illness.

Celebrities drop out of the spotlight all the time, and the news doesn't really cover covid infections anymore, but there is a lot of "I'm still recovering from that nasty cold two months ago" news tidbits or social media posts every now and then. For athletes I hear news about how someone is struggling since they got a "not covid" repiratory illness. Since a lot of the news doesn't report any confirmed covid infections anymore it's kind of up to you to infer when they are still having trouble months later, and ultimately it could be something else, there is no way to say definitively.

Before the vaccine the chance of getting long covid was 10-20%, and after vaccines that went down to about 4% per infection so it's less common in recent years. However the risk doesn't seem to be dropping any further but it's very hard to tell. There is some theories and evidence that between the numerous vaccines and infecitons, our bodies are getting better at fighting off the various new strains of it, but I don't think we'll have a clear picture of the new normal for a long time. Specifically because almost no one gives a shit anymore. They don't test, doctors don't care, and if people get long covid, and don't understand what long covid is, they chalk it up to something else like "shit just happens for no reason" or "aging". Meanwhile the disability rate continues to climb. In the last 6 months or so the rate of covid has been relatively low due to lack of new variants popping up, but that just changed and we can expect a new signicant wave for summer.

They're gonna let 'er rip. stock up on well-fitting n95s.

We need to rebrand socialism and communism to turbo-capitalism and ultra-capitalism++

I remember people saying it felt like they swallowed broken glass when the omicron+ variants emerged, but it is strange how different people's experiences can be with this damn virus.

It's already in Europe, along with a different variant that's starting to spread in NY. "razor blade-throat" is just covid doing what covid has done several years. The reporting isn't technically untrue, just sensationalized and bad.

There are two new variants that have shown up and have the potential to start new covid waves. This one in China, and another one in NY, both are growing at about the same rate. Europe has both variants growing at about the same rate.

Expect a new wave to start showing up in the US in the next few weeks.

There's been relatively low rates of covid since the beginning of the year, but it looks like that's over.

JPWeiland has been pretty accurate in forecasting and monitoring what's been going on with regards to covid waves, if you want more detail. https://bsky.app/profile/jpweiland.bsky.social

It's what you can expect from someone who got really good grades.

It's real. I saw a BBC documentary where they toured a detainment facility. It looked like a vocational school where people went home on the weekends, but eerie music would play over all the footage so it was obviously up to no good.

I am curious about how they are going to make dying to the final boss fifty times dramatically interesting
