Worse than evil...

My daughters attend a Covid-safe dance class once a week. Every week, parents disclose if they or their kids have been sick, and PCR and rapid test before attending (the class is also masked and outdoors).

We absolutely CAN have nice things AND keep each other safe - as long as we stop pretending it's 2019 and ignoring how the world has dramatically changed. #CovidIsNotOver

If you ever believed for an instant that Dems were going to provide universal healthcare someday, the reality they’re choosing to end government funded COVID testing and treatment should be a big fucking clue.

It hijacks cells... there are important mechanisms that make sars2 a beast: syncytial, mutagenic, and causes mitochondrial dysfunction. Only those 3 makes it a formidable destroyer. Add to that immunity depletion, airborne, ACE2 receptors binding, microclots, and vascular damage, activation of latent viruses, and you have the whole lot of hell in one piece of proteinic mechanism.

The CSIC, the centre of research based here in Aragon (Spain), has observed direct aging of cells caused by sars2. Any tissue ages a lot after infection.

Also, it's neurotropic, neuroinvasive, and neurovirulent.

I think it's time to realize that either we stop transmission or the virus will stop humanity.
