Do you guys even read what you are actually posting? This is a study done on how the original covid started pointing to evidence of it starting from bats.
So, someone needs to explain to our taoiseach that there's a COVID 25 without any numbers between it. And I feel like this person has a difficult task in front of them.
The latest discovery is a new lineage of the HKU5 coronavirus first identified in the Japanese pipistrelle bat in Hong Kong. The new virus comes from the merbecovirus subgenus, which also includes the virus that causes Middle East respiratory syndrome (Mers).
Nope - it just means that he once again has set up the perfect storm by eliminating every person or agency that help. We don’t have Fauci / we have JFK Jr. - fabulous. Plus they all have Walter Reed Hospital if they get a boo boo on our dime.
I understand this is said in the spirit of dark humor, but do all the other creatures of the Earth deserve to die because humans are a hot mess? Maybe some sort of pandemic that targets the soulless, greedy, d-heads among us?
Sure, nature will reinvent itself, but do giraffes, elephants, polar bears, monarch butterflies, tigers, hummingbirds, whales, etc., deserve to go extinct because humans suck? They won't survive an asteroid strike.
if the astroid hits, it's not a matter of anybody deserving anything. an asteroid hitting us is just another eventually when we live on a planet in space.
that said humans wishing for it is less "the planet deserves to die" and more passive suicidal ideation.
While this isn't the most important example of this issue - I think you're pointing out a very real, massive blind spot that leftist politics has which is animal rights. Too many leftists are radical humanists who only care about humans and only care about the environment to the degree it hurts them
Sometimes dark humour is just dark humour and someone's last resort way of coping. If you need nuance you can make your own post about it. I hope this isn't too blunt.
Dark indeed, if only the wicked suffered but alas in the last 3 years I've lost my mother, my best friend, my brother and my dog (the last 2 in the last 2 mos). My thoughts and prayers don't amount to much. No deity will act upon my comment guaranteed.
Trust me, I get it. Went to a reiki practitioner for the very first (only) time a few years back, had never met or spoken with her before at all, and afterward she said all she got from me (my energy) was "loss". I imagine this is where my instinct to avoid unnecessary suffering comes from.
Please don't spread false panic. The paper you cite is about how Covid-19 spread, confirming the early theory it was from bats. There's nothing in it about a new strain.

it's us that will not survive.
