    Polio is spread by turd particles so it’s actually feasible to eradicate it, that’s not really the case for covid or the flu. Our chance was to just lock down for a month or two back in Feb 2020 and we fucked it.

      There’s some evidence that the virus was present in Europe months before it was first identified as a novel virus in China, Dec 1019 (some blood samples and wastewater samples) - by the time we realised what we were dealing with it was probably already too late tbh.

      I am not normally one to engage in conspiracy theory, but if there is one I believe in 100% it’s that covid originated in USA.
