It's endemic now, not pandemic, right.

No one has declared the pandemic over, iirc, just that the "public health emergency related to COVID-19" is over. But yeah, endemic is a better word to use now.

More reasons why you're racist and transphobic.

My favorite part is when he puts trans people into the disabled bucket. How many victims can one person be?

Too many to count.

Most of the time I just have it on in the background while playing games or something. The benefit of not really caring about sports other than football is I can watch a lot of movies outside football season.

Saw in theaters. First DVD I ever bought. First BluRay I ever bought.

If I'm looking for background noise, and I see it while flipping, I've never not stopped.

More background supporting lab leak theory
In March 2018 a team of American and Chinese virologists applied to the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, known as Darpa, seeking a $14 million grant to manipulate viruses related to SARS-CoV-1, the bat virus that caused a minor epidemic in 2002. Their goal was to identify bat viruses in Asia with the highest potential for jumping to people and to immunize bats so they wouldn’t infect soldiers in the region.
...
Mr. Daszak intended for much or most of the work to be done in Ms. Shi’s laboratory, despite giving a different impression to Darpa. He writes in the recently discovered documents that “I do want to stress the US side of this proposal so that DARPA are comfortable with our team. Once we get the funds, we can then allocate who does what exact work, and I believe that a lot of these assays can be done in Wuhan.”
Ms. Shi did most of her work with SARS-type viruses in the minimal-containment condition known as BSL2, whereas Mr. Baric, who regarded the viruses as seriously dangerous, worked in a more secure lab known as BSL3. Mr. Daszak noted that the lower-security labs would save money: “The BSL-2 nature of work on SARSr-CoVs makes our system highly cost-effective relative to other bat-virus systems.” Mr. Baric replied to this comment that the viruses might be grown under BSL2 safety conditions in China, but “US researchers will likely freak out.”
...
One piece is missing from the puzzle—the identity of the parent viruses from which SARS-CoV-2 was derived. The Chinese authorities have rigorously suppressed all information about the viruses being kept in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Remember when "created in a Chinese lab" was a conspiracy theory and mocked by the MSM?

Trump was a buffoon for saying "The Chinese Virus."

Not Covid, but a bacterial infection. We've been getting warned for some time that the overuse of antibacterial stuff was making bacteria more resistant and stronger. Well, here we are.

STSS killing at a 30% rate in Japan.

That's in folks under 50.
