Well, well, well…
New coronavirus with potential to cause pandemic discovered in China
Another coronavirus feared to be powerful enough to spread through humans has been discovered in China.
In scenes eerily reminiscent of the beginnings of Covid, researchers at the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology detected the new strain living within bats.
HKU5-CoV-2 is strikingly similar to the pandemic virus, sparking fears that history could repeat itself just two years after the worst was declared over.
The new virus is even closer related to MERS, a deadlier type of coronavirus that kills up to a third of people it infects.
Virologist Shi Zhengli, known as ‘Batwoman’ for her work on coronaviruses, led the discovery, published in a top scientific journal.
Tests showed HKU5-CoV-2 infiltrated human cells in the same way as SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind Covid.
Sharing their discovery in the journal Cell, the Beijing-funded researchers admitted it posed a ‘high risk of spillover to humans, either through direct transmission or facilitated by intermediate hosts.’
Like many of you, I view the first Covid-19 “pandemic” as a “plandemic”, a trial run to see how people would respond and boy oh boy, They had to love how most people responded. Covid seemed to me to be not all that deadly, lots of people “died with” Covid but not that many “died of” Covid and yet we acted like the world was coming to an end. Lots of mentally ill people are desperately hoping for another “pandemic” so they can start wearing masks in public again and scolding normal people for not social distancing.
Now along comes another Covid variant but gee Wally, this one sounds a lot more deadly. What a wild coincidence! Oh and tough break, millions upon millions of people got a jab that just might have compromised their immune system, just in time for a new variant that the “vaccine” conveniently doesn’t offer any protection against.
While I am a big believer in Cohencidence, I am not a believer in coincidence. I don’t know for sure what it means but “T-cell exhaustion and depletion” certainly doesn’t sound very good.
Is this the “Other Hand”, while we are distracted by the avian flu and high egg prices? Hmmmm….
No my friends, They are not going quietly into that good night.
In completely unrelated news, I ordered three cases of toilet paper from Sam’s Club tonight. Not joking.
I still have a good sized hoard of TP from last time around, because I had a connection at the time that I could buy case packs of good quality retail TP at a good discount. So I loaded up, and shared some of my good fortune with family and a handful of friends during the height of the shortage. Turns out, the quantity I bought has lasted far longer than I expected. It’s all good though. I may top off with a other couple of 24 packs in light of this news, it’s not like it won’t get used eventually.
Also need to do some restocking on meds like liquid ivermectin, the remaining portion I have in a bottle is getting a bit aged now, and probably past it’s use by date.
It blows my mind that these sonsabitches would try to play the very same card a second time, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. It worked pretty well for them the first time around. I think they will be facing a lot more resistance this time, even if it this strain is provably more deadly. Besides, I’d rather die than live in the world they apparently still intend to create. Fuck these guys.
Take note of the fact that the Ukraine operation is winding down. And consider that Ukraine was what effectively ended the first COVID panic, since it gave a convenient pivot for all the NPCs to focus on, and flaunt their fake ass solidarity with a hot new cause (since COVID had gotten pretty stale). I suppose they may be about to try and invert that pivot, as they always need the one big crisis dujour to keep their scams and control going. If it isn’t COVID 25, it’ll be some other big boogie man. Book it.
Re expiration dates for meds.
Pharmaceuticals have to guarantee the efficacy of a medication for a set time period. So the 1yr expiration is guaranteed. How can they guarantee that? Simple – designed to last MUCH longer. I have antibiotics that are 10 years old that used and worked fine.
VERY similar to jet aircraft turbines. The way my piots explained it to me- the turbines are designed to last 100k hours. But the manufacturers who sell them to aircraft companies state they need to be rebuilt/changed out at 25K hours. The company I flew with, cut that number in half. Bottom line – a jet turbine designed to last 100K hours was rebuilt/changed out every 12.5K hours.
Reason??? Liability
Oh, I agree that the given expiration date is not a hard cutoff in most cases, and I’ve used meds that were years past their official expiration date. I keep old prescriptions, especially things like leftover pain killers prescribed post surgery, so that if I have an emergency that demands something like an oxy or two to manage (such as a toothache on a weekend) I have it on hand.
I won’t toss my remaining liquid ivermectin (which has a July 23 exp date on it) but should probably lay in more now, before a panic breaks out. Especially since restrictions on it’s purchase have relaxed for now, and I can get it without a lot of bullshit jumping through hoops via a veterinary supplier. During the height of COVID, and the massive concerted effort to suppress the use of “vitamin I”, that got to be a difficult proposition.
BRD – I don’t have a Link handy, but did see, some Years ago, about a Study on Drug Storage and Degradation that was conducted by (I think) the Army Medical Corps. They found that almost all Drugs (prescription or not) if Stored Correctly, were close to 90% Effective after 10 Years. Batches were Tested each Year, and the Study only went for 10 Years because that’s how many Batches they put away. The most Important thing to note about this Study was “Stored Correctly” i.e. under stable Temperature/Humidity Conditions, essentially “Room Temperature” and below 30% Humidity.
I store my ‘stock’ of Antibiotics in Air-Tight Metal (mil-Spec) Aviation Parts Storage Containers, with Desiccant and Indicator ‘eyeballs’. These are kept in the Basement, which never gets above 70 F. in the Summer, nor below Freezing in the Winter.
There was a DOD study some years back that investigated the potency remaining in expired medications, year by year, over ten years. I think that the study is ongoing.
With the exception of tetracycline antibiotics, most meds (of all types) lost about 5% of potency per ten years.
The study was commissioned because the amount of meds controlled by the DOD in all of its bases, VAs etc. is mind-bogglingly formidable; not having to toss a just-expired fuck-ton of, say, Augmentin, because of some print on a label, is a multi-billion dollar savings.
And, for obvious reasons (obvious, that is, to I) we really don’t want expired meds dumped into landfills, toilets & oceans.
Regarding TP: a standard roll of TP from Costco has 425 sheets. That’s 425 separate wipes. Here’s how:
Do your business.
Fold one sheet in half, then in half again.
Remove the small center piece and save.
Insert index finger (or middle finger if preferred) through center hole, covering the knuckles.
Insert finger into rectum, rotating as needed.
Remove finger from rectum, grasping sides of TP for cleansing finger.
That little center bit of TP you removed in third step? Use it to clean under your fingernail.
My dad, who gave me the above formula, said that it was called “The Danish Wipe,” for IDK what reason.
My dad was a funny guy!
So, Sheryl Crow was right all along?
Create chaos and havoc to distract people from a real crisis. They will rally the useful idiots, and the Karen brigade to pester us. LOOK!, at the current thing, no need to look at the object in the corner over there. Focus on what we are trying to direct your attention at.
Perfect time to throw round-bales through the air and see which one breaks the camel’s back.
Can’t really see how all the spinning plates stay up this time around, everything has been done to excess. Looks like it won’t be back to the 1800’s but maybe back to Teddy Roosevelt times.
Starting to look a little Manifest Destiny around town. Local and natural will get real big real fast in backlash to fake-and-gay globohomo.
This is kind of my gut feeling as well. Even with Trump putting on a pretty good show so far, I don’t see the fundamental structural problems getting fixed to any significant degree, so much prolonged pain is still in our foreseeable future. I genuinely expect riots again once the weather gets nice, and that’s even if the economy doesn’t collapse before mid-late spring, which really isn’t that far off.
If these present low rumblings about another COVID come to any sort of seriousness, we will be so far past fucked we won’t be able to hitch a ride back to shit outta luck. There’s no way the economy can survive another body blow of that magnitude. And we still have time for the krainian kokaine klown to drop a turd in the punch bowl with the aid of his eurofaggot buddies who are still innocent on “winning” (a sentiment so ridiculous it deserves no discussion.
Without thousands of indictments/trials/sentencing/punishment none of this truly goes away. It will merely burrow deeper, creeping under the skin of the Nation like Norwegian scabies.
The Heads of our traitorous intel agencies need their neck-stretching at Gitmo.
Its like when the third time you’ve given your cousin a sum of money for so the kids can eat, and yet again, somehow, the muggers knew HE was the guy to jump in the parking lot at the convenience store and now he’s on the pay phone asking for money yet again. Peter Hotez’ words are ringing unequivocally threatening and prophetic in the “new round of, sooo-rrreee, CoVid (TM).
I would like to find a way to slam the fake-and-ghey, treasonous, milque-toast Mike “Make Central Banks Great Again” Johnson and drag him through the mud in this rant, but I can’t really think of anything contextual or relevant so far so I will sit down now.
Peter Hotez, you say? That snivelling, bowtied and bespectacled little jew bastard has about the most punchable face I’ve seen in the last 5 years. And that’s quite an accomplishment in a large field of those qualified to take the title.
Even with the likes of Adam Schiff, Michael Bennet, Marc Kelly, anyone at CNN chick or dude, Adam Kinsinger and Jamie Ratskin walking amongst us, Hotez still wins the prize.
Absolutely. The fact he was an integral part of the COVID scam of suppressing treatments that worked and taking such an arrogant “we are the experts, no one dares question us” attitude further seals the deal. I’m not joking when I say just seeing that smarmy little prick makes me want to beat his ass with a spiked baseball bat.
You’re waaaay too gentle!
T-cells? What about the schmuck who’s testicles are full of nothing but spike proteins? Zero sperm count. Yeah yeah, out of the gene pool but dayum.
They’re trying to kill you. You do realize that, right?
It’s exactly the alleged mechanism for AIDS.
Fool people once, shame on you. Fool people twice, get shot in the face.
FAFO MFs.
Thumbs up.
There was a mean trick that guys would pull on some unsuspecting noob at the job site. They’d tell the noob that they had to measure his arm reach for whatever reason and have noob hold his arm straight out in front of him. A heavy 25 foot measuring tape was extended from his shoulder, and when the heavy end was pulled back to his wrist, the measurer would “accidentally” drop it. Following the natural arc and proper length, it would swing down and smack the noob square in the balls. Measurement man would apologize profusely and set up to remeasure, at which point he would “accidentally” lose grip again. This would go on until the noob finally figured out that he was being played. I personally witnessed a guy fall for this four times in a row.
Don’t be that guy.
At some point these people playing with viruses have to be subjected to Rule 308
I have always kept extras, even before covid. We didn’t run out of toilet paper, although supplies did get low at one point. I now have ONE bathroom instead of three, and minimal storage space. I maintain about a dozen TP multipacks on the top of my metal food shelving units, and just don’t touch them but buy new as needed. I suppose even unopened toilet paper degrades after a while, but it’s out of the sun and climate controlled. Now what I really go through are paper towels. The ladies who brag they use old dish towels have never managed to convince me it’s more economical to use a towel to wipe grease from a broiler pan or wipe food from dirty dishes (we have a septic system and no garbage disposal) and then washing and drying the towel, rather than using paper.
The term ‘cosplay’ refers to players wearing costumes based on their favorite cartoon characters.

I wonder if a great many of those wearing a mask (aka ‘face-mask’) are cosplaying as hypochondriacs…
.
Of course, simultaneously wearing two stacked masks (aka ‘face-masks’) of different colors?
A half-wit cosplaying as LeaderOfTheFreeWorld® — Glorious Leader j. robinette biden — did it.
That precious image ought to be cherished in our memories for all time.
Just get a bidet…cleaner and better for the hemorrhoids. I use one have been for years. If there is no TP, Get 200 work clothes for like $10 use them to dry your ass, then wash em. Same as using natural diapers. Its what i did during covid when i couldnt get TP. Or just shit, jump in the shower and hose off your stink hole then use some diluted bleach water to disinfect the drain. TP is the least of my worries. I wanna know if there is gonna be a beer shortage.
I don’t think people will fall for it this time. I hope. Okay, the lefties will.
