No.429
So with the protests and everyone going out gathering in large groups, is corona basically just dead now?
No.430
>>429seemingly, case numbers about the same, but deaths down. There was a prototype treatment that came out which probably stopped it.. `experts` say resurgence in fall.
Though looking it up it seems as if supply and demand can't keep up

>>430Hm, will it not be possible for more places to manufacture the drug to spring up in light of this new profit opportunity?
No.489
>>488That's a bit of an optimistic outlook... You're forgetting all of the global trade politics that go into this, especially because most of the western world has outsourced it's pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity as well. In other words, because China and India control the global stock of pharmaceuticals, they have the leverage to stop their exports for the sake of their own population whereas net importers don't have that luxury.
No.490
>>489I agree it's a bit optimistic, but it'd make one hell of an opportunity to promote local manufacturing, would it not? The demand is there, but the supply can't keep up.
No.491
>>490I would like that to be the case, but the problem is that to bring back domestic manufacturing, you cannot just build a new factory. You need to also rebuild the entire supply chain. For instance, assuming you can build said new factory, for it to actually produce things domestically
properly you also require the auxillary chemical processing plants that such a factory would source from. In other words, the only way for corporations to quickly begin domestic manufacturing would be to setup a vertically integrated supy chain rather than waiting on local industry to repopulate again. Not only would that cost a lot, but it would take a considerable amount of time as well.
No.492
>>491Of course it wouldn't be easy, but with people in government seeing keeping all manufacturing in China as a bigger threat I don't think it's all too unlikely to see a push for reinstating such supply chains. I don't expect it to come back overnight, but I don't think that it's an impossibility. It'd be even more likely if the government were to supply them with funds to rebuild the supply chain, but maybe that would be what makes it impossible since it would require sorting through all sorts of political garbage before they actually would get something done.

its not as bad as i thought it was going to be, but it does still suck. for example i can't taste the cheese on pizza at all, i can pretty much only taste the tomato sauce, and my toothpaste tastes like black licorice now instead of mint. also, when i try to sleep i wake up every few hours feeling like my lungs are tiny and like i have to catch my breath. it's more annoying than anything else but i guess every case is different though. it feels more like a cold with weirder side effects rather than a flu, at least for me. reading this

No.562
>>558I wouldn't say you're all that lucky, if you're not old or have a pre-existing condition that is. Most I've known with it were asymptomatic, only knew a couple people that actually had symptoms like what you're describing (Although both curiously had asthma as well before contracting it, so that's possibly a trigger).

Got the All-in-one vaccine today. Glad it's out of the way, but gotta say it's a pretty painful shot. Not sure whether it's more or less painful than Tetanus

hypothetically, how would you forge one of the many vaccine passports (that are likely never to be used and just a way for companies to soak up more tax dollars)?

So I figured I'd install it anyways so I downloaded .apk files for the scanner and wallet app.
I'm not certain because I have no real experience with app development or an example of a valid pass, but it seems like it scans and decodes a code without making any internet requests. So decoding it is as trivial as making a valid code and perhaps decompiling the app to find the key code.
No.803
Bleh. Well, someone will fix it eventually, maybe.

I'm not convinced it's a real thing. More like an honor system.
No.975
Seems like after over a year lockdown is nearly over. In my state the governor recently lifted the mask requirement while outdoors and going to the konbini things look like they did before the pandemic started. Also what's up with India? It seems like they're on the path to becoming the No.1 covid hotspot of all time.
No.976
India has a new variant that seems like it's the worst yet. From what I read the projected time that the country can complete enough vaccinations at current rate is three years. It's going to be a complete nightmare and it needs significant outside help not just for Indians themselves but so they don't incubate something far worse that can't be treated with current vaccines.
No.977
india mingles livestock with human population and when that happens viruses start to go crazy
No.978
What are the chances the new variant travels across the border to hit China again? Also India seemed like a terrible place for the virus in the first place due to how overcrowded it is and poor sanitation/living conditions.
No.984
It appears the Wuhan lab leak theory is holding more weight now I guess lobbying and media suppression has its limit before it starts to crumble down.
No.987
>>984As is ever the pattern, the previous administration really made it worse when it removed a group from China that was there to study diseases and monitor things as a part of the US's pandemic team which itself was wholly disbanded.
It still doesn't have any weight to it without investigation and evidence, but if senators want it investigated now it makes sense since we're slowly entering a time when the country is recovering.
No.994
>>984Having read a bit into this resurgence for the theory, it seems the most likely cause for why it was so attacked was a combination of bad and reactionary journalism mixed with social media bringing out the worst in humanity. Hopefully it servers as a wake-up call to journalists to be less sensational and sure of themselves, but who knows.

>>1025crazy. I got a ton of vaccines for traveling to a third world country and coincidentally I post on imageboards.
I'm thinking this is too convinient to explain by anything other than vaccine autism.
No.1034
Thought:
The prevalent association between autism and vaccination, if anything, could be a result of the fact that autistic people have a much greater incidence of childhood mortality. Therefore, because vaccines prevent severe illness and death, an increasing number of autistic people survive childhood that would have otherwise died had they not been vaccinated, not because the vaccines themselves cause autism.
Likewise, the increased prevalence of autism may be a result of Western women on average having children later in life, and may further be affected by the falling fertility rates in industrialized countries due to Phthalate (plastic chemical) contamination in drinking water and food. Another factor may be the widespread use of insecticide products such as Roundup which are known carcinogens and are extremely toxic. Of course, there is a myriad of chemical contamination, so to single out any one chemical as being a definitive cause is quite difficult to say the least, and may in fact be related to the interaction between multiple chemical contamination not just a single one.
These are important questions, so its a shame that the entire topic has been tarnished by conspiracy-minded people thinking vaccines cause autism.
