Before the Coronavirus Pandemic, Overlooked Clues From Chinese Scientists

NOT behind the paywall.

This can't be true.

WASN'T IT MADE IN A LAB AND COVERED UP BY CHINESE SCIENTISTS WHO WASHED IT FROM ALL THE DATABASES???

Or...

I guess maybe it wasn't.

Of course it’s political. Covidiots still deny that the virus exists. My daughter works at a McDonald’s, is immune suppressed and wears a mask. A manager got on her case just a few days ago about masking, telling her there was no such virus and to not wear a mask. Fortunately, another manager overruled the first one.

At one of the McDonald's near me, I see a couple employees are still maskedup.

A very few people at Safeway are maskedup, and every now and then I see an employee wearing.

On our flight last Sunday, one flight attendant was masked & gloved.

My wife masked up after seemingly the entire waiting area at the airport was coughing. She is the only one in the family that hasn't had the pleasure of C-19 yet.

I have two reactions when I see someone masked at this point
(1) they are sick themselves - thank you for trying to prevent the spread of germs
(2) they have a condition that causes them to fear getting sick - in which case I feel guilty for not taking protective measures myself - and I want to apologize that they have to live in a society that won't collectively take these measures to protect them

And may covid not adversely affect her more than a cold or flu bout should she eventually get it. We have a family member who had a cough for a couple weeks at the start of the pandemic BEFORE everything shut down; and who hasn't tested positive for covid at any point. Our thinking now is that this family member is just one of the lucky ones - 2 out of 5 or so? - who is just asymptomatic and essentially unaffected by contracting the virus.
