We "escaped" every other pandemic by having wave after wave of death leaving the survivors to pick up the pieces. The Black Death killed roughly half of the population of Europe.
Small pox and other old world diseases killed at estimated 90% (or more!) of the pre-Columbian population of the Americas.
Besides even in history they didn't have the germ theory of disease but still knew that it was important to quarantine during plague outbreaks.

Let’s be realistic about the politics of it as well. China always wants to assert sovereignty (same as USA or even ourselves) , to go a long with attempting to display an air of competence, as well as being embroiled in international pissing matches with governments like Canada et al. at the time (and through the present).
No one would put it past China to have exercised a cover up but its actually a simpler explanation to just say China continued its pattern of behaviour “piss off, we’ll handle our own business” across all areas and jurisdictions including public health when their political officials are probably not well versed on global pandemics— much like our right wing hardliners except their officials have more power and can act more decisively. When they decide on a course of action, it will be executed and they won’t usually have to worry about legal consequences. So the “cover up” is probably limited to the PR realm. Of course no one can rule out other scenarios at this time but there is always an outside chance in any situation that.. it was aliens.
That makes roughly zero sense and is likely false.I heard the virus may have mutated all it can if that makes sense.
So that's some good news if true. Less of a chance that this will become an ongoing thing-- at least for this particular virus.
Of course the existential can of worms is still there and stinking up the place.
You'd be shocked how much I know about this.
exactly, and they are suffering during lockdownsAnyone posting in this thread knows at least one person suffering from mental health issues.
No, but calling those people out has been deemed 'cluttering the thread' so no productive discussion will occur. It's not worth the time and/or energy to try to fight the significant volumes of misinformation here anymore.I pretty much agree with this. I also hope we're not at a place in this thread of taking for granted that Covid was created in a lab.

It's biologically impossible for mutations to stop, but not all mutations will be material. A replication error can cause some base pair changes that don't affect the virus at all, but it's still considered a mutation.I don't know the source.
It makes some sense though....its not like it can mutate itself a lazer cannon.
Is there a limit to how much the coronavirus can mutate? | Live Science
In conclusion I am sticking with my original claim.
I pretty much agree with this. I also hope we're not at a place in this thread of taking for granted that Covid was created in a lab.
That makes roughly zero sense and is likely false.
and have been made worse by keeping people in their homes with no outletIndeed. I used the word minimize, not eliminate. Unfortunately mental health concerns were a thing before covid19 as well.
by whom?It's pretty well established that the likelyhood of it being created in a lab is extraordinarily low. Many of us that post in this thread know this but are no longer bothering to try and convince those who have decided otherwise.
and have been made worse by keeping people in their homes with no outlet
again...how is lockdowns "minimizing suffering" if it's actually making it worse for some people?I used the word minimize, not eliminate.

Which Pandemics did we "escape" in the past? Mind citing some for reference?

How they flattened the curve during the 1918 Spanish FluComparing covid to the black death or small pox is ridiculous. 50% of people arent dying from covid. In saying that humanity survived those diseases.
With regards to quarantine, name me a pandemic where we quarantined asymptomatic people? This is a criminal offense being used under the pretext that these people are a danger to society, which the government has yet to prove, and the science doesnt support.
I think the pubs should hold their own religious ceremonies from 3 pm til midnight daily to get in the game. They certainly have no shortage of communion wine.
