As always, I shall be buying the dip.
These strains will become less and less deadly.
I’m more concerned that world governments now have a seemingly bottomless pit of boogeymen to draw upon as they usurp more and more of our rights.

"If Covid gets worse and worse, it may be time to consider viral gain of function to create a new variant that is weak and can't mutate- but is made to be more infectious so it becomes the dominant strain."
Almost like a real vaccine spreading on it's own?

Building more COVID hospital is a great idea…in countries where the first thought doesn’t always lean towards corruption.
Here’s something I experienced last year.
A pal of one of the ANC higher-ups got nominated to build a 200 bed field hospital. This, despite him being 20% more expensive and never having done any construction or ever having owned or been part of a construction company.
The hospital was meant to be completed by March last year.
Inevitably he chucked together a group of his pals, put them in charge of different parts of building the hospital and skimmed money since day one. All these guys turn up to site in the best of the best luxury cars too.
The result has been…
Windows where not one is parallel with the ground.
Flat walls that bend in all directions.
Electrical plugs where not a single one is in line with the one beside it.
Plumbing, lighting, and carpentry that looks like it was done by primary school kids.
…and we were asked to install all the medical gas. We did so and I swear we were the only contractors on site that understood what a right angle is.
Luckily I knew they would try to screw me so I had a backhander deal with the consultants since day one and they gave me the inside track to all the nefarious goings on.
I delivered a shipping container to site with all our materials, pumps and compression equipment locked and welded shut inside it. I then claimed 90% of the contract value before we would lift a tool.
In an attempt to wrench some money back from me…they actually charged me a square meter rental fee for the ground on which the container stood. Never mind the fact that they don’t own the land haha
I did this because I was warned that after we deliver we wouldn’t be paid and if we returned to pick up our stuff(worth just short of 2 million) we’d be threatened by bribed cops and local officials.
Begrudgingly they paid us our money…after many threats to the guys that work for me.
To date all our works are done but, after inspection by independent engineers, now parts of the building have to be rebuilt from the ground up with the majority of trade work also having to be started virtually from scratch.
Were the ANC “person” and his corrupt pal arrested or have either of them faced any consequences at all? Nope…the same guy got re-nominated for the works he fucked up in the first place.
You already know the outcome…it goes something like this “Eish marra…”
And what you might not want to know is that I know of many more projects like this that were funded by ANC’s R500 billion loan. A loan that will takes decades to repay.
What I would like to know is where on earth I am supposed to summon respect for the majority in this country? Everywhere you look it’s just thievery, corruption and incompetence.

I’d go one further, Moz.
The lack of planning is the second biggest problem.
The biggest problem is that one isn’t allowed to address the second biggest problem.
I maintain that that Caucasian ancestry is rooted in climates that forced planning and provisioning tendencies into the gene pool. There’s hardly a place in Western Europe where you could survive unless your community understood the value of working today to live tomorrow.
This is not a selective pressure that African ancestry ever faced to any meaningful degree. Here, fast twitch fibres and stamina were selected for because hunting small game in hot climates is what was necessary for survival. The evidence for this is quite clearly on display every four years at the Olympics.
Whites have a reputation for greed and it falls perfectly in line with a race that heavily leaned into planning and provisioning for survival. Perhaps the biggest downside to all of this is that one could argue our genetic predisposition as the root cause of what has resulted in the materialistic zeitgeist which has accompanied our “reign”. And maybe one could argue that it’s easier for us to admit this because discussing your weaknesses is always easier when you’re winning.
Still, no matter how much the west admits and openly shows remorse for, it’s not gonna solve the problem that other races have genetic predispositions too. One simply can’t be introspective on someone else’s behalf.

Moz, I’m talking overall percentages rather than saying that different races are entirely devoid of specific traits.
We’re generally not much different to each other but I do think that the small margins make a difference.
Which is why I don’t think that any issues are insurmountable, so long as they can be addressed.
