HKU5-CoV-2 was found by a Chinese research team led by virologist Shi Zhengli, known as "Batwoman" for her work on coronaviruses, especially at the Wuhan Institute, which has been at the center of the theory suggesting COVID-19 came from a lab leakβsomething Shi has denied.
Is this an Onion article?
Yeah sure why not
At this point, I welcome it.
Excuse to stay indoors and lose my sleep wake cycle? Sure. Last one was spent on PoE. Now 2 is out.. Timely..
Yeah, RFK was already sworn in, so we are ready /s
i'm always behind on trends. haven't had the last one yet.
RFK will start importing them.
He'll bite the head off like Ozzy Osbourne. Most metal politician. I hate life.
Raw bat milk mmmm
Like the last one that came from a bat?
Yes the last one came from bats (COVID), and the one before that (MERS), and the one before that (SARS)
Those pesky bats near the Wuhan lab of virology which is researching Corona Viruses again!
Most major Chinese cities have coronavirus labs ('member the SARS epidemic?) and epidemics usually become first noticeable in major cities.
Yes I member the lab which developed Covid19. Same lab as mentioned here.
If you had an area prone to viruses in bats, wouldn't it be easier to build a research lab near there, rather than far away? If that's what ypu are researching?
You'll notice McMurdo is in Antarctica
preventable fatalities!
Can we have a virus that only affect those that don't believe in the virus? π€
Unfortunately the last one mainly affected those that were actually considerate towards our fellow humans.
Itβs never a bad time to start masking in public.
I never stopped. The pandemic never ended. People just got tired of acknowledging it and left the vulnerable to fend for themselves.
I stopped masking in public very briefly when they were saying it was okay after getting double vaxxed. Waited the proper amount of time for immunity to kick in and then some, and I immediately got COVID π₯²
Fool me once, etc. Iβm never doing that shit again, and itβs a little disturbing to me how little people care about othersβ health or their own. Youβd think naked self interest would get people masking if empathy doesnβt, but apparently not.
Same. And to the best of my knowledge I'm still a COVID virgin (unless I was asymptomatic).
I worked retail for a good portion of it and somehow never got it. I did get swung at by a customer who thought I was hiding toilet paper in the back though.
RFK Jr announced a new program to give underprivileged kids pet bats. Due to the demand, many are expected to come from China, but will not be affected by tariffs.
Don't worry, everything will work out as planned.
There's probably thousands of coronavira in different animals just waiting to give us their love.
Especially bats. They have more viruses than an average family computer
or just don't mess with the bats?
Vira, that's funny.
I guess the correct plural is virii or viruses?
(Phone still underlines that first one hmm)
That's a common misconception, vira or viruses is correct.

Now the real question is, if you fart in those suits do you have time to enjoy it or does it get expelled directly?
We are so fucked.
Not again!!
How long did it take for the Spanish flu to start taking down people in their prime?
Damnit Randy Marsh.
