    Why would HIV need to piggyback on Covid when it could easily use the flu virus? Both are (mostly) endemic, both evolve new variants.

Normally someone would fight off covid or die of it within say 3 weeks, but people with HIV can have it for many months and maybe forever as their immune systems don't work well.
    I don't get your point then. This is the same issue even with the current variants.

    Yes agree, this was always a risk. But now it has happened.

    What is different is that this isn't a slight variation from earlier strains, but seems to be a lot of “evolution” in one big step. This suggests a lot of variations have happened in one person who has had covid for a long time and then spread from that person around the community.

    Certainly fixing Oil prices none of that strategic reserve manipulation was needed.

    Of course it can't be contained, moronic to even suggest it might have been.

    Have you literally learned nothing in these 2 years?

    Classic endemic viral evolution, welcome to the latest incarnation of the annual flu.

    Now shut up and get back to work.

    Damn, I lose, I had voted Monday. Well there are now some quarantine hotel rooms available for the Christmas rush...now it's just a question of when the UK ban comes when 2 or 3 more of the new omicron variant are detected there- just in time for Lunar New Year returnees...

    the only sure thing is that the “experts“ will continue to be given full rein over every aspect of people's lives, issuing contradicting directives with straight faces, while life as we once knew is dangled further and further away
