What if-The Starving Voices in Shanghai Had Zero in Common with Covid?
Could it be that our enemy created a nastier bug?
China is Not on My Bucket List!
You may have heard the term “Herd Immunity.” Most Americans have been introduced to Covid either through vaccination or natural immunity. I believe our nation already has Herd Immunity.
For those unlucky souls who are stricken with the disease, there is good news and bad news. The degree of illness appears to be dependent on age and individual genetics. As I used to teach my psychiatric patients: “Sperm meets the egg in the fallopian tube, and then you are screwed.” Diversity is broad and deep in the American population due to immigration and migration patterns.
Do not forget forced immigration through African slavery. On further examination, our Black population is diverse due to the admixture of European genetics. If you have a chance, compare a newly arrived African with the Black people who have mixed ancestry. The skin tone, speech patterns, and general appearance are strikingly different than their US counterparts.
Nature vs. nurture continues to be vigorously argued in scientific journals. I find myself leaning toward genetics as the final arbiter of human nature and appearance. We live in Puerto Rico, where Latinos of all shapes, shades, and sizes are proof of the power of genetics. Besides Puertoricaños, we also have people from South America and the other islands. On this tiny speck of land, I have met Spaniards, Colombians, Chileans, and Dominicans. To add to the cacophony of accents, we also have New Yorkers and what we call New Yoricans.
One afternoon, during an Uber ride from neighboring Condado, my driver, who was 19-years-old, told me that he had had Covid without knowing it. He continued to say that he had tested positive and seen his doctor but remained asymptomatic. Conversely, a woman who may have been in her mid-fifties reported, “I would not wish this for my worst enemy.” (Covid.)
So, there is a wide variance in the experience with this virus. But, there is also a common thread. Through the experimental vaccine or natural immunity, America has reached Herd Immunity.
I believe that China, the birthplace of Covid-19, has also accomplished Herd Immunity. Think about it. China has 1,447,664,100., according to The World Population Review.
Where do they put such a massive number of people? Many of the major cities in Asia are tightly packed. The skeptic in my mind doubts that China has not reached Herd Immunity.
So, the horror that many of us witnessed on YouTube, of humans in Shanhai wailing from hunger, makes me suspect that that lockdown had nothing to do with Covid-19. In that video, it was clear that Communist China had converted a bustling city into a locked prison camp.
What if —Red China has manufactured a more lethal virus? The one that comes instantly to my nurse’s mind is Ebola. Ebola is a 100% deadly virus that is centered in Africa. One reason it has not hit our continent yet is its sheer efficiency in killing its host. A scant week after it appears, the person is dead from internal bleeding.
Keep in mind that this is a worst-case scenario. I firmly believe in hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. Will Red China give us the best or the worst?
I will leave that question to you. Think carefully before you comment. Also, please do not forget the phrase, The Wuhan Flu.

Thank you for reading what amounts to my brain exercise for the day. Just in case, here is a button to press.

No thanks! I want nothing to do with the above dude!
