Yes, my, my, my Corona is Mutating

October 11, 2020 by Wayne Creed 7 Comments

Scientists in Houston on Wednesday released a study of more than 5,000 genetic sequences of the coronavirus that reveals the virus’s continual accumulation of mutations, one of which may have made it more contagious.

The new report, however, did not find that these mutations have made the virus deadlier or changed clinical outcomes. All viruses accumulate genetic mutations, and most are insignificant, scientists say.

The new study was posted Wednesday on the preprint server MedRxiv. It appears to be the largest single aggregation of genetic sequences of the virus in the United States thus far. A larger batch of sequences was published earlier this month by scientists in the United Kingdom, and, like the Houston study, concluded that a mutation that changes the structure of the “spike protein” on the surface of the virus may be driving the outsized spread of that particular strain.

We know you don’t want to hear this, but Corona is not going away, and there will never be a cure. A vaccine is at least 6 years away (at least a legit one). We have had a flu vaccine for 70 years, and it comes back every year just like clockwork.

We have to come to the grips with the fact that we have to live with Covid-19, and that everyone will eventually get it, just as everyone gets the flu virus, or even the common cold. As with the flu, we are all affected differently–some will have little or no symptoms, some may die.

It is time to move on from this and get back to living again.

    I heard “Corn Pop” Biden on the radio news this morning raving like a mad man about Trump and COVID and how hundreds of thousands of Americans are going to die because of Trump and COVID, which is pure political HORSE **** pouring out of “Corn Pop” by the barrel full.

    Trump is not a doctor and thus, Trump is not responsible for the health care of any American suspected of having COVID or diagnosed with having COVID.

    Trump is doing exactly what he should be doing, which is getting out of the way of the real medical professionals so they can do their job without political interference.

    “Corn Pop” is acting very irresponsibly with this POLITICAL HORSE **** concerning COVID.

    And Corn Pop was a bad dude. And he ran a bunch of bad boys. And I did and back in those days – to show how things have changed – one of the things you had to use, if you used Pomade in your hair, you had to wear a baby cap. And so he was up on the board and wouldn’t listen to me. I said, ‘Hey, Esther, you! Off the board, or I’ll come up and drag you off.’ Well, he came off, and he said, ‘I’ll meet you outside.’

    My car this – was mostly, these were all public housing behind us,” Biden continued. “My car – there was a gate on here. I parked my car outside the gate. And I – and he said, ‘I’ll be waiting for you. He was waiting for me with three guys with straight razors. Not a joke. There was a guy named Bill Wright Mouse the only white guy and he did all the pools. He was a mechanic. And I said, ‘What am I gonna do?’ And he said. ‘Come down here in the basement, where mechanics – all the mechanics- – where all the pool builder is.’ You know the chain, there used to be a chain that went across the deep end. And he cut off a six-foot length of chain, and folded it up and he said, ‘You walk out with that chain, and you walk to the car and say, ‘you may cut me man, but I’m gonna wrap this chain around your head.’ I said, ‘You’re kidding me.’ He said, ‘No if you don’t, don’t come back.’ And he was right. So I walked out with the chain. And I walked up to my car. And in those days, you remember the straight razors, you had to bang ’em on the curb, gettin’ em rusty, puttin’ em in the rain barrel, gettin’ em rusty? And I looked at him, but I was smart, then. I said, ‘First of all,’ I said, ‘when I tell you to get off the board, you get off the board, and I’ll kick you out again, but I shouldn’t have called you Esther Williams, and I apologize for that. I apologize.’ But I didn’t know that apology was gonna work.

    He said, ‘you apologize to me?’” Biden went on. “I said, ‘I apologize but not for throwing you out, but I apologize for what I said.’ He said, ‘OK,’ closed that straight razor, and my heart began to beat again.

      It is very hard to imagine that the person that wrote this is running for president of this country.

    I am predicting that if the lying dog-faced pony soldier “Corn Pop” Biden and his running mate Karmela get elected, that about 48 hours or less after the inauguration, there will be an emergency news conference about one o’clock in the morning to announce that the Democrats had finally come to the same conclusion as most Americans that “Corn Pop” Biden was bat-**** crazy and could no longer be president as a result, so that Nancy Pelosi had dismissed “Corn Pop” and had appointed Karmela to be president in his place, and the next morning, Karmela will hold another press conference decked out in her Commander-in-Chief uniform to announce martial law while she mops up some reactionary cells here in America that are a threat to her administration.

        25th Amendment, “Corn Pop!”

        Your days are numbered, dude!

        That’s the message I get, anyway, from that law of Constitutional Scholar and big wheel Democrat Jamie Raskin that Nancy Pelosi just passed which makes it a whole lot easier for her to declare you bat-**** crazy and therefore unfit to hold the office three days after you are inaugurated.

        And then it will be the reign of Queen Empress Karmela, The Protector, First of her name, ruler of the free world and president of the Province of the United States of America.
