This is not good news folks because it means whole new variations, symptoms and vulnerability.

If it is replicating a higher viral load, then watch out, those without masks are going to be sorry.

3. "It'll just go away."

Someone needs to slap that goddamned microphone from Donny Dumbfuck's hand.

Why he hell is he allowed to continue t spew utter insanity while the most preeminent epidemiologists in the country is warning us?

PLEASE SHUT DONNY DUMBFUCK UP!

4. Sounds about right.

5. It does not mean having to test for whole

new variations or symptoms. I’m not sure what you mean by vulnerabilities.

7. This creates a dilemma for the Propagandist of the United States

I understand this mutation (D614G) may have evolved outside of China from the original D614 strain .

So, it isn't really "Kung Flu" anymore. In fact, since the US has an uncontrolled outbreak of it, we may well re-export it back to China.

How will Trump spin this?
