Let me just ring up MBS and see about an invitation, then. Should be a simply fascinating little diversion.

So not only can we not have sex with monkeys from Africa for fear of contracting AIDS, can’t eat pangolins, or was it bats 🦇, because you might contract the Original Chinese Covid Virus which is super duper deadly, but now we can’t hang out with our dromedary Camel 🐪 brothers as they will, I suppose, breath on us and give us MERS which is super duper deadly like the Pangolin, or was it bats 🦇, Chinese Covid Virus!!! It gets so confusing anymore...

Is it not true that IVM is effective against many viruses, SARS, MERS, influenza, several others?

3 people is not an outbreak. All they have to do is stop drinking camel milk. However that is probably NOT how they got it. I’m sure there is a targeted delivery system in place.

The cynic in me went straight to the coincidence of a major conference with hundreds of fat cats to discuss MERS that coincided with the fear porn. Isn't that how all this works?

Yeah, I thought that was rather ridiculous when so saw that drinking camel milk gives you mers like eating pangolins, or was it bats 🦇, gives you Sars Covid-19!!! Just more stupid bullshit fear porn as we know these viruses don’t jump between species like that!!!
