That’s correct, but we’ve never had stakes like this before. Telling people they needed to get healthy because there’s a real virus where you’re xx% more likely to get very sick and/or die can make you want to do things more quickly than the threat of long term impacts 10-20 years from now.

Thought this was an interesting perspective. Take it or disregard it at your own free will:

My wife says she doesn't know what she'll do if the hospital requires her to get one. We're by no means anti-vax, but this one's a little scary.

I’m there with you. I really didn’t get the flu shot till it was required to get Novant credentials. I’m suspecting novant and wake are going to require it when it comes out. Not a fan.

Idk. Someone said it on the Internet, so it’s probably true.

So they created it to turn it on us and decided it would be cool if the whole world felt the consequences too?

China and their labs are extremely negligent in their practices and need to be held accountable in the international community. I would have to see a lot more evidence to buy into the idea that they unleashed this purposefully to target us. It is a huge stretch.

I think most nations experiment in weaponizing viruses. I think they simply screwed-up.

There is truth to that for sure. I just dont think there is enough evidence to say that this was a targeted attack.

They did screw up and need to be held accountable.

I finally talked to someone I know personally who had Covid. It may not be as deadly as the media is making it out to be but it certianly isn't something I want. He can't taste his food even a month after recovering. Is in relatively good shape and is having trouble regaining his stamina.

So yeah, it sucks if it was meant to be a biological weapon but nothing I want any part of.

But also, I'm fairly confident it wasn't meant as a weapon.

Just did some quick math- if daily death rates hold steady between now and the end of the year, we are looking at about 300,000 deaths in America in 2020 from this thing. I remember when Fauci’s prediction of 100k-200k was laughed off as “doomsday.” Let’s pray we get a handle on this soon, whether through a fast-track vaccine or more effective therapeutics.
