There are eight strains of the coronavirus. It is normal behavior for a virus to mutate. Unfortunately, one strain that has been hovering around Houston, TX for four months suddenly exploded. As the pandemic wraps itself around the southern belt of America and up into California, Donald Trump has been telling people not to believe their lying eyes.
His rah-rah behavior hits people like a wrench hitting an old cold metal pipe. He claimed that China had been testing again, and viola! they have found more cases of the COVID-19 virus, but deaths were down.
Trump has been scrambling for ways to divert voters’ attention away to the terrible disease on their doorstep. His scattershot approach included a warped version of the economy, criminal immigrants, and “angry violent mobs:” The president’s mind must be an awful place to live.
This different strain of the coronavirus is more infectious and has been hovering around Houston for approximately four months. Professor of at Baylor College of Medicine and Chair of Molecular Virology and Microbiology, Joseph Petrosino told The Houston Chronicle that this strain was “more transmissible:”
‘A summary of the data thus far suggests that this strain has gained a fitness advantage over the original and is more transmissible as a result. It is safe to say this version is more infectious.’
The commander-in-chief somehow considers nearly three million confirmed cases of the virus and over 132,000 dead loved ones “Low and steady:”
‘New China Virus Cases up (because of massive testing), deaths are down, “low and steady”. The Fake News Media should report this and also, that new job numbers are setting records!’
Then, POTUS went after New York City and Chicago for playing “the Sanctuary City card:”
‘New York City and Chicago play the Sanctuary City card, where criminals are protected. Perhaps they will have to start changing their ways (and thinking!).’
Trump has been especially fond of attacking peaceful protests via his military with toxic tear gas, rubber bullets, and batons. Then, he went on to attack them with his words, calling them “angry, violent, criminal mobs.” There has been some evidence that the more violent offenders were sent in by white nationalist groups:
‘“This is no longer about peaceful protesting, this is about angry, violent, criminal mobs taking over certain (Democrat run) (sic) cities. It is a lack of political leadership in that city.” Chad Wolf @DHSgov @foxandfriends @NYGovCuomo @NYCMayor’
‘NASDAQ HITS ALL TIME (sic) HIGH!’
‘A summary of the data thus far suggests that this strain has gained a fitness advantage over the original and is more transmissible as a result. It is safe to say this version is more infectious.’
Researchers have also found that young people who have had coronavirus have been burdened with long-term effects: lung disease, kidney issues, and/or chronic blood clots.
There have been two new research papers supporting the theory of this variation of the virus was more transmissible:
‘Two new research papers show that the newer strain is more transmissible, a possibility first suggested by a team of scientists in May. At the time, that suggestion was considered highly speculative. Now, their findings have become more accepted.’
Part of the problem has been the president urging people to go to events where people would be placed close to one another. These include Trump rallies, church services, and even parties. This graph explains the many high-risk activities, from KHOU.com:
Twitter world went crazy after Trump started off on his mid-morning attack tweets. Take a look at some of our favorite American responses below:
