That’s great, but what is Russia doing about it?

Everyone hates him and inverse Cramer has become a meme so I know everyone will hate on me for defending him, but he does have a lot of inside information and isn't afraid to say when something is fricked up.

He blasted the fed leading into the 2008 financial crisis, I believe he was about 6 months early if memory serves, he also started ringing warning bells on the covid crisis in late Jan- early feb before anyone else, he was into Nvidia back in 2017. So I'm not saying he's not wrong here, just saying he's willing to stick his neck out and make a call. Sometimes he's right, sometimes he's not but he's better than the meme clown world makes him out to be.

All of my examples are best on my best recollection and could have dates wrong but the general statements are factual.

Well that can’t be good and I don’t think we want those US citizens coming back here do we? Quarantine them all at GITMO

Nothing transparent, that's for sure, thus creating a vacuum where we can project "it's nothing" or "it's a devastating bioweapon".

100% correct- why these countries won’t be forthcoming with information for the good of all humanity is dumfounding

27-days until the midterms.

Recall that Covid required a 8-month lead time to spool up.

Maybe they've got the process more refined. We just don't know.

Yah I don’t think it’s going to affect midterms but midterms are irrelevant imo anyways. It could pause the Russian war and hamper the remaining two years of Trump. Hard to trust Russia and China with our involvement in Iran.

Nah. Viruses are so small they can infect bacteria, which is what the plague is.

If it’s contagious via coughing and 50% lethal, that’s gonna be a problem. Antibiotic resistant bacteria are nothing new. This is probably just a matter of time.

2 lab techs dead now.

Are you telling me that you think a lab tech inhaled a bacteria and died 48 hours later?

I mean of all the ridiculous Russian bullshite cover stories of all time, you're buying that?

There isn’t evidence it’s been fabricated.

Knowing Russia, It’s more likely it’s worse than they are letting on

It’s not deadly if antibiotics are taken within 48 hours. The problem with that is doctors aren’t going to prescribe regular joe antibiotics within 48 hours.

Yeah. That supposes that you actually believe the story the Russians are putting out.

A healthy lab tech breaks a vial and is dead 48 hours later. And they want us to believe it was the plague?

You don't even believe that they believe that we believe that load of crap

Russian authorities havent admitted it was plague ...but it even if they did .... doesnt make sense at all. They would know exactly how to handle the situation if the worker was accidently exposed to pneumonic plague and she would've been promptly treated. Im a bit more worried than probably should be b/c thus far the Russian authorities words dont match their actions.
