Well, as an American who was healthy, after visiting Edinburgh (may have gotten it in London) I got covid. And I had covid 3 months ago here in the US. So whatever is there, is the new kid on the block. But I didn't bring it, but I took it back to America from Edinburgh.😉

China played a big role here. When they concluded the virus started in a wet market and then sent every animal and vendor home.... That was a huge red flag. You quarantine and test every human and animal. That wasn't done. Doesn't prove a lab leak. Does prove lies and/or deception.

Meanwhile, in the US we have neurosurgeons from Venezuela working as field hands on US farms because it's far better pay. Or housekeepers at Motel 6 supporting husband's who are practicing doctors in Caracas. This is first hand knowledge.

Unfortunately this is typical of governemnt responses. They choose to blame the method of transmission on something they can control, like interstate cattle movement, making people think they're in control and can end it. In reality it's an aerosol, spreading beyond anyone's control.

Way I see it, the pressures that led to inflation are still present. What changed was our demand fell to adjust. The inflation came down, but only due to demand falling. The fundamental problem, a shortage of labor, remains.
