Someone did a study a few years ago to see if farts through trousers actually spread bacteria.

Anyone else regularly have this overwhelming feeling that, whether it was a lab leak, or something at that wet market, if ONE, just ONE person hadn't screwed up, maybe none of this would have ever happened?
Sometimes I feel like it's some kind of absurd dream that all depends on that ONE mistake or incident, and if it had not happened, all of this wouldn't be real.

- Statistically, you could argue it would never have hinged on one person's fault because as long as it exists, the dice would've kept on rolling.cannonball1978
- Yes.palimpsest
- We don't know how it originated but what's more likely? It happened from one freak event...or there was a virus already circulating in animals, and during theyuekit
- millions of interactions between humans and animals it finally crossed over to humans. The second scenario is inherently more likely but it also means there wasyuekit
- probably not one single person or event that made it happen, anymore than COVID-19 ending up in the USA (or any country) was the fault of one person.yuekit

Are we even able to create vaccines at the creation rate of new variants? If we can, are we able to distribute to everyone in the world in time?(despite if they take or not ) If not then are we just going to be playing catch up until the creation of a super vaccine?
- or until the virus goes dormant. killing enough hosts to not be able to reproduce itself or mutating to a variant that isn't as deadly.uan
- A more harmless variant seems like a fools hope IMO, but probable i guess. Just along for the ride now it feels.BabySnakes
- Yesterday, the Pfizer CEO said they have been working on possible variant vaccines for a while and that's why a 100 turnaround is possible.CyBrainX

Bonus Question:
All these reports studies about the omicron variant were just sitting on desks and waiting till after Thanksgiving?I hadn't heard of this new variant till Friday when it was talked hard about.
Don't be an ass, I'm asking for discussion sake, not to troll.
- There are developed methods identifying variants quickly, and there are days of research and consultation before the general public gets these informations.sted
- I'm patiently waiting around for the Kris Kringle Christmas variant.utopian
- true, just he way media push the fear and timing of it annoys me.BabySnakes

I should have copied the link but I was reading something yesterday saying how Omicron might be a blessing in disguise.. if its as hyper transmissible as they say, but the actual health effects are minimal, it could make it impossible for Delta and earlier variants to survive..

Over 20,000 Years Ago, a Coronavirus Epidemic Left Marks in Human DNA
The oldest modern coronavirus is about 820 years old, but humanity has been fighting similar viruses for millennia.
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/s…
...
A crown of spike-shaped proteins make coronaviruses recognizable when viewed under a microscope. But modern genetic analysis offers another way to find evidence of coronaviruses: detecting the marks the virus leaves behind in the populations it infects.
...
When coronaviruses infect humans, they rely on the microscopic machinery made by human genes in order to make more virus particles. So the research team focused on a few hundred human genes that interact with coronaviruses—but not other microbes—during an infection, reports Carl Zimmer for the New York Times.In five groups of people, 42 of those genes had enough mutations to suggest they had evolved because of an epidemic. The genes may have become better at fighting off the viral infection, or less hospitable for the virus to use to copy itself. People with those mutations would have been more likely to survive an outbreak of the disease, and later, have children with the same genetic mutations.
...
However, Jackson adds the findings may inform research into treatments for Covid-19 and other coronavirus diseases, because the 42 genes once protected people from coronaviruses.
