What Next?

A patient in northern China has died of the plague in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region - the second death from the disease in the last week.

The victim died from multiple organ failure in a case of the bubonic plague on Friday, the Bayannao'er city health commission said on its website.

This comes after China's Inner Mongolia region saw another death from the plague in Baotou last week, leading the city to issue level-three epidemic warnings.

Following Friday's death in Bayannao'er, or Bayannur, the area where the deceased lived has been sealed off, the commission confirmed.

I guess more posts about unrelated items. 

Does syphilus make you more likely to die from COVID?

Herpes?

Diabetes?

Who knows? I don't and you have demonstrated that you don't.

The point is that the plague is not prevalent (but curable) and COVID is. And your point has nothing to do with anything.

The point is that Covid is prevalent but recoverable, and the bubonic plague  is not prevalent (so far) but curable. But what if you have one condition and contract the other?

Like having conditions of old age but COVID is hastening on the termination of old age?

Not the first time germ warfare has been unleashed to reduce a given population.

Diabetes?   Yes.

 People with diabetes are at greater risk of severe illness needing hospital care. The data in Australia shows the people with diabetes represent 7% of diagnosed cases of COVID, 17% of hospitalised cases, 24% of ICU stays, and 25% of deaths.

Really? So enlighten us - which were the previous 'unleashings' and who unleashed this one?

In the past? Measles, smallpox, venereal disease, alcoholism, drug addiction etc, introduced to  the indigineous populations of the British colonies for example.

This latest one? We blame China. But really?

Tuskegee Syphilis Study

By Olivia B. Waxman

July 25, 2017 9:30 AM EDT

As the fight over reforms to the American health-care system continues this week, Tuesday marks the 45th anniversary of a grim milestone in the history of health care in the U.S.

On July 25, 1972, the public learned that, over the course of the previous 40 years, a government medical experiment conducted in the Tuskegee, Ala., area had allowed hundreds of African-American men with syphilis to go untreated so that scientists could study the effects of the disease.

History is littered with abuses such as this. Some say it's for the greater good. And for profiteers of certaiin industries it is.

Sadly for the poor humans it's the ruin of what could have been a good life.

So what can be concluded when considering recent global pandemic events and the relationship with living conditions , personal health &  environmental conditions of high fatality regions relative to low fatality regions ? 

And what would be suggested to reduce future fatalities ?

So in your opinion, measles, small pox, venereal disease etc were deliberately' unleashed' on indigenous populations as a form of germ warfare?
