Susan Rice warns COVID-19 'is not the big one,' future pandemic could be worse

Rice also says she expects Biden to rejoin the World Health Organization and make the U.S. “part of the global effort to stamp out the virus" through COVAX, the global vaccine partnership

Former United Nations ambassador Susan Rice, slated to become the Domestic Policy Council chief if Joe Biden assumes the White House next month, is warning that COVID-19 outbreak “is not the big one” and that a future pandemic could be worse.

“In the Obama administration, as I said, we had the 2009 swine flu; we had the Ebola epidemic that could have been a global pandemic; we had the Zika virus, as you'll remember, so we were very prime to this risk. We knew that we hadn't had the big one,” Rice said during a virtual event organized by Stevenson University’s speaker series.

“And by the way, I hate to be a downer here, but this is not the big one, either. This, sorry, but, you know, this would be the big one if it had the kind of mortality rates that you can get with a virulent avian flu. We have a mortality rate of, you know, 2 to 3%, roughly, now for COVID, which is — and you see how deadly that is when it's not under control. Imagine if it were that much higher,” she added.

Rice, former National Security Advisor in the Obama administration, said the U.S. would rejoin the World Health Organization, as President-elect Joe Biden has promised. Rice also said she expects the Biden administration to make the U.S. a “part of the global effort to stamp out the virus" through COVAX, the global vaccine partnership.

I am surprised that more is not said about about 1 9 68 and the infections that year,

When a renown epidemiologist like Susan Rice warns about the ‘big one’ you know these pandemics aren’t just a fake excuse for despotic elements in government to grab more power.

Friends, today, Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, said there is a new strain of Covid now in England that infects faster than this present one, and, as of tomorrow, he is shutting down part of England, including London.  He is going to Level 4, the most restrictive level.  That means stay at home, only leave for buying food or going to doctor, and for physical exercise by yourself.  The plan for Christmas week, this coming week, was two families could meet together. That is gone since this new strain has been found.

Wales went to Level 4 this evening.  My son lives there and sent me an email about all this.

This new strain is bound to come here - when?  Tomorrow, next week, who knows?
This is a new terrible happening. 

All of you who read this, let me know how you feel about this.

Why is there no rebellion against this broken promise, this blatant lie that they would end the lockdown for Christmas, the only reason they put it in so early in the first place?

It's nine months in and we're no closer to the end of this than we were in March. This should be a fireable offense for everyone involved.

Unless it is shown to be more lethal than the last strain, I refuse to be stampeded.

At risk people, by all means protect yourselves. The rest, get on with normal living. Life carries with it risk.

Absolutely!   

Also, This is a smart virus.  It realized early on that if it was to survive it had to stop killing the host.  So like any good virus it mutated to be less deadly.  Pretty soon it will be as common as a cold. No vaccine needed.

Their (the radical left) pride and arrogance compels them to talk (brag) about their knowledge of future events.... as if they are prophets....

when it is nothing more than them being informed by their globalist masters of future "releases" for the purpose of gaining more control over We, the People.   And I bet they already have their inoculation against any future releases.

Agreed, and I will not comply.  Those sitting in Congress (unless you're part of the new "Squad" regime) will be sorely surprised when they realize that they've been duped and they are not going to be immune from the globalist agenda.  Most of them are merely puppets who have sold their souls to the evil ones.

I believe that their are many different strains of this virus and any vaccine that is being created isn't going to protect people and I believe that it may make them more vulnerable.  There are many strains of the flu and no vaccine created is going to protect everyone.  That's been a given.

Take precautions just like you would every year for the flu.  Masks are mandated around here in order to get into stores, but I am becoming very apprehensive about wearing one and complying as there are reports coming out that masks do more harm then good; the body needs new oxygen, not re-breathing your own C02.

Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer continuously.  Don't touch your face when your out. Avoid crowded areas; run your errands and shop when places are least busy.

Lots of ways to protect yourself.  The lockdown is a means to control the populace, destroy the economy and march us right into socialism or worse.

The Bible mentions that Christians will be persecuted, this perhaps maybe the beginning of that movement here in the U.S.  Certainly by the document that I posted from Glenn Beck's website, it is a growing and real possibility.

...Don't touch your face when your out. Avoid crowded areas; run your errands and shop when places are least busy....

I suspect the main protection I get from wearing a mask in public is from touching stuff and not touching my face before I use the sanitizer again.

With the initial wearing of the masks, I found myself reaching to touch my nose/face for the slightest itch.  It forced me to become more aware of that default reaction.  I'm still struggling to overcome the urge to touch stuff in stores.

New studies show the transfer of the covid from surfaces to infect people is harder than we were lead to believe when this whole "Scare the masses" campaign started.  The BS of the bug living 48 hours on your counter top was crap.  I find it easer to believe crabs can poll vault from a toilet seat and grab my meat.
