That is 23 airframes of MiG-29s.
Russia has more active squadrons of Su-27s. Let alone everything else.
They might survive long enough to fly a total of two sorties before being downed by a hail of amraamskis.
I don't need to explain why atoms cease their mystical association with a conscious being. Most atoms don't do that. Life is the anomalous phenomena requiring explanation.
Pedantics aside…
The problem I have with "covid" is that the tools they were using to track and diagnose it are simply not capable of the selectivity most believe. There is a reason I insist on electron micrographs of a virus in isolation and proof that the isolated agent is infectious and causes pathosis in healthy people. We have deviated from this very costly set of proofs and run off into the alphabet soup of our microbiome with a list of words for the scavenger hunt. Then we treat matches like they are unique discoveries and sequence our imagination within the statistical returns.
Yes, I got sick in february of 2020 with something rather intense. As did most of my department. It was as bad as many of us had gotten sick in some time. They tested psoitive for influenza A, and B. Was it covid? Could have been. Could also be that we just got hit with a bad run of flu.
I haven't gotten sick since. Still have a scar on my lip where a spot that rubbed raw got infected and pitted/scabbed.
I can engage the discussion on any front - I am still not convinced they know their ass from applesauce as far as what was infecting whom. I can, however, have a discussion about receptors, cytokine signalling cascades, and how to target those for action. Suffice to say that I am of the mind that vaccines will be seen as crude and inefficient in the future. The possible viruses are nearly infinite. The list of antigens and cytokines is finite. Far more efficient to take control of our cells than to try and target things yet to exist.
