Alarming news

[Lumbergooz]

watching some reports that new covid mutation is severe. Some named it doomsday mutant. What it gona be now ? TWO years slashed from our lives already with Covid chapter 1.... on the other hand lots of news about breakthru of nuclear fusion US and china both claim they finally did it..do we expect to drive a fusion engine car that runs for several years without refuel? if this is true , then one can live on a far mountain running an electric generator for his home. Will oil producers be happy with this ? or even the tax guys ?

Nuclear fusion is not a renewable energy source, so it became obsolete before it was completed. Better not start yet another exponential growth of consumtion, leading to a sudden U-turn once nature's sensitive chemical balance has been destroyed.

I may or may not have it right now (almost done). Didn't bother testing because I have a sneaky suspicion that covid=flu.
No regrets here, though. It's normal for humans to get sick once a year. Builds up the immune system.

If you're referring to the XBB.1.5 subvariant, it's no more severe than the regular omicron covid.

Regarding the fusion "breakthrough" we are no closer to having fusion power than we were before.

Nothing will make them happy, so don't even try. The oil producers do tend to buy out any significant breakthrough energy patents. When oil become unviable, they'll start releasing them with the caption: "Guess what we just developed! Aren't we so great!" They'll be in the energy business for a long time to come, whatever that energy business tends to look like.
