Thoughts, OH? If this is true, then Fauci is basically responsible for the Coronavirus by trying to circumvent the Obama administration's moratorium on GOF research back in 2014.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said he has tested positive for COVID-19, an announcement that comes as his country registers the highest levels of infections and deaths to date.

López Obrador, who has been criticized for his handling of Mexico’s pandemic and for not setting an example of prevention in public, said Sunday on his official Twitter account that his symptoms are mild and he is under medical treatment.

“I regret to inform you that I am infected with COVID-19,” he tweeted. “The symptoms are mild but I am already under medical treatment. As always, I am optimistic. We will all move forward.”

José Luis Alomía Zegarra, Mexico’s director of epidemiology, said the 67-year-old López Obrador had a “light” case of COVID-19 and was “isolating at home.”

Reading about him on wiki.

López Obrador gained national exposure as an advocate for the rights of indigenous people when in 1996 he appeared on national TV drenched in blood following confrontations with the police for blocking Pemex oil wells to defend the rights of local indigenous people impacted by pollution.[34]

I couldn’t find a single image of this...

I know it’s bad form to just start throwing uninformed opinions around but let’s just say i’m concerned about the lethality of the new variants.

From the RTE (Irish TV) news website:

Mr Martin has expressed concern following suggestions that the variant may be linked to higher death rates.

The discussion comes as the UK announced that those who contract the more highly transmissible strain have a 30 to 40% greater chance of dying from the disease will strengthen calls for adherence to the public health measures.

The variant already accounts for 62% of Covid-19 cases in Ireland and is becoming even more dominant.
