It is not a lie. It is a novel virus acted in novel ways. What we knew about the world was slightly off, and we are correcting it. It is the normal process in science. It is the type of thing I have dealt with my whole life.
With 20/20 hindsight, we should have realized nature would throw us some curve balls. We are pretty good at dealing with the standard diseases, so natural will attack us with tricky diseases.
One trick that we saw with HIV is asymptomatic spreading. The mechanism used for doing this by Covid-19 is totally different, but the failure it creates in our defenses is the same. Humans cannot rap their head around a disease that spreads without showing symptoms. It makes testing essential, right when the USA had just destroyed its testing infrastructure. It was a hard concept to understand, when we had trump who could not even understand easy concepts to understand.
"We just cant do any better than this shitty work" is what the morons say.
