That's dark. +1

There could be 1000000 empty houses for every homeless person and capital would still be murdering people who tried to squat.

at least worrying about the economy would be an improvement to just worrying about their personal freedom

I need to watch 28 days later again.

I knew there had to be at least one positive trait.

There will probably be some slant in that direction, but there'll be a much bigger slant towards killing the elderly, the immunocompromised, those who can't afford medical care and time off, etc. As usual.

They can pry them out of my cold, dead hands.

Im just worried how bad it can get. 90% fatalities to pregnant women, that high. That's not the COVID 1-2%

Future historians? I like your optimism.

don't forget RFK Jr who suggested that people drink raw milk amidst an H5 breakout

This is literally the worst possible time for it to happen. If you think global trade and prices are fucked right now then just you wait.

Having a vaccine, and getting it sufficiently wide deployed under a known antivaxxer "health" minister are two different kinds of shoes.

And: The virus is currently trying to overcome species barriers, which might reduce an existing vaccine less useful. AFAIK you need a different vaccine for poultry than for cows, and some infections have made it across to humans, also AFAIK, from cows.

It's entirely avoidable, if only Trump would have actually learned something from his first term and actually funded research and prevention teams. Sadly, he only has the foresight to see how cutting those programs saves the US Govt. a penny now, and not the wisdom to see how that panny would have been money well spent if it prevented us from having to spend thousands on recovery efforts.

I'm ok with this.

We've known about vaccines, germ theory, and virus for quite some time now. If they want to kill themselves because they choose to not follow the science, so be it. I'm tired of having this conversation with the wilfully and proudly ignorant tomato soup brained infants.

My recommendation is to honestly just do what we did during covid. The government likely won't be enforcing anything this time so we're probably gonna be on our own. Also I recommend stocking up on things asap. We're already having supply chain issues and it's gonna get infinitely worse if or when this pops off.

The best thing to prepare is to not be fearful and to not panic.

I suggest that everybody protest against factory farming and participate in boycotts. Call lawmakers and regulators to take direct action against these companies and their dangerous practices (and hold them responsible).
