I’ve been using this a lot lately
On the bright side, another lockdown might just put the kabosh on all this forced RTO nonsense lol
“You’re not a BIRD, Susan. I expect to see you at your desk on Monday.” --asshole bosses
Probably lower carbon emissions too
This is the earth healing itself 🤷♂️
The Canadian government would still bring
hisits employees back first, just to prove a pointThe Canadian government uses the she/her pronouns thank you very much
Woops, french habit that came out
I thought they’d confirmed that almost a year ago when it was spreading through sea mammals?
Yes. Literally killing dolphins.
And inefficient airborne transmission from Mink to Ferret. (Not that they are aquatic, but the transmission is concerning.)
Not a fan of how many innocent people will die from another pandemic, but I don’t think I’m going to be upset if the anti-vaxxers select themselves out of the population.
I wish they would do so without murdering immune compromised neighbors nor negligent homiciding their children.
Except Darwin giggles with glee
This stuff will make us all go vegan. With a mortality rate of 50%, there won’t be any anti-vaxxers as everyone will be scared for their lives.
This isn’t how people work I think. Instead you will have people who have been primed by prior experience that their ignorance worked out. EG people who by dint of age and health only ever had <1/10th of 1% of dying from covid didn’t get vaccinated and had covid 3 times and are fine LEARNED that vaccinating isn’t important.
If there is a 50% mortality event they will have learned that their shit works long enough to catch it and die while listening to their facebook groups tell them they just need to take some vitamin C. They’ll keep telling each other its all a scam, just normal flue, someone will chime in that they’ve already had it months prior to this being even possible. They’ll shit talk until they die in their houses.
The stupid “I did it and I’m fine” line of thinking makes for a really convincing argument for a lot of people. It’s messed up.
Something with a mortality rate of 50% won’t spread the way Covid did, it’d kill the host too fast
I’m going to miss dairy cheese but I am willing to accept dramatic reductions in non-vegan food for the good of the world. Some people just lose their mind over the idea of eating less animal products though.

It is way too easy to win that game. Which is incredibly frightening.
The highly virulent B3.13 form of the H5N1 virus has already led to the culling of 90 million domestic birds in the US alone since 2022. The CDC says the risk to the general public from the H5N1 strain is currently low, with the 11 infected so far in the US reporting mild symptoms.
Yet a single confirmed death of a vulnerable person from the related H5N2 virus in Mexico serves as a stark reminder of the risks involved, should the pathogen evolve.
Of note, the H5N2 virus is a completely different strain of influenza from what this article is about, and this guy, who had severe comorbidities, is the only known person in the entire world to have contracted it. This case is completely unrelated to the H5N1 outbreak, but I guess it “serves as a stark reminder.”
Gee, maybe this is why “why is my dog/cat bleeding from the eyes” and similar Google searches have been trending around industrial scale meat processing hotspots for months.
What?!? How do you find that data? That’s super alarming
Google trends, see my reply to the other comment. Epidemiology Twitter has a bunch of related chatter on the topic too.
If you want to dive into a data topic like this my first stop is Twitter to see what the experts are saying, then Google trends to see how that translates into searches the mass public are making while dealing with it.
Source?
Google trends. Ask it questions like “why is my cat bleeding” or “why is my dog bleeding” and look at trends and localization over the last 3mo. Search in both English and Spanish to capture data from native Spanish speakers (the bulk of the workforce at meat processing plants) and their extended communities.
Google h5n1 symptoms in cats and dogs (bleeding from the eyes, ass, high fever, pink eye, seizures, etc) and come up with queries that everyday people might Google (like: “why is my dog bleeding from his privates” because Americans can’t say “anus”) and go from there.
I haven’t really kept track of all of the queries we looked through over the last couple of months, this was more my SO’s thing. Epidemiologist Twitter probably has some good data too.
Off the top of my head pink eye in dogs, cats with seizures, cats bleeding from their eyes, dogs bleeding from the ass, high fevers, etc all had pretty narrow localization around major industrialized meat packing plants or industrial scale livestock farming.

Have you found those that wish to hear that which nearly no one else does?
pls not again
Stock on toilet paper!
Well, we think we eradicated one of the existing flu strands during covid and we’re wondering what to do with the extra capacity (more shots with less strains or find something new to add) and I guess we’ve found something new to add.
