Are we going to have another pandemic?

[-] ignirtoq@fedia.io 18 points 3 days ago

That's the easy question: yes. The hard questions are "when?" and "how can we effectively get ready given the lack of political will?"

[-] RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

Yes. Not if, but when.

One can only hope it holds off until the tangerine tyrant's term is over and he hasn't completely destroyed US civilization by then.

But it's looking less and less likely since it recently made the jump to pigs (always a coal mine canary for increased likelihood of affinity for human infection and H2H transmission) and we're just speedrunning towards it through sheer negligence.

If we do, this virus will make covid look like child's play, apparently.

Maybe the government will learn its lesson and not force RTO once it ends...
