Hey chat is it a good thing if:

  • there’s a looming energy crisis
  • a bunch of crops are having really low yields
  • there are lakes and rivers completely drying up
  • we’re about to enter a super El Niño
  • data/fusion centers are polluting/consuming the water/air en masse
  • thousands of people have died in India due to heat before summer’s even officially hit
  • and there’s another pandemic brewing in Africa just prior to millions of people traveling for the World Cup?

How long do we have before shit starts to break down due to lack of food and water, even in the imperial core? I give it less than a year at best.

CW: mention of self harm

If the Bundibugyo strain becomes airborne it is almost certainly because god exists and they hate us. There is precedent for an airborne filovirus (Ebola Reston) but it thankfully doesn't affect humans. Regardless it means that Ebola has the capacity to become airborne. The odds of this happening is very low but should this ever happen and make it to my country of residence I am killing myself. I don't mean to alarm I just mean to impress that if I thought this outbreak had pandemic potential I wouldn't downplay it like in my previous comment. You can rest easy knowing that Ebola is a relatively immobile virus and should that change it would be divine punishment rather than human failure.
