At least we all learned our lessons from the last one and will definitely have no issues when it happens again. /s

[–] BallsandBayonets@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

Of course they learned a lesson! Only about a million people died in the US and the rich got over $1 trillion richer, so this time they'll let 10 million die so the rich can get $10 trillion richer!

They're not going to wear a mask for this one either, huh?

But the dairy farmers have said they're not milking sick cows! What else could they possibly do?

We will know if we are genuinely in the darkest time line if we get another pandemic and Trump become president again. Because that was such a great combination last time /s

I'm following this closely and posting updates as I have them in /c/h5n1_avianflu. I believe once this gets into pigs, it will mutate to be able to infect humans easier and possibly gain H2H. When that happens... not if... be prepared to wear a mask and social distance. People will overwhelm the hospitals and the mortality rate will be higher then we believe it to be. Protect yourselves and your loved ones.

We all know how well people responded to COVID...

We might be more screwed

They aren't testing pigs and what testing is being done on cows isn't expansive by any means. We won't know until people start getting sick.
