It is impossible to predict the next cross over virus. But I have no doubt there will be one. The one previous to COVID, was HIV. HIV led to medical technology that lets the skilled of our species rapidly respond. As for the unskilled and easily fooled, God knows the fallen sparrow. Bob Wilson Ps.Sometimes, just turn up the PriusTech squelch.
Still loving the squelch. I have nine on the list. My first was "fishcrab" back in 2015. Funny they disappeared fairly quickly and have not been seen for more than 10 years. I added no one else until last year. Makes for some easy reading on a few of these posts.
1977 influenza was only one showing DNA hints of human dabbling. We will in future surely face more zoonitics that MAY include altered viruses. We will have more chances to decide about exposure limiting and vaccinations. Sad, yeah? that human intelligence gets tested again and again. But maybe appropriate and not sad. Any civilization intending to reach beyond home planet ought to tick some boxes, Agree?
Absolutely! Humanity's resilience and adaptability are constantly tested, and while it's challenging, these trials push us to grow.
There was SARS and another after HIV. There is a susception that the rate of crossover infections are higher the accepted rate. The rate is established from identifying the new infectious agent. There is likely more incidences of people getting sick from something new, but samples never reach a lab or are even taken.
Masks damage little kids psychological development and interfere with language learning. You are also reducing oxygen intake and rebreathing carbon dioxide. All because you have a weak immune system because you eat garbage over processed food, drink fluoride, use too many chemicals (deodorants, toxic soap), and take toxic pharmaceutical drugs because you can't deal with your life. Some good news though RFK has managed to reduce the childhood poison vaxx schedule and is moving toward fixing the goyslop garbage food pyramid
No, I think we are adapted to the home planet too well, but I enjoy tremendously Star Trek fiction. Let’s take a breath of air already, and take time to thank California for their air pollution work. Thank you California.
Yes and the auto manufactures and engineers whose emissions controls make a new car pollute 100 X less than a car with no pollution control. Some areas of LA the exhaust coming out of a modern car is cleaner than the ambient air. And it's a fact Cali pushed those engineers to do better
A Patriot interceptor missile costs from $4 Mil to $7 Mil A Shahed drone costs $15K to $20K. An airframe made from wood, with a cheap Chinese 2-cycle engine. How about a Propane tank mortar bomb? https://i.4cdn.org/pol/1773339467901443.webm A $20K Shahed drone takes out a $500 Million early warning radar installation in Bahrain
Last thing I remember I was running for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before "Relax," said the night man "We are programmed to receive You can check-out any time you like But you can never leave!"
