Everyone in this thread worried because of how we handled the “last” pandemic… you should be more worried about how we’re handling the CURRENT pandemic you’ve been convinced is over because the rich people wanted you back in the office.
Covid is top 4 leading causes of death, makes you more susceptible to die from the top 3 causes, is disabling millions of people every year still, and destroys your immune system / Tcells similar to HIV. Aids wasnt discovered until around 10 years after people were first getting HIV
While "next" is technically correct, it'll be far worse than Covid was/is.
Covid was our practice round and we failed.
Not only is Bird Flu orders of magnitude more deadly than Covid, people are so thoroughly sick of pandemic protocols that we'll never get the kind of mask adoption we saw during Covid and even that was abysmal.
Employers will never allow people to work from home again if they can help it, they're still Fighting to claw the rest back now.
You mean the current one? The covid pandemic is still raging killing 2,000+ a month in the US alone and disabling millions a year. Its in the top 4 leading causes of death and makes you more susceptible to die from the top 3 causes
