LjLublx, ↑23:32
ublxoh my lol at the "I mean, then what? ... There is no western country whose population is going to willingly accept another lockdown, or even going outside wearing a mask again."23:35
LjLublx, i think "people start dropping dead on the street" is the sort of thing that would happen with a bird flu pandemic, so we *would* get lockdowns and more, just... largely too late. other than that i don't think the person is wrong, people act highly irrational23:40
ublxmhm people would be locking themselves down, fleeing to the countryside23:40
ublx50% mortality sounds civilisation ending23:41
LjLwouldn't even take 50% to be civilization ending23:42
LjLbut meanwhile everywhere the droning goes "the agency said the general public’s current risk of contracting the virus is low."23:42
LjLso we'll wait until it's high to jab everyone against it?23:42
ublxspanish flu infected (not killed).. a third of the global population?23:42
LjLwhen the risk "is high" is when people are already dying and it's largely too late23:42
LjLi'm not sure23:42
LjLit probably had higher mortality than COVID but lower than this thing might have23:43
LjLbut who knows, we aren't even really sure about covid's mortality :P23:43
ublxand think of the difference in human communications/travel then and now23:43
LjLublx, same former director of CDC, from Wikipedia: In a March 26, 2021, Redfield said that in his opinion the most likely cause of the COVID-19 pandemic was a laboratory escape of SARS-CoV-2, which "doesn't imply any intentionality", and that as a virologist, he did not believe it made "biological sense" for the virus to be so "efficient in human to human transmission" from the early outbreak.[39]23:49
