Post Reply - A new pandemic

-Flu remains a major risk...the idea of "flu-season" may become "outdated" ...

-CoViD still around and developing...

-SARS-3/new CoViD variants are a growing risk and widespread in lots of bats/other animals (MERS is NOT over...just "limited")

Human (in)action is worsening the "global picture"....From aging (old people=weaker immunity) to anti-vax stupidity...

Lots of countries fail to even do basic testing...If a hospital patient test positive for one disease often testing stops-missing (possible) co-infections...that can spread further..And YES GOOD healthcare does cost money ! Bad healthcare costs more !!!

Like with climate collapse realizing how large the risks are has turned into denialism...NOT willing to know those risks...because governments have to react on that...

We keep failing to make climate, pandemics, the top priorities...

DJ, "case-case-cluster-cluster-boom" is one time line...Another is "pandemic, pandemic, multi pandemic, disease "X"...

There are trillions of potential diseases in "nature"....and we are increasing our chances for opening the doors for a disease humans NEVER did see before, with NO immunity and -potential- a high CFR/"kill ratio"...

Chances of a disease in bamboo becoming a risk for humans may be 0,00000001%...But if we "open the doors-invite diseases" some of those very unlikely diseases MAY find ways to get into humans...

The main reason why we do not see that coming is we do not want to see it coming...And that is a BAD choice !

(DJ-Again I am NOT any kind of "expert" just trying to make up my mind...In the hope not writing to much non-sense...)
