I’m concerned about the future. It seems to me that something catastrophic may be in the future.

Extraordinary site.
And they are out of stock of many of the less-expensive body bags. The Bahamian need must be great.

AOC says we have only 11 more years before the End of the World, so the pandemic better hurry up.

Can you imagine the out cry from the snowflakes...
Maybe that’s why they are snowflakes. We haven’t suffered catastrophe or the potential of catastrophe in most people’s living memory. My dad graduated from high school in 1932into the teeth of the Depression. The memory of WWI and Spanish flu were part of his parent’s lives. He got 8 years of Depression and then 4 years of WWII before ‘normal’ times returnedwhich of course included the threat of nuclear war destroying everything. But these people are nearly all gone now and while some of us oldsters remember their stories, those under 50 have no memories of nationwide, worldwide disaster.
Maybe they’ll cope better than they or we think.

Nothing the many Clinton Foundation Initiatives couldn’t take care of. Only one problem - you’d have to get them to let go of some of their millions/billions (?). Their many websites promised to save the world!! I think the only thing their money goes to is to their pockets and to keep the glossy/lofty websites going!!

I’m at a loss to see how keeping sick people away from children costs children’s lives. Are you perhaps engaging in an attempt at liberal logic?

Bound to happen eventually. When it does, no one will be talking about progressive issues anymore. Suddenly everyone will have traditional, conservative values.

I think I first ran across her on a thread devoted to tracking the flu. Probably swine or avian flu, those are the ones that will be the most deadly. You got the idea from her posting that she wasn’t just a casual observer.
At some point she went on to discuss Ebola. IIRC she told us that the reservoir animal was going to be fruit bats well before that fact hit the news. I’m pretty sure that she also mentioned the particular cave that the CDC had been focusing on. Convinced me that she was the real deal.

To: Pelham
I remember those threads.
There were other CDC and related researchers during a Marburg outbreak that did not behave, and a rather nasty flu outbreak.
With Just in Time inventories, the West can barely handle seasonal storms, let alone a multi month disruptive event.

"How could you possibly prepare for the death of 80 million people?"
Our blue cities/counties/states would ignore that reality while banning paper straws and advertising that they are still sanctuary sites.
