The “money” posts are at 90 and 91....Somebody predicts that HIV will become super airborn virulent perhaps mixing with swine or other flus and just take out the whole of the humman race within a few weeks...except for for a few folks and families who have had precognitive warnings of such an event and have already prepared.
I think I read this in a short story once...oh yes..The Masque of the Red Death...by Poe!
Just a couple of notes you might be interested in:
1. The “someone” is Free Rebublic’s Mother Abigail - who is arguably one of the most famous posters on the Internet due to her SARS and EBOLA predictions. The SARS threads on Free Republic were a seminal turning point in the evolution of the Internet. You may have read my article (LOL)
2. Her actual prediction is that the HIV virus is evolving - searching for a way to become more virulent and that the first indications of that successful evolution will be an outbreak of deadly cases in Egypt that are, initially, misidentified as an H5N1 outbreak.
Again thank you for reading. I have been overwhelmed by the number of hits on the Tokuisei site - it is a bit humbling.
Sounds like Stephen King’s The Stand to me.
The “someone” is Mother Abigail who is perhaps one of the most famous posters ever on this board. Her work on SARS and Ebola pretty much are Internet folklore.
What, to be exact, she predicts is that HIV has now permeated the entire world and has embedded itself into almost every culture.
She believes that because HIV is perhaps the most mutanagenic bug on the planet, that there will soon be a mutation among the zillions made daily - which will allow the virus to be transported via cough water droplets to a new patient. (i.e. airborne transmission)
Many bad bugs have this ability to ride the massive water droplets expelled in sneezing etc. It is not uncommon at all.
She continues to point out that once in the new lungs it will set off a catastrophic series of events called a cytokine storm. The research in Spain (cited above) now appears to validate that hypothesis.
That simple mutation, in her opinion, is a worldwide game changer - on a scale we can not really grasp.
It appears to me that the number of families with premonitions of very dark clouds on the horizon is far greater than ever I imagined. Or at least that is the impression I get from the Internet and reality TV.
I hope that helps put a little finer point on the issue.
