That's pretty cool! I knew we didn't really have a flu season, but I didn't realize we actually killed off a while strain. Not for nothing, I guess.

You do have a point though, we have an existing vaccine and we are more knowledgeable about the flu in general. Maybe there would be more surviviors than one would anticipate. As long as the scientists didn't dont get infected and die before they could get the vaccine out.

When birds catch the bird flu, there can be up to 100% mortality rate. So, I suppose I'm more refering to a catastrophic, civilization altering illness. More akin the what a zombie virus would do, without the added potential of reanimation.

But in the situation in imagining, they would all be dead. I'd be stuck there indefinitely!

But you do have a point. Im sure the public health officials in my area would tell everyone that there's nothing to worry about and to go get infected for fun. :/ guess I'd be the only one left, granted I stay inside long enough to outlive all the infected.

No, definitely people wouldnt quarantine like that. But, H5N1 can have a really high mortality rate. From what I can tell, a near 100%. for birds and some marine mammals. I.e. every animal that catches it, dies.

Not to be macabre, but I don't mean how long would people have to quarantine to beat back the virus. Im asking how long would an individual have to hide from everyone else, before everyone else, who refused to believe it was real, and whatnot, caught the virus and just...died.

Yeah...I took the bait, then remembered what day it was.

Firefox also has a libreddit extension that will automatically direct you there if you type in any reddit address.

I'm not saying he didn't, that it doesn't, or that he has. It's just that the whole reason were talking about this is cause he over-inflated the value of his assets and nobody wants to loan him money. Technically, if he had money to pay for this, he wouldn't be in this predicament. He wouldn't be begging people to put it on credit. Any reasonable rich person would just pay the damn thing and get it out of the way. Then again he's not reasonable... but I digress.

I'm sure this was just a "legit" way to get the amount lowered / pander to his base / kiss his ass. It sucks that nobody has the gumption to give him the consequences he deserves, but I don't care if he says "he has the money," or had the money in the past to get to the presidency and get everyone on board with his demented plot of world domination. If he doesn't pay it, he ain't got it. There's a reason nobody with actual money would loan it to him.

Yes, greed rules the world.

I'm just being silly, but isn't this technically due to his lack of money?

I mean, they still make pop rocks...

More like he needs to know when to take a break when she's most fertile so they can procreate. He's already gone by the time she's having "her time of the month"

That's what happened to me. Needed a printer in the middle of covid, ASAP. Nothing I researched was there, so I had a limited time to just pick a printer. Hmmm, this HP seems ok...

3 months later, there was no way I used all the ink. WTF. Go to buy more, and thats when I realized my mistake. !@#☆$%^&*
