Jack and others here are like the assholes who refuses to leave when a storm with serious flooding is coming and then needs to be rescued. We witness this with every storm. All our health care workers, doctors, nurses, and others who work within our health care system across the entire country, are pleading with these assholes to stop being reckless and at least wear a mask. Where're in the mists of a savage storm killing people across the country they are beseeching and are drowning and can't keep up. Three hundred thousand deaths in ten months so far with many more to come. Ten times that hospitalized.

The answer is always the same. Our scientists, doctors and scholars are wrong and they, the uneducated and confused are correct. They, the duped by conspiracy after conspiracy theory are the smart ones. They are the ones who realize our health care system, court system, credentialed media, science institutes, educational system, everything, that exists in our day to day lives is out to deceive us.

I’ll say it again. Stupid people don’t know they’re stupid and they certainly don’t realize how obvious it is to others.

Good thing people have built up natural immunity and most people won't need the shots. Because we're not taking them, and fuck any mandates.

In Texas, the people are split, economically, between the top and bottom 50%. Most of the bottom half don't get vaccinations. They don't quit smoking, either, and don't brush their teeth correctly. Lot of things the bottom does wrong and yet insists it's their right, they're right. Statistically it is very predictable how their lives end.

6ix, you are proof those professors at MIT are correct:

Huge mortality gap in U.S. In unprecedented detail, lifespan gap shown to be large and growing rapidly.

“But the fact that they can on average expect to have 10 or 15 fewer years of life really demonstrates the level of inequality we’ve had in the United States.”

How can you tell if someone has built up natural immunity? How do you know it's "most?" How would you/The Gov/Soros mandate a vaccine? You said: "Because we're not taking them" who's the "we" in "we're?"

OK. FINALLY.

ACTUAL CDC NUMBERS for SOME causes of death for SOME of 2020.

Now, the CDC cautions that these numbers are "provisional" and "incomplete".

But their numbers show that deaths from OTHER medical causes, like hypertension, diabetes, kidney failure and so on, are HIGHER than before COVID-19, not less.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

For example, additional "excess" deaths above normal since February 2, 2020 for

influenza and pneumonia IIXXXXXXXXXX 3,054
chronic lower respiratory disease XXXXXX 1,026
other diseases of the respiratory system IX 1,921

Big ticket killers and the excess death contributions are

Alzheimer's disease and dementia XXXX 37,125
Hypertensive diseases IIXXXXXXXXXXX 21,954
Ischemic heart disease IXXXXXXXXXXX 14,504
Diabetes XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 13,739


All in all, 117,383 EXTRA people are estimated to have died in addition to deaths from COVID-19.

(Suicides, accidents, and homicides are excluded as the CDC notes, many investigations are still ongoing.)

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm



Dr. Woolf also warned that many people who are not captured in mortality statistics may still have adverse health outcomes.

“A person who survived the pandemic may end up deteriorating over the next few years because of problems that happened during the pandemic,” he said.

Now MOST people would understand that this disproves JACK's scenario that the who people died of COVID-19 were going to die anyway of something else, and that it would all balance out. And obviously that's not true. But I feel the need to point it out specifically to JACK.

Some people remind me of a character from "Fiddler on the Roof". The beginning of the film in the middle of town. The book seller rushes over to Tevye at his cart filling his weekly orders for cheese, milk and butter. The book seller has his newspaper in his hand and is trying to tell the others what is in it.

One character says, "Why should I worry about the outside world? Let the outside world break its own head."

A young man walks up to them and takes the newspaper from the book seller and tells them, "They should know about the outside world. "

Tevye agrees with Perchik but a lot of the other town folk don't.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Quote:

Not particularly.

Let's take JACK, for example.


The bookseller is trying to tell everyone "The Russian army is 20 miles away and marching towards the village to attack it! We need to be prepared!!!!".

Another character says - "No such thing. Go home everybody. Don't worry. Be happy".

That's JACK. He's not JUST ignoring it, he's denying there's even a problem and that it needs to be addressed.




You may feel somewhat remote from the US crisis, Brenda, and that it's not a big deal here, for 3 reasons:

1) Canada did a better job protecting its citizens, and so now it doesn't have a similar the death toll, case-load, and crisis on its hands compared to the US. Here in LACounty, for example, test positivity rates are at 10%. That means that, on average, roughly 1 in 10 people I rub elbows with are infected when I'm out and about doing what I need to do.
Canada overall now has 15 new cases every day per 100,000 people, the US has 64, more than 4X your number. (Not 4% more, 4 TIMES.)
And so your risk there is not nearly what it is here.

2) Everybody in Canada has healthcare, unlike the US where many people are uninsured, many don't get any medical care at all their entire lives (except when they visit the county ER or visit a free county clinic), and where even the insured always face bankrupting medical costs from a serious illness (unless they're independently wealthy). People are coming into this crisis with unaddressed comorbidities, and really worry about having to go to the hospital if they get sick enough, and ruining their family's entire financial future.

3) Canada has a consolidated enough, large enough medical system that can ramp up services to handle case loads, unlike the US which is for-profit, and operated on a shoestring in private, siloed domains. Excess capacity cuts profits. And only small-scale investments are made. And they're almost never compatible with anyone else.
There is no 'ramp up' spare capacity. There is no 'cooperative' capacity with everybody running their small, hand-crafted systems. So testing LABORATORIES can't keep up. And hospitals across the country are running out of beds, especially ICU beds. And of course, staffing across the country is the biggest issue. When COVID-19 was isolated like in NYC, people could be 'borrowed' from 'somewhere'. But now, there's no 'somewhere' to 'borrow' from.
Here in my home town, the local community hospital has all of 8 ICU beds - and of last report, 7 are filled with COVID-19 cases. TECHNICALLY the ICU is less than 90% occupied. And hey! - that doesn't sound so bad, does it? It has more than 10% to spare!
But that is one and only one bed. God forbid someone has a heart attack and another person gets in a serious enough car accident - or too many critical COVID-19 cases come in at the same time. Somebody is not going to get the ICU bed they need.

I believe in getting immunity the old-fashioned way: By letting a bat virus take control of my lungs and turn my face into a disgusting plague fountain while my immune system desperately Googles 'how to make spike protein antibodies'.

The doctors are protecting themselves by getting vaccinated before their patients. But 6ix won't be vaccinated because he is too stupid to be a doctor. He is too stupid to hold any job without eventually getting his dumb white trash ass fired. http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=63720&mid=11044

Months of waiting for a COVID-19 vaccine to arrive in Houston are almost — but not quite — over, as hospitals prepare to move the first doses from sealed subzero shipments and into the arms of thousands of front-line health care workers this week.

About 19,500 doses of Pfizer’s vaccine will arrive Monday at four medical centers in Texas: MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Methodist Dallas Medical Center, Wellness 360 at UT Health San Antonio and UT Health Austin’s Dell Medical School, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services, which is overseeing deliveries of the first vaccine approved and shipped in the United States.

navirus-vaccine-could-backfire-139854


Quote:

“We seem to be willing to rush a vaccine into clinical trials without extensive animal model or safety testing,” said Paul Offit, a University of Pennsylvania immunologist who co-developed the rotavirus vaccine. “People are so scared of coronavirus that even those who are young and healthy will be willing to take a relatively untested product — even though the wild-type virus is unlikely to kill them.”

Offit’s vaccine, which eliminates thousands of infant deaths each year, took 26 years from design to licensure.



Quote:

Red tape and delay can sometimes pay dividends in drug and vaccine approvals. Industry officials laid into FDA official Frances Kelsey in 1961 for her reluctance to approve their morning sickness drug thalidomide, but her sloth turned into a blessing. While Kelsey pondered the submission, news of crippling birth defects in thousands of babies poured in from Europe, and the FDA never approved the drug.

During the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic, federal officials decided not to approve vaccines that contained a new substance designed to boost the vaccine’s effectiveness. As a result, the United States was spared a controversy over an unpredictable side effect — narcolepsy — that struck people in Finland who got the newer shots.




So whether you're taking the shots because you're scared of the virus, or even more so if you're just scared of what other people will think of you if you don't, I'd urge you to take caution when making that decision for yourself. YOU are the human trials.

Remember the housing market "bubble"?

We've got a "people bubble" right now.



Just as in most areas the "replacement value" put on most houses for homeowners insurance is quite a bit more than the actual values of homes still to this day, the costs to pay health insurance claims and pay out life insurance policies have become far too high compared to the value of an actual single human life.

This is another side-effect of overpopulation.


And if you think I'm bullshitting you when I say they have models out there that have put a dollar value on your life from any factor including age and sex to what's in the darkest part of your medical records, I suggest you do a bit of research on that. They know to the penny what they feel your pinky finger tip is worth if you cut it off on the job site.


At 7 1/2 BILLION people on the planet, we're literally a dime a dozen.

I always wonder when I see quotes without links.

This one I traced back to Politico -
... that was ALSO full of quotes without links!

One of the claims from the article JACK didn't quote was this
Quote:

A massive campaign to vaccinate against the 1976 swine flu flopped when the disease turned out to be mild, but hundreds of people suffered a rare nerve disorder after vaccination.
The REAL story behind the supposed connection between swine flu and the 'rare nerve disorder' was that 25 people developed Guillain–Barré after vaccination - but that 58 UNvaccinated people did was well. And that the risk - that the vaccination seems to have reduced - was 2 in a million. IT'S A PLAGUE I TELL YOU!! Ha ha ha ha ha ...
https://www.livescience.com/21504-swine-flu-vaccine-nerve-disorder-gbs
.html


Meanwhile the claim about an 'additive' in the H1N1 vaccine causing narcolepsy looks like pure bunk ... hogwash ... horse manure.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_swine_flu_pandemic_vaccine


In sum - there's no 'there' there. So much for RCP being a reliable 'source' of facts.

We've got a "people bubble" right now.

Just as in most areas the "replacement value" put on most houses for homeowners insurance is quite a bit more than the actual values of homes still to this day, the costs to pay health insurance claims and pay out life insurance policies have become far too high compared to the value of an actual single human life.

This is another side-effect of overpopulation.


And if you think I'm bullshitting you when I say they have models out there that have put a dollar value on your life from any factor including age and sex to what's in the darkest part of your medical records, I suggest you do a bit of research on that. They know to the penny what they feel your pinky finger tip is worth if you cut it off on the job site.


At 7 1/2 BILLION people on the planet, we're literally a dime a dozen.

What have you done today to earn your place in this crowded world? :)

6ix, life insurance companies lose money when an unexpectedly large number of people die. Insurance companies want you to live forever and keep paying them for insurance. An insurance underwriter wants you to get vaccinated. The longer you live, the more money they make. But, 6ix, your whole argument is that insurance companies are better off the sooner you die. That is a complete misunderstanding of how those companies make a profit.
https://www.sfglife.com/life-insurance/mortgage-protection/

By the way, health insurance companies want you to stay healthy, just the same as life insurance companies want you to live forever. When you are sick, it costs them. That's the reason companies did not sign up people with pre-existing conditions. That is why people lied about their health to these companies. But under current law, health insurance companies can’t refuse to cover you or charge you more just because you have a “pre-existing condition” — that is, a health problem you had before the date that new health coverage starts. These rules went into effect for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

‘Like a Hand Grasping’: Trump Appointees Describe the Crushing of the C.D.C.

What they witnessed during the coronavirus pandemic this year in the C.D.C.’s leadership suite on the 12-floor headquarters here shook them: Washington’s dismissal of science, the White House’s slow suffocation of the agency’s voice, the meddling in its messages and the siphoning of its budget.

We're going to learn so much about Trumps involvements going forward it’s going to anger the country even more. In this case we endured all the negative posts about the C.D.C. from Trump loyalists here, while some of us knew because it was being reported on in real time, and we are independent enough to go where the facts lead, that Trump was destroying the agency from inside and out. A complete betrayal of the American people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_murder

Wikipedia's entry on this topic "Mass Murder" is qualified by this statement:

"This article is about killing of multiple people by individuals and non-state groups. For killing of people by governments, see Homicide by state actors. For broader coverage of this topic, see Massacre."

So the first part of their entry for "mass murder" starts with:

"Mass murder is the act of murdering a number of people, typically simultaneously or over a relatively short period of time and in close geographic proximity.[1][2] The FBI defines mass murder as murdering four or more people during an event with no "cooling-off period" between the murders. A mass murder typically occurs in a single location where one or more people kill several others.[3][4]

A mass murder may be committed by individuals or organizations whereas a spree killing is committed by one or two individuals. Mass murderers differ from spree killers, who kill at two or more locations with almost no time break between murders and are not defined by the number of victims, and serial killers, who may kill people over long periods of time."

- Wikipedia

====================

When I first heard someone categorize the Trump administration's handling of covid with that description, "mass murder" I thought they were stretching a bit, overly sensational, just trying to get attention. But over time...

Wikipedia's entry for "For killing of people by governments, see Homicide by state actors." is:

"By state actors
Killings by government agents may be considered lawful or unlawful according to:

Domestic law
International law to which the government has agreed by treaty
Peremptory norms which are de facto enforced as obligatory on all countries, such as prohibitions against genocide, piracy, and slavery
Types of state killings include:

Capital punishment, where the judicial system authorizes the death penalty in response to a severe crime, though some countries have abolished it completely
Lawful killing during war, such as the killing of enemy combatants
Lawful use of deadly force by law enforcement officers to maintain public safety in emergency situations.
Extrajudicial killing, where government actors kill people (typically individuals or small groups) without judicial court proceedings
War crimes that involve killing (war crimes not authorized by the government may also be committed by individuals who are then subject to domestic military justice)
Widespread, systematic killing by the government of a particular group, which depending on the target, could be called genocide, politicide, or classicide. In some cases these events may also meet definitions of crimes against humanity.
Scholars study especially large homicide events (typically 50,000 deaths in five years or less) as mass killings. Some medium- and large-scale mass killings by state actors have been termed massacres, though not all such killings have been so named. The term democide has been coined by Rudolph Rummel to describe "murder by government" in general, which includes both extrajudicial killings and widespread systematic homicide.

Killings by government agents might be called "murder" or "mass murder" in general usage, especially if seen by the commentator as unethical, but the domestic legal definitions of murder, manslaughter, etc., usually exclude killings carried out by lawful government action."

https://www.mediamatters.org/coronavirus-covid-19/fox-host-people-who-

WILL CAIN (CO-HOST, Fox & Friends Weekend): You walk around in your daily life, how do people treat masks? They don't treat so much as a protective mechanism. They treat it as a virtue signal that they're better, more scientific minded, smarter than you. This is running rampant, and it really is the dividing line in our society now — the elites versus everyone else they view as the little people.
---
First of all, when anyone calls any compassionate or informed action "virtue signaling," they're a fascist stooge.

Fascists are narcissists, so they can't conceive of the idea that a person could care about anyone other than themselves. It just doesn't compute in their tiny, defective minds.

The stupid just oozes out of these trumptards. They are pathetic. They will not be missed.

I get the feeling that another Republican President, Dwight Eisenhower, was not very careful about protecting American lives from predictable medical catastrophes:

Fallout from the Nevada nuclear testing could have led to between 340,000 and 460,000 premature deaths, mostly Americans and mainly through cancer.

If that death toll seems unreal, consider the scale of the radiation involved. Using a figure of 81 million Curies for the radioactive material released at Chernobyl as a baseline, one estimate held that the Nevada-based nuclear testing emitted 12 billion Curies into the atmosphere between 1951 and 1963. That’s the equivalent of nearly 150 Chernobyl disasters—or one a month for more than a decade.

https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/460000-premature-deaths-horror-
was-nuclear-weapons-testing-69512


I hope good old President Eisenhower believed it was a fair tradeoff between intimidating Russia with a display of above ground bomb tests and killing 460,000 Americans with that intimidation.

Color footage of soldiers being exposed to high levels of radiation

Color footage of atomic bomb tests with active duty military personnel at Camp Desert Rock, Nevada Test Site, Nevada. Shows soldiers in foxholes as nuclear detonation occurs nearby; light and shockwaves; blowing dust; soldiers climbing out of foxholes and running towards mushroom cloud. Some of this footage is familiar by virtue of having been seen in the film Atomic Cafe. Many soldiers who were present were exposed to high levels of radiation.

Killing off Americans is something callus Republican Presidents are known to do even though they won't admit to doing it. It is kind of shocking that I have to explain this to you, but Eisenhower let a half million Americans die from radiation because to admit that he was deliberately harming Americans would thwart Eisenhower's military plans. Another Republican President, Ronald Reagan, pulled the same stunt with HIV/AIDS that Trump is pulling with Covid-19. As of 2018, about 700,000 people have died of HIV/AIDS in the U.S., which is about where the Covid-19 total will end.

The Reagan administration's unbelievable response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic

Covid-19 won't be the last disease discovered and Trump won't be the last President who doesn't try hard to prevent deaths.

As cases in the US exceed 17 million, Fox News -- with Tucker Carlson being one of the chief carnival barkers on this one -- is fanning the flames of skepticism around the Covid-19 vaccine.

Carlson openly encouraged people to be suspicious of what he described as the "glitzy" vaccine rollout on Thursday and went on to say, "So, how are the rest of us supposed to respond to a marketing campaign like this? Well, nervously. Even if you're strongly supportive of vaccines, and we are, even if you recognize how many millions of lives have been saved over the past 50 years by vaccines, and we do, it all seems a bit much. It feels false, because it is. It's too slick."

After Tucker Carlson's rant Thursday night on why Americans should be wary of a vaccine that has proven to be over 90% effective against a virus that has killed more than 310,000 Americans, he should have been plastered on the front page of every newspaper in the country. The science denial, vaccine skepticism and falsehoods that are spewed on Fox News pose a clear and present danger to the health of many Americans. This dangerous rhetoric should be framed as such.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro criticized the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Thursday.

He suggested that the vaccine could result in strange side-effects, such as women growing beards and people turning into crocodiles, according to AFP.

Bolsonaro has revealed that he does not intend to be vaccinated.

Despite the president's claim that Brazil is at the "tail end" of the pandemic, the country is currently experiencing a huge surge in new COVID-19 cases.

Brazil has the second-highest coronavirus death toll in the world.

Fewer Jobs, Rising Poverty: Scathing Report Finds Trump Economic Legacy 'One of the Worst Among All US Presidents'
"American businesses and workers are struggling to survive because President Trump refused to listen to advice from public health experts and economists about the best way to handle the coronavirus."
https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/12/19/fewer-jobs-rising-poverty
-scathing-report-finds-trump-economic-legacy-one-worst


When President Donald Trump departs the White House next month, he will leave in his wake a nation devastated by a pandemic he failed to confront and an economic scene characterized by rising poverty, widespread hunger, a looming eviction tsunami, and mass layoffs that have left the U.S. with fewer jobs than when his administration began.

And for that, a scathing new report (pdf) by Democrats on the congressional Joint Economic Committee (JEC) argues, the outgoing president "only has himself to blame."

Released Friday in response to the 2020 Economic Report of the President (pdf), the assessment of Trump's economic performance during his four years in office runs directly counter to the rosy depiction frequently offered by the president himself, who seldom missed an opportunity to boast about the state of the stock market even in the midst of nationwide material suffering brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.

"American businesses and workers are struggling to survive because President Trump refused to listen to advice from public health experts and economists about the best way to handle the coronavirus," Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.), the incoming JEC chair, said in a statement. "In fact, his handling of the coronavirus will hurt the economy for years to come. That is President Trump's economic legacy—one of the worst among all U.S. presidents."

And trust me. I'm not bitching at all about this. The more guinea pigs that go before they try to force it on me the better. I'm just saying that those in charge are going to have a huge cultural reckoning if these vaccines have any negative consequences at all and were seen as being forced upon minorities first when 20/20 hindsight is at play.

It's all fun and games and social justice at this point.

Nope - when someone with your dumb af posting history makes wild claims you need to back them up with cites. Yanno, like: where did get the info in the first place? Can't be too hard for you (like you proved). Unlike JSF that just gets it from the voices in his head.

Did you read the sh*t you posted? Or just the MISLEADING HEADLINES made for easy-to-wank Trumptards ?

I'll wait for your answer before I tear them apart.

Good kwestionz.

The helmet will likely be in the 500 to 1,000 ranje. The mask coud possibly be under 200. A big factor iz volume. If enuf peepl realize vacsinez are more uv a reaction than a defens, the prise for the components woud go way down, especially the UVC LEDz.

I'v herd that the jeneral public iznt going to be getting the vacsine till summer. At the rate the casez are going up, we will be seeing 10,000 deths a day in the US by then.

Think uv it like having a choise: install doorz on your house or stock up on a cleaning product that works well for cat pee, but nothing else. Wut happenz wen racoonz, possumz and stray dogz wok in and start hozing down your wallz and furniture? You gotta get a special cleaner for every different varmint! Then wun day a skunk wanderz in, gets thretend by another vizitor and thats the end uv the house.

Couple thoughts:

- congratulations! Well done - looks impressive - love the ZOL branding.
- practical question: does the visor seal?
- does it come in stealth colors / camo? Wearing a $500+ item that can save one's life could be attractive to bad people. Checkout line item: Helmet Theft Insurance
- FFF.NET forum member discount?
- possible sales pitch: "Send your own helmet to us and we'll convert it!"

Ingenious, Jo - copyright asap.

I agree with the Cap'n though. Get it copyrighted. And don't do that poor man's copyright bullshit trick where you mail the plans to yourself. That's just a TV/Movie trope and when that's all you're presenting as evidence that you invented it against GE's team of lawyers, they're going to eviscerate you.


I don't think you're going to make much money for it with Covid, but since the odds are pretty likely we're going to be spending the rest of our lives with a new and somewhat more deadly virus being released on us every few years after how successful this one went, you're probably bound to make a fortune if that thing really works and you can spend the rest of your days tinkering in your garage without some asshole with half your IQ getting paid 5 times as much as you telling you what to do all day long.

Merry Christmas.

No. Its a close fit with a rubber lip, but getting it to seal woud require a redezine.

Duznt need to for this prototype tho. The fan iz pulling all the air you will breath thru the CUD, so no chans uv any jermz getting sukt in thru small gaps and holez.

They'll certainly forget about this one. And it won't take very long.


But the big boys up top are just getting started. Expect at least one pandemic every 5 years from now on, getting increasingly worse every time.

It seemz to me rite now that there coud be that many more before everybody gets vacsinated. I am also wondering if it coud reach 90%+ population saturation before then.

If nearly everybody gets it before July/August, will the vacsinez bekum useless?

Good thing you're here, JO. Asking that question on Twitter gets you a ban right now. Assuming of course that Haken isn't an intelligence operative, what he still keeps going here for us is priceless. And you're probably the only person left on this board that really deserves it too.


Early estimates were as much as 2,000,000 by the end of the year.

From the beginning, they've also said that there's a good probability that 8x to 10x as many people have had it than have been tested positive and/or died from it too.

At 8x, that's 150,401,320 people.
At 10x, that's 188,001,650 people who've already had it.

With 330,052,960 estimated living in the US in the 3rd quarter of 2020, if it's 10 times as many, we're already at 57% of the population that's had it right now without even taking in any numbers from vaccinations.


According to JH, "Depending how contagious an infection is, usually 50% to 90% of a population needs immunity to achieve herd immunity."



Now, of course... The Media likes to pretend this virus came from space and they give it all sorts of crazy attributes like people don't actually ever develop any immunity even after they've got it. They're already prepping this to go on forever by talking about mutated strains as well.


My guess (and this is another thing I've said since the beginning here) is that we're going to get this particular virus down to a point where it kills no more people on a yearly basis than the flu, and they're going to have yearly covid shot options along side your yearly flu shot options.

And if everybody was being honest about this, that's all this ever was. If we counted Covid deaths the same way we have always counted Flu deaths, and if anybody was honest about the fact that when it's no longer "novel" in relation to human response, Covid is no more dangerous or deadly than the Flu.


This was just a test run though, buddy. Look at what the did to our country and the entire world for a virus that has taken 8 months to knock out 0.1% of the US population even with numbers that were largely just stealing from other causes of deaths for the year to get that high.


This one didn't even put a dent in the birth rate.

The next one doesn't have to be Captain Trips to be a catastrophe. If we were willing to do this to our future over 0.1%, imagine what we'd do to ourselves over just 1%. Then consider that there's going to be zero way to pay for it when that happens.


Patent that mask buddy.

WHO head of emergencies Mike Ryan said the coronavirus pandemic has been severe and affected every corner of the planet. “But this is not necessarily the big one,” he said. “This is a wake-up call. We are learning now how to do things better; science, logistics, training and governance, how to communicate better. But the planet is fragile. We live in an increasingly complex global society. These threats will continue. If there is one thing we need to take from this pandemic, with all of the tragedy and loss, is we need to get our act together. We need to honor those we’ve lost by getting better at what we do every day.”

“The Vastation” - A new short story about a future pandemic that makes COVID-19 look simple.
By Paul Theroux
Dec 29, 2020

A couple of paragraphs:

“Conquest of Mexico,” he said. “Cortés gets all the credit. But the credit should go to another man who landed with him, the poor bastard infected with smallpox. With that nameless, essential man with his fetid breath, Cortés didn’t really need an army. Within a very short time 80 percent of the people in Mexico had died of smallpox. The Aztecs were a pushover, because of this—what?” He turned to me with that face. “Vastation.” His smile was not a smile.

“It was like a miracle. Variola virus.” He seemed to be reminiscing. “An inhaled virus. The Aztecs breathed it, and they died—in the millions. The Spaniards went on to build their own version of hell on earth, but the point is that in the moment of their landing, the vastation promised to purify the land of so much past suffering and oppression.”
