The United States is fucked if you get another pandemic, isn't it? They already did everything wrong on purpose last time but now it seems worse. It's as if they want to maximize death by preventable disease.
We are extremely fucked even without a pandemic
They’re rich. They want any kind of disaster they can get. So they can buy up more shit for cheap while the peasants struggle to survive.
The United States is fucked.
Ftfy.
We're already shambling slowly into an antiviral resistant H5N1 pandemic at the moment. It has the potential to make COVID look trivial if (and at this point almost certainly when) it kicks off. We had an opportunity to contain it when it was only working its way through our livestock industries but the CDC and Dept of Agriculture decided that "Don't ask don't tell" was a better policy for the dairy industry.
