5D chess: the democrats saw the looming recession and H5N1 pandemic and threw the election on purpose to leave the Republicans holding the bag (it will backfire)
Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Are Recessions Real Hahahaha My Brother In Christ Just Plan Your Economy Like My Brother In Christ Stop Sucking At Running Things Haha
Unironically this. Recessions are not blameless and you can and should blame a shit economy on the people in charge. Even if they’re following “standard practice” in the society we live in, that standard practice is bad at solving the problem.
My brother in Christ just plan your economy
On the people in charge in the moment, or the people in charge over the prior 10 years?
I mean, both
I genuinely think this is a possibility. They didn’t want to be the ones holding the bag when shit fell apart
Continued falling*

Y'all are masking, right?
Purple line is H5 and it's almost alone, holy fuck 
Idk maybe it's spurious somehow, I don't really know anything about like... epidemic detection through viral nucleic acids in wastewater but since we don't have a functioning public health system........
View for yourself: https://data.wastewaterscan.org/
Are there any H5 influenza variants that circulate in humans? Ofc can't know if it is some kind of deadly human-adapted avian flu without more info. Or idk, does any significant amount of agricultural runoff end up in city wastewater?
I can't find this graph on the page you linked?
Edit: nevermind figured it out
Am glad, would have stuck the whole ?chart=ljsljas;fjsa;lejfalsflkafahduashf URL parameter stuff on the end so the link would preserve settings but I wasn't sure that wouldn't dox me somehow cuz its not obvious what that actually is lol
probably a good call haha
Hexbear right once again.
Influenza is mostly spread through water droplets, so masks should still help! Wear ya masks!
It may also spread by touching objects with droplets on them and then touching your face (we touch our faces a lot) so also consider carrying hand sanitizer and washing your hands more often.
If we get double pandemics with this one, you will *really * want to have some stockpiles as the mortality would likely be higher and you would probsbly see runs on pantry staples, masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer. Oh and preemptive runs on gas and toilet paper if you are in the US.
Obviously mutual aid is a better way to stockpile, but it also doesn't hurt to store enough rice and beans to feed you for a month just in case. Like an insurance policy for, "what if I didn't want to go outside for a month for good reasons?"
What we really want to know is the IFR. How is the vaccine coming? Still overdue for a flu pandemic.
