Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What are the odds a non us country invents it this time and our government makes it illegal to import into the US. Or even if it is invented here, RFK will make sure nobody can get it
No one will get it for free* more likely than not at all
It wasn’t the US last time but ok. Neither of the two big MRNA vaccine producers were US.
Tell me you’re USanian without telling me.
Ah, I can see how my wording makes it sound like I was implying that. I actually work in healthcare and am acutely aware of the decline in the US pharmaceutical industries ability to innovate relative to other countries
That’s not a bright side for their neighbours.
Well it’s the only bright side so take it or leave it
Thank you for giving me hope for the future.
It's too dangerous. The world has to take this seriously.
i always check to see if human-to-human transmission has occurred yet or not.. worried of the day when it will. i hope it doesn't happen. we are not going to survive anything deadlier than COVID. we are still in the midst of the pandemic and people act as though shit went back to normal. i hear "back during covid" all the time in conversations and have to dissociate so i don't correct them with an emotional outburst. there's simply no way we make it through a virus with double-digit mortality rates without long-term societal and financial damage.
back during covid
Few people mean this literally. We all know covid is still around and will be quite possibly forever. What it means, depending on context is "during covid lockdowns" or "during covid restrictions" or really just 2020.
It's not a pandemic anymore, it's endemic now. Get both your shots every year now. Covid isn't the new flu, it's flu's new buddy.
I just got it last week again, thanks to the vaccine it was just like the first time, 1 shitty day, 1 horrible day and then it was gone
Covid isn't really flu (or more specific in_flu_enza) his new buddy, but more like flu's new competitor. Agree with you on all the rest, get your vaccines people.
The Canadian teen mutated to a human to human form, but she did not spread it forward.
It’s coming. We just keep rolling the dice.
thanks for letting me know. i just read about it now. damn, that is alarming. at least it did not spread or come into existence.. that is not good.
I wonder if someone with gif skills can make one of the final scene in that movie where Bond is standing there waiting for the missiles to hit and one missile is tariffs , another is the next pandemic, and another is a breakdown of the geopolitical world order.
I wish I had the skill but I don't.
What could possibly go wrong(er than with covid) with the host country slashing science and health organisations while their chief health moron suggests to just drink milk?...
Carnists really believe that they can build endless torture/murder factories pouring out oceans of blood, shit, and disease without any consequences.
Okay we had flu from bats, now we have flu from birds. Which othet animals fly? Could be important to predict the next flu.
Swine flu
I’ll believe it when pigs fly
"Should I, ahh, write the check, sir?"
"No."
That's a symptom? Crazy
Bat -> Bird -> Bug
Don’t look up
The health ministry said the risk to the general population from the virus was considered low.
They'll say that until a long time after the risk is no longer low.
There's no particular reason to believe this was spread human-human.
“Young child in Mexico has novel influenza” was Swine Flu’s start. So I always get a little nervous reading about it.
The slightly better news is that compared to COVID, influenza sucks at spreading, so our non-pharmaceutical interventions are liable to stall it out pretty well.
No, but it’s undoubtedly coming.
close border to US please. Stop this spread from US reaching the globe.
Rest in peace.
She's not dead.
Not yet. I guarantee she'll die some day.
This virus has incredibly high fatality compared to others, she was still hospitalized in critical condition in Durango when the news broke yesterday. If she does survive then I'll be filled with surprise and joy, but I'm not betting on it. People need to know the stakes at hand.
