Do you think the government will cover it up like covid 20?

Damn, that's must have been a really good cover up, I haven't even heard about that one until now!

    I assume they're referring to how the US government was very slow in responding to the pandemic, downplaying the severity.

    That was covid 19.

    Covid 20 is news to me.

    I’m not afraid of the hentai virus but, I’m worried about Hanta virus. There was one person infected with in my city.

    Though, not worried for another pandemic (yet).

    no. its not airborn. also the government did not cover up covid they were ignorant about it. trump literally withdrew people looking for viruses in china like that in like october/november of 2019. like early nov the last of em where flying back to the states. could not have been worse if you did actively do it on purpose. Absolute perfect timing to fuck everyone.

    I assumed you meant covid19 not being understood in early 2020. if you actually mean covid20 that makes no sense as it would have to be an independent cross over with no relation to covid19 which is so spectacularly unlikely. mutations of covid19 is still covid19. Its just variations and they get their little name addons.

    Not at all.

    And not of the hantavirus, either, even back in the days when I rode horses and spent a fair amount of time in environments with lots of rodents.

    No. We should be reasonably prepared for a pandemic. It's when everyone has forgotten they happen we should start worrying.

    I haven't been afraid of the hantavirus since learning about it from an episode of X-Files and then reading up on it afterward because it sounded scary as fuck.

    Why is Lemmy so obsessed with this? Other than news about the cruise ship, I've only see people on Lemmy talking about it. It's not a common disease. Unless you are on that cruise ship, you don't have much to worry about.

    There would be so much less traffic on my way to work! I bet the lines at theme parks would be a lot shorter, too. Probably wouldn't be a housing crisis anymore.

    Only downside is, you know, half of the population of the entire planet dying painfully and the survivors guilt their families would feel after having to watch it. And cheering it on is like, unfathomably cruel. But those are just details.

    Thats not gonna happen but to be sustainable it woul have to be way lower. When we first started overshooting what the earth could provide in 1970 we where a bit less than that and we have decimated so much we need to have actual healing take place. We honestly should keep it at a billion and get away from the whole factory farming thing. The fertilizer from oil was in the early 1900's and we were below 2 billion at that point.

    If only it was the top 8 millions (Bezos, Musk, ...) we would live much better.
