G4 EA H1N1 (novel swine flu): Apocalypse Later?

[Sundiata]

Not again.

[Vassenor]

I believe we already had a thread on this.

[Nakena]

Given current measures in place the chances of this and other flus spreading are somewhat decreased.

Not again...

My bad

Let's hope you're right

i suspect there will be many more and other kinds of plagues emerging, not just in china but everywhere, long before this one is completely solved.
this is due entirely to population pressure on environment, partially encroachment on and loss of habitats required by species diversity, but also excessive rates of consumption of a diversity of resources, also resulting from human population levels. carbon emissions, again do to population and consumption requirements, driving what is called climate change or global warming (terms which have a narrower focus then the actual scope of the issue, though completely valid as to what they characterize).

it really is ultimately the environment, and our impact on it. the irresistable force of population expansion really is unsustainable,
and unsustainable means that unavoidably nature will make 'corrections'. the current plague is yet another 'shot across our bow'.

this is the beginning edge of eco-pocalypse. this is just a warm up though. our species will have undergone major evolutionary changes before the real root of this, will have been ultimately resolved. i have some conjectures as to what forms this may take, but i would have to live an unnaturally long and unlikely life to be around to see them. quite possibly nothing recognizable as today's human species will.

to put it bluntly, we should not be at all surprised that we have a price to pay for disregarding logic and science, nor is one government nor one ideology to blame.

Not to mention the "hygine" standards of China's food industry. They're really disgusting

Ah crap, here we go again.

I had rampant flooding for July. And covid part 2 for august.

I'm thinking I don't like jumanji and we should just finish the game already.

I'm so damned glad that Australia's borders are closed

Mass flooding in Australia happened in Feburary. It ended the drought for most of the country. Mass floods also happened in the USA. Now it's happening in China. **Sideshow Bob stepping on rake noises**

Merged 2 flu threads

So far 2020 has given us: Australian drought/fires, Amazon Fires, Australian floods, Michigan Floods USA, Covid-19, Murder Hornets of North America, George Floyd protests, G4 Flu, India/China Border Disputes, Raising Tensions between China and the rest of the world. And we're only half way through this horrific year. I'm scared

Yeah Australia is quaint and all. But its the ass end of nowhere and doesn't really count for much.

I was thinking like China, Europe, USA or Russia flooding. Somewhere important.

Here we go again.

Viruses sometimes do this naturally - they invade the same cell and swap RNA to create a whole new disease.

[Australian rePublic]

Has there ever, in the history of ever, been two simultaneous pandemics before now?

The post you're quoting also mentions floods in China AND the USA.

Also, cheap shots should be shorter than that. Like they're really easy for you.

Impossible. A "great tiktok" doesn't exist.

The industrial revolution was a mistake smhhhhh

We should never have entered the Neolithic age.

We never should've left the Paleolithic.
