It’s entirely possible for there to be a “boy who cried wolf” situation but for an actual deadly epidemic. Just saying 🫣
Discussion
There's always the possibility.
Yeah. Those germs can mutate much more quickly than animal immune systems. Contagious diseases can be very serious. And we now have some portion of an entire generation who are like “everything that comes out of the CDC or WHO is a lie, no masks, no isolation, no shutdowns under any circumstances”
Just seems a little sketchy if too many people are absolutists about all of those types of things at once, for long enough
Fair, but being right after clearly being alarmist and totalitarian has it's consequences.
It still doesn't change how you should approach such a threat. Waiting until the authorities declare an emergency to prepare is silly.
1. Fear is the worst emotion you can employ to deal with any threat
2. Your innate immune system is powerful & adaptive if it is not suppressed by toxic crap
3. Being resilient to the breakdowns in the supply of food, water, energy & basic necessities (eg soap, toilet paper) is useful
4. Being away from densely populated areas or being able to withdraw from them quickly is useful
5. Having anti microbial tools available should you or your loved ones be infected is useful. Colloidal silver, ivermectin, antibiotics, iodine & chlorine dioxide are all useful in many situations to varying degrees.
Wise words as usual brisket! 🤙
