Well, here it is folks. We all know what happens when the USA is tasked with controling an outbreak. It was nice seeing you in person for the last 18 months. I will now prepare for another lock down.

Can you imagine? If the USA ends up with another deadly epidemic with rampant community spread?

I really can't imagine people tolerating another lockdown, especially given that most people now think that the last set of lockdowns didn't achieve much of anything in the end. I expect that we're just going to let the next pandemic rip and take no measures at all.

Yep. We in the west never even had a thorough lockdown and the capitalists acted like it was the end of the world. The Covid pandemic is still raging, killing people and leaving the survivors with debilitating Long Covid, but the capitalists just want to let it rip because actually addressing the pandemic requires too much change. Some of us will die, but that's a price the overlords are willing to pay to keep themselves on top.

There's no way they take bird flu seriously
