    I was thinking.....


    H1N1 (2009/2010)
    US cases ~ 60.8 million
    US deaths : 22,469

    Panic level : chilled

    Then:

    Corona (2020)
    US cases ~ a few thousand
    US deaths : a few hundred

    Panic level : mass hysteria & economic collapse


    Why the change of attitude ??

    Picture a graph where your x axis is lethality and y axis is rate of transmission, then break it into quadrants. Upper left is chickenpox, low lethality but super rapid spread. Lower right is ebola. Low transmission but high lethality. The upper right quadrant is the worst one to be in and that’s where you’d find measles, polio and smallpox. Lower left is the best case scenario then.

    That’s where H1N1 can be found.

    This coronavirus is still unknown but best research puts it somewhere on that diagonal line that goes through lower left to upper right. Problem is, they don’t know exactly where yet. They currently have it somewhere between smallpox/measles/polio and h1n1. Like right in the middle. Moderate spread, moderate lethality. Considerably worse than h1n1 in both regards.

    So consider h1n1 to be kinda like a practice exam they failed because they were too chill about it. And maybe this virus will be yet another practice test for an even nastier one.

    Personally I’m glad they’re taking some guidance from prior epidemics. I mean h1n1 killed that many people?! Sheeesh


    Let's say, for the sake of argument, that somebody was in the woods over the weekend doing something they shouldn't have been doing.....


    Where would poison oak fit into that little graph of yours ??

    You remind me of a member...who doesn't seem to be active anymore

    Yeah I’m probably her

    Nah, you definitely have your own unique feel to you... Though oddly familiar... You just belong here lol

    Maybe you never got to know the other girl? 😂

    I'm glad that you're not her; she was weird.

    Why is my stupid retail job, owned by a huge & thriving corporation and which does not sell food, medicine, or cleaning supplies still open. We had a little over a hundred transactions all day yesterday. And they still wanted credit card apps. The world might burn but these *kitten* are still gonna profit

    Eta: and WHY are people still coming out, putting their babies in shopping carts, and buying easter decor?

    in the final days, as my internet slows to a crawl, and the ronaragezombies are closing in, it will have been my pleasure to post memes about the dying of the earth with you fine people

    and personally, i plan on my final post being a picture of the earth with a crying michael jordan gif superimposed over it, probably even have a little crying laughing emoji watermark in the corner too.

    It better include a cat. After all, the internet was invented for cat memes.

    Uh, if you sell yarn, I'd still show up because I need something to whittle away the numerous hours of boredom while I'm stuck at home with an 8 year old. :lol:

    Seriously, though.. Easter decor? Nah, can wait.

    I picked up a book I had reserved months ago at the library. I had totally forgotten what it was about. I started reading it last night and it's called "A Beginning at the End".

    It's about society after a pandemic wiped out 70% of the US's population. (And presumably the world although I'm not that far into the book.)

    Timely, huh? :|

    Right??🤣 I tried to catch it at 1 step but I couldn’t. I did go past that though! We’ll see how it goes today. This morning, Audrey is on my trail. I may have another contender but this person has neither confirmed or denied they wanted to actually challenge me. So.....scared maybe.🐓

    at least Melissa is just laying around on her sofa....
