The former health chief has said a bird flu pandemic is a matter of when, not if, and would be much more deadly than Covid.

    A world wide pandemic and lockdown might as well be what saves the planet from further warming… or at least bide us some time.

      Ending fossil fuels and animal agriculture are pretty good options.

            Broooo whyyy.

            I didn’t know the innuendo, I literally thought it innocently like a girl beaver making dams.

                This is exactly what was running through my head, and made it so funny.

                I stand by my humor…your downvotes just show me that nobody here can laugh at absurdity.

      Unlikely. The COVID lockdowns only decreased carbon emissions ~8%.

        A 30% mortality rate would probably do a lot more than that over the long term. Especially if it’s the coal rolling dude bros who get it from raw milk.

        Plus it was an 8% reduction we never would have gotten otherwise. I’ll take it!

      As of right now we’d only have to quarantine the US… just like we might do in November

        But inaction, conspiracy and stupidity would ensure a global spread like last time. (Take your pick for birdflu/November)
