    blob-no-thoughts Surly the goverment won't let it run rampant and unchecked. I mean, who would risk letting a rapidly mutating virus that is spreading between multiple different mammalian species go unchecked.

      People who think the democrats would "follow the science" when a pandemic emerges are in for a surprise.

      We'll be told to wash our hands.

      We've had years to upgrade air filtration and ventilation in public buildings and offices and have barely done shit. If we got people to wear n95s in public we could stop most of the damage, but they absolutely will not spend the "political capital" to do so.

      If anything, we'll encourage the spread to achieve "herd immunity".
