    This is going to be the next "why did we think drinking and breathing lead was okay!" crisis in like 30-50 years. Clearly avoidable, so easy to work through this now, immediately, and yet it doesn't benefit capital to do so, so they won't.

      I really don't think it's gonna take that long. Not that we're gonna do anything about it, but another 5-10 years of infections should really start causing havoc.

        We already see effects of it now but it will just keep getting worse and worse. I have the same timeline as you before things get un-ignorable. This was how it was for HIV/AIDS in the US too.

          it's 100 orders of magnitude bigger than HIV because you inhale it every time you breathe around someone
