The capitalist class has already conditioned people to be traumatized by the idea of pandemic prevention methods by their handling of COVID
This new bird flu will not be contained and will be allowed to spread unchecked. It can be spread by the pigeons on your street, and the poorly prepared fast food chicken slop treats that capitalist countries love.
And COVID is still here killing people.
This is going to be the new normal for a capitalism dominated world. As the environment crumbles we are going to see pandemic after pandemic as animal populations succumb the the stress of environmental degradation and new diseases emerge.
And with each new variant of disease our bodies are left damaged and more susceptible.
Disease compounding on top of disease.
Welcome to your capitalist utopia.
covid killed seven million people. maybe the bird flu will kill twice as many. climate change is going to kill hundreds that.
covid is still killing and disabling, bub. it is possible- necessary- to care about both things. i get the feeling you do not.
of course i care about both things, but if you want to be doing doomposting i see no reason to limit yourself to the little doom in front of you when the largest possible doom is right around the corner. certainly isn't like climate change is going to make pandemics less likely
I am glad to hear it, and i’m sorry for jumping on you if that’s the case. i have been burned a little too much by comrades online and especially irl not giving a shit about covid that I have a hair trigger to things like this.
