      I still think nuclear annihilation is probable, once the effects of the two things you mentioned really kick into high gear. It's a fuckin' miracle we aren't already dead, honestly.

      Yeah I'm sure a rarely lethal or even hospitalizable illness for which vaccines already exist and are increasingly available in more and more countries is gonna end humanity somehow.

      What is it with people constantly predicting the end of the world? Is it the "easier to imagine etc etc" thing? Lately like 80% of this forum is "x will totally end humanity again, holy shit", it's weird and grating.

      Having flashbacks to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the aside where all the "undesirables" were sent away on a colony ship and their home world succumbed to a pandemic because all of the people who sanitized telephone receivers as a job were on the colony ship.

    Typical COVID case would infect 3 others, typical Delta case infects 6.

    That is a factor of 2x.

        Yeah shits' fucked and gonna get worse, buckle up. If COVID don't get ya, climate change will probably render uninhabitable the place you call home.

        If an escape variant manages to take hold, the death toll under Biden will make Trump look like he was the “believe the science” guy all along.

        He’s probably gonna lead into holiday season telling everyone it’s time to take their masks off and be with family as “Delta is over folks, god bless our scientists, now please remember to get your booster shot”.

    Load is whatever, biggest issue is it requires higher mask-wearing percentage :/

      This variant turns unvaccinated people into covid fumigators so probably, yeah. Countries that had a handle on things for most of the pandemic, like Vietnam, are struggling to contain this shit.

    I have no idea how it can be that high without murdering every unvaccinated human in five weeks. I guess I don't really get the significance of viral load if 1000X increase only increases lethality and contagiousness a few times over.
