    Family looking at me like I'm some prophet when they heard this news that I was telling them about for a while. Viruses mutate and we gonna be doing this bit for at least a few more years.

        Told them at best maybe 4 or 5 years so as to not depress them. They also weary about my comments, rants, about how the U.S gonna collapse. To their credit they ain't mad at me just 😶. Don't know how to describe it.

        Yeah, but it probably won't be such a big deal in the future. For example the spanish flu still exists as one of the flu strains that go around every year and it doesn't matter nearly as much as it did during the initial outbreak

      If we keep doing this bit with the new strain then America won't last a few more years.

      I'm gonna start planning when/how to bail on this shithole. Canada won't be any better but at least I can be with family while things burn.

        Mind you no expert just slight doomer. As in I'm not wallowing in grief just preparing for worse. Been looking into gardening for stress relief and a bit more food but also making friendly with neighbors even if I hate them. When times get tougher gonna have to band together with people we don't like.

        Also thinking if wise to bulk up when times are good. Here in California though the main concern for me is water.

        Good luck in Canada with family though, the only family I care about is here in U.S.

      I'm still fearing we'll see a mutation that actually manages to ignore the vaccine while still being just as lethal before this is through. Especially given the amount of cases in western countries and as vaccines roll out and the evolutionary conditions for the virus to persist such mutations increases.
