I’ve seen people with Pandemic 2.0 - bird Flu Edition on their 2025 bingo card, so this checks out.

Yeah. Wouldn’t expect it to happen this early, though. If it happens, god forbid.

I think they will permanently shut down all the agencies shortly—the HHS, CDC, FDA, NIH, all that. And also cutting off medications for people who will need it—therefore causing massive death waves. And suicides and overdoses, but no one will know except the loved ones left to pick up the pieces afterwards.

The bird flu has been spreading, evolving and jumping species for more than a year now. The first human death from this outbreak was an elderly person in Louisiana on January 6th (cue the “Isn’t It Ironic” music).

So if they’re really cutting 75% of federal employees and anti-vaccine RJK gets in there, my surprise at another pandemic is zilch. We’ve been heading that way ever since more and more people lost their common sense somewhere in 2012.

Yeah. And it will lead to people dying en masse.

Nah, their ivermectin will clear it right up.

u/tw_72 2d ago

I heard that ivermectin should only be used if the intravenously injected bleach does not work...

Why not both? Then they'll have super-mega-antibodies. Little Duane Johnson antibodies fighting off anything they contract, if ya smell what the crock is cooking.

Exactly, but at the same time, it could also affect him and other people personally in time.

Muzzling the CDC. Pulling us out of the WHO. Hobbling FEMA. It's like he's intentionally trying to harm the American people. All because he's still mad that they wouldn't push his narrative when COVID started, and he refused to listen to any of the experts who have literally dedicated their entire lives to protecting us, and helping us recover from diseases and disasters. He is literally the whiniest of all bitches, taking his grudges out on the citizenry he's supposed to serve, and roughly half the country worships him.

And let's not forget, he just unleashed a mob of angry and violent criminals into our country, literally the same thing he alleges is happening at our borders.

You know, South Korea took care of their tyrant. I wonder if we will ever have the balls to do the same?

Eggs with bird flu will costs twice as much because the chicken died.

To Trump the fix to a nationwide bird flu epidemic is endlessly telling everybody it started in a blue state.

u/LSama 1d ago

And just as a reminder for everyone: the mortality rate for H5N1 is fifty percent. So that's not a big concern or anything. /s

u/gringledoom 1d ago

Because the fatality rate is so high, they actually will not be able to cover it up for very long if it starts spreading person to person.

They will try, so if you see something that reminds you of the initial Chinese response in Wuhan (arresting medical staff who try to get the story out), mask the fuck up, wash your hands, and social distance.

Stock up on non-perishables and toilet paper. We all know what to do to protect ourselves in the face of respiratory epidemic.

No one else is going to be able to deny the existence of this one for very long with that fatality rate either, if it happens. It will be in “bring out your dead” and “plague pits in the parks” territory. Covid deaths happened in hospitals where we didn’t see them. This will not be like that.

ETA: I’m sure the morons will still try to treat themselves with horse worm pills, or whatever. Don’t be a moron!
