Pandemic 2.0?

I've yet to see anything good come out of Africa, save an international flight home if you are someone unfortunate enough to have had to go there ;) It's the Petri dish for all things unwanted.

So you dont like for example:

Coffee, you probably only drink water right
Mathematics, I guess Brexit supports never did maths so can see that one
Anything that uses cobalt, such as mobile phones
Nandos, foreign muck?
Heart transplants, first one was done in SA

I couldn't be bothered to list more. I suspect you wouldn't change your view anyway right.

Shouldn't you be done the fictional arms by now?

He was on the side of alarmist, with some grain of truth, when it came to COVID. The study he is pointing to seems to be looking more at a what if it became aerosolised scenario rather than suggesting it has become aerosolised in every day situations.

I'm not seeing anyone else saying it is normally aerosol airborne to that extent, yet.
 
From everything I've read it doesn't seem like we should be that worried about it. However, this does not mean we shouldn't take it seriously. We should nip it in the bud and not give it a chance to become a bigger problem.

Please God I hope I don't have to eat my words :( . Give us a break.
 
I'm not sure you ever ask a question just out of interest. Anyway, I took a figure from the OP to show why there might be different views on the level of risk.

Eh? It seems pretty relevant to the risk - I was wondering is that figure the result, in part, of access to modern healthcare or lack thereof - it's surely easy to see why that might be relevant?

Quelle surprise as you try and read something into my post that wasn't there. It was an illustration of how the risk might be viewed differently based on what was posted in the OP. It was not, and was never intended to be, a detailed analysis of the transmissibility of monkeypox or the likelihood of severe consequences if you do.

I think reading into something that wasn't there is what you did in reply to my quesiton tbh...it seemed like a pretty logical question to ask re: a stat like this esepcially when individual risk re: pandemic stuff can be hyped a bit. I don't see why that's odd.
 
First confirmed case in Australia with a traveller from the UK. Also, 20 confirmed cases now but potentially a lot more undetected...

The 2020's are shaping up to be a really **** decade. :)
 
That's a bit harsh and a massive sweeping generalisat

Diamonds ? Cobalt ? Platinum ? to name just a few resources

They are inert minerals and ores, I was talking about living organisms like HIV, monkey pox, Dengue fever, chikungunya, Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever, anthrax, blah blah. The place is a Petri dish for viruses and disease, many of the inhabitants eat diets akin to those of wild beasts.
