    When you guys are ready to step over into the dark side of this pandemic...
    Google....”Event 201 Bill Gates”

    Sounds familiar. :eek:
    The Event 201 scenario
    Event 201 simulates an outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic. The pathogen and the disease it causes are modeled largely on SARS, but it is more transmissible in the community setting by people with mild symptoms.

    The disease starts in pig farms in Brazil, quietly and slowly at first, but then it starts to spread more rapidly in healthcare settings. When it starts to spread efficiently from person to person in the low-income, densely packed neighborhoods of some of the megacities in South America, the epidemic explodes. It is first exported by air travel to Portugal, the United States, and China and then to many other countries. Although at first some countries are able to control it, it continues to spread and be reintroduced, and eventually no country can maintain control.

    There is no possibility of a vaccine being available in the first year. There is a fictional antiviral drug that can help the sick but not significantly limit spread of the disease.

    Since the whole human population is susceptible, during the initial months of the pandemic, the cumulative number of cases increases exponentially, doubling every week. And as the cases and deaths accumulate, the economic and societal consequences become increasingly severe.

    The scenario ends at the 18-month point, with 65 million deaths. The pandemic is beginning to slow due to the decreasing number of susceptible people. The pandemic will continue at some rate until there is an effective vaccine or until 80-90 % of the global population has been exposed. From that point on, it is likely to be an endemic childhood disease.

    I hope it helps. When we're trying to make things that measure 0.236 psi full scale to an accuracy of 0.000165 psi, it's kinda hard. If the wind blows, somebody opens a door or farts, we can tell.
    Ooooh! Micro changes in air pressure. When do you start making the Alien detectors???

    Massachusetts Institute of Tech article. Accessible to the masses and disconcerting:
    https://www.technologyreview.com/s/615370/coronavirus-pandemic-social-distancing-18-months/


    Disconcerting, no question. How someone so ignorant could be allowed to publish such irresponsible drivel is indeed disconcerting.

    inane article said:
    This isn’t a temporary disruption. It’s the start of a completely different way of life.

    I'll just leave that right there. Kinda sums up just how ridiculous that article truly is in just one snippet.
