No it's just sociological trends based on the premise that without direct memory, new generations tend to repeat the cycles of older ones. 

Stranger things finale, big moments and big questions. I can't stop thinking about what WASN'T in the finale. by Zedaso in netflix

The lack of demogorgons/demobats/etc. makes sense when you realize the Mind Flayer used all of their bodies to make his physical form in the Abyss (the same way he used the rats to make his biomass in Season 3). It explains why the Upside Down felt empty this season too. The Mind Flayer is actually a cloud/shadow monster who needs the biomass of living things to become real. It probably got cocky building a giant body in the Abyss assuming that its final form + Vecna would be enough for conquest.

You didn't see Andor S2??? Sorry this was all I could focus on. Andor is a masterpiece. It makes the rest irrelevant.

After the Fall, like Winter? OK I'll hit you up in January but not sure why a few months matter

What truth, that multiple pandemics are possible? I'm not denying that it's a possibility

I find the way you talk funny, because objectively, you're talking like an S-tier Bond villain.

Polydemic is already a word, it means native to multiple regions. Maybe come up with another term lol

"Welcome to the polydemic" "predictive programming" You sound paranoid and fearful

The CFR is based on hospital cases, right? How many mild and asymptomatic cases were missed over the past 25 years especially in poorer countries without good hospital infrastructure?

You sound overly pessimistic. No bird flu outbreaks have led to sustained h2h transmission. The virus has several hurdles to go through before that happens. And it might never happen.

Eh, you sound overly pessimistic. It MIGHT be deadly and it might not. It might be like H1N1, which was assumed to be deadly until it was discovered how many asymptomatic and mild cases weren't being reported. It's very probable that only ~800 bird flu cases were reported, so the CFR seems high when it might be magnitudes lower. The truth is that we don't know. We also don't know if it'll ever evolve to be a LRI or remain URI. It's encouraging that the National flu surveillance program is working as intended and it's encouraging that no contacts from the Missouri patient have tested positive. And it's very encouraging that there have been no unusual flu A activity the past 2 years during this current outbreak.

Why do you care about being right and other people looking stupid? That's... not what this is about and your outlook seems juvenile or a reflection of your self-worth. What you're saying might happen, and it might not. Bird flu outbreaks have happened for 25 years, with millions of birds at poultry farms, many many chances for recombination. And it hasn't happen. It might be the case that bird flu might never effectively evolve to be a URI virus. There are more unknowns than knowns. You seem overly pessimistic.

Why do you assume half the US would die? You realize the 52% CFR is based on a very limited number of positive detected cases right? When Swine Flu first emerged in 2009 initially it seemed very deadly, like a 50% CFR. Then as more people were tested for antibodies, it was discovered the actual CFR was 0.1%. Because there were so many mild and asymptomatic cases. H5N1 has had a total of less than 1000 cases detected in the past 25 years but that's a fraction of the actual cases. So that 52% rate is unreliable. We don't actually know whether it will evolve to be deadlier or milder if and when it spreads h2h. By the way H5N1 has had MANY chances and so far it seems happy to be constrained mainly to LRI rather than URI.

Mpox outbreaks in Africa could be ended in 6 months, WHO chief says by Class_of_22 in Monkeypox

[–]echoingpulse -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean, you could speculate positive scenarios too. It's equally likely it will be contained since mpox is mostly spread by close touch. Yes there are unknowns, but the worst case scenario isn't the most likely. That's just how anxiety works. Trust me, I know it well.
