Time to stock up on N95 masks, toilet paper, canned chicken soup, and ammo?

I hope this one will eat through all the idiots we had in the last pandemic.
Humanity can do with a good culling.

>>1181673The CDC should allow quick development of test kits instead of hampering development with slow-moving bureaucracy. We should kickoff an OWS-style vaccine production operation *now* so that they're ready if it becomes a pandemic. It is quite unfortunate that medical professionals burned a lot of their credibility by playing politics. It would be a lot better if they had stuck to the facts and were transparent about their epistemic status.

>>1181660I'm really, really,
really hoping that my fellow Americans ignore this completely... instead of us getting terrified and then seeking to enact vengeance upon the racial and religious minorities perceived as having created and then spread this disease like we did with Covid-19 (as well as those in charge deliberately nuking the economy and otherwise taking other horrible measures like we did, which made the pandemic times worse).
As terrible as the coronavirus was (and is), most Americans, including myself, basically got bored and tired of even having debates on it soon enough. Yet alone trying to come up with economic and political acts of revenge. We just want to live our lives. And have always wanted that. Ignorance is bliss. And I'm honestly a lot (and I mean fucking
a lot) grateful for that.
So, fingers crossed for no mask mandates, no attempted mass shootings at any Jewish community events, no vaccine programs, no social media celebrities gaining the status of Gods and Goddesses, no attempted rapes, no lockdowns, and just none of that shit.
Let's all breathe easy and completely ignore this.

>>1181705We stopped vaccinating because the disease was basically eradicated.
then allremaining vaccines have been lost and we're just keeping our fingers crossed that it never comes back.

>>1181706Americans are not intelligent enough to respond to disease epidemics in a way that isn't devastatingly harmful. And causes more hurting than the diseases. We just aren't. We are what we are.
The fact that we believe for the most part that Covid-19 was a biological weapon invented by either Chinese or Jewish scientists hiding out on American soil and elsewhere... that kind of speaks for itself.
If we were talking about a more evolved people with a better social culture such as the Canadians, the British, the Germans, the Irish, or whatever, then you'd have a point.

Tbh I don’t care about any of these pandemics or outcries anymore. If I get infected I’ll stay inside so nobody else gets infected. And if I die I die. Whatever.

First of all /townhall/ is one board over, second of all we had a bird flu scare in the late 2000s and clearly nothing came of it.
COVID-level biological threats come once in a lifetime. Before that you have to go back to Spanish flu in 1919 or so. It will not happen again for a while. And if it does I will scream and cry and develop five more split personalities.
>>1181705>>1181706The smallpox vaccine is still being produced for scientific research.
Even if it wasn't, the entire reason it's called a 'vaccine' in the first place is because a smart cookie called Edward Jenner figured out over two centuries ago that milkmaids didn't die of smallpox because they had already fought off a related but far less deadly disease called cowpox, which they got from contact with infected cows. He then went around 'vaccinating' ('vacca' being Latin for 'cow') people by deliberately giving them cowpox so that they didn't die of smallpox later. Smallpox is going to be a non-issue as long as cowpox exists.
See, high school history classes wasn't a complete waste of time.

>>1181817Curriculums are weird to think about. What's common knowledge to one generation in one country might be obscure knowledge among other generations or in other countries.
We had to study the history of medicine and surgery in high school along with Hitler's rise to power. But I can't see an American history curriculum being like that. America is a young country that frankly comes across as less stuffy than the UK does, so I can't imagine American teens being taught about Hippocrates and Galen.

>>1181818I never took up History in school, or at least remember most of it.
