I was only musing about something like that the other day.
Look how badly the world has handled a virus that has a fairly low mortality rate.
When(not if) a virus arrived that has a mortality rate of 50-90% we could be well and truly f+++ed.
Will there will still be people that refuse to follow the guidelines and carry on like nothing is happening?
I've sometimes wondered if it was a horrible flesh eating disease, would we be more careful and I think we would. Unfortunately whether people say it out loud or not, I think there is still a pervading sense of "it's just a flu" and for some unspeakable people "it's only the elderly dying and sure they've lived their lives". There just isn't a healthy fear about it, if you pardon my choice of words. If we were actually faced with the prospect of our faces melting off at Woodies there'd be a lot less people needing decking

Like Necrotising Fasicitis, we've antibiotics for it, though it can kill if gone to far0 -

It is a virus to fear though. Long covid. Blood clots, teeth falling out. Loss of taste and smell for months. I don't care if it's not happening to everybody, for the fact it even happens is enough for me.0 -

Just human nature I suppose. If it’s not an immediate threat to your life and you’ve a huge chance of recovering if you do catch it of course people aren’t going to be as concerned than if it was more lethal.0 -

I know, right! really hate posts like that, not only will that not happen but that poster comes across as excited by the prospect. Way too many people on here with that mindset since March. We’re going through a bit of darkness before the light. Vaccines Baby! miserable folks can step aside, I’ll get it quicker.0 -
