An unknown illness kills over 50 people in part of Congo with hours between symptoms and death
-
I apologize in advance for my ignorance. But why do people like to eat bats? Are they particularly nutritious? Or is it a matter of access to foods and resources? Are they really yummy? And why didn’t Ozzy contract any weird deadly disease?
-
Because they need to eat.
Why do people eat chicken if there's a risk of getting salmonella?
-
Yeah no thanks, you have a nice day
-
Can't we just have a regular old plague that kills like 30% of the population and not that sigma "I don't really want to kill you" bullshit?
Covid was so annoying, because it killed too few people for many to care. I don't want that again.
-
You cook it...
-
Yet thousands of people get salmonella every year from under cooked chicken and some die of it. Eating bat is the same, cook it correctly and it's safe.

Guess I need to change my dinner plans for tonight.
-
Fuck yes! A deadly pandemic without long drawn out suffering? Sign me up!

Why not eat something nice and normal instead of a bat though? I mean FFS
-
Lol wtf makes a bat not normal?
-
So i know (hope) this is satire. I'm also aware that people latch on to dumb things and propagate them, like Flat Earth and the like. So I'll clarify that with a 2% morality rate there were literally dead bodies stacking up in the streets in NYC.
The only reason the right wing propaganda machine was successful in misinforming rural areas was because the administrations efforts to reduce/slow the spread of COVID, haphazard as it was, turned out to be successful in preventing mass deaths like that seen in NYC. And it was a close thing.
The thing is people are so goddamned gullible, so credulous of their media of choice, that a 30% mortality rate would only fuel more dumbshittery
-
You may be surprised to learn that "normal" changes based on your culture and geographic location.
-
Why not eat something
nice and normalthat westerners think is normal instead of a bat though? I mean FFSFixed that for you. You know different regions and cultures have different norms for foods, right?
-
We ordered the one that infects "red hat", not "fed bat". Blame a bad connection, but we're not paying for this Congo Labs. Try again.

If you're really careful, you might see that I qualified that statement above
it killed too few people for many to care
The emphasis is there for a reason.
And BTW, that statement is not a joke, but based on actual study results. You know why? Covid having a 2% mortality also means it has a 98% survival rate - much much higher in younger healthier people. Exactly that was the problem. For the vast majority of people covid did not feel like a real threat, because it wasn't. Long covid and the other long term effects only really came to light in 2021 and later.
I didn't shelter in 2020 for myself, but for others. If there is no such thing a society, individuals will act like selfish assholes and don't wear masks, get vaccinated, etc. If Covid would have caused widespread erectile dysfunction, the entire world would have been shutdown in 5min and nobody would even doubt masks.

I would also recommend not eating children.
-
I don’t like eating kale
-
Fuck! Dudes! I strictly repeated several times to not eat bats so we could prevent another covid! WTF was wrong with these people? Bat= not food!!! Other not foods include but not limited to Stork, venomous things, pets, people, clouds, poop, teeth, big cats, other cats, armadillos, rinos, elephants and other nature show animals. Food animals... Chicken, tilapia, cow, pig.
Now the next and most important thing to do is: 1) don't go to Congo to see or touch or be near the dead. 2) don't come back from Congo if you saw, touched or were near the dead. Easy peasy.
Obviously this was a mutant rabies virus. Let's call it RabiesUltra25...RU25 for short. Thanks for reading! Look out! Behind you! Gotcha!

Why yes, actually! The bird flu pandemic should be along any day now (just waiting on that one last mutation to be able to spread between humans), and that one's projected to have a super-high death rate.
