CoVID-19
It mostly kills old people, old people who are done breeding, the hoard shall survive! The young-ins will survive and fuck our way out of this problem the way we've fucked our way out of every mass die off yet.
2-3% mortality rate with 1918 medicine, vs 2% mortality rate with modern medicine, one is more worrisome than the other. Like SARS or MERS, it's got the potential to kill a whole lot of people, but the sciency folk will probably figure out a way to stop it long before it actually kills us all, and then we'll all just blame the media for "over-hyping" it and go back to cutting funding for anything science or medical related.

Yup. Back at UW as a surgery intern, when I only had stubble, I still failed that N95 fit test. Had to have the space helmet powered respirator thing when going into isolation rooms.
IIRC, one of the most devastating parts of the Spanish flu was it killed those 20 - 40 years old at much higher rates than the rest of the population, which is inverse to your typical pandemic.
Let’s see, adding Corona Virus to the potential ailments I’ll be exposed to while thru hiking this year, such as Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Norovirus, Giardia, and wth any luck some stds. Shaping up to be a Hell of a Summer.

I got one for working in MIL's dust-filled condo a few weeks ago and they were very hard to find. Only the super expensive ones were available and there were signs all over that purchases were limited to 4 per individual.
lots of people around here talking about how "nice" this winter has been because it hasn't gotten super cold. My response is always "hope you like ticks"Moose Infested with 90,000 Ticks

NC doesn't really have a bad problem with tick born illnesses. Plenty of the little bastards to go around for sure though. Saw this map by the CDC indicating Lyme Disease locations. Holly Shit, when I get out of NC/ I'm going to bath in Permitherin or whatever it's called.

Because people are panicky lemmings, or because this disease is actually bad?
Two cases in Holland can be added to the list...
