Re <<H5N1 Delta version at 69% mortality>>

I wonder what the correct reactions set should be in such a case?

Burn-through does not seem a sensible option.

We're on the road to Hell, paved with Good Intentions along with money, bossing people around for fun, mixed with malevolence.


Good Intentions?

Are you joshing?

Far from it.

Gain of function virus creation is not, assuredly not, a road paved with good intentions.

It is another arrow in a quiver full of weapons designed for anything but Good Intentions.

Gain of function is designed for death, destruction, horrific consequences, everything I think you hate.

The virus’s escape from Wuhan Virology Lab, despite its costs, was a godsend because it alerted us to intentions, risks, etc., so that we can asses our enemies’ true malevolence and prepare for it.

If you've got the time... might find this worth the effort...

Particularly liked the bits on the "how and the why" in the parsing of history... lots that's relevant to today.

And, then... perhaps Follies perception in "What I do believe is we are a simulation" is really more of a social and cultural experience of Deja Vu... part Truman Show... and part the lack of any real imagination on the part of those (re) writing the scripts ?
