It's like the beginning of one of those "post-apocalypse" movies...

...the movie begins with the main characters watching TV news about a virus hitting various places in the world. In the next scene, zombies are crashing through the back door hungry for brains.

Oh....yeah....just like that. (how much have you been drinking today?)

 

[Blackrook]

For some reason, I'm not even slightly worried about this. Maybe it's because I'm not really all that afraid of death. In reviewing my life, I've done more good than bad. If my time has come, I'm ready.

It’s a shame TDS isn’t fatal.

It is more like a slow steady drip...drip...drip of unknowns, fear, and political loathing.

 

[Blackrook]

It's funny how people panic about a virus, but no one ever panics about car crashes.

I'm at peace with myself. If a virus kills me, so be it. It will be either a virus or something else that kills me. If I die, I will no longer have to worry about saving for retirement.

There were over 6000 pedestrians killed in 2019. Should we panic over walking on sidewalks?

Just as long as you go first...(only kidding!).

I had this discussion with my son just this afternoon, this is always how it starts.

And now they have a "vaccine" maybe...and that is always the tipping point as it is worse than the illness.

It's not really about you.

This scene from the movie outbreak is how a lot of people are acting.

There's a reason that I work hard at being a bastard.
They usually go last!

You mean when you die because sure as hell you're gonna.

Thanks!

I posted on here yesterday that all these end-of-days prognostications by the media sound like they're pitching a screenplay for a prequel to 12 Monkeys, where the plot is based on Donald Trump being responsible for the apocalyptic virus that results in the extinction of human kind.

You shouldn't be too worried about this anyway, unless you are Asian.

Outside of China, the death rate for those who catch the virus is 0.7%. So, even if everyone in the world catches the virus, the human race will survive.
