A world wide pandemic and lockdown might as well be what saves the planet from further warming… or at least bide us some time.

Ending fossil fuels and animal agriculture are pretty good options.

I’ve read about this and it’s pretty bad. It you think COVID was bad, it was a walk in the park in comparison.

There’s generally an inverse relationship between contagiousness and deadlines. By the time it mutates enough to spread between people, it’s unlikely it’ll be much worse than COVID.

The thing is, in this case you can get infected from ingesting cow milk from a cow that was infected. Once it gets into our food supply it can cause something like a flu bomb that’s going to kill a lot of people at once.

Vegans might have a better chance of surviving in this case.

Uh oh, better start buttering up all the nurses and grocery store employees as “hero’s” again since this country has done everything possible to screw them in them last 4 years since COVID ended.

COVID will likely never “end”. Sure, the lockdowns have, and there aren’t as many cases, but there are still thousands of cases, and at least a hundred deaths a week, in the UK alone.

Also Long Covid is still a thing ruining lives, and you have about the same risk of getting it with each new Covid infection. Not to mention that even without Long Covid, the disease has been proven to reduce mental faculties by several IQ points too as well as increase the chances of getting dementia: https://theconversation.com/mounting-research-shows-that-covid-19-leaves-its-mark-on-the-brain-including-with-significant-drops-in-iq-scores-224216

Friendly reminder that these pandemics are the direct result of animal exploitation and carnists have themselves to thank for making the entire world suffer to an incalculable extent, just so they can have 5 minutes of mouth pleasure.

Those “super bugs” and antibiotic-resistant bacteria you’ve heard scientists express dire concern about for many years? Yep. This is it. And it’ll only continue happening as long as we allow animals to be systemically bred into existence and exploited.
