This is an edit from the previous comment, as it had a hole in it! A savvy member noticed, and this is a rewrite somewhat. My last statement lacked a critical point I omitted in error.

Agnostic members who read:
"Extinction Level Event"
*and commented —my apology.

I got distracted from my original intent when I posted the last comment on this topic. My initial thought was this: Artificially Created Plague is a new phenomenon in our environment. I commented here some time ago on the same subject. Could this be a tipping point in our relationship with nature?

Covid Level Extinction Event. ( CLEE ) I made this acronym, and it has other meanings, I'm sure.

Quote from The Atlantic Linked Article in 2014
"The concern is that you're making something that does not exist in nature and combines high virulence for people with the ability to transmit efficiently," Lipsitch told me.

Stupid think the world is a triangle or whatever? They're told this by like-minded stupid. What the stupid and greedy don't understand is this? No workers, we get No food. No hospitals. No police. No law. Even the Mega-Rich when their bunkers run out of stuff. How long can you live in a double-wide bus bunker underground?

Wars fought over scraps of supplies and Global Warming, on top of it. Life has now entered a sixth mass extinction, as you may know. So why is it not unreasonable to think we are omitted? As a species, we may be at the most precarious of times, unlike anything before.

Cascading events, calamities we can't get on top of breaking down. Systems designed to deal with minor or significant disasters cannot be repaired due to a lack of service providers or parts. Contaminated water may be a problem? AGI and ARI: acute gastrointestinal illness, critical respiratory illness-causing pathogens such as V. cholera, salmonella, E. coli, norovirus, and rotavirus, among many others. Other kinds of diseases spread with nobody to help you. Dentist? Doctor? Water filtration? Whatever? Forget about it!

Everything we have taken for granted will be gone without workers. Factories, hospitals, or communications. And we have no way to get supplies as hoarding will suck up supplies and everything else. We are witnessing these small but noteworthy signs now due to Covid.

I feel helpless watching the stupid march around with no masks or vaccinations! And fearful they will infect me. Or make more variants? I'm double vaccinated and wear two HN95 Masks. If the stupid don't understand something? It's a hoax. Putting people last is the new norm for the perpetually stupid and the self-centred.

The world will be far better off with less stupid; so many stupid is a lot of stupid. But, unfortunately, the dark side of stupid will take bright with them. Reading about children dying is heartbreaking, frustrating and leaves me with a sense of dread with no way out. So I write down what I think, and what comes out is this.

A few years from now, the world could be one of several possible scenarios: Billions dead. And a smattering of humanity left living in misery. We're borderline now. Too few have too much, and it is a consequence of human nature. Sustaining Mother Earth so all humanity will benefit is the only way to get on top of this. We all share and celebrate our home planet. Religion is the biggest unnatural disaster ever concocted by men and does far more harm than good.

Double Oops! I got distracted with my original intent.
Artificially Created Plagues
( and it is, I'm sure ) are new into our environment and could be a tipping point in our relationship with nature and alter our world in ways never faced. I think the Genus Homo date back to a little over 2 million years. They belong to H. habilis, a type of ancient hominin that scientists classify as our ancestors, given all other factors combined. My point here is his; it make take two million more years to build a car again. Or anything as modern like we have today.

Since late December 2019, I have been all over this, and it appears we're going down a Whack-A-Mole-Hole? But it only seems like this? Can appearances be deceiving? I hope this is comment is 100% wrong, and it would be my great hope that we can do something to save people. Children are especially prone to this Virus now, and like in wars of the past, it's children that suffer the most and women.

Like anyone from Stephen King writers or Hollywood, this is my take on terrible. We have read and watched movies on the End for decades. I remember the first movie I watched made in 1959 called: On The Beach. End of the world movie I saw as a small boy around 1970.

I'm fearful for humanity and think we're underestimating this plague in unimaginable ways? But, as per usual, we're more worried about money and not humanity. And that may be our Achilles Heel?

Science created this Virus and opened Pandora's Box. The big question? Can science shut it?

Google came up with this terrifying article after I wrote this overlong comment to see if there was any substance to my thinking on
Artificially Created Viruses.

Headline from The Atlantic. 2014:
"Scientists Are Creating New, Incurable Diseases in Labs"

I'm writing this to try and do something as I feel helpless. I'm a full-glass guy. Bill Gates warned us in 2015 about a Covid type Plague on Ted Talks, and nobody did a thing. This comment will do the same. But I'm still trying as I'm not a quitter but will not tolerate put personal put-downs. Please if you want to make a comment on what I have written, great.

You can like, pass, or block, but attacking me is only shooting the messenger. It is like our Mother's used to say: if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything.
If you don't have something intelligent to add, you have your instructions.

What happened to Pandora's Box?
All of life's miseries had been let out into the world. Pandora slammed the lid of the box back down. The last thing remaining inside of the box was hope. Humans have been able to hold onto this hope to survive the wickedness that Pandora had let out ever since.
