   Wake the hell up -- bird flu is real and it's coming. The only question is how virulent and deadly this one is. Worst case, it makes covid, which killed several hundred million people, look like the mildest of colds.

   The world's governments are hopelessly incapable -- at the moment -- of dealing with this.

     @jwz @dangillmor Let’s hope the Biden administration can get a pandemic response in place that the Trump administration will take credit for.

     One of the very, very few things I will not fault Trump for is being proud of “Project Warp Speed.” The insanely rapid development of the various COVID-19 vaccines was a legit moon-landing level achievement by our species. Everyone involved should be proud of it to the point where anti-vaxxers should inspire homicidal rage.

     @dangillmor Of course Bird Flu comes now, when Trump is elected. Pandemic is the tradition.

     @jwz @eschaton Since Trump turned his back on vaccines, no, I don't - even the things he did right he fucked up.

     @dangillmor #Trump has the cure for that.

     Dismantle the CDC.
