Gee what could possibly go wrong? He didn't learn shit the first time as I lost several family members because of him. And now, here we go again?

(120,501 posts)3. It does not appear that this outbreak is going to rise to the level of pandemic
or that similar outbreaks will appear elsewhere. The zero COVID policy of China a few years may have made the population in China more susceptible to a viral outbreak due to weakened immune systems. There also has not been a vaccine developed for RMPV and the fatality rate is low so I doubt that a government intervention would have a significant impact.

I just keep reading more and more about how fast this is spreading.
