Let's just keep losing our minds over covid instead.
Well, Bill Gates did say the next "plague" would get our attention (since the Covid-19 fizzled out too soon).
I think this virus was just a test run to see if people around the world would submit to their fear tactics. Now they know that the majority will just cower in fear and hide inside while we allow "them" to take half the population off the planet.
Now bubonic plague, with a 10-15% fatality rate even if treated, on what I assume to be otherwise healthy people, that would get my attention. Apparently it's transmitted through bites, especially fleas. Time to get some frontline for the pets lol.
