I’m quite enthused about having some real threats for a change, Covid, nuclear bombs, Monkeypox.
Got bored with the abstracts, climate change, millennium bugs. Not like anything actually ever fckin happens.
Thinking about it, a nuclear strike on Wuhan region circa 2019 and a reciprocal strike back at Britain would have killed approx 200,000 people but wiping out Covid before it happened would have saved approx 6 million.
Monkey pox, me arse! Making Monkeys of gullible people, like they did with the covid hysteria, is the aim. Total control, don't do this, don't do that, don't go here, don't go there. Compliance, compliance, compliance. And all the while there will be a virus affecting just a small fraction of the population. People must not allow themselves to be led up the garden path again.

F*cks sake, have a day off. Over 6 million people dead and you tw@ts are still banging the conspiracy drum.

Food for thought.
Nothing ever happens from climate change? So no unprecedented wildfires, storms, deadly heatwaves, droughts and once in 300 year floods happening three times in ten years then? I'd say that little lot is far from abstract for all the people affected, dead or alive.
I think C-19’s seen 15m deaths. This is low for a pandemic because C-19 in the end was a level 2 virus that didn’t worsen thankfully, unlike the deadlier Black Plague or Spanish flu pandemics.
The latter is estimated to have killed anywhere between between 50m to 80m people, which is huge given the population at the time.
I suspect historians will attribute the lower death rates from C-19 being down to a less deadly virus and the significance of a strict lockdowns - required due to the ease of mass movement these days - and the incredibly fast rollout of a vaccine. They’ll also chuckle at the irony of conspiracy theories mirroring what was said and done a century earlier with the Spanish flu, even to the idiocy of spouting the same nonsense in legal argument before the US Supreme Court.
All I know: friends who had it early in the pandemic described it as hellish, with one of them being at death’s door. More recent contractors and since having the vaccine, describe it less violently.
Of far more concern and what’s going to be the real killer, is the climate-lead global food crisis that’s already well set. Aided and abetted by the disruption to supply chains by C-19 and the Ukrainian fracas. Anyone doubting this is, in my view, an arse!
Reading some stuff on this, and we’re entering very choppy waters.

yeah, and over here, we have one large bakery, using locally grown wheat and milled locally. Start to finish local, lots of jobs in the chain. The owner, elderly now, announced they were closing down the company, the children unwilling to take over. The government, with a £42m climate change budget, has not stepped in, saying "We are not in the business of baking bread". Now wholly reliant on imports, bar a couple of artisan bakeries. So lost in-island revenue, lost jobs,more food miles, lost self-suffiency. Lost skills. At these times. Fuming.

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

If people refuse to restrict the number of children they have in this day and age of longevity of life, then the planet cannot continue to sustain/ feed all of us, and life as we know it was always going to end one way or another anyway. If the 'virus' (ahem) didn't get ya, the starvation will!!! (well, the starvation probably won't get us older folk, but it may well get the youngsters I fear)
