Reports today that #KansasCity has its first #measles case since 2018. The case is in an unvaccinated adult.

The #pandemicene is here, folks.

Just watched a TikTok video that my sister sent me from a local news station reporting on it, and the one thing they failed to mention that people can do to protect themselves was MASKING!

Measles is incredibly contagious and IS transmitted through the air (yes, along with the other routes of transmission that you would expect, like fomites). Especially in buildings that are crowded and have poor ventilation, airborne viruses can stay transmissible in the air for quite a long time.

Measles can wipe out your immune system's "memory" -- meaning, everything you've ever had a shot for, everything you've ever developed antibodies against by being exposed to -- all of that is gone. Wiped out.

That is not a situation you *ever* want find yourself in.

In some ways it's similar to global warming. There's adaptation (dealing with climate chaos and warming) and there's mitigation (reducing GHG emissions).

Mitigation is more effective and less effortful overall, but adaptation is easier early and grows exponentially difficult over time.

People in this civilization tend to prefer adaptation over mitigation. Part of that is because it's reactive, so it doesn't require using our brains to plan ahead and organize. But it's also because of people having optimism: collectively - optimism that "someone will figure it out" and individually - "it won't affect me, I'm special!"

Mitigation for both global problems, Anthropogenic Global Warming and the rise of the "Pandemicene", requires an end to animal farming.

"How Close Are We to the Avian Flu Outbreak Escalating Into a Pandemic?"

A nice and readable article. I'll only quote one paragraph:

Where are we now? As Dr. Jeremy Faust, a Harvard Medical School physician, warns, “our current circumstance is akin to a game of Russian Roulette — and there have never been more bullets in the chamber.”

How Close Are We to the Avian Flu Outbreak Escalating Into a Pandemic?

Avian flu is rampant in poultry farms and in wild birds in the U.S. Every mutation brings the virus one step closer to the brink of human-to-human transmission, but predicting whether a virus will cross that threshold remains an uncertain science.

American Council on Science and Health

A seminar on Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 (HPAI H5N1) by an expert:

"The global expansion of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza - Prof Thijs Kuiken"

The useful part is probably the quick history of H5N1 and its HPAI version. Spoiler: it's because of bird farms. The whole presentation has a veterinary and epidemiological angle, it's not by vegans or for vegans.

Note: the presented data is outdated now in terms of how much more the virus has spread, but the rest is solid.

Keep these bits of information in mind for the near future when the conspiracy clowns will come out claiming that it's a "lab leak" or some other red herring.

Here’s the bluntest way I can put it: Supercomputers and artificial intelligence have told us to expect diseases like avian flu and Ebola to become regular features of our lives over the next couple of decades. It’s going to get more likely every single year. Now listen, supercomputers don’t fearmonger.

Get Ready for the Pandemicene

It's already here.

As hard as people struggle with something as simple as to understand why meat is bad, or why they should change their ways for the climate, I really have no trouble understanding why pandemic issues are difficult for the majority.

But for the pandemic *aware* crowd, why you all are not vegan is beyond me.
