anybody else feel like the early stages of a widespread prion disease incident would be largely indistinguishable from the long-covid ravaged "society" we've already got
prions can incubate for decades
I didn't need to know that
Don't worry I will gladly sell you Dr. Barx's Prion Cleanse with a nice wintergreen flavor.
That's good news, I don't want to be around in decades anyway.
i think at first
prion diseases are a lot scarier than covid
Yea, the long incubation time of prions combined with the complete brain melting that the covid pandemic caused (both covid symptoms/long covid impacts and the societal impacts) and the tendency of capitalist governments to downplay/cover up these health problems (micro plastics/forever chemicals/covid/every other example I can't think of off the top of my head) makes me dread the possibility of a widespread prion outbreak that would be ignored until way too late.
Ah fuck the solution is going to be using ~~AktionT4~~ "MAID" to ~~murder~~ "euthanize" these prion victims isn't it
I mean usually prion diseases go more like dormant -> active -> dead within a year, but apparently this one doesn't so who knows
For a lot of fun, google "covid" + "[virtually any disease]" in order to find out how covid is basically airborne any disease:

oh
No, feel like we're just getting started still.
