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

    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
