So don't worry guys our descendants will survive if heavily inbred Half remembering this but apparently humanity hit a bottle neck in africa back in the day, down to about 50,000 individuals. We'll be fine.

this thread made me watch Contagion again fun movie but I never noticed how they stress that matt damon only lost a cheating wife and non-biological son lol Celexi posted:yeah, plague inc is easy if you start slow, by the end I couldn't lose the game even if I wanted to save humanity as my virus was out of control bythen i always had to start with high-contagion/limited symptoms, then mutate into super death bug its like if someone figured out how to weaponize hpv, the human race would be finished

Durf posted:this thread made me watch Contagion again HIV is already uh, "perfect" as far as a world-ending virus. Very long period of infectivity before serious symptoms, many initial symptoms are quiet, doesn't kill right away (sometimes for years even without treatment, and decades with). It's only downside is it's a fragile little bitch. If it mutated to being airborne, or hardier in fomites even, it would be disastrous for humanity.

There is never going to be a doomsday virus. Anti-Virals keep getting better, quarantines are better enforced and the public knowledge/testing keeps improving.

Lol yes, most of the planet is rich, you got me. Even assuming that was somehow a thing, if suddenly 10-20% of the population has it resources would run scarce. It's ability to remain infectious for years without killing it's hosts with or without treatment and lack of outwardly obvious symptoms for an extended duration makes it an incredibly successful virus. This is why hemorrhagic fevers are (usually) so flash in the pan as far as location and duration, they kill too quickly and too obviously.

Until someone figured out an HIV vaccine. Then HIV is basically relegated to sub populations in third world countries and subpopulations of extremely affluent countries. I bet antivaxxers would be all over an HIV vaccine. Just not for their kids.

This is true, but I do wonder how hosed up a country like China has to get before its economy shits the bed, and then the aftershocks causing a mild to moderate global recession. All these quarantines are hurting productivity.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Level 3 Warning: Avoid all nonessential travel to China. Chinese authorities are imposing quarantines and restricting travel throughout the country. Level 4: Do not travel to Hubei province, China due to novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, China: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/china-travel-advisory.html How common are these types of advise?

I think this is incorrect. Granted I have no medical background but an airborne smth with a long asymptomatic incubation that was decently fatal would wreck absolute havoc until we stopped air travel and industry [with further massive impact from that] wouldn't it? I've always been morbidly fascinated by apocalyptic stuff

You need the perfect virus for doomsday to happen. Asymptomatic but fatal (a weird combo) airborne (beefy) and contagious. Humanity survived a virus where everyone caught it and a third died. You are asking a lot for a little encoded rna.

Charlz Guybon posted:Pharmacuticals just don't spend money on developing them anymore. Has Sanders talked about the antibiotic problem before? A couple of months ago I remember talking to someone about the election and mentioned how I don't really like any of the Dem candidates for various reasons but if one would mention antibiotics research as a serious issue (and hey maybe even a policy proposal!) I'd probably support them on that alone. I suppose when health care is such a disaster and no one can afford it and everything sucks talking about antibiotic research when asked about health care generally in a debate or whatever would come off as pretty out of touch.

The nature article with the biosafety lab gives me the heepie jeepies. My experience more with cleanrooms than biolabs, but yeah, all it takes is one sloppy moment and you don't have a tracable yield hit to some bullshit consumer goods and someone's bottom line but instead an epidemic.

It's also necessary to have the right evolutionary conditions to get a mass killing virus; bubonic plague evolved from a minor stomach bug over thousands of years in northeast asia amongst sparse rodent populations with occasional pneumonic outbreaks. The Spanish flu gained it's deadly second mutation only due to the trenches of WW1, where seriously ill soldiers would be pulled back to spread it quicker in rear area hospitals, the opposite evolutionary incentive to a modern quarantine. Without actual bioweapon design put into one it is rare for evolutionary incentives to come together in just the right way.

The Spanish landed in Mexico in 1519 IIRC, the Pilgrims in Massachusetts in 1621. The Americas were already a post-apocalyptic landscape when they arrived. Small pox and measels were definitely the main killers, although those other diseases helped of course. Though native strains of tuberculosis was already present in the New World, and it's widely theorized that Syphilis originated in the New World and was the one serious disease to make the Colombian exchange in the other direction.
