I mean its Perrottet so he will hundred percent gently caress up many more times before then but like jeusus just remember how hated morission was after the bush fires, and couple month later completely bounced back because people are idiots.

yeah I don't think Perrottet's failures so far have will that much bearing on the NSW election that's still over a year away (unfortunately) because so much can happen in that time but it's funny that some of the NSW Libs are already tearing themselves apart over this and going "we're doomed!!!". & of course he's set to announce new restrictions today which will infuriate the other half of the party too QLD government is now saying they expect cases to peak at the end of the month & are probably going to extend school holidays a week or two

But the rest of the world is going to poo poo. Most of the world, on average, is healthier, more prosperous, more at peace and more democratic than it has been for most of human history; if you're going to be born in e.g. sub-Saharan Africa you're better off being born in 2000 than 1950. Of course the 1% are increasingly controlling more of the world's wealth, there are still thousands of nuclear weapons on a hair trigger, and we're slowly cooking the earth, but if you only look in the rear-view mirror we're doing pretty well so far!

I feel like COVID has done that in though. More than that it's convinced me we will never do anything about climate change. I already knew we'd be too late to act, but now I'm convinced we won't do anything at all, except whatever horrible things we do to the refugees. While Australia (sorta) held out I felt like maybe we could pull through and be the model for the rest of the world to point to and be like "hey look that's how we can deal with this thing" but now only China stands and nobody in the West wants to point out that China is doing something right. Australia is now just "proof" that nothing else can be done. So COVID is just going to cycle through the world over and over and if we're lucky maybe it doesn't evolve a worse variant and just kills and disables millions every year while the world gets hotter and the oceans acidify. Maybe the West figures it's poo poo out in time to do something. Maybe the world rotates to China and they do something without doing extra horrible poo poo on top and also the West doesn't completely lose its poo poo about it. But meh. I feel like it's all down-hill from here. We've set ourselves on a crash course and then abandoned the driver's seat. I cannot overemphasize how illustrative the COVID response failure has been to me. Just a complete failure of a country. Such a failure of a species. We had the chance to keep COVID out of this island nation. We could have. And we didn't. gently caress me what a pathetic showing.

I think viruses tend to become more contagious but less deadly over time. A virus that kills its host is less successful than one that doesn't.

I think there's a lot of factors that go into whether a virus gets less deadly and I don't think COVID is particularly well set up for that since it can spread asymptomatically already, has a lowish mortality rate, and takes a while to kill its host even when it does. Though it could I suppose. But regardless of that, if we only get out of this crisis by it naturally getting better by itself over years while we do nothing about it then it does not bode well for our ability to deal with climate change.

I'm of two minds about the global COVID response as it portends to climate change. On the one hand the failure of governments to co-operate, the spread of misinformation etc all bodes poorly; on the other hand the immediate development and mass distribution of multiple vaccines within the space of 12-24 months bodes well for the moonshot technology solutions (which are the only things at this point that will mitigate climate change anyway). Also re: COVID in the developing world it's obviously not ideal to throw in another disease to worry about, but the risk of malaria, HIV/AIDS, cholera and dysentery - all mostly vanquished in the West generations ago - is in the mix every day for hundreds of millions if not billions of people. One of the reasons many Westerners have found COVID so disconcerting is it's the first time since our grandparents' or great-grandparents' generation that we've had to genuinely worry about coming into contact with a serious and widespread illness. As historical pandemics go it's not even on par with the Spanish flu so I wouldn't exactly talk about it being some kind of end-of-days switch-flipping moment.

Not sure if the hosts are cowards or the strongest people alive for not dying from rolled eyes. Phigs posted:I've been wondering what the best ever year for humanity was now that I'm sure we've already seen it. There was an article the other day from some random science blog that cognitive decline issues like dementia had sharply decreased, with people speculating phasing leaded petrol out was a major cause. There was another study the other day saying young people in the similar period were loving a whole lot less than those before them, but of course that's related to the rise of internet, facebook etc. The best time to be alive is always right loving now because lol science blogs.
