Yeah that's my rationale for why bioweapon stuff is nonsense, this virus would make an absolutely terrible and uncontrollable weapon.

For some fun history back in the heyday of the cold war they were designing all kinds of things beyond hydrogen bombs. We've all heard of neutron bombs which are meant to destroy life with a blast of neutrons but limit the explosive nature of the bomb to keep buildings intact (perfect for invading a country and wiping out the people but saving the factories to use yourself). Well there was another bomb of that type they designed but never built, the cobalt bomb: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_bomb This thing was purposefully designed to end all life on a planet, period. It throws up an enormous cloud of highly radioactive fallout that poisons all the plants and slowly destroys the world. The never built it because, holy gently caress why would you build a weapon like that.

my fave coldwar project was this Dr Strangelove madness. They are pretty sure Russia was testing something similar in that crash last year:

https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/research/a28690053/russia-nuclear-powered-missile-skyfall/

quote:

The United States tried to develop a nuclear-powered cruise missile in the 1950s and 1960s but abandoned the project as impractical. The weapon was known as Supersonic Low Altitude Missile, or SLAM, and it would have been the most dangerous nuclear weapon ever made.

The missile would fly unusually low for a missile of its time, just 1,000 feet, to avoid enemy radars. The supersonic shockwave was projected to leave a trail of devastation, flattening forests, buildings, and killing anyone in the missile's flight path.

SLAM, despite being advertised as a missile, was actually more like an unmanned bomber. Instead of a single warhead, it carried up to 26 hydrogen bombs, each hundreds of times more powerful than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. SLAM could fly a predetermined route over an enemy country or even continent, ejecting H-bombs on targets below. Once out of bombs SLAM would fly one last mission, running into a final target that would shower the target zone with lethal radioactivity.



I heard a version of the story (Project Pluto) where they contracted a company specializing in ceramics to design the reactor manifold because steel kept melting, the Coors Porcelain Company. After this project they stopped military contracts to focus on their pet project, brewing beer.

2) The media is hyping up COVID-19 as a Millennial/Zoomer Remover because kids still think that it's not going to affect them and go out & gently caress around and spread it like assholes. I think there might also be some anti-Millennial bias in there among the more rightist press, but for the most part, it's inforunners trying to scare youths into taking things seriously by exaggerating how badly the under-30 crowd has it (i.e. not anywhere near as badly as the over-30 crowd).

the people i've seen taking this the least seriously are teens and seniors. just wandering aimlessly like nothing's wrong. perhaps neither are afraid of death, for different reasons
