Will there be another Pandemic in 2024

It’s Moneypox all over again.

If there is the majority of people won't give a bollix about it and won't follow idiotic restrictions...2 metre rules, 25 skin masks, substantial meal etc etc.

No

Over 6 million died in just over 2 years. National health systems almost collapsed. Many more would have died and the situation would have been worse if we didn't take actions and measures.

We learn from these things and if/when a new virus appears we will take actions depending on the situation, just like we did in 1918 and just like we did in 2020. No doubt there will be more pandemics.

The full effects of construction shutdowns are still only making themselves felt. The U-shaped recovery of the economy hasn't been quite satisfactory as it turns out simply dumping large amounts of unsterilised money into the economy is inflationary.

I predict there will be far fewer takers for exaggerated media panic and lockdowns next time around (if there is a next time).

However the most conformist people will go along with it again.

Depends entirely on the situation, but if it's common sense, then yes.

If another pandemic happens tomorrow, there will be highly suggestible people who will have already decided it's all fake, there will be those who will have decided that no matter how bad or contagious it is that they will never wear a mask, there will be people who will decide to never get vaccines.

There will always be people who put themselves at more risk due to ignorance/paranoia. During the last pandemic, a higher proportion of unvaccinated died from the disease. That says it all.

I see this depopulation thing a lot on conspiracy forums, not sure I get the fixation with it.

Why are the nefarious "powers that be" so interested in getting rid of voters and people who pay tax, how does it benefit them?

I'm not saying anything about you at all, I'm talking about your posts. They make no sense.

Have you ever seen someone going through a mental episode and they are dead set that they have hidden knowledge concerning the universe and try to explain it to you, but it's utter nonsensical gobbledygook? That's how your posts read.

If you don't want your posts to read like that it's fairly simple, don't write them like that and try to make a bit more sense.

ah, if it isn't Mr "What do you think, I just came on here and I would take the whole world for a fool and make a wild claim that has no substance" who made an outlandish claim (and a bet) then disappeared for a year so he didn't have to pay up.

Tell us, why should anyone take what you have to say at its word when you've proven yourself to be so thoroughly dishonest?

Apologies, I hadn't seen that until now.

I thought it was Monkeypox

influenza is the one that may take off but not for a time yet - apparently strains are getting worse each year

generous

It's just lego for someone with too much money.

I did.

But the ideal population size according to who? One random guy who had enough money to erect big stones?

And if there is some great conspiracy to control the population of the world, why is it rocketing?

Of course you'll see lots of articles on bird flu if you google it, as its already and thing and Google produces thousands of hits for anything you search for.

There was a bird flu outbreak in Northern Ireland earlier this year iirc. And no doubt in other parts of the world too. Does it mean there is going to be a pandemic next year? Who knows. Might be , might not be.

It's like the thread on Boards about the next financial crisis. Of course there will be another one but some are saying it was to be this year, others last year, others next year. Say it often enough and of course you'll be right, eventually. A broken clock springs to mind.

Planning it. I heard someone had bird soup in the CDC canteen and it leaked from there.
