Lol we're already there. 2019 was the most cases the US has seen since the measles were declared eradicated in the country. New York and Washington declared an official state of emergency for it. This year is barely better and we are perilously close to losing its elimination status which would (obviously) make us the only developed nation to hold that honor.

Fun fact, this year 97% of cases were found in people that were not fully vaccinated. Of course this is merely a huge coincidence and vaccines serve no other purpose than turning us and the neighboring wildlife gay but it's worth noting.

America will anyway, sorry rest of the world. We’re morons

Cocoliztli comeback would be out of left field and fitting for this timeline.

cocoliztli:

physician who witnessed the outbreak in 1576, symptoms included high fever, severe headache, vertigo, black tongue, dark urine, dysentery, severe abdominal and chest pain, head and neck nodules, neurological disorders, jaundice, and profuse bleeding from the nose, eyes, and mouth. Some also describe spotted skin, gastrointestinal hemorrhaging, leading to bloody diarrhea, and bleeding from the eyes, mouth, and vagina.

We already did that, and over 5 million people died. Do we have to really do that again?

[–] nick@midwest.social 1 points 12 minutes ago

Evidently, yes.

Nah, birdflu is coming back.

It's already getting all the Canadian Gooses on the way south, it'll get worse down there and they'll spread it when they migrate North.
