But in the situation in imagining, they would all be dead. I'd be stuck there indefinitely!
But you do have a point. Im sure the public health officials in my area would tell everyone that there's nothing to worry about and to go get infected for fun. :/ guess I'd be the only one left, granted I stay inside long enough to outlive all the infected.
No, definitely people wouldnt quarantine like that. But, H5N1 can have a really high mortality rate. From what I can tell, a near 100%. for birds and some marine mammals. I.e. every animal that catches it, dies.
Not to be macabre, but I don't mean how long would people have to quarantine to beat back the virus. Im asking how long would an individual have to hide from everyone else, before everyone else, who refused to believe it was real, and whatnot, caught the virus and just...died.
Yeah...I took the bait, then remembered what day it was.
Firefox also has a libreddit extension that will automatically direct you there if you type in any reddit address.
Well, like the pole started out getting dragged backward, and then forward again...the white spot on the ground is where I think the pole originally started out, and there's damage in front and behind that mark.
I think it didn't break cause it's meant to keep cars from plowing underneath the truck. If it broke it would defeat the purpose, and the car would end up with the driver somewhere under the trailer, decapitated or something...
I'll take aliens and Bigfoot in cahoots too! I bet one of those shape shifting cryptids had a hand in it too.
Im not sure im going to explain the well, but...
I think they backed into the pole and it bent the bar (or whatever that guard thingy is called) up and under so much so that the pole ended up behind the bottom rail of the bar. The metal bar, then, spang back into place somewhat. And the pole "bent" / angled backward (from the ground). When the trucker tried to moved forward to get off the pole, the pole got snagged in the hole due to the spring action and got ended up getting dragged back to its more upright position, and it ended up as you see it in the picture.
I dont think the hole in the ground from the pole is from it being dragged forward, so much as from it being pushed backwards.
Edit: someone I know that has family that drives trucks says that it also could have occurred if the other trucks on the side weren't there to begin with and the person was trying to turn and the trailer swung out and the pole got dragged past the first hole and into the second hole. I'm kinda skeptical it could happen that way considering the direction the pole was dragged in the ground but who knows. it's just another perspective. But he also thinks the picture is photoshopped so...
Except the texas ranger part, this is true. Guess you could play one in a movie, but is that the same?
it makes you feel better, the fish has only been documented doing this once in 1997, and it could have been a hoax
Originally I thought the fish only went up there if you peed in the water, but that too seems questionable...
But it does seem to like swimming up women's hooha's. Just don't be a woman and you'll be fine!
Man, that guy had quite a life! Bet he was a hit at party's.
...Back when you could actually be anything you wanted to be. How romantic!
I'm not saying he didn't, that it doesn't, or that he has. It's just that the whole reason were talking about this is cause he over-inflated the value of his assets and nobody wants to loan him money. Technically, if he had money to pay for this, he wouldn't be in this predicament. He wouldn't be begging people to put it on credit. Any reasonable rich person would just pay the damn thing and get it out of the way. Then again he's not reasonable... but I digress.
I'm sure this was just a "legit" way to get the amount lowered / pander to his base / kiss his ass. It sucks that nobody has the gumption to give him the consequences he deserves, but I don't care if he says "he has the money," or had the money in the past to get to the presidency and get everyone on board with his demented plot of world domination. If he doesn't pay it, he ain't got it. There's a reason nobody with actual money would loan it to him.
Yes, greed rules the world.
I'm just being silly, but isn't this technically due to his lack of money?
That's pretty cool! I knew we didn't really have a flu season, but I didn't realize we actually killed off a while strain. Not for nothing, I guess.
You do have a point though, we have an existing vaccine and we are more knowledgeable about the flu in general. Maybe there would be more surviviors than one would anticipate. As long as the scientists didn't dont get infected and die before they could get the vaccine out.
When birds catch the bird flu, there can be up to 100% mortality rate. So, I suppose I'm more refering to a catastrophic, civilization altering illness. More akin the what a zombie virus would do, without the added potential of reanimation.
