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...
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 just being silly, but isn't this technically due to his lack of money?
I got one a couple years ago for Christmas. Guess you can still buy them from those mail order catalogs...
But I use it all the time! It's so handy.
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.
