Wealthy nations are purchasing vaccines against H5N1 influenza and boosting surveillance, but there are concerns that low-income countries will be left behind.

    Well, I’d love to say I disagree with you but I think even just the last few years would prove you right. Let’s just hope we don’t have any outbreak that means we have to be at the mercy of other people’s psychosis again.

      Well, buckle up. Because 2024 is an election year. And even if you don’t live in the USA, our dumbassery still affects the rest of the world. Just as Chinas corruption affected the world in 2019/2020.

      And election year + devisive topic = idiots acting on emotion rather than logic.

        Yeah, I don’t live in the US but if Trump gets in there’s a decent chance it will directly put my family in danger. I have no control over that though so I try not to think about it too much.

          Is it sad that really doesn’t narrow down where you live that trump would put you in danger?

          I mean, it could be Ukraine. It could be Mexico. I don’t even know what his thoughts on Isreal/Gaza are, but I assume his opinions on that are shit as well.

          Hell, you might even live in Greenland. He tried to buy Greenland again, and rename it to trumpland.

          His ego knows no bounds, and his empathy is nonexistant.

              “Why is America so small on this map? Why are we not the only country? People tell me, no it’s it’s true, they do, they say America is the only country on the map. Everybody knows it. Our maps are yuge. We have the best maps. You know in the 1980s, I was going to buy a map making factory. All the jobs would stay in America, instead of going to ChGina. We would print all the maps if I did that. Everybody would want a trump map. That’s what they’d call it, because everybody loves me. And then I would buy Greenland, and keep the Mexicans out of the borders. We would have built a wall on the borders of Greenland and Mexico. The Mexicans would be so happy that we’re providing them shade. They’d even pay for our beautiful wall. Better than the great wall of ChGina!”

              I feel like my only two mistakes in this impersonation are:

              1. It’s too coherent.

              2. It stayed on topic.

              Ideally he would never fully finish a sentence, yet still somehow come off as racist. All the while drifting from topic to topic, while also saying nothing at all.
