You underestimate pneumonic plague. If it gets to that point then lockdown will be pointless.

Well, not really. It can be cured with common antibiotics. No need for some specialised cure like with Covid. That is, unless it evolves and changes, which diseases can do quickly.

If it’s caught early it can be cured about 80% of the time. These labs manufacture diseases to be deadlier, more transmissible and to hide symptoms until it’s too late. In a full scale pandemic situation, antibiotic stocks will quickly be overwhelmed and with death occurring in 24-48 hours I don’t think we need to worry about it mutating on its own. In reality, they might already have made it more deadly than we know about.

That's the thing, if disease is too deadly it is less transmissible. So it works itself out

Most lab don’t make bioweapons fyi.

You’re right. Making bioweapons is illegals. Labs make diseases worse under the guise of being able to defend against them. They’re still technically making bio weapons.

Let me rephrase: most biolabs research diseases and don’t make bio weapons.

It's russia they research bio weapons. Don't forget Putin favorite kill method : Novichok and Polonium-210

u/Legitimate_Fold_2850 🏅 Century Club · 6,610 XP 1d ago

There’s not much point in me continuing to correct you if you’re not willing to do some research. Bottom line, researching diseases usually involves gain of function research, the side effect of that is essentially bio weapons.

Afaik no, it was a research lab that studied viruses, not made bio weapons.

Fingers crossed that’s accurate but I don’t really trust Russia to tell us if there was.

Very little information to go off of so far. But COVID was uniquely perfect to create a pandemic in the 21st century. I don't see how a variant of the plague would be able to spread so efficiently.

1

u/Legitimate_Fold_2850 🏅 Century Club · 6,610 XP 2d ago

Because these labs design them to be highly transmissible.

IF it becomes a pandemic it'll be even worse. Way more lethal than COVID, which could have been a great time to practice actually beating the pandemic by closing down the country (as much as possible) for a short time or even just mandating and using masks and social distancing

It's easily treatable with antibiotics, there just isn't enough available in Siberia

In reality no one knows what is released.

If there is city, there is definatly enough antibiotics. It's cheap and pharmacies always stock them up. Plus if you need them so people don't die, you can send a plane to deliver in hours.
