What’s the worst that could happen
This is fascinating and frightening. It’s only a matter of time until there is the next lockdown.
Well the models were trained on bacteriophages, so it’s pretty much impossible that the viruses could be human pathogens, still scary af though lol
Bird flu is still out there too, and it seems likely that by the time it figures out humans, the US public health apparatus will be basically destroyed.
Ever lived through a plague in the middle ages? Would you like to?
