We will know if we are genuinely in the darkest time line if we get another pandemic and Trump become president again. Because that was such a great combination last time /s
At least we all learned our lessons from the last one and will definitely have no issues when it happens again. /s

They’re not going to wear a mask for this one either, huh?
Someone had to find a flying monkey in China. What happened next wasn’t the immediate investigation of the species. It’s China so it probably got fried in street oil and bam new bird flu.
Turns out Covid was just round 1 of international pandemics from China.
Edit: yes, technically it was round 4 (SARS, bird flu, swine flu, Covid, now Bird Flu: this time its personal)
What does this one have to do with China?
I don’t think that China is the only vector for a potential pandemic (MERS didn’t start in China after all), but China does have the crowded wet markets full of exotic animals trapped from all over the country in small cages, which is the good way to get a virus to make the jump to us. That may or may not have been what happened with COVID, but it is a huge risk even if it has yet to happen.
if you think wet markets are a good source of zoonotic viruses I have great news about factory-farms
