Judging by the strength of this years' flu virus, you still have hope for a pandemic.

In ****hole Asian and East Asian countries, people live in shacks on stilts with holes in the floor for toilets. Down below is where their poultry and pigs live in the swampy dirt. This is an ideal cross species incubator for new and deadly influenza viruses. Which are quickly spread all over the world via air travel. My mother told us back when we were kids that somedoay there would be "virus X". When any species becomes overpopulated this is the way mother nature (another non Disneyland type of mother) balances the population.

This one won't even kill a thousandth of us.
The next one probably won't either.

Want to know when the real killer will arrive?

Look for it to arrive after about two years of some
other disaster, like a widespread famine, or a war
that covers multiple regions.

Exactly right.

The US population is too well-fed to suffer from a pandemic. Pandemics (or epidemics) strike those whose nutrition is sub-par. Yes, there is some overlap, but generally speaking. Ebola killed many in Africa a couple years ago, but never gained a foothold here, despite people brought here for treatment - plus a lot who were NOT here for treatment but died of it anyway.

If you want to kill off a nation, interrupt its food supply. Famine isn't all you'll get.

To get back on the subject:
What was it James T Kirk said comes with war?
Something about destruction, famine, pestilence, and disease...

And I suspect that if one nuclear weapon goes off
anywhere in or over a populated area, there will be
a lot of those things, in a lot of places.

LFM has been pretty quiet lately, and that
is a plus, but I suspect he will show his ass
after the Olympics are over. Right now he
is trying to pretend he is a good guy

I wonder how many hours will go by with
people trying to post to Facebook about it,
when a Nuke really does hit us
What is LFM? I can find nothing on google about it.

Little Fat Man

I used to call him Crazy Fat Kid, but LFM seems to be more popular.

Of course, Google wouldn't be friendly to articles that
demean their little friend.

So apparently it was not a mistaken "button push" that led to the hawaii missile alert

The "revised story" now says the emergency computer operator actually thought they were under attack, and the threat was real. He didn't realise it was a drill.

I wonder why it is, if you change your story, the government
would call you a liar, and claim you are trying to hide something,
but they always change their story
