I don’t wanna get my hopes up so fear-mongering aside, how actually likely is any of this?

Because I keep remembering that humans are notoriously bad at future prediction.

Surely you aren't expecting a calculated probability between 0% and 100%. The most useful thing the scientists can do for us here is to prepare for the worse (while hoping for the best), and that is done by carefully selecting the recommendations they chose to publish (in the article).

Don't worry, I'm sure Trump and his cultists will fuck this one up for us too.

Maybe Trump’s narcissism will work in our favor this time. He’s been impeached twice, among other things. Does he also want to go down in history as the president who exacerbated TWO pandemics?

I look forward to our next pandemic…
