And whilst I'm in an unsettling mode, I'm going to continue the theme by divulging the recurring dream I've been having for a few months now. The one with Kwacky's spiders...
It's different every time. Well, that is to say it's the same every time, just the detail focus that changes/evolves.
(Very) Basically (because it's very involved & detailed) the overview is this.:
Trump & other world leaders are pressuring for a vaccine, because the virus is inconvenient & hitting profitability of the societies that support the lavish lifestyles of their leaders.
So they create a worldwide competition to find a vaccine, with billions $$$ offered to the first organisation that can produce one by any means.
The media attention goes viral, and everyone from the most forensic lab to crackpots applies for the offered samples of the virus, so that they can try for the prize.
Every applicant gets one sample of the virus. This proves problematic for many applicants, as they soon use all their allocated sample.
Somewhere in the world, in a small vivisection lab, a young scientist finds a way to genetically tamper with his company's sample, so that it can be used on smaller animals & therefore much smaller volumes are used in testing.
Somewhere else in the world an effective vaccine is produced, and a winner lauded with universal praise from Global power leaders.
Within months the world is vaccinated against Cv19, and not one more infection is reported..
Kwacky posts up on here that his spiders are dying....
The abandoned test samples of genetically altered virus gradually spread across the world, infecting small creatures & insects. No one notices at first, in fact the global dying out of mice & rats is welcomed.
Mosquito's disappear, and Malaria almost completely ceases. Insect blights of crops cease, and 2020 produces the highest yield of crop ever.
This is fortunate, because the lockdown baby-boom coupled with the reduced deaths from disease see the population curve become almost a vertical line.
It doesn't take very long....
The global cross-species pandemic wreaks havoc with the world's ecosystem & (long story short) it collapses. Even fish fall victim to Cv19.
We are left with a planet that has plenty of humans & nothing much else.
Sleep well..
