re: #302 Dr Lizardo

It’s all to easy to imagine that the Beijing central government is in full-on coverup mode - much like how the Soviets were in dealing with the Chernobyl disaster back in 1986; they knew they had an absolute shitstorm of a disaster on their hands, but they didn’t want to look incompetent or foolish in the eyes of the world.

If it turns out to be as bad as we can imagine…

The plague really sucked at the time. Utter misery. But 150 years later, the world was much better off for it having happened. There’s times I think the planet might really appreciate if there was 1/3 fewer people on it.
