This annual first Sunday of the season with no tackle football is always tough for an NFL fan. It's a stark reminder of the football-free future that will follow next week's Super Bowl. Of course the annual Pro Bowl is scheduled for this afternoon. So yeah, as I say, today is the first Sunday of the season with no tackle football. Boo hoo.

— a fatality rate of more than 50 per cent.

That would cause some supply problems if it became as communicable as covid-19 was...

Actually this is the main reason why these types of viruses don't spread. They kill their hosts way too efficiently and quickly for them to become a pandemic threat. When I say WHO should do their job, I mean they should keep their mouths shut and do their job, hence my reference to them "crying wolf". It feeds the antivaxxer and pandemic denier rhetoric.
