So, bats didn't do it after all!!!
DarthPalageus
Do you want zombies? Because this is how you get zombies.
AnnieGitchYerGun
Isn't this the plot of newish Tomb Raider?
ChorizoCannon
Can we please stop looking fir old diseases? K, thanks!

As someone working in the infection ward at a Swedish hospital, my heart is descending towards my butthole.

Think of all the diseases out there we have yet to find that couldn't spread because of travel time
SgtDefaultGN
And they couldn’t just leave it there eh?
Callfordirections
Time to start prepping
ministryofpeace
Scientists gene sequence and reproduce the strain, wonder why other people get upset
wondersquid
Good. We're overdue for a plague.
sliyver
we have to nuke sweden
FragileDonkey
I've seen enough movies to know how this ends.
fleacollerindustry
With a perfectly sensible quarantine plan where the infected are treated or at least kept away from other ppl such that the virus dies off??
PatrikLilja
I got to University of Gothenburg. I'm staying home today.
asmallcat
There's no way it's still alive and contagious, btw.

You want to have zombies cause that’s how you get zombies

Like that show fortitude where they find a prehistoric disease in a frozen mammoth.
idontknowyoufromadam
They apparently found DNA traces of Yersinia Pestis which is what caused the Black Death and other major plagues. 1/2

oh my
TaBach
You want reduce the population, that 's how
mormacil
The main reason the Black Plague was so deadly was we didn't understand how it spread. It's survives poorly outside living hosts.
MidlandRedux
Fun theory: the genetics of being blonde offers partial genetic resistance to this particular strain of plague.
FarenDin
fucking sweden! as i norwegiab i dont feel safe letting those meatball-heads handle some plague.... too close..
Ariltongadottir
Tell us why your skiing team wins every thing all the freaking time, and we will put it back in the ground. Deal?
FarenDin
allright! you play a hard bargain sweden. the secret is... meatcakes in brownsauce with potato and lingonberryjam instead of meatballs!
flack9099
What is lingonberryjam?
FarenDin
its lingon berries stirred together with sugar. very normal to eat together with meats here in the north :)
FarenDin
now we dont need aniter svartedauden! we can give you another mountain to lesrn to skii on back aswell!
CstGreenman
Greenland will be fine.
greenlandic
Phew, dodged a bullet on that one, I guess
Ausmerica
Madagascar will be safe.
IamAorc
I get it, so hard to get it Infectes and it spreads so slow. Fk that land (not rly, seems like a beautifull place).
Schmerbie
This is the start of Nicolas Cage movie for sure
Ilove314159
Or a tom cruise one.
GrimFinn
This is literally the plot of the Tomb Raider movie
ImDoggo
Nah, it can't possibly be that bad.

Oh hell! Fucking 12 Monkeys!!!!

Anyone else watch the show on Syfy? I think its pretty good
Dxb105
Halfway through season 3 great show
JackAxton
My friend wanted me to ask what show?
Roggerman12
12 monkeys
PotooGeatAndWise
Wait.. they made it a TV show?
BobbiDigital
Yupp, and its really good
BamboozleInsurance
Yess it is so good
CirB
Is this news? Anyone not following what's been going on at Russian Arctic?!?
butteredtoast789
whats going on in the artic?
pugofstardock
Nothing move along
CirB
Anthrax epidemic due to melting permafrost.
mormacil
Melting permafrost is releasing old strains of anthrax that's devastating reindeer populations and any people herding them.
flack9099
Don't forget their oil spill too in the arctic
doesntmatter
This... Is literally so commonplace Sweden's oldest animal-rearing law has to do with how to bury cattle as to not cause it.
Ariltongadottir
Sry, tired, might misunderstood. But parts of Sweden had problem with anthrax during the past super-dry summers.
doesntmatter
That might be so? Juridicia visavi how you're allowed to bury livestock is still Sweden's oldest law regarding the handling on animals
Ilikeitwhenyoucallmebigpapa
Wellp. That's it. This is how it's gunna start.
thomerow
Serious question: is this bad news? Anyone have a quick TL;DR of the article?
DoctorDoomTootsAsHePleases
Sweet because I was not planning on repaying my student loans!
ButtBeadBandit
Do you regret this comment now?
aegis27
It's a bacterium, and susceptible to our current antibiotics. It's only once it adapts to those that we're in trouble.
CRAAAAAAIIIIIIIIG
This one aged well....

Oooooh boy. If u knew how it really started

Was this coronavirus origin?

I for one welcome The Walking Dead

This is not the first time a strain of plague has been discovered. There was one in India a while back, 5-15 years ago or something
SuperPantsWasTaken
Aaaw! I live there. The movies all promised the break out would start in the US!
DarxarVolshar
What you mean unknown. It's known and its the oldest one they have found to date.
Arkvoodle
About damn time.
Doopapotamus
I've been waiting! Was damn near about to walk out with this shoddy service.
bravecatgaming
1 year later it happens and now were all fucking sick of it

Right?
mackadotious
magmadar
why contain it ?
SolKiwi
Yeah, pretty much... not like this hasnt been warned about for decades/centuries.

We can only hope.

It'd be the first time Sweden starts major shit in Europe
ThePastmaster
Sweden ruled a fair bit of Europe at one time.
glokamir
King Carolus Rex would like to have some words with you.
sophiachan213
No allegiance I will swear no oath Crowned by god not by the church As my power is divine
SatansLittleButtPlug
Uhm no. They used to be the asshole of Scandinavia and started major shit with Russia. Poland. Norway. Denmark and many more.
TreesNStuff
Started, ended, ruled*
MaleTinderSlvt
As someone from northern Germany I kindly disagree with you, Sweden was a being a dick back in the day.
TreesNStuff
First time, you say? Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_Sweden
tumppu
They've done europe already (see: 30 year war, or great northern war). This plague thing could be major whit worldwide though.
ID1746
Aw hell no. They've been quiet the past 200 years. Lets keep it that way. No need to awaken them for a new Conquest of (northern) Europe.
ThePastmaster
DEUS VULT! Oh, wait, wrong meme...
mormacil
Nah while we have no vaccines it's rather easy to contain a plague outbreak with modern techniques like rubber gloves, soap and masks.
rentalmech
I come from the future with bad news
SupermarketDancer
This did not age well.
TextNotAvailable
From the future: you underestimated the stupidity of the masses.
Trapphus
Uhmmm...about that
ThisPleasesMe
Hahaha! Found this on random and was about to say the same.
Djohaal
Hush. Biology knowledge isnt loud enough compared to roaring ignorance
mormacil
Ain't that the truth these days
Djohaal
My favourite is comment sections whenever cody is playing with mercury. So much stupidity
Renstthegif
It's called antibiotics. Look it up.
mormacil
Seriously just an apron and latex gloves reduces infection significantly. People bare handed washed and carried Septicemic victims...
Arcian
You're underestimating the stupidity and incompetence of a panicked horde of humans trying not to get the plague.
mormacil
The only real lethal part of the plague is that it kills in 24-48 hours but if you don't go house to house covered in infected blood 1/2
mormacil
you're pretty much fine. It's even less dangerous then ebola. Hell the flu is several times more infectious. 2/2
ToasterDent
Nope, once people can't get their Pop Tarts, the veneer of society falls apart and it all goes to hell.
SupermarketDancer
I am terrified to see how accurate it has been.
mormacil
But it won't fall apart because we practice modern medicine and sell soap in every grocery store, we have hospitals. The plague is a very1/2
mormacil
deadly disease that acts quickly but its neither highly infectious or hard to kill.We contain it every year in Africa with minimal deaths2/2
ensensu
Seems like we've contained everything in Africa. From Ebola to HIV.
onlyhalfghost
Border of Texas and Mexico has a few outbreaks a year too, it's down to about 30% fatality rate and basically no spread.
ITalkAboutGoats
How about the 1916 flu? Now that's some scary shit
