That virus stuff is beyond my pay grade, I was really just trying to find a way to work that Austin Powers scene into a discussion somewhere and this was about as close as I could get to a topic that would support it đ
However, our whole world is shut down over a virus that wasnât supposed to be able to jump from animals to humans. But it did. I am not really pushing the theory that hard, as again, it is way above my pay grade. But you have to wonder about those kinds of things, as isolated things are meant to stay isolated. Whether it is zebra mussels or other invasive species, or viruses, inter-planetary travel could have the possibility of bringing something here that doesnât have a natural check in our nature checks and balances kind of planet.

I recall an article by someone purporting to know about such things. They suggested that we needn't be worried about alien viruses because they would have evolved in a world with no humans and no creatures anything like humans. Therefore they couldn't have evolved the means to infect human cells and use them to multiply. .....but until we meet an alien virus we won't know what one looks like.

Globalization brings its own set up problems, travel to and from other planets could also bring some new challenges to us that are bigger than this virus.

And I think that prediction was before the virus hit. I think the 2008 recession caused lower rate of family formation, home ownership, and yes procreation. If I were at the age where you decide to âstart a familyâ, Iâm not sure Iâd decide to bring someone into the world right now. Wait and see what life post apocalypse looks like. I wouldnât be surprised if some people were freezing eggs and stuff. Or signing up with SpaceX for that Mars colony.
