Pandemic - Run the virus through the community during the summer, instead of

Rotten meat is sterilized by cooking but this doesn't do much for the smell,
ammonia does though.
           and come on ....
what does a little pink slime mixed into the beef slurry matter any way and
it's still 100% beef.

I think you got it right when you said our choices matter...

What is not so well understood is that many small bad choices can be cumulative and in some respects extremely hard if not impossible to reverse. In this respect nature acts like the saying "there is no almost pregnant and either they are or there not". The build up can be incremental but once the transition to poor health, a failing environment or poor life choices takes hold it generally starts to snowball.

This is why many couldn't wrap there mind around why Covid was such a problem. A few infected people isn't a problem, a few infecting others leading to exponential growth, a pandemic, hospitals being overrun and millions dead is. This is how nature works and it builds up slowly until the cumulative actions reaches a tipping point then all hell breaks loose. Most short sighted people couldn't see this but the real experts did which is why they knew preventative measures mean little after the fact when little can be done to reverse the damage. Once the tipping point comes into play there is little if nothing we can do and were just along for the ride.

If the theory holds then were going to see some major blow back in the environment and in general health because of the cumulative actions we have taken to date. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction somewhere and it always comes full circle.
