This isn’t going to accomplish much. The best exploits are the ones that haven’t been discovered yet, so there’s no way to test for them. See also all the counterfeit crap on Amazon that’s somehow “MiFi certified” and “UL listed”. Companies that make sketchy crap will just slap a fake version of this label on their packaging.
As someone said: “The ‘S’ in ‘IoT’ stands for Security”.
I expect this to do very little to the problem, where consumers don’t understand and care enough to pay extra for secure stuff, and producers will not spend resources on something that consumers don’t want to pay for.
The laws that I see working are the ones that punish companies that, by negligence in security measures, enable private data to be leaked.
You can never leave this decision as a choice to the consumer.
As the disease progresses, the person may experience delirium, abnormal behavior, hallucinations, hydrophobia (fear of water), and insomnia. The acute period of disease typically ends after 2 to 10 days. Once clinical signs of rabies appear, the disease is nearly always fatal,
You’re taking this way more seriously than it was intended. It was an off the cuff comment. I just took the known history of rabies and divided it by known survivors.
And? All that needs to happen for a major world outbreak now that almost no one has any immunity is for it to escape from a lab or a vial in cardboard box somewhere.
How many millions died from COVID? Try billions.
Let me tell you what, that would sure reduce our carbon footprint and the price of housing.
It’s extinct in the wild. It’s still frozen in labs, and the soviet union made it in vast quantities before falling apart. There’s also samples sitting around that are occasionally found.
It’s not completely gone. That’s why they still vaccinate you for it when you join the military.
A simple search would tell you that there is a great deal of controversy over the fact that this virus is not gone forever.
Try to be better and not amplify false statements.
I literally saw lady letting fucking hellspawn of a child COVERED IN CHICKEN POX run around barefoot at Aldi a few weeks ago. I was so panicked I didn’t know what to do because I didn’t even see them until I was walking out so I just got out as fast as I could. My wife has never had chickenpox, and adult chickenpox can apparently be much more deadly, so it was definitely kind of terrifying.
I’ll have to check to see if she’s gotten it. I can’t imagine she’s gone this long without getting chickenpox and not being vaccinated for it, but I don’t think the chickenpox vaccine was as widely known of when we were kids in the 90s.
Cats too. I hate that people let cats roam, it’s irresponsible and shitty to just let your pet out to do whatever it wants with everyone else’s property. And now there are gonna be unvaccinated, rabid cats roaming and infecting it further.
Hey maybe the apocalypse is coming and this is the start of a zombie/aggressive rabies outbreak!
Do they deserve to explore and suffer horrible injuries and/or death? All the while decimating local bird populations, and, if not spayed or neutered, creating more kittens to live lives full of suffering and hardship?
Why would I like to know that you’re proud of potentially causing suffering to your pets and other animals?
Even just today I had to rescue a kitten who had been yelling for hours near my house because their owners let them outside. At least she was microchipped so we could find them easily, but she was not happy about it at all. Came running after me as soon as she saw me, and ran inside the house when I opened the kitchen door.
Can you imagine if dog people just opened their doors at night, let their dogs fuck off to wreck property, kill pets, get killed themselves, and destroy native birds and animals? They’d rightly be called out and have their pets taken away. Take care of YOUR pet and keep it on YOUR property. I’ve had issues with neighbor cats causing damages to my property, and if your pet becomes my pest, I will treat it as such.
I remember a neighbor’s cat once almost tore through my window screen to get at my pet parrot. If that cat had made it inside my house and attacked my pet, he would not have made it out alive.
Sure, but with the much bigger minus that rabid dogs are also likely to bite a lot of perfectly innocent people, particularly kids, and even more particularly, kids who have crazy anti-vaxxer parents that might not get them a (human) rabies shot in time to save their life after a dog bite.
(note how many kids die of self-inflected gunshot wounds because their parents are too stupid to keep them safe from those)
As a kid I remember a rabid dog confronting me in an alley. A cop showed up an shot him dead. You might think I would be traumatized, but actually thought it was kind of cool.
Any evolution or opportunity for it through any spread, especially in human adjacent vectors, is super bad news. A respiratory communicable rabies would be a potential "doomsday virus". We really don't want rabies picking up any new tricks.
I have extended family members who have fake COVID vaccine cards. How tough do you think it will be to fake a dog’s status, or even find an insane veterinarian who is willing to sign on the dotted line for a little moolah?
Honestly, it’s more worth reading than the article. It’s 7 pages, not including references and data.
I was wondering who the 2,200 people were. From the study:
Data
Data for this study are derived from a nationally representative online survey of N = 2,200 US adults, conducted between March 30 - April 10, 2023. We administered this study in partnership with YouGov…
…YouGov did this for our study by first pulling a simple random sample of responses from nationally representative US Census data, …These individuals were then invited to participate in our study.
The firm then corrected for any remaining deviations … on the basis of respondents’ racial identity, gender identity, age, educational attainment, and 2020 US Presidential vote choice.
Stage 1 Results: The Prevalence and Politicization of CVH
We begin our analysis by considering the prevalence of CVH among dog owners. As Table 3 demonstrates, a large minority of dog owners consider vaccines administered to dogs to be unsafe (37%), ineffective (22%), and/or unnecessary (30%). Correspondingly, we find that a slight majority of dog owners (53%) can be considered to be vaccine hesitant; i.e., because they endorse at least one of these three positions (see: Measures)
Problem is our country tells each of our 50 states to do the education thing… so that leads to a huge range of outcomes for the unlucky students born into the wrong state.
I never watched it and even I know about Old Yeller. This is just animal cruelty with how well known the disease is.
edit: Also isn't Rabies also a disease that targets the brain? Like the mother of all trades. Autism or Rabies /s (and yes I know one of those wouldn't even happen)
Rabies doesn’t just “target” the brain. It fucking nukes that shit. Untreated rabies is one of the scariest diseases that exists. Once you’re feeling symptoms, you are 99% fucked to a slow incredibly awful death.
More like 99.99999999999999999999999999999…well, you get the point. In all of human history, there have only been a handful of confirmed survivors of rabies. It’s the most lethal disease known to man.
I give it 7 years before we hear a story about a rash of children getting rabies and dying probably somewhere in the southeast or Midwest from a rabies outbreak.
because the AR15 and the attack dog aren't enough danger to have around the house, they also need rabid attack dogs.. it makes sense.. it's an upgrade to home security..
