“Solving the pandemic was never in the cards for the capitalist world.
Instead, the explicit goal of the ruling class has been to make the pandemic simply disappear from public perception. Any reminder of the existence of a highly-transmissible, highly-dangerous, mass-disabling disease could trigger panic, or worse: organized, militant labor action. Averting this crisis required a careful campaign of culture-crafting; the people themselves needed to become convinced that there was no reason to fight. Consent for protracted mass infection needed to be manufactured.” Let Them Eat Plague! – The Red Clarion
If people think American scientists are somehow going to land in Europe, I've got news for you about the difference between millions and billions.
Predatory flatworms are found in damp habitats, such as under logs. They have an eversible tube-like throat called a ‘pharynx’, which externally digests their prey alive.
Here's one feeding on a land-hopper, a type of exclusively terrestrial shrimp found in the Southern Hemisphere. The New Zealand flatworm is an invasive species in parts of Europe, where it's threatening earthworm populations.
