If your were to engineer the most diabolical infectious disease, what would it be?

[happy medium]

A virus that's takes the alien out of us humans.

Or mabe a virus that makes us all tell the truth.

 

[highland145]

It's like shooting fishsticks in the freezer. Sometimes, I almost feel bad.

That is funny.

 

[sdifox]

Needs a much longer no-symptoms period if it's going to reach our hypothetical Mars colony undetected.

I contract those out to Marvin the Martian.

The truly diabolical would engineer one that causes no symptoms other than an immunodeficiency after a long incubation period... then release the second part that specifically infects and kills everyone who had the previous one by exploiting the engineered immunodeficiency.

 

[Torn Mind]

No symptom for four months, contagious from day 1. High fever leading to organ failure.

You nailed the trifecta. Contagiousness, legality, and the incubation period.

If the Chinese keep sending these diseases out to the world, one eventually will have a combination which will allow it to reach he tipping point.

Ah, the days when folks were carefree before COVID provided...real world experience....

@gill77 with some excellent foreshadowing.

[ultimatebob]

I would create a virus, that makes everyone just say "Bob". Over and over again. Think Billy Gates would be interested in the idea?

Bob is an awesome name, anyway

If Plague, Inc taught me anything, it's that your ideal plague should be contagious as hell but have little or no visible symptoms. You then wait for everyone to get infected worldwide, and THEN suddenly develop fatal symptoms. Poor humanity never gets a chance to respond.

I believe that was supposed to be lethality.

Haha. I misspell things all the damn time here.

[Braznor]

the crazy murderous ones, though--the ones that go out literally beheading Muslims because that rat-fucker Modi commands it, actually believe that cows contain the souls of some 20 million gods or some shit.

not making that up. Some people are truly fucked in the head for all sorts of reasons.

HA HA HA.

Loser.

India has never been more peaceful. Thank you, Modi.

This was posted at the beginning of the pandemic, we already knew about it.

For op, fast spread, asymptomatic, sterilizes 99.9% of women. Probably already a SciFi plot somewhere. We'd create so much anarchy of our own, the disease itself wouldn't have to do much else.

 

[Red Squirrel]

A virus that just makes you test positive for covid-19. That's it. Does nothing else.

You'll spend the rest of your life having to quarantine for 14 days any time you're required to get tested.

[Captante]

One which leads to explosive anal-sphincter bleeding?

 

[kage69]

I would engineer one that was airborne and targeted the memory and ability to sleep, but only after a months long incubation.

Runner up: a virus that produces Persistant Genital Arousal Syndrome, followed by migraines.

HA HA HA.

Loser.

India has never been more peaceful. Thank you, Modi.

Indian women aren't laughing.

 

[Captante]

Some people A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE EVERYWHERE are truly fucked in the head AND SO FVCKING STUPID ITS DIFFICULT TO CONCEIVE.

Fixed. (unfortunately)

HA HA HA.

Loser.

What fantasy world do you live in numb-nut?

Modi is a skid-mark on India's drawers.... I'd almost prefer Trump over him.

 

[Captante]

whoops dbl.

 

[Braznor]

Enlighten me Genius. Tell me how Modi is causing Indian women to be oppressed

 

[Braznor]

Of course you will prefer an incompetent Trump to a competent Modi. Modi is much more preferable compared to the incompetent corrupt congress clowns.

Mmmmmmkay......

I've bolded what I'm taking away from this post ... and I'm not referring to Trump -OR- Modi this time rotfl.


EDIT: As a reminder the stinking sewer-pit of P&N is right next door and I'm certain you'll find a bunch of bitter and angr ... erm... nice ... I meant NICE (!!!) fellow AT members to chat up over there.

Yeah, I already had my N95 masks over a week at that point. Bought them at Lowe’s the day after I saw sites in Chinese instructing Chinese abroad to buy them and ship to China. Lowe’s shelves were already bare but I found some extras hanging at an end cap.
