    1. We’ve officially reached the boss level of Late Stage Capitalism: people literally betting on the end of the world just so they can finally afford a down payment.

    2. People hear mystery virus and suddenly remember urgent business they apparently must handle overseas immediately.

    3. Correct, they typically travel home after contracting a foreign virus in a foreign location.

      If a bacteria like toxoplasma can induce behavior changes then I don’t see why not viruses won’t do the same.

      It’s definitely the viruses influencing them.

    5. She’s dead now but I really wish she’d lived longer: I really wanted to berate the wife of patient zero.

      “Oh, my husband died of a mysterious respiratory virus after we’d spent all this time together in a cabin on a cruise ship. And now I’m starting to show symptoms? Oh well, better get on an airplane, I have a funeral to get to.”

      Should’ve thrown herself into the ocean to rid the world of her narcissistic stupidity

    6. The virus controlled their subconscious to increase its chances of multiplication

      I swear its like some viruses have a… mechanism? Like a cordyceps does (the fungus in The Last of Us), which when it infects an invertebrate it takes over their body and makes them go up trees etc so that when they die the spores release and spread further…

      I would not be at all surprised if some viruses have the same mechanism for humans. Get sick, better travel around, spread the love.

      I seem to remember this something about an African guy gets ebola and he immediately gets an airplane ticket to go elsewhere.

      San Francisco, New Orleans, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, Kinshasa, Karachi, Bangkok, Peking.

      “For business.”

    10. But really, there are 2 types of folks: First one stay at home to recover, second type just has some unexplainable URGE *not to* fucking stay at home.

      Maybe the virus rewires their brains or they’re just selfish (or dumb), I don’t know…
