    Whatever we may do to mitigate disease, nature will find a new way to cull or control the population of Human Beings, the destructive species.

    With smoking, I got out of that universe a long time ago…at the age of 12.

    On the other hand, much of recent conversation turns on the likely effect of being too clean, and thus opening one to untold bacteria and possible infections. One report said the more children play outdoors the more likely they are to build basic immunity against infections, etc. There was an old saying about that, i.e. a little dirt will never hurt.

    Don’t count bacteria out just yet, superbugs, they’re adapting to our antibiotics. You can be too aseptic, as Sanderling pointed out. Processed food is bad for you. Unfortunately, at present, you can’t trust a capitalist food industry, the Western food industry will kill you with fat, salt and sugar, the Chinese literally with poison additives.

    Look around you at the people who go by on the street and it’s really easy to see what has replaced smoking. Obesity.

    An excellent book on the topic of the biome around us all the time is Rob Dunn’s Never Home Alone: From Microbes to Millipedes, Camel Crickets, and Honeybees, the Natural History of Where We Live. Dunn makes a strong case that the chemical warfare we’re waging on the very few natural species that are harmful to humans is wreaking vast, unnecessary collateral damage on the vast majority that are either benign or helpful, and that this will work to the long-term detriment of humanity, as already evidenced by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

    This is why Mother Nature allows oil and coal companies. What super bugs can’t accomplish, we’ll do for ourselves!

    http://www.gocomics.com/frazz/2019/11/20Why, yes, I believe that is a Shaun of the Dead t-shirt Frazz is wearing subtly there. I liked that movie, even though, for all the hype, it wasn’t an especially different take. In fact, it stuck pretty close to the formula. And it was great fun anyway, and it did make a point, and that’s something. If someone’s going to have his entrails devoured, he should get the satisfaction of being part of a larger point.

    Smoking is a slow killer. Bacterial and virus diseases affect people at young ages so eliminating their lethality is necessary before smoking becomes a major factor.

    This strip at this specific time was kind of prophetic. I doubt that Jeff had heard of the mysterious disease that started just then in China.

    But in the following years this seriously tilted the scales for germs as the number one killer.
