Yup, more suffering in sight for everyone in the area, including the Israelis themselves.
Is this an isolated/regional case or is CDU/CSU experiencing some kind of resurgence?
Or how about…I don’t know…just stop bombing them instead?
This is just plain scary…made me feel rather queasy. I would like to think no wildlife was harmed in the process

I wonder what would have happened if they’d sunk their own ship.
That’s at the very least several thousands living beings eradicated during each of these explosions, if not more.
Probably need a Crime & Punishment thread for the following article.

The Bourbon virus
The Bourbon virus is named after Bourbon County, Kansas, where it was first discovered in a human patient in 2014 (the patient ultimately died 11 days after becoming sick). Symptoms of infection include fever, fatigue, and body aches, as well as nausea and vomiting; people can also develop low platelet and white blood cell levels. Its primary vector is the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum). There are no specific treatments or vaccines for Bourbon.
Good job the CDC is in such good shape.
