Climate change will probably finish humanity way before a more powerful such virus has a chance, though, so I wouldn't worry that much about it.
Well yeah that's already been spoiled, unfortunately.
When the media companies can no longer scare people with the virus, they're gonna go full force on climate change.

Black death had a super high mortality and infection rate
It also was 700 years ago, long before modern medicine, but what do I know?
Natural selection is a thing. Modern medicine is good but it has also made modern bacteria much more resistant to antibiotics.

To be honest, the virus itself was the least worrying part of this situation.
This pandemic has already stabilized but it's not going away anytime soon. No one knows how long the vaccine effects will last plus I'm sure there will always be more variations in the future.
Now think about the really awful future possibilities...
Remember the incessant fearmongering from the media companies?
This virus spreads violently fast, however the mortality is very low.
So there are still some people who don't even think there was a real problem, because they didn't really witness any of the "end of the world" scenarios that were being predicted.
Now you remember a certain country mysteriously having a surplus of personal protective equipment just ready for exporting at very low prices, for no reason at all? The manufacturers from other countries literally had no chance to react.
And all this happened with people getting the masks and vaccines mostly because of peer pressure.
Now what do you think it's gonna happen if there's a REALLY serious pandemic in the future, with an ebola-like mortality rate?
What if people were actually afraid to die and rushed to buy and hoard protective equipment? People fighting to wait in long lines just to get the life-saving shot...
What about the skeptics who will think the media companies are just exaggerating again and won't do anything until it's too late?
Yeah, it's gonna be amazing. I wonder if this certain country would get lucky again...
Also "flatten the curve" was a hilarious meme.

PROTIP #2: Avoid virtue signallers as well.
You know, yet more miserable people who care more about showing moral superiority than resolving problems.

Here's a protip: don't listen to grown men with ponies as profile picture.
Misery loves company and they won't hesitate to drag you down to their level.
You know, those miserable people who consider everything political and everyone who disagrees with them is a nazi.

Yep, it's good.
It ends the game as fast as possible, alright.
The only reason not to accept it is if this same bug can be performed on many other games. In such case a new category should be created.

Continuing from my previous message:
I have found a job for next year which I'm very happy about.
The search was very tedious and I was almost giving up, but I guess the journey continues.
The situation with my parents still goes on. My father wants to do everything in my name for me. I can't learn how to stand up on my own feet. My mother buys clothes for me and starts emotionally hurting me when I don't want them. It is similar with my father when I want to do things my way. It's like he hates my ways, because he has no control over it. He would then say I'd know everything better anyway...
But thanks to my psychologist and also the book recommendation by SSBMstuff, I can slowly become more independent and detached from those emotions. It is not my problem that my parents can't cope with "no"s. I still feel bad, but I'm trying my hardest to not let it get to me.
There are plenty of things that aren't going as planned recently, mostly has to do with people not wanting me to be with them, or events that I've been looking forward to for the whole year and I'm not invited to them. So like the previous summer, I feel like "everyone is doing fun stuff together, but I'm left out". It's not as bad this time, since I got some stuff to do and places to go here and there. But yeah...
