Some are not comfortable with thoughts of doom and death.  Morford isn't one of them:

Ha. Turns out even our most potent wonderdrug is proving less and less effective at blocking and preventing influenza's clever variants, as nature proves, once again, increasingly effective at defying every pathetic attempt to keep her darker tendencies in check. Go figure.

No matter. It will soon all become moot anyway. When the supervolcano erupts.

Did you hear? It's quite possible. Right there, under Mount St. Helens up in Washington state, scientists think they can see a true, epic monster of an eruption brewing, one far more intense than the classic 1980 model, a perfect storm of gasses and pressure and molten magma, all of it the size of, well, a mountain. Times ten.

There's little I can say at this point but Have a Nice Day!
