gollark: <@665664987578236961> Why are you trying to compare flu season deaths to COVID-19 deaths? Are you aware of the idea of "different numbers of people being infected right now" and "exponential growth"?
gollark: Seems reasonable.
gollark: Now, rebuilding society will be much easier if your bunker also contains a giant manufacturing facility with everything needed to make at least late-20th-century tech. But that would need people to operate, so add those too, and also extra room and food and whatnot for them.
gollark: Ridiculous. Just make toilet paper out of trees directly.
gollark: And you need entertainment as well, so probably a few hundred terabytes of HDDs so you can store every movie you're ever likely to watch, with redundancy, and you might as well just store every scientific paper and book ever written to help rebuild society.
