my favourite max lore part 2 (link to part 1)

- max weighed 3265g (7.1lb) when he was born, which means he was actually a perfectly normal sized baby despite turning into a spherical chonk a few months later

- one of max’s gamer tags is crgboy007 and he was ranked 21st in the world on FIFA Ultimate Team in January 2019, and 31st in the world in August 2018. basically - when he sets his mind to something he will become one of the best in the world.

- not really my favourite but I feel I must set the record straight!!! he passed out in malaysia 2016, and despite the fact RedBull claim otherwise, yes he did and here is the very sexy evidence 😔

- max once provided the ultimate discord burn to a driver called bradley philpot who had bashed him regularly on twitter

- speaking of discord, when team redline disconnected from the 24hrs Le Mans he went on another rant and encouraged sim racers to DELETE THE GAME 😂 let’s go baby you tell em’ (he’s right and he should say it)

- he follows some very interesting instagrams accounts including pigsareawsm, capybara.lover_life, drunkbetch, barked (dog memes), thetinderblog and many more!!!

- max promised his sister, victoria, that he would buy her a handbag when he scored his first f1 points… apparently this was the first thing he thought about when he crossed the finish line in malaysia 2015

(I’m 99% sure she confirmed it was a lv speedy 25 ?? someone help me source that!!!)

- max’s favourite cheeses are gouda, halloumi, and mozzarella… he likes young cheeses 🧀

- max recently paid €4.99 to have a sleepy cat on his discord pfp

Malaysia 2016

-Cause I want to see more of Nico Roseberg

-The Malaysian circuit is so aesthetically shaped

-Mercedes 1-2

-“Lewis Hamilton: Second man in history to have a hundred starts from pole”

-Red Bull row 2, Ferrari row 3, Force India row 4

-Now that’s a lineup

-“Plenty of fans here for Nico Roseberg” Yes, me too

-I forgot how bad radio clarity was in 2016

-Massa just didn’t start the formation lap?

-Palmer losing power too?

-“The engine switched off” And Carlos?

-Oh no, Max and Sebastian making contact?

-Sebastian out!

-Wait he made contact with the Mercedes??

-Nico p21? What?!!

-Max: “Sebastian is crazy” Haha I missed him being a menace

-The thing about these 2016 races is that there is guaranteed to be a safety car, virtual or otherwise

-“Carlos Sainz restarted his own car” let’s go baby!

-*sigh* I already miss the leaderboard

-So cool watching Checo and Kimi race each other

-Nico overtake masterclass?

-Woah! Alonso up to p10! Didn’t he start last?

-Yay Nico p12! “Not too bad a recovery”

-Red Bull team drama incoming?

-Ah Grosjean out

-“We think he’s been told not to continue dissing the car” Already predicting the swear ban, they were ahead of their time fr

-Nico: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I’m getting the positive” So much sass

-Force India double stack!

-“Nico Roseberg having a little go on Nico Hulkenburg” Aaah who do I root for??

-Nico R back to points!

-I really miss the leaderboard

-“There goes Roseberg, down on the inside on Perez” p8!!

-“Mercedes Achilles heel is when they’re running in dirty air”

-Aw Kevin out

-Kimi vs Max!

(Watching Kimi race it out with anyone is always very fun, but apparently these two have been clashing for a few races now.)

-Haha, nvm, he’s in the pits. No battle here

-Oh? Max leading? Red Bull 1-2?

-I asked for it the last race I watched, so this is great!

-Never mind, Daniel pitted and now we’re back to Red Bull sandwich with Lewis in the middle

-Tracking the drivers with these old graphics is so hard

-I’m surprised Nico R has been stuck in p5 for a few laps now.

-Haha Romain’s “Yeah thanks” after being asked how he is, was cute

-Oh Max now pitting?

-Where are the Force Indias, I feel like they just dropped down all of a sudden

-And Carlos too

-“Verstappen and Hamilton: Story of the rest of the race isn’t it?”

-I mean only if Max goes past Daniel- which he could, with the new tires, but let’s see

-“Roseberg can’t make an impression on Raikonnen” How???

-“With a race like this, he surely would be out of the championship lead wouldn’t he?” Boo

-Oh he pit. Perez is through

-“The guinea pig Nico Roseberg” Huh, where did that come from?

-And Perez is gone

-Nico is back behind Kimi in p5

-“Fernando Alonso defending from Carlos Sainz” Let’s go Spaniards

-“Blue flag!”

-Go Nico (H)! He’s in the points!

-A moment of silence for Carlos, who’s out of the points

-Ugh James Vowles mentioned

-How is Nico (R) still p5

-Okay not him getting past Kimi as soon as I said that

-He did make contact tho :/

-Red Bull teammate drama incoming pt2?

<pause>

-That was amazing!

-I haven’t really seen Max and Daniel battle it out like that before!!

-“From the scene of Multi 21, can Christian Horner give a Multi 333?” Yeah no

-Aww young Gasly

-“It’s Lewis Hamilton! It’s a fire!”

-Lewis: “Oh no! No!”

-What the hell? That was so sudden

-“The ever reliable Mercedes engine has forced Hamilton out of the race” That must be devastating

-Red Bull double stack?? Now?? Crazy!

-Oh dear, another Haas has retired

-I’m convinced Lewis’ bad luck came from James Vowles being mentioned over the commentary

-*sigh* Roseberg 10s penalty

-At least my Red Bull 1-2, Maxiel dream podium is back

-I don’t care which one of them wins at this point, as long as it stays a 1-2

-“Do Red Bull feel that actually there’s a sense of justice to Daniel Ricciardo winning today, given what happened in Spain?”

-What happened in Spain?

-Also do the teams really care about poetic justice

-“Does Max Verstappen care?” I mean, I don’t think so

-“Good strategy for them today” Williams??

-“The gap for the championship will be 23 points for Roseberg going into the next race” Yay!

-Have a drink, 11 laps to go” Drinking a warm drink while driving hundreds of kilometers per hour really does not sound fun

-“Okay Roseberg has a 10s time penalty for the collision, you know what you need to do, stay within 10s and we go to the podium” Ha

-Just now noticing how weird the rear wings of these cars look

-Mark Webber somewhere cringing over the fact that they keep bringing up Multi 21

-Oh, Nico’s made it to over 10s?

-Ohmygod Mark Webber is at the race?? That’s hilarious

-Daniel win!!! Let’s go!!! I miss him so much!!!!

-Red Bull 1-2!!

-“Best of the rest after the Mercedes drivers. Number three in the championship battle”

-“Max has turned up and moved the game forward.”

-My favorite teammates fr

-Ohmygod he hasn’t won since 2014?? This win is so sweet then!!! Let’s go!!!

-“The first team other than Mercedes to get a 1-2!”

-Ayy not bad for Force India as well! Nico p8!

-Oh Lewis in his interview sounds so sad

-“I just can’t believe there are 8 Mercedes cars right now and only my engines are the ones that have been going this year. Something just doesn’t feel right” Oh?

-Wow he really sounds defeated

-Aaah Daniel happyyyy

-“Well, I need a drink. Thanks guys! We did bloody good!”

-“One of the most popular man in the paddock and on the grid” Yes baby!!

-“Embraces for Verstappen and Ricciardo” ❤️😭

-(✨post-race Max✨)

-DR: “Told you I’d win one” 😭

-CH: “Thanks for keeping it clean” haha

-Gotta admit Nico going from p21 to p3 was really cool

-Aww Pierre looking on at the podium

-Haha people waving their shoes

-Aaaah the shoeyyyy

-“I just wonder where it goes from here, for the shoe” ahahaha

-Ohmygod they all did it!! Max and Nico too!! Haha!

-Ahaha Mark mentioned Multi 333

-Threw away the shoe too!

-Aww Daniel almost being emotional

-I like these three on the podium. Very fun.

[maxybabyy]

will you tell us about maxiel mating rights by combat 😵‍💫😳‼️

absolutely!!! 🧡

a lot of the inspiration comes from this wonderful inception fic with other elements from omegaverse. in broad strokes, you have to earn the right to mate someone by beating them in a fight 🤼‍♂️ the claim is then sealed with a mating bite.

the fic itself is a very soft take on the concept and deals more with the change in trust between max and daniel from malaysia 2016 and onwards. sort of 'slow burn but they're fucking the whole time' vibes 🫣

i will leave you with these very relevant images and this gif set 😵‍💫😳

and this very brief excerpt under the cut:

“Max, baby,” Daniel hears himself say, breathless as Max makes the sound again.

He moves before he even knows it, the instinct loud in his head.  

Digs his knees into the backs of Max’s thighs and throws an arm around his waist, flips them over until Max is pressed into bed underneath him. He straddles his back, one hand spread wide over his spine to keep Max shoved into the bed as the other squeezes at the nape of his neck.

His body feels raw, burning up from the inside and still, he cannot let Max go.

Whenever Daniel had thought about this, he had imagined something more abstract: bruised knuckles and bitter egos, an all-around shitty start to courting. He knows a lot of people still does this, fights for mating rights. But never had he thought it could be like this, with someone so dear to him underneath him, barely a fight at all.

“Got you, Maxy,” he whispers, squeezes the hand still around his neck before he lets it fall to the bed.

I'm MEME

(Do memes (as it is popular in Malaysian politics) provide a useful way of understanding politics? 

What is a meme? 

The correct pronunciation for meme is meem (rhymes with dream). Meme is a common cultural phenomenon that is used to provide social criticism. Memes can be found through humorous images, videos, gifs and texts and it has become a norm in the digital era. You can find them on social media like Instagram, Facebook or X. A gif type meme can be found in the Instagram, Facebook and X comment section. You can also create your own meme in WhatsApp to reply to someone, and it can be about anything from current events. Nowadays, everyone uses meme to engage with one another. The origin of meme starts from biologist Richard Dawkins’s 1976 book (The Selfish Gene). According to Darwin, meme is a cultural unit that spreads from person to person, much as genes spread through reproduction. Memes, which translate to "that which is imitated," come from the Greek word mimema. The first ever internet meme is a 3D animated baby doing a cha-cha dance that became popular in the late 1990s known as “Dancing Baby” 

Meme in Politic  

Social media has been playing a critical role in political elections which make people are now often exposed to political information and able to voice their political opinions online thanks to political memes. However, not much is known about the people who exchange political memes on the internet or if being exposed to memes influences important political behavioral, emotional, and attitude effects. Nowadays, the community, especially the younger generation Z, regularly uses satire or memes as a form of expression and communication. Generation Z refers to people who were born after 1998 (Regan, 2000) and generation that was exposed to digital world.  

Meme politics were used to talk about politics during the 2016 US presidential election while appearing as entertainment, and many young voters based their political ideas on political memes from social media. (Alex, 2016; Bulatovic, 2019; Douglas, 2016). Many young people will be more likely to understand politics and see memes as an important source of information as they go through the generations. By doing this, the political meme creator will be able to create new memes that further convey and illustrate their political views, which they will then disseminate to a large audience regardless of the meme's quality. 

During Malaysia's most recent 15th General Election, memes were widely utilized on a variety of social media platforms. The meme's impact among youth on social media platforms was successful in changing Malaysian politics once more on PRU 14. Malaysians use around fifteen different social media sites to accomplish a wide range of everyday objectives (Mohamad Azmir Mohd Nizah & Mohammed Fazanizzam Zahran, 2022). One of the most used social media platforms at that time was WhatsApp followed by Facebook and Instagram. The messages meme gained popularity among younger people because it provided an amount of uniqueness that more accurately reflected the reality of the established social groups in media, politics, and advertising (Nieubuurt, 2021). The technique is also creative in that it uses memes to spread the word until it is accepted by everybody, becomes viral fast, and is always available to a big audience.  

For example, there are a few Malaysian politic memes that can be found all over the internet and for me, I found that the announcement for our new prime minister back in 2020 have the most hilarious meme in the history. Malaysians who are waiting for the result as to who our new Prime Minister would be are spending their time creating memes of the current situation while they wait. In the end of the day, the old prime minister is the new prime minister.

Do memes provide a useful way of understanding politics? 

In my opinion, yes meme does provide us a useful way to understand politic. The younger generations including me can understand politic easily through meme. Memes have more humor and satire to express a point which makes it impossible to figure out whether the content is fake or real.  

Memes are a helpful and significant way of communicating for the next generation. In the end, this made important topics that be presented can be in a style that is clearer, less formal, funny and easy to understand. 

Conclusion 

To conclude everything, people like the Malaysian citizen can understand politic better through memes because sometimes politic memes can help us to understand politics better than read from a textbook or online article. I do find memes can be relatable and hope the memes trend will never get old because memes mean a lot for us ><

What Happened In the Past Year?

How many relationships were you in? None. Haven't been since 2020 and I don't plan to change that.

What did you do for Valentine's day? I managed a Valentine's Day-themed event for one of my clients; my camera roll also reminds me that that same evening I went to Glorietta with my mom to try to find a gown that I intended to wear for a family friend's 18th birthday debut.

Did you receive your driver's license? I've had my license since 2016, so no. I didn't renew it last year either – that happened just a month ago since it only expired this year.

Did you graduate high school? I graduated in high school 2016.

Did you graduate college? Nope, that happened 2020.

Did you move out on your own? Nope, it'll be a while before I get to do that!

Did you get arrested? No.

Did you get a speeding ticket? I did not. Does anyone get pulled over for speeding in the Philippines ever? Haha but no that didn't happen and I fortunately never got pulled over for any reason last year either.

What was the best thing you got for Christmas? Airpods from my parents.

Did you fall in love? Nopes.

Did you become an aunt or an uncle? Nah, it'll still be a little while before that happens haha.

Did you have a baby? Definitely not me, no.

Did you get engaged? I did not.

Did you get married? No.

Did someone close to you die? Not really, but a childhood friend's dad passed away and I visited the family during the wake – my family and hers were definitely close during our younger years. It was the first time we met again after 15 years so to say it was a bittersweet reunion is an understatement.

Annoyingly small world, too – at that time my ex was a workmate of that childhood friend, so she also apparently was at the wake. Fortunately we never crossed paths as she was there hours before I was.

How many funerals did you go to? 0 funerals, 1 wake.

How many weddings? I knew a few people who got married, but I'm not close with any of them so I wasn't invited.

Did you turn 18? 7 years older than that.

Did you turn 21? 4 years older than that.

Did you turn 30? 5 years younger than that.

Did you have a car accident? Nah. The pandemic taught me to chill the fuck out so I definitely road rage a lot less – if not not at all. I'm super careful now even if it means being a bit slower and giving way a whole lot more.

Were you old enough to vote this year? I've been old enough to do so since 2016.

How many jobs did you have throughout the year? I got promoted twice in 2023 so that was certainly a fucking whiplash, lmao.

Did you get a new pet? No.

Did you get cheated on? Nope.

Did you cheat on someone? Also nope. I wasn't even in a relationship.

Did you start at a new school? No school for me anymore.

Did you make any new friends? Sure! All work people, but nonetheless all the new hires at the time were very easy to get along with and fun to talk to. Andi also introduced me to a few new people when we'd go to wrestling gigs, or, that one time, trivia night.

Did you get a new car? No, I'm perfectly happy with my current one.

Did you drastically change your hairstyle? Kind of. I mean technically I just re-dyed it back to purple, but it had faded to brown and I let it be brown for so long that the look felt completely new.

Did you go out of the country? Yeah, I had trips to Thailand and Malaysia.

Did you keep your last New Year's resolution? Sadly I didn't, because it was a particularly rough and draining work year last year.

What was the best movie you saw in theaters? I didn't watch anything in the cinema other than the theatrical screening of BTS in Busan, haha. And I loooooved that.

What was the best book you read? Probably just the official BTS memoir that came out that year which was also the only book I read in 2023.

What was your greatest accomplishment? Being able to save up for and plan a trip overseas for myself and my friends for the very first time.

What was the best CD released this year? Agust D, D-Day.

Did you get a new tattoo? No, and I don't have any tattoos.

A new piercing? Nope.

Are you still dating the same person you dated at the start of the year? I didn't date the whole year.

Who was the last person you spoke to in person? I think it was my sister.

Who was your last missed call? Trina.

The last book you read? Becky Lynch's memoir.

The last place you went? I was in Glorietta yesterday for a few work things.

The last time you cut your hair? April.

The color of the last shirt your wore? Before my current one, my shirt was brown.

The last game you played? RhyHi.

The last person's house you went to? I was at Angela's place last Monday to celebrate her passing the boards. And, unbeknownst to her at the time, I wanted to see her for the last time before she got proposed to.

The last un-related guy you hung out with? Hans.

The last un-related girl you hung out with? Anj, Reena. The four of us, essentially.

The last family member you hung out with? My sister.

The last movie you saw in theaters? I watched a snippet of You Got Mail when a client held a screening of it for Valentine's Day, but it was so deep into the story by the time I came in that it was hard to follow through and appreciate haha.

Who was your first phone call to/from? My first call in 2024 apparently came from Bea. I have absolutely no memory of what she called for lmao.

Where was the first place you went? UP! January 1st, I dropped by and picked an isolated spot to watch the sun set from there as well. I had very weird, very restless anxiety coming into 2024 and UP has constantly been the one place that can calm me down like no other.

What was the first thing you bought? Probably food at UP, haha. I think I may have gotten street food? Or coffee? Can barely remember.

Who was the first person to wish you "Happy New Year!"? My family, to one another.

What was the first thing you ate? I have absolutely no clue. My mom probably made breakfast, so a good guess would be fried rice, eggs, and hotdogs.

The first thing you drank? I was drinking wine when the clock struck 12. I also dropped the wine glass and nicked my leg not long after, lol.

What color was the first shirt you wore? I had on a black dress since I had also actually come from an NYE street party event of a client. We were allowed to leave by around 7 PM, though, so we could be at home in time for the new year. I could have stayed and watched Red Velvet who were performing, but I do not always get my dad home for the new year. I was for damn sure going home haha.

What were the first shoes you wore? Idk it was probably my fave Onitsuka Tiger pair.

What was the first electronic (not computer or cell) device you used? TV.

What was the first movie you watched? No idea.

Who was the first girl you hung out with? My sister.

Who was the first guy? My dad.

The first relative? My entire immediate family.

What was the first thing you did when it became the new year? Watched the fireworks :)

What the Future Year Has In Store

What are you most looking forward to in the New Year? I had major anxiety going into 2024 because there was a bunch of work shit that was taking effect January 1st, all of which I was directly affected by. That said I needed a lot of distractions during the New Year and one of the few things I recall being excited about is that this is the year that Jin and Hobi were finally getting discharged, lol.

Are you getting married this year? No

Are you expecting a child? Nopes.

Will you be getting a new job? I was going to, because I had actually resigned for real at one point. But we worked around it and I'm still here and in a much better place, and with no plans to leave soon.

Will you be moving to a new place? Not happening this year.

What movie are you most looking forward to coming out this year? Moana 2!

What book? None really.

What music album? Jin's :)

Do you expect to find love this year? No thanks.

Have you kept it so far?

Will you be going to a wedding this year? Nope! Not yet at least.

Will you get a new car? I am not.

Will you buy a house this year? Definitely not.

Do you expect to be with the same person at the end of the year? That's never the case, at least for me. I always come out of a year a little different.

Are you starting the year off single? Yes.

What do you most want to happen this year? Finding stability and satisfaction in my work. And going to more places I haven't been :)

What are you most excited about this year? My best friend's now engaged and idk how soon they'll start planning for their wedding, but I'm v excited to get involved and see how I can help!! :) :)

Factors for Next Pandemic It is certainly possible that there could be another epidemic or pandemic in the future, similar to COVID-19. Infectious diseases have been a constant threat throughout human history, and with the increasing globalization and interconnectedness of our world, the potential for the rapid spread of disease is higher than ever. There are several factors that can contribute to the emergence of new diseases, including: Zoonotic diseases: These are diseases that jump from animals to humans, and can occur when humans come into contact with infected animals or their products (such as meat or milk). Examples of zoonotic diseases include Ebola, SARS, and COVID-19. Environmental factors: Changes to the environment, such as deforestation or climate change, can alter the habitat of animals and insects, leading to new disease vectors or increased contact with humans. Human behavior: Human activities such as travel, trade, and urbanization can facilitate the spread of diseases across large distances and among large populations. Given these factors, it is likely that we will continue to see new infectious diseases emerge in the future. However, with advances in science and technology, as well as improvements in public health infrastructure and preparedness, we may be better equipped to prevent and respond to these outbreaks in the future. Potential Viruses for Future Pandemics There are many viruses that have the potential to cause epidemics or pandemics similar to COVID-19. Some of the most concerning viruses include: Influenza viruses: These viruses cause seasonal flu outbreaks every year and can occasionally lead to more severe pandemics, such as the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic that killed millions of people. Ebola virus: Ebola outbreaks have occurred in several African countries over the past few decades, with the largest outbreak occurring in West Africa in 2014-2016, resulting in more than 11,000 deaths. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus: MERS is a viral respiratory illness that was first identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012. It is spread from camels to humans and has a high mortality rate. Zika virus: Zika is a mosquito-borne virus that can cause birth defects in babies born to infected mothers. It first emerged in Brazil in 2015 and has since spread to other parts of the world. Nipah virus: Nipah is a bat-borne virus that can cause severe respiratory illness or encephalitis. It has caused outbreaks in several countries in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia and Bangladesh. These are just a few examples of viruses that have the potential to cause epidemics or pandemics. It is important to monitor and prepare for emerging infectious diseases to minimize their impact on human health. Zika Virus - Agent of Pandemic Zika virus is a mosquito-borne virus that was first discovered in the Zika Forest of Uganda in 1947. For many years, Zika virus outbreaks were rare and limited to Africa and Asia. However, in 2015, an outbreak began in Brazil and quickly spread to other countries in Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean. The symptoms of Zika virus infection are usually mild and include fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). Most people who are infected with Zika virus do not develop symptoms and those who do usually recover within a week without any specific treatment. However, there is a risk of complications, particularly for pregnant women. Zika virus infection during pregnancy can lead to birth defects, including microcephaly (a condition in which a baby's head is smaller than expected) and other neurological disorders. Zika virus is primarily transmitted through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes, but it can also be transmitted through sexual contact or from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. There is no specific treatment for Zika virus infection, and there is currently no vaccine available to prevent it.

Prevention measures include using mosquito repellent, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding travel to areas with known Zika virus outbreaks, particularly if pregnant or trying to conceive. Pregnant women who have been to areas with Zika virus transmission should be closely monitored for symptoms and potential complications. Although Zika virus outbreaks have decreased in recent years, it remains a concern in many parts of the world, particularly in areas where the Aedes mosquito is common. It is important to continue monitoring and studying the virus to better understand how it spreads and how to prevent and treat it. Ebola Virus - A Fatal Agent Ebola virus is a highly infectious and often fatal virus that belongs to the family Filoviridae. The virus was first identified in 1976 during two simultaneous outbreaks, one in Sudan and the other in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Since then, there have been sporadic outbreaks in Africa, with the largest outbreak occurring in West Africa from 2013-2016. The Ebola virus is transmitted through contact with bodily fluids of infected animals or humans, including blood, urine, feces, saliva, sweat, breast milk, and semen. The symptoms of Ebola virus include fever, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases, internal and external bleeding. There is no specific treatment for Ebola virus, but supportive care can help patients recover. Prevention and control measures include practicing good hygiene, avoiding contact with infected individuals or animals, wearing protective gear, and isolating infected patients. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers Ebola virus to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), and various international organizations, including the WHO, have worked to control outbreaks and prevent their spread. Nipah Virus - Highly Contagious Nipah virus is a highly contagious virus that belongs to the family Paramyxoviridae, genus Henipavirus. It was first identified during an outbreak of encephalitis and respiratory illness in Malaysia in 1998. The virus is named after the village in Malaysia where the outbreak occurred. Nipah virus can cause severe disease in both animals and humans. The natural host of the virus is fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family, which can spread the virus to other animals such as pigs, and from pigs to humans. Human-to-human transmission can also occur. Symptoms of Nipah virus infection in humans can range from fever, headache, and muscle pain to acute respiratory infection, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), and seizures. The mortality rate of Nipah virus infection ranges from 40% to 75%. There is no specific treatment for Nipah virus infection, and there is no vaccine available for humans. Prevention measures include avoiding exposure to sick animals, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding consumption of raw date palm sap, which has been implicated in the spread of the virus. Nipah virus outbreaks have been reported in several countries in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Singapore, Bangladesh, and India. The virus is considered a potential pandemic threat by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Factors for Next Pandemic It is certainly possible that there could be another epidemic or pandemic in the future, similar to COVID-19. Infectious diseases have been a constant threat throughout human history, and with the increasing globalization and interconnectedness of our world, the potential for the rapid spread of disease is higher than ever. There are several factors that can contribute to the emergence of new diseases, including: Zoonotic diseases: These are diseases that jump from animals to humans, and can occur when humans come into contact with infected animals or their products (such as meat or milk). Examples of zoonotic diseases include Ebola, SARS, and COVID-19. Environmental factors: Changes to the environment, such as deforestation or climate change, can alter the habitat of animals and insects, leading to new disease vectors or increased contact with humans. Human behavior: Human activities such as travel, trade, and urbanization can facilitate the spread of diseases across large distances and among large populations. Given these factors, it is likely that we will continue to see new infectious diseases emerge in the future. However, with advances in science and technology, as well as improvements in public health infrastructure and preparedness, we may be better equipped to prevent and respond to these outbreaks in the future.

Top 10 essential Verstappen races list please!

I habe been watching since I was a literal infant but I kinda took a break from 2014 until 2018 so I missed a lot of teenage Max lore. Now I treated myself to some f1tv for Christmas and want to rewatch a couple old races!!!

Malaysia 2015 Baby boys first points on his 2nd ever f1 start. Drags that lil toro rosso to q3 and then beats both red bulls. Also very funny to listen to the sky commentary because they dont take him seriously at all but he keeps doing things with that car he shouldnt be able to do so they have to keep talking about him and they're so annoyed about itnklfdjgkfdj

Singapore, 2015 classic max race. car d1es at the start. somehow makes it back on track 1 lap down, waits for his main character moment. gets it on lap 13. breezes past the field. gets told to swap positions. literally yells 'NO' and does not do it. U thought brazil 2022 was shocking, well. Educate yourself

USA, 2015 first of all there was a whole hurricane happening bro like a literal hurricane everything about thsi race is like .. what is going on. Hello. Is that Elton John???? Mind you, its Max's rookie season. Austin with wet conditions is the race track equivalent of a fucking minefield I think like half the grid retired. And still, u will witness that lil boy bring the fight to Merc and Ferrari. He actually fought Lewis and Seb Vettel for a podium. In a toro rosso. yeah

Spain, 2016 anime protagonist race. lil babby makes the jump to the big sister team amid much mockery and controversy, and wins on his debut. I can't say this enough. Max has made a career out of owning up to bitches. Every single time. Mercs take each other out, Danny ric gets inexplicably put on a 3 stopper ((lmfao)), and Max holds off fucking RAIKKONEN on DRS!!!! for like a billion years. Not a wheel out of place. And not even his defining moment of the year. For that, u gotta go with--

Brazil, 2016 He became MOTHER age 19 in Interlagos. Nothing else to say. if ur a verstappie u gotta watch Brazil 2016 like twice a year for ur troubles

China, 2017 just a super underrated race imo. Imma go on a tangent for a bit sorry but one of most insane aspects of Max's move to f1 is that he did so with 1 year of experience in f3. Like f3 had been the strongest engine he'd driven up to that point. f3 cars are fast but they're not f1 fast. So Max was supposed to be like a lil squid in a bowl of sharks. To anybody else it wouldve been extremely intimidating and scary to make that jump and its likely they would've sacrificed speed just because they didn't have that confidence in the car yet. And there'd be nothing wrong with that, thats just normal. Well Max never did normal. Seb put it perfectly and Im pretty sure he's not the first driver to comment on this, but Max goes for moves that nobody in their right mind would even dream of attempting. Shit that takes a special type of instinct, but more than that, a complete lack of fear. And with that comes the other side of the sword, which is the recklessness. Max was a reckless driver. A lot of drivers can be reckless, especially if the car doesn't allow them to just cruise to podiums, but Max was a child. This race is so important in his curriculum because it solidifies that his recklessness is not foolishness, but necessity. Bro passed 9 cars in one lap and held off danny ric with older tires. This after a disaster quali where he finished second to last because of an engine problem. To come back from that and get a podium the way he did, its a character drive. It showed who he was and Max was the future

Mexico, 2017 here. Yeah

Austria, 2018 quali is a must watch for this one. Listening to Max educate his engineers on 'discipline' for even DARING to ask him to pass danny ric prolly makes that move to Renault less confusing. Like u cant fight that. That is not a mf who will ever let u win a world title. But he didnt show it just during quali. This race is important because u can compare it some of his most dominant 2022 victories, in a car that would literally spit out its own tires and explode if Max idk farted or something.

USA, 2018 ok I'm biased but max has never come to the US and not served. Idk why its kind of funny but every time he steps foot in here he stunts and gets super wet and looks amazing. He's also absurdly good in US circuits for no reason. Like Max says, u gotta know how to defend not just attack. Prolly one of the most impressive defensive performances from him here, against none other than sir hammer herself. Lew had fresher tires and a championship winning merc and still couldnt crack lil bro with his renault engine, cap and a dream. Also they literally installed a whole new curb on the track specifically to make drivers stick to track limits and called it the verstopper and that. literal tears in my eyes yk look at this shit

Look at her . anyway

Enjoy thjs humble selection of our fav boy genius/fbi most wanted best hits. Next up
