I've seen commercials for them and had someone go buy some as I was desperate to end the pain and was willing to try anything. I was surprised it actually works, it's hot on the skin and your body reacts by releasing endorphins and such.

I can personally attest to how well this works for a foot injury. I smashed a dolly for a boat hull onto the back of my Achilles tendon, I couldn't even put pressure on the foot or walk after hurting it. I put a capsaicin patch on it overnight and I woke up and had absolutely zero pain, like I was never hurt. Never tested it for back pain or other injuries but it definitely helps and worth a shot.

They'd have to have quarantine camps and say someone's kid was sick, those parents would try to protect them and keep them at home and in the process cause the spread to worsen. Nobody would want to be near anyone sick, not even some doctors, so it would be difficult for the infected to get food and supplies without infecting others.

Nobody could work to earn money. Society would collapse because production of food and other goods would end and desperate people would turn to criminal behavior to survive. Rural areas would be flooded with city dwellers trying to find food and places to hunt/gather etc. leading to more crimes like murder to protect your own food sources, homes, and property.

It's not human transmissible yet. If it did get into a city I see them basically doing some zombie apocalypse shit and killing anyone trying to leave. It would be the end of the world as we know it.

This is much much much worse, it has a 53% mortality rate If this got loose in a city in human transmissible form we'd be in a post apocalyptic world in a year.
