Quaoar, Orcus, Sedna, Mani, Achlys, Aya, Chiminigugua, Varda, Ixion, Goibniu, Ritona, Uno, Varuna? 2005QY182? 2002XW93? The other 200-10000 that is very likely to lurk out there?

The flu kills 300-500k every year, and did not make the list, while absolute bullshit like Zika and Monkey pox did.

The only actually serious one on that list is Covid, and the title and the nyt are lying, they declared an international emergency, not a global one, there is no chance this spreads outside of sub-saharan Africa.
