Psychics and astrologists, why the fuck didn't you warn people?

Well for one no ones going to take a psychic seriously we can’t exactly call the CDC and tell them a new disease is coming and we need to shut down our borders and ban travel to China, etc. one guy whose only qualification is being a psychic and will not be able to stop a pandemic. Hell every psychic in the country could have united in a single voice and been ignored.

For a second we can’t really see the future in the way that you think. Sure, we get glimpses but they are hazy. Even if the CDC would have listened to a psychic the most that psychic could tell you was that a pandemic was coming and a few details, not enough to contain it before it happens. The third eye, ESP, whatever you call it, is as much about seeing things unseen and knowing things not known as it is about seeing into the future.
