i had it last september, the razor blade throat pain was very intense, also because it prevented me from swallowing too and anything entering the eosphagus would cause me to immediately cough up thick phelgm. i couldnt eat or drink for a few days.

Wait, I thought they wanted to declare marshal law to avoid the election... I bet we start hearing kore about how we can't have an election because of covid...

No worry under trump there will be no covid.

And again, the population will be affected disproportionately based on population density, which happens to correlate strongly with political leanings.

Just wear a mask. I bought 400 of them a while ago on Amazon for $40. One way masking sucks, but is highly effective.

If Trump's dumb ass hadn't understocked the PPE last time, we could've just all worn masks and then generally went about our business otherwise.

with rfk jr, trashing all vaccine initiatives, it will be a combo of OLD favorites, measles, tdap, mmr, CHICKENPOX. we might see TB again since people are likely to not comply with antibiotic regime, TB being a very persistent bacteria, its naturally resistance to most antibiotics due to its waxy coating the bacteria has, and it develops immmunity to drugs in general.

We don't have that kind of granularity anymore, both because RFK Jr and DOGE have significantly cut public health funding and because there are so many variants out there now and so little difference between them in terms of presenting symptoms

Well, you don't get one.

Because RFK Jr is in charge, after DOGE gutted basically all the staff in charge of doing things lile that, as well as exposing basically all internal government webservices for foreign actors and random hackers to nose their ways in.

We could try and crowd source one, but at this point, doing so might mean the government decides those involved are domestic terrorists.

Welcome to fascism, with Ya'll Qaeda characteristics.

Reminder that during the less insane Trump Term 1, Trump spent the crucial initial months publically telling everyone it was China's fault, stymying coordination and response planning / early stage plan activation and eventually settled out selling Federally controlled supplies to the highest State/Hospital bidder.

Oh and don't forget to consider injecting yourself with bleach.

They still exist, but the number of samples is orders of magnitude away from what we've been used to in the early years of the pandemic.

Downvote. Reasons:

1. This is clearly fake news by the LAME STREAM fake news media to damage glorious leader the President's fantastic work to MAGA.

2. By allowing other users to see this news they start holding the concept of a new variant that is spreading fast in their head and therefore they manifest it. If enough people manifest it, it becomes true (even though it is clearly not, see above).

3. Even though it is not real, COVID is also just a Chinese hoax that is just a flu so any reporting on it is spreading Chinese propaganda and therefore TREASON (and we downvote treason).

They’ve told us we can’t work from home. So that’s what I’m going to say. If they try to fire me I’ll use their own words against them.

We have stronger employment law where I live.

gotta have it in the contract.

He's saving the rest of the world by unwittingly discouraging travel to and from the US.

Well, like last time, Trump will get treated by the latest medicines at Walter Reed and a vaccine while the rest of the country can get fucked.

I’m eating a Chinese bat myself.

I am sniffing unpasteurized lines of pangolin right now so two steps ahead of you.

That doesn't sound like a succulent Chinese meal

trumps a GERMAphobe, thats why he got the it in the first place he most terrified of germs, alcohol, he and his father drove one of thier brothers to suicide through alcohol.

“ehh I dont like how it feels”

Considering how well preventable STI's still get around, I'd say that sentiment is a little too common. That or a lot of people are hot garbage at risk assessment.

"I can only breathe with a mask on my face when im hiding my identity to beat up on people of color!!! Any other time though, fuck off!!!"

I mean I would say its a heck of a lot easier. Having a condom all day would be kinda hard to deal with but wearing a mask is essentially the same as wearing a hat.

anti-vaxxers, conservatives likely dont wear condoms too, hence they have higher pregnancy and STDS.

It's more like wearing a condom so you don't spread your STI.

Forget the STI how is 18 years of child support gonna feel?

It’s actually only a good analogy if you have an STI you’re preventing giving to others.

Masks keep YOU from spreading what you have unless it’s KN-95 or better iirc.

Hell yeah

I've been boofing it for years now and my doctor says I'm as healthy as a horse

Influenza killed far more people than WW1.
