WEARING A MASK IS LIKE WEARING A CONDOM.
Would you risk a permanent disease for the sake of “ehh I dont like how it feels”?
“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.
Forget the STI how is 18 years of child support gonna feel?
It’s more like wearing a condom so you don’t spread your STI.
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.
Lotta people here getting “medical newsworthy” and “general populace newsworthy” confused…
If this one doesn’t take out Trump, I’m eating a Chinese bat myself.
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.
There won’t be any vaccine for this one.
I don’t know if I should upvote, like or downvote this news :D
It’s good to spread important news, but it is a bad news, and a reminder of a failed containment, so how the some system is supposed to work!? Non-serious answers only
Downvote. Reasons:
-
This is clearly fake news by the LAME STREAM fake news media to damage
glorious leaderthe President’s fantastic work to MAGA. -
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).
-
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).

Are americans orks from 40k?
Any evidence that they aren’t?
Orks are pretty clever
great guys. now we are holding the concept of orks in our head. this is how you get orks.
I’m American, and I found myself agreeing with this snark. Most of us are morons. I’m finally allowing myself to recognize this unfortunate reality.
The unfortunate reality is that a huge percentage of people are really stupid
Ashton Kutcher is instrumental in age controls in Europe by the way.
To be perfectly clear, he’s a fucking piece of shit and the enemy. Stop using his fucking picture please. For reference I give you an alternate opinion on Ashton Kutchmer.

Fuck yeah, just in time for WWIII.
Influenza killed far more people than WW1.
Fortunately we have better mass destruction weapons now.
Alright if we get remote jobs again this time agree to absolutely not let this one go.
They listed jobs as remote before forcing us to come last time and they will try again.
gotta have it in the contract.
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.
So, this will be extra, extra bad if we have another covid-like event in the USA. People are already divided, things are rough otherwise, and lockdowns will not work under this administration. It would be total fucking chaos
And again, the population will be affected disproportionately based on population density, which happens to correlate strongly with political leanings.
That’s not how it played out though. Rural areas had higher death rates.
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.
Or, will it be so bad we can’t have an election… hmmmm
Or, will it be so bad we can’t have an erection
Quite possibly both in the same sentence
I wish there was a map by county or something. Some states are just too large that it would be great to be able to see hotspots in particular.
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
Track CDN data.
Toronto has a huge spike this week in wastewater. That’s a region of 6 million.
That doesn’t break it down by variant either tho
I recently got hit with COVID and so did my wife and kids. We all tested positive and have had recent boosters for COVID and flu. Since I’m in a city where one of these states is listed, I kind of wonder if I got this variant.
Time to invest in ivermectin suppliers.
Figured it was going to be about his best friend being a horse - did not see that coming lol
That was a fun little county fair roller coaster ride. Well worth the 2 tickets.
I’ve been boofing it for years now and my doctor says I’m as healthy as a horse
I wonder if boofing edibles weed is a thing
Be the change you want to see in the world
Good. Fuck humanity. We all deserve death. /HalfSARCASM

This needs to be modernized to something like Billie Eilish, the modern version of Avril Lavigne.
I’m too old for either but I think Billie Eilish is a bit more substantial?
You might be right but the default for me is assuming these personas are all carefully crafted by their corporate handlers. We know Avril’s was even though it wasn’t known at the time. It seems like a requirement for someone to reach that level of pop stardom.
Could it be any more obvious?

FTFY
Fuck humanity.

MacGyver is fucked
Yeah, thats why i advocate for physician assisted suicide. No matter what happens, its going to be me and people like me who suffer most. It doesnt really seem like anyone is actually inclined towards helping, so im pretty sure most of the people like me just want a humane way out.
Won’t ever happen in US. Medical industry cashes in big time at end of life.

Well not all at once, you gotta pace yourself. Also, y’know, wrap it up.
Isn’t it just a bad cold at this point?
The experience varies every case between the person, the vaccines, the variant, underlying issues, etc. Two holidays in a row, my family got it. In Jan 2021, our first experience and before any of us had vaccines, whatever we got knocked me out for 7 days but gave my dad a cold for 3 days. Jan 2022, round 2 but after a mix of vaccines, I got a tickle in my throat for a few days but it knocked my dad on his ass for a week.
What was last holiday season’s variant, razor throat? There’s multiple variables. We may be improving our immune responses over time as a whole, but logically, the reason we’re hearing about variants spreading fast is because they’ve varied into something more successful. That includes, typically, something that improves its rate of spread. Don’t rule out spread caused by trying to care for the immensely sick.
Fair question, but I have seen a chest CT of a bad covid case and the lungs looked like a snowstorm.
No. The risk of long-term disability remains substantial.
Damn. You don’t hear about that stuff as much. I wonder how many people are affected by it and just don’t realize it.
You don’t hear that COVID was the #5 killer in 2025.
Literally no. But I also don’t check those stats. That’s crazy.
Around 10% of people get Long Covid after the first infection, chances go up with follow-up infections. Long Covid has a long list of possible symptoms (a friend of a friend had a really bad cough for three months and was always exhausted) with the more severe symptoms being rarer but still fucking scary (like ME/CFS).
If you never got tested for Covid, can you know if you have long covid?
Not sure. Afaik the symptoms can happen after any viral infection, it’s just more frequent with Covid.
You know how it seems like people got dumber?
Nah, that’s just TikTok. Jk
What kind of long term disabilities?
It’s similar to chronic fatigue syndrome, caused by other viruses.
Diana Cowern of the Physics Girl YouTube channel is a great example of the impacts of long COVID - she was bedridden for 3 years, and still cannot function normally today. There are a handful of videos on the channel from throughout her struggle if you want to understand better.
Pulmonary complications. you’d have to walk around with those oxygen tanks if you want to do a brisk walk.
One could say the same for the original for some people. While others died from it. It has reduced its effect overall as variants and spread have built immunity. The danger of 2020 was not having any immunity at all while it spread like wildfire. But the fact that it’s still around and mutating makes it at influenza level at a minimum, the next variant could be nasty, and look at us, joking about how it’s not a big deal now. Until it suddenly is again, and we have politics running our science.
Don’t let the guard down; disease is a bad thing, even if it’s just a cold.
I hear ya. Honestly, if it were just as bad as the original, we’d be fucked. Society learned all the wrong lessons from the first pandemic.
What are we supposed to do though. We can’t stay bottled up forever. And they don’t give us vaccines anymore (only 70+ and risk groups here). I’d take it if I could.
What I learned from Covis is that we definitely won’t be solving or surviving the environmental collapse.
The scary thing is that we’ll have no way of knowing if a variant as bad or worse than the original appears. Or something else presenting a similar danger. Who’s gonna tell us, or even know? RFK and the HHS he leads? I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one.
europe, japan, canada, australia, korea, etc. maybe.
We’ll know from the hospitals filling up or from the WHO warning everybody. It’ll be too late.
We’re fucked regardless. The only mystery is how it happens, as all vectors come closer. It’s almost like the threats to society are sperm, and society is a fertile egg. They’re all fighting to be the first, and it’s a pretty close race at the moment.
A couple of friends of mine got it recently as in a couple months ago and are still fucked up from it so its quite a bit worse than that depending on the person. I on the other hand can get away with a few weeks of recovery time from it.
I love that you’re already tagged with “idiot” lmao
Lol. We got tags here? Calling someone an idiot who just doesn’t know things is a great way to heal society.
Probably depends on the client. I have tags using the Thunder app.
They were tagged from before this, obviously.
either way. Number one rule here is “be civil”.
More like pneumonia.
