RFK will start importing them.

He'll bite the head off like Ozzy Osbourne. Most metal politician. I hate life.

At this point, I welcome it.

Excuse to stay indoors and lose my sleep wake cycle? Sure. Last one was spent on PoE. Now 2 is out.. Timely..

i'm always behind on trends. haven't had the last one yet.

Can we have a virus that only affect those that don't believe in the virus? πŸ€”

Unfortunately the last one mainly affected those that were actually considerate towards our fellow humans.

preventable fatalities!

RFK Jr announced a new program to give underprivileged kids pet bats. Due to the demand, many are expected to come from China, but will not be affected by tariffs.

Don't worry, everything will work out as planned.

It’s never a bad time to start masking in public.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

I never stopped. The pandemic never ended. People just got tired of acknowledging it and left the vulnerable to fend for themselves.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Same. And to the best of my knowledge I'm still a COVID virgin (unless I was asymptomatic).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago

I worked retail for a good portion of it and somehow never got it. I did get swung at by a customer who thought I was hiding toilet paper in the back though.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 18 hours ago

I stopped masking in public very briefly when they were saying it was okay after getting double vaxxed. Waited the proper amount of time for immunity to kick in and then some, and I immediately got COVID πŸ₯²

Fool me once, etc. I’m never doing that shit again, and it’s a little disturbing to me how little people care about others’ health or their own. You’d think naked self interest would get people masking if empathy doesn’t, but apparently not.

There's probably thousands of coronavira in different animals just waiting to give us their love.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

Especially bats. They have more viruses than an average family computer

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago

or just don't mess with the bats?

I guess the correct plural is virii or viruses?

(Phone still underlines that first one hmm)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

Not again!!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago

We are so fucked.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours ago

Now the real question is, if you fart in those suits do you have time to enjoy it or does it get expelled directly?

How long did it take for the Spanish flu to start taking down people in their prime?
