Some of Donald Trump's most loyal supporters aren't forgetting how upset they are about two key nominees for his upcoming presidential administration.
Trump said on Friday that he had chosen Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a physician and Fox News medical contributor, as his surgeon general. Raw Story re...
If COVID comes back, I’ll actually be okay with that. More lockdowns and WfH for me, more MAGA scum dying in agony on ventilators for them. Vaccines for whoever wants to live.
Trump will ban lockdowns and WFH by executive order. How much that will apply to you will depend on your employer and state. If we have another pandemic with similar transmission rates then it will kill ten times as many people.
Bold of you to think there would be…
I believe they meant another pandemic the likes of COVID. The world would most definitely care. The news have been quite loud about the monkey pox recently for instance.
COVID itself? Yeah people don’t care anymore. If you actively look for the information, you’ll find out about new strains and all, but the general public just… isn’t interested in that anymore? It’s certainly not talked about anymore.
Seeing how quickly people went to completely forget about COVID, as well as looking back at how people behaved during the pandemic, I’m convinced that a slightly more deadly virus would’ve wiped humanity.
Lockdowns? In a second Trump admin?
If anything, government mandated door licking before lockdowns.
Thats a lovely thought but they are a part of the context that shapes our lives. Personal responsibility will not save you; only a large civilizational effort improves your odds against a pandemic.
And let’s not throw the immunocompromised under the bus
…But wearing a full-face respirator with P-100 HEPA cartridges every time you’re out in public will.
No, seriously.
I wore a respirator through the first year of the pandemic. Almost everyone I work with caught it; my immediate boss–who is a duller-than-a-sack-of-hammers anti-vax dumbass–caught it five times, and I didn’t get it until after the first vaccine came out (…and I got vaccinated just as soon as it was cleared for the general public). Once I wasn’t wearing the mask all the time, then I got it. Is that real proof? No. But that kind of thing will sharply reduce your risks.
People who can’t are still gonna die. Innocent people who know this is stupid. A lot of us do not have the freedom or resources to do this.
