Good thing that the POTUS isn't an incompetent sack of shit then, right? He'll get things under control and keep them from getting out of hand, leading to tens-of-thousands of deaths, and overwhelming the U.S. healthcare system, right? Right? /s
-
Clearly this why Trump did the tarrifs. To stop the flow of COVID infected goods from China into the US. A true 4D chess master at work. /s
-
If not POTUS, then at least person in charge of healthcare is a real professional and reliable.

Don’t forget it’s never too late to start masking.
-
ICE agents have shown they are okay masking so surely MAGA will be ok to follow their lead and mask now
-
-
Time to start smuggling vaccine
-
What a death trap.
-
Europe will be fine. Asia will be fine. Africa will be fine. Australia will probably be fine.
But America?
-
"America will be more than...."fine."
"We will be Great. Yes we will be more than fine because we...are the greatest country the world has ever known, and our god-fearing liberty loving citizens won't be stopped by a communist virus to stop our way of life. The wheels of America will march on and we will not cower to the godless other side of the world who hides with "lockdowns" and "vaccines." Oh yes we are too great of a people to be hindered by such a preposterous, radicals and anti-american ideal....so much that it will never happen he--
CDC: uh sir you may want to check out what we hav--
-- NEVER HAPPEN HERE."
by the way, can you tell I just played Helldivers 2?

I literally cannot go through another pandemic in my lifetime. Just let nature run its course at that point.
-
I miss the quiet. And people not being allowed to shake hands and breath in my neck.

And people not being allowed to shake hands and breath in my neck.
Not sure I've ever breathed on someone's neck when shaking their hand. I can't believe I've been failing proper etiquette this whole time, how embarrassing... I'll have to start doing this at work from now on before meetings.

Guys RTFA
It's just a mild variant.
Read before you type, K?
-
Well is there any information about how aggressive the new variant is?
-
I don't understand what could be wrong with this. How can a virus be eradicated? It just mutates and continues to kill, just like the flu virus.
-
Look up Polio
-
Technically only smallpox has been completely eradicated in humans. Polio is just almost eradicated.
Which, given how awful polio is as a disease, is still a huge goddamn win.
So much disinformation centers around "how can we ever completely stop it!?!?"
But we don't talk about fire this way. Fire is inevitable - literally, fundamentally, inevitable. As long as humans live on Earth, or as long as humans require oxygen to live and energy to thrive, we will have fires, whether we intentionally make them or not.
That doesn't mean we stop trying to fight fires.
