I never stopped. The pandemic never ended. People just got tired of acknowledging it and left the vulnerable to fend for themselves.
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 🥲
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.
Same. And to the best of my knowledge I'm still a COVID virgin (unless I was asymptomatic).
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.
Can we have a virus that only affect those that don't believe in the virus? 🤔
Unfortunately the last one mainly affected those that were actually considerate towards our fellow humans.
HKU5-CoV-2 was found by a Chinese research team led by virologist Shi Zhengli, known as "Batwoman" for her work on coronaviruses, especially at the Wuhan Institute, which has been at the center of the theory suggesting COVID-19 came from a lab leak—something Shi has denied.
Is this an Onion article?
There's probably thousands of coronavira in different animals just waiting to give us their love.
Especially bats. They have more viruses than an average family computer
or just don't mess with the bats?
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.
Yess!! Let's go already!!!
My body is ready.
We are so fucked.
How long did it take for the Spanish flu to start taking down people in their prime?
Damnit Randy Marsh.
Not again!!
