    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.

    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.

    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 anyway last time and they will try again.

    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.

      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 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.

    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:

      1. This is clearly fake news by the LAME STREAM fake news media to damage glorious leader the President’s fantastic work to MAGA.

      2. 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).

      3. 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).
