    For this pandemic, I’m done coddling the maniacs who want us all to die gasping, they get all the insults and scorn I can level at them face to face over their bottomless stupidity. I will estrange family over this if necessary.

    Just going to comment that with this one, we are going to need eye protection as the virus really likes the eyes.

    So for this one, masking isn’t enough.

    If anyone does riskier stuff, stoggles or a face shield, a good mask and protective gloves are probably a good combo for safety. And of course hand washing and avoidance of hand-to-eye contact.

      Oh cripes

      We already had a hard enough time getting people to cover their fucking nose and mouth

      They’re never going to protect their eyes

        You’ll have people who normally wear glasses every waking moment to see, making a point of doing that glass-on-head thing even if means they can’t see a thing, if it means “owning the libs”.

      And if you’ve got crazy dry eyes like me, there’s some really cool (and unfortunately really expensive) glasses for dry eyes called “moisture chamber” glasses. A piece of silicon magnetically attaches to your glasses and goes mostly flush with your face to keep moisture in. Would also stand to reason it keeps out a lot.

      They’re kinda dorky looking, but it is the curse I must bear to not feel like stabbing my eyes out.

      and it was a backyard coop as well, so imagine all the various chicken coop owners living out in the ruff and skeptical of vaccinating or checking up on their birds when they start acting “odd”

    A guy was watching a news video about bird flu as I queued at the post office and I thought fuck I’m at the start of a zombie movie where small details are being given in the background.

      Reminds me of 2020 when I was at a café and every conversation you could hear in passing was something to do with infection rates, what a lockdown was, and Italy’s infection rates

      Well when covid started we were unprepared and panic guided the initial response.

      This time we are prepared with tested and effective methods of ensuring no public panic will occur and people will continue going into work.

      Well, this one’s been around a while and we do have vaccines… They’re not producing them and I doubt the brain worm will allow them to be. COVID was completely new, so it suddenly hit and a lot of people dropped like flies before there was alarm. To me it seemed like nobody was watching for it, this one is being watched closely.

        Doesn’t matter if there’s a vaccine the chuds won’t take it

        This might be the real boomer remover

        It is wild to me though that there aren’t mass vaccination drives like, what is the harm in doing it preemptively?

            An additional safety precaution would be to euthanize whomever says this and means it.
