And covid was pretty much why he lost in 2020 ...
If we won't have another pandemic in next 4 years, we will be really lucky.
Oh, sure, we've heard about long COVID, but what about...
Second covid?
Bird flue.. something something egg prices amirite?
The flu is particularly bad this year, though definitely not pandemic level. It is knocking down and hospitalizing the elderly and those with crappy lungs.
Also, it’s keeping our egg prices higher than meat right now. I can buy a family tray of deboned/skinned chicken breast for $10. 18 eggs: $12. Which is crazy. If COVID pricing is any indicator of things to come, egg prices will stay higher than meat.
Flu is a fickle, ever changing, ever mutating virus. So, it’s possible. It’s also why King picked flu for his captain trips. The mutation thing made his story plausible.
Edit: whoopsies. The way my comments were formatted I erroneously thought you were talking about bird flu, not the regular flu. Dumb mistake on my end
Okayyyy just going to stop you there. Bird flu is NOT knocking down and hospitalizing the elderly and those with crappy lungs. There are only 67 confirmed cases, almost all of them are from people working directly with the animals, almost all of them are very mild, and there's no evidence of human-human transmission.
I'm all for watching this and being cautious, but I'm also obligated to call out (even well intentioned) misinformation when I see it.
the flu flu, not the bird flu
My mistake. I think seeing a comment about bird flu right above it, as well as the part about egg prices, made me think they were talking about bird flu. I edited my comment
I got influenza a and have never had it so bad. While it was really only one day of the worst symptoms and I got Tamiflu to knock it down, itjust hit the threee week mark and the cough is not going away
the next lockdown will never end
We definitely will!
We can't have cases if we don't count or report them, duh.
Tap for /s
/sI hate that this is needed.
/s is not needed. It's obvious you were sarcastic
You just look stupid with the tap for s thing.
There are people who literally think ~~lkke~~ like that, so yes it was needed.
What wasnt needed was your comment.
Have a good day
Those people should learn how to read.
There aren't any /s in the millinia of written works, yet suddenly some people need it. Those people are illiterate.
Have a good day, SIR
Wait.... You're comparing books to internet sleuths?? Hahahahahaha
Thanks for the edit, bud. Have a wonderful day.

Bird flu looking real ready to snack on humans right now
