Americans aren't getting any lockdowns in the next 4 years regardless of any pandemic.
Oh we’re getting lockdowns alright, just not related to anything the WHO will recommend.
Remember how ok conservatives were about the parts of covid you could be racist about? Yeah they're more or less going to do that but just those parts and probably unrelated to a virus.
And the parts that inconvenienced them.
If NY was locked down with refrigerator trailers full of the dead, that’s fine. If Dallas has the same, fuckit, we’re going to Applebee's.
There’s a serious level of chauvinism to their ideological club.
What about the woke mind virus pandemic?
/s
Maybe the brain worm one.
It won't be the pandemic it will be curfews when Trump enacts Marshall Law to combat the "dangerous brown people" in our cities.
That Marshall guy sounds like a dick
The only nice thing in America is that states can make their own laws; when the bird flu pandemic starts, sane states will institute rules to deal with it, they don't need to wait for the federal government
How many lives have to be sacrificed for them to understand?
They understand already
Only those in red states who vote trump
2025 obligatory alternatives to social distancing:
-Isolate in the office, just never go home (and keep working of course)
-Instead of not going to work, you can get a free brain worm at one of the new brain worm dispensaries
-ingest a lethal dose of Ivermectin
-Storm and plunder one of the official buildings on the list published on the Department of Patriotism's website (must bring own gallows parts)
I could only BE so lucky. Lockdowns were a boon on both my partner’s and my life. I feel horrid for folks who were affected negatively but it was the best two years of our life, doing nothing but experiencing each other alone at home.
I loved lockdown. I had so much stuff in my chest freezer I got to use, we both lost a bunch of necessary weight due to actually following serving sizes. I beat like, three games in my backlog. Didn't have to visit anybody, didn't have to leave the house. I worked from home, and worked enough to pay off my student loans and buy two luxury watches. Plus donate to my alma mater's fund for students stuck on campus. That was after my month long furlough, that is. Where I spent my time baking and cleaning and painting and every week I trimmed my facial hair into worse and worse creations to annoy my wife. We got an inflatable hot tub. I set up a project in the basement. We got a dog. It was one of the best years of my adult life.
Only downside is my grandma died.
I’m so sorry about your gramma D: That absolutely sucks.
Thank you. Thankfully, she didn't pass from covid, it was the culmination of her dementia. She didn't even know there was a pandemic going on. Covid did affect me visiting her, but I did still get to say goodbye we. I was even one of the 10 people allowed at her funeral. She hadn't been well for a long time, and it was really unfortunate that she didn't pass before the pandemic, and more of her relatives would have been able to be there and we could have really celebrated her. I loved her dearly, and she deserved so much more.
I mis those days to. Cleaner air, relax living,...
Yhe lack of traffic in London was amazing
I thought it was great. The streets were clean, the skies were clear, the lines at the supermarket were short, traffic was minor... and despite what people claimed, you could go out for a walk whenever you wanted, at least around here.
I talked to my neighbors much more during lockdown than I do these days.
Due to pandemic or martial law?
Yes
Nuclear winter actually
At least i won't have to patrol the Mojave...
I read this as marital law
The way conservatives "think" it may as well be. American Taliban.
Definitely the latter with RFK Jr. in charge of healthcare.
Unfortunately I actually fear this may happen with the rise of MPOX in the states. If the people in charge of HHS and the Pandemic Response team get gutted or mislead then I fear we will be back to COVID lockdown but for MPOX.
Don't worry there won't be a lockdown we'll just die
Hahahaha….ha………..ha looks around in silent alarm
Don't worry, they would probably make any effective controls illegal at the federal level so no lockdowns, masks or vaccines for the next pandemic in the US.
Could still be for COVID. It's still kicking around
Ohh I know it’s still around but it’s it’s just endemic now and not pandemic. And we have a vaccine even if people don’t take it.
I'm not really worried about a Mpox pandemic as it only spreads by touch as far as we know. My concern is bird flu. We're starting to see more cases of it infecting humans and if it turns into a pandemic is will likely be extremely deadly.
Forget mpox, how about the bird flu in our dairy cows and the incoming administration wanting to promote raw milk?
Ouch. That hurt me right in the climate change.
Best anti immigration solution ever found: have a deadly unchecked pandemic
