I love that for us.
People can and do travel in and out of Russia so be careful what you wish for; anything spreading widely and easily isn't going to stay in one place for long in our global society.
I do not, in fact, unironically love that for us, I just keep forgetting to mark my sarcasm.
The sarcasm was evident don't worry
I heard the sarcasm cristal clear when I read it the first time
Don’t you dare start marking your sarcasm. It ruins it.
You keep doing you.
Nah, as someone who suspects strongly she's on the spectrum I try to remember that there are people who simply can't recognise sarcasm unless there's clear signage. Tone indicators are important.
Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.
I thought you meant

Wow, sure hope it doesn't spread to the Kremlin. Wouldn't want Putin to drown in his own blood, no sir.
Tuber-something? So mysterious we dare not recall its name!!!
Tuberculosis is a bacterium, not a virus. Unless there's a joke I'm missing haha
All kinds of sources are reporting it as true and Russia is denying it.
Then this showed up in my search ...
First reports of an unknown virus that causes infected individuals to cough up blood and develop high fever, appeared on March 29. Patients initially experienced body aches and weakness, while their COVID-19 and flu tests showed negative results.
One of the infected individuals, a young woman, did not respond to antibiotics for a week. Throughout that time, she suffered from persistent coughing fits. By the fifth day, traces of blood started appearing when she coughed. Doctors diagnosed the woman with an acute upper respiratory tract infection.
Russian Academy of Sciences academician Vitaly Zverev noted that it was difficult to determine exactly which virus was causing such symptoms. He also recommended avoiding large gatherings and spending time outdoors for prevention.
Now they believe it's an ongoing issue that began in late 2024 ...
Mycoplasma infection is caused by mycoplasma bacteria, which attack human tissues and internal organs and can persist in the body for a long time without symptoms. The infection can trigger severe diseases and even lead to death. Patients with mycoplasma infection report high fever, nasal congestion, coughing, and difficulty breathing.
The disease has two key characteristics: first, it requires prolonged treatment, and second, it may be resistant to treatment, as some antibiotics are ineffective against it. Additionally, infected patients' lungs may appear white on X-ray images. This so-called "white lung syndrome" occurs due to pneumonia when air sacs fill with fluid.
