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.
How many lives have to be sacrificed for them to understand?
They understand already
Only those in red states who vote trump
Oh we'll get lockdowns
Anyone who's even looks like the people of the country where the first case is identified will be locked down... in concentration camps.
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
It won't be the pandemic it will be curfews when Trump enacts Marshall Law to combat the "dangerous brown people" in our cities.
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 mis those days to. Cleaner air, relax living,...
Yhe lack of traffic in London was amazing
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.
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.
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, 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.
Don't worry there won't be a lockdown we'll just die
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.
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.
Nuclear pandemic initiated martial law iirc
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)
Best anti immigration solution ever found: have a deadly unchecked pandemic
Is this just a shitpost or is it a reference I don't get?
The former
There was so much BS in the extended QAnon bubble (like all vaccinated people will die in September) that it felt like one of that. Sad how I can't enjoy shitposts for what they are anymore. See what they have taken from us.
Ouch. That hurt me right in the climate change.
Not again
There was another lockdown?
Yeah, March 2025, don't you remember? Plate armour was back in for a while.
Thank Christ we finally get away from the endless skinny jeans -> baggy jeans cycle.
I could never find chain mail that fit properly
Way back in '25, yeah, it wasn't as big as the ones we had recently but they say the latest pandemic should start to clear up by next year. Hopefully it won't be like the predictions they made in 2034.
