Now the stocks are going to go down and even more layoffs. It’s going to get really cool and a lot of centrists are going to have a headache as they can’t figure out why the system isn’t working
Oh for sure this would be much more catastrophic without them, but I def saw some projected graphs of deaths that look uhhhhh much flatter than what we're seeing in reality here
"Of course, the adult in the room now didn't you know, uncle Joe going to enact his plan to shut down this virus". Now, on storm front especially the corony sub, I starting to see peoples ask "What do you want the government do". Like ffs, this admin somehow normalize this shite.
With fake news cnn talking more about China corona plan than the horror at home.
I dunno, I definitely was hopeful. Unfortunately this is the first airborne pandemic in the post-war, vaccine era. We’ve never had to battle something that acts and evolves like the common cold but can kill people too. The closest thing is measles, which was a child’s disease that you never got again. You can get a flu shot every year, but if you get sick in the winter no one confirms you have that season’s influenza by PCR.
It really goes to show you that vaccination is only a tool not a solution, and that lost distinction is a failure of science communication. Your vaccine is insurance for when your mask and distancing fails. You test regardless to make sure you don’t spread it, and stay away from people if you feel sick. That said, all those things should be free or super easy to do, which Democrats have made the opposite.
So maybe it’s not your mom and pop lib cope, but the policymaker pandering that trickles down to them?
They trust the SCIENCE too much. You have to remember that people over 50 or so grew up in an era where medicine was literally a miracle. Antibiotics had wiped out previously crippling diseases which made the sexual revolution possible, and vaccination and hygiene campaigns made debilitating diseases "a thing of the past". Smallpox scars, dying of TB or syphillis at 30, your siblings dying of appendicitis or having lifelong issues from scarlet fever or polio - that was grandma's generation's problem, never gonna happen to me. "Curing cancer" was seen like going to the moon - a grand goal that was definitely around the corner from some egghead.
The idea that we can't just science our way out of an apocalypse with a shot or a pill is almost incomprehensible to a lot of older people, and the steps that we actually need to take to contain the pandemic feel like a step back into the dark ages.

Exactly the same with climate change. "Fuck consuming less, geo-engineering will save us for sure".
Facts, the italian cuarentena comes from the black plague and the isolation for 40 days. We can’t even isolate for 15 days without Americans going bonkers.
Unsurprising, but still a big oof that the conjecture that vaccines would keep the death rates low with omicron turned out to be :LIB::cope:
Shits gonna get real rough real fast
Shit been rough for months. We’ve had 1mil deaths, probably more given how undercounted covid has been at the state level by certain states
:wojak-nooo:
NOoooooo but CHina is underreporting!!!!!

Damn, that is cool. Comments are the usual cancer though of course.
Self identified neoliberal is wild.
It's Russian Aggression and China not playing fair!
Oh for sure, still guessing it's gonna escalate though :stonks-up:
The vaccines are keeping the death rate down, it's just that the complete lack of any public health measures are pushing them up more lmao

Yeah lol there was definitely cope indeed

Also doesn't help that like a ton of people won't take the vaccines.
