Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

He's saving the rest of the world by unwittingly discouraging travel to and from the US.
WEARING A MASK IS LIKE WEARING A CONDOM.
Would you risk a permanent disease for the sake of "ehh I dont like how it feels"?
"I can only breathe with a mask on my face when im hiding my identity to beat up on people of color!!! Any other time though, fuck off!!!"
“ehh I dont like how it feels”
Considering how well preventable STI's still get around, I'd say that sentiment is a little too common. That or a lot of people are hot garbage at risk assessment.
People are, in fact, hot garbage at risk assessment. See, for example, how many people refused to mask/vax during the height of the pandemic, and the concurrent death rates...
I think it's people believing it won't happen to them. There is risk, but I will be an exception.
I happen to know when my (now ex-) wife cheated on me, she raw dogged him... Never would have expected that from her, she's such a germophobe otherwise...
I mean I would say its a heck of a lot easier. Having a condom all day would be kinda hard to deal with but wearing a mask is essentially the same as wearing a hat.
Hell yeah

It's in my state but I'm not worried bc between Jesus and essential oils, all will be well. /s
If this one doesn't take out Trump, I'm eating a Chinese bat myself.
Well, like last time, Trump will get treated by the latest medicines at Walter Reed and a vaccine while the rest of the country can get fucked.
That doesn't sound like a succulent Chinese meal
I’m eating a Chinese bat myself.
I am sniffing unpasteurized lines of pangolin right now so two steps ahead of you.
thoughts and prayers /s
Lotta people here getting "medical newsworthy" and "general populace newsworthy" confused...
There won't be any vaccine for this one.
I don't know if I should upvote, like or downvote this news :D
It's good to spread important news, but it is a bad news, and a reminder of a failed containment, so how the some system is supposed to work!? Non-serious answers only
Downvote. Reasons:
-
This is clearly fake news by the LAME STREAM fake news media to damage ~~glorious leader~~ the President's fantastic work to MAGA.
-
By allowing other users to see this news they start holding the concept of a new variant that is spreading fast in their head and therefore they manifest it. If enough people manifest it, it becomes true (even though it is clearly not, see above).
-
Even though it is not real, COVID is also just a Chinese hoax that is just a flu so any reporting on it is spreading Chinese propaganda and therefore TREASON (and we downvote treason).

Are americans orks from 40k?
Naw Americans are the Imperium of Man. ie: hates anyone that is different, destroys everything it can't control, highly xenophobic (racist), and filled with more propaganda than Nazi Germany. and as of the past decade... most worship their emperor (Trump) as God.
Now Indians (India not Native Americans) and any country third world country... they are Space Orks. they can cobble together random trash and seemingly broken bits of technology to make cheap but useful stuff for their communities. while Americans (IoM) toss out old and broken tech... they take that broken/old tech and make computers and solar powered devices that look like they shouldn't work but somehow magically do.

Fuck yeah, just in time for WWIII.
Influenza killed far more people than WW1.
Fortunately we have better mass destruction weapons now.
Alright if we get remote jobs again this time agree to absolutely not let this one go.
They listed jobs as remote before forcing us to come anyway last time and they will try again.
gotta have it in the contract.
They’ve told us we can’t work from home. So that’s what I’m going to say. If they try to fire me I’ll use their own words against them.
We have stronger employment law where I live.
So, this will be extra, extra bad if we have another covid-like event in the USA. People are already divided, things are rough otherwise, and lockdowns will not work under this administration. It would be total fucking chaos
And again, the population will be affected disproportionately based on population density, which happens to correlate strongly with political leanings.
