Wait first let me buy a gaming laptop so that I can spend my time in lockdown well.
I’m a Pediatric Pulmonary RN. This is NOT a new virus. This is already very well established in the US. From Wikipedia:
“As of 2016, it was the second most common cause (after respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)) of acute respiratory tract illness in otherwise-healthy children under the age of 5 in a large US outpatient clinic.[3]”
We’ve already reached some sort of equilibrium with this virus in our population. China is just having a local epidemic. Which is different from a pandemic. I know everyone’s still a bit traumatized by Covid 19, but this is not equivalent. Please, stop spreading unfounded fear.
I dont even care anymore at this rate just kill me
We got something else on our minds
Being lockdown with GTA 6, Damn.
“new”
Bro what…. this virus has been identified in 2001. Its not a new virus at all. Perhaps there was the first significant number of infections more recently, but we’re all pretending this is something new that doctors have never seen before like covid
Because it’s not fucking new
That’s what happens when people can’t catch a break. Life’s been so bad lately I wouldn’t mind a virus hitting me at this point.
Well the last virus only permanently damaged my lungs making me go into wheezing fits every time I cough while recovering from the common cold. What’s the worst that could happen?
Tbh, I kinda enjoyed the covid years.
Why be afraid when you can embrace the sweet release of death?
Is coffin dance coming back though?
Oh you want me to take another multi-month staycation to play videogames for 16 hours a day?
Say it ain’t so
Not new and didn’t start in China
Not again bro, The pandemic took years of my 20s
I mean yeah, it’s the internet of course we’ll make memes.
And NGL even if the virus spread around it ain’t reaching covid levels, people and companies and governments are significantly more used to dealing with lockdowns.
“The clinical features and severity of HMPV are similar to those of RSV”
So yes, it is a joke.
Aww shit, here we go again
No way we got pandemic s2 before gta6
We didn’t learn anything from covid
Yes, it is a bloody joke.
Of course, it’s China. Surprised it isn’t India instead
The world rn: “I GUESS HISTORY ISN’T HAPPENING HARD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO LEARN FROM IT!”
Essential worker pay and stimmy checks lez goooo
Sometimes I miss early 2020 when things seemed like we wouldnt get out again. Everything slowed down. All the boys were always online. It was a great time for gamers.
