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.
Curious to know what you mean here.
What parts of a virus could they find to be racist about?
A lot of people blamed Asians conceptually for Covid, everything from saying it came from eating dogs to the idea of the Chinese government making it on purpose.
well then there's stuff like this that scratch my head link
Think about it for a second, even if it was a man made virus how would you go about proving that without somebody saying "yeah it was me and this is how I did it in immaculate detail", and even if somebody did that there's a decent chance they're lying for the fame.
I read that there would be genetic markers of a manmade virus, and that this virus's RNA matched a natural evolution.
Every action leaves some sort of trace.
Markers for manmade virus sounds like something you can opt out of if you don't want to follow conventions. The best article I saw about whether it was human made or not stated that the virus has several mutations that made it better accommodated to humans, each of those could appear naturally, all of them appearing naturally is also possible but less likely.
Also no, it's not like you could read a fine print 'Made in China' on a virus, unfortunately. Even if there are traces, those traces are much less definitive than what we can get in normal scale world
What about the woke mind virus pandemic?
/s
Maybe the brain worm one.
How many lives have to be sacrificed for them to understand?
About 65M.
Rookie numbers
Oh, you're blaming voters instead of the elites. I wondered what your number was.
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
This. Federalism is such a blessing
Literally the only blessing with America; I'd say the other one is freedom of religion, but they're trying to get rid of that
Only just now?

We've had freedom of religion perhaps, but never freedom from religion. Christian gobbledygook is baked into America's DNA, and deviation from that has always resulted in a paddling.
Take Trump for example. A dyed in the wool contrarian. The walking talking embodiment of cutting off ones nose to spite their face. Refuses to acknowledge any authority but his own, often at the hazard of himself and others. And even he feigns to bend the knee to religion, and play act at being a Christian. That's how truly compulsory it is.

Gobbledyremoved can't say removed even whenit is part of another word?
Huh?
Some instances has censoring installed, so they really see it that way, and their messages are [REDACTED], as far, as I know.
So since the word contains part that 'is a derogatory term for people of East and Southeast Asian descent', it gets censored
Ah I thought everyone saw "removed"
Yeah, no:

Oh no, they have been trying for a very long time.
It won't be the pandemic it will be curfews when Trump enacts Marshall Law to combat the "dangerous brown people" in our cities.
That Marshall guy sounds like a dick
I think GOP won't go along
so which country do you hail from?
Us? U?
What's the current meta for taking out an mrap or abrams?
Since you apparently were not around just a few short years ago, that's controlled by the states.
Your ignorance is astounding.
Oh wow, burn!
Thanks
Yeah but if the president himself is telling the people to not worry about it, what hope do the states have in enforcing it.
See: Boris Johnson vs The Lockdowns, and what effect that had on the public.
