Americans aren't getting any lockdowns in the next 4 years regardless of any pandemic.

[–] douz0a0bouz@midwest.social 138 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh we’re getting lockdowns alright, just not related to anything the WHO will recommend.

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 30 points 1 month ago (8 children)

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.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago

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?

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 weeks ago

That Marshall guy sounds like a dick

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.

[–] Nounka@lemmy.world 25 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I mis those days to. Cleaner air, relax living,...

[–] Hamartia@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago

Yhe lack of traffic in London was amazing

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 12 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 weeks ago

I’m so sorry about your gramma D: That absolutely sucks.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

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.

[–] irish_link@lemmy.world 48 points 1 month ago (5 children)

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.

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 45 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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

[–] irish_link@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Hahahaha….ha………..ha looks around in silent alarm

[–] SuperIce@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

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.

[–] SquishyPandaDev@yiffit.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Could still be for COVID. It's still kicking around

[–] irish_link@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

Due to pandemic or martial law?

[–] Squorlple@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

At least i won't have to patrol the Mojave...

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I read this as marital law

[–] db2@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

The way conservatives "think" it may as well be. American Taliban.

[–] Dirac@lemmy.today 8 points 1 month ago

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)

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 23 points 4 weeks ago

Best anti immigration solution ever found: have a deadly unchecked pandemic

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Is this just a shitpost or is it a reference I don't get?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 month ago

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.
