Americans aren’t getting any lockdowns in the next 4 years regardless of any pandemic.
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
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
It won’t be the pandemic it will be curfews when Trump enacts Marshall Law to combat the “dangerous brown people” in our cities.
Since you apparently were not around just a few short years ago, that’s controlled by the states.
Your ignorance is astounding.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It’s not endemic yet because it continues to mutate, and while vaccinations reduce how many people die, they do not equate to immunity, meaning infection rates continue to be unstable. It won’t hit endemic until the numbers are predictable, and that hasn’t happened yet.
Vaccinations also do not provide much in terms of protection from long covid. I would argue while the acute phase of covid may be working towards becoming endemic, the post-Covid condition is not. 11% of covid infections become long covid (that’s vaccinated and not combined) and 25% of those never go away. On top of this, risk of long covid increases every time someone contracts covid,as does the risk of it being permanent. So with no mitigations in place, we are pushing towards a mass disabling event that none of the health centres, governments, etc. are talking about.
Due to pandemic or martial law?
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)
