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 there won’t be a lockdown we’ll just die
Hahahaha….ha…………ha looks around in silent alarm
Welcome to the party, pal!
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.
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.
Forget mpox, how about the bird flu in our dairy cows and the incoming administration wanting to promote raw milk?
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)
Best anti immigration solution ever found: have a deadly unchecked pandemic
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.

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.
What about the woke mind virus pandemic?
/s
Maybe the brain worm one.
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.
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
What’s the current meta for taking out an mrap or abrams?
I think GOP won’t go along
so which country do you hail from?
Us? U?
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
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.
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’m so sorry about your gramma D: That absolutely sucks.
Thank you. Thankfully, she didn’t pass from covid, it was the culmination of her dementia. She didn’t even know there was a pandemic going on. Covid did affect me visiting her, but I did still get to say goodbye we. I was even one of the 10 people allowed at her funeral. She hadn’t been well for a long time, and it was really unfortunate that she didn’t pass before the pandemic, and more of her relatives would have been able to be there and we could have really celebrated her. I loved her dearly, and she deserved so much more.
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.
I mis those days to. Cleaner air, relax living,…
Yhe lack of traffic in London was amazing
Ouch. That hurt me right in the climate change.
There was another lockdown?
Way back in '25, yeah, it wasn’t as big as the ones we had recently but they say the latest pandemic should start to clear up by next year. Hopefully it won’t be like the predictions they made in 2034.
back in '25
Me and some guys from school
We bought a van and we packed it hard:
Toilet rolls, masks, gasoline.
We thought we could resell it all to tards.
Yeah, March 2025, don’t you remember? Plate armour was back in for a while.
Thank Christ we finally get away from the endless skinny jeans -> baggy jeans cycle.
I could never find chain mail that fit properly
Due to pandemic or martial law?
Yes
Nuclear winter actually
At least i won’t have to patrol the Mojave…
I read this as marital law
The way conservatives “think” it may as well be. American Taliban.
Definitely the latter with RFK Jr. in charge of healthcare.
Nuclear pandemic initiated martial law iirc
Nobody (at least of the responsible people in Germany) was considering the psychological ramifications of lockdown.
So lockdown is not the best solution like the official places are claiming.
Counterpoint: lockdowns were the best times of the last 5 years for people like myself. Everybody handles them differently.
Not again

Is this just a shitpost or is it a reference I don’t get?
The former
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.
