Cant wait to learn about the next pandemic (on top of the current ongoing one) through healthcare workers anecdotally reporting a huge uptick in respiratory cases, and everyone else noticing a “really bad flu going around.”

cool i hope trump’s bitch ass catches bird flu from mcnuggets. 50% mortality rate 🥰

Fellas, is it woke to think about health?

So this is only until Feb 1 atm and makes exceptions for communications “critical for health.” Which seems to mean things requiring immediate action - such as the FDA releasing info about an allergic reaction in a certain medication today. Regular reports are paused though.

Of course this was all explained in a later memo, while in the original guidance the pause was of an indeterminate length. Definitely has had a chilling effect, a lot of public health people are up in arms about this.

Y’all better be masking.

America can’t be blamed for the next pandemic if we turn off all surveillance and early warning, gag scientists, stop any reporting on it, stop looking for it, etc. Then when it does break out into a pandemic there won’t be any solid proof of where it came from and we can blame China (or maybe Mexico since this is Trump) for that as well.

lmao sure, fuck it, why not

How is the US going to go to war with China when they’re killing off their own citizens

cool we’re going back to the Spanish flu style of virus prevention

Nothing to see here gif from naked gun

So we’re on, what, Day 2 of Pathologic?
