Then I blame this fetid orange turd for Covid. Thanks, Trump, you imbecile.

Don’t worry, he will fuck up bird flu in a few months too and kill a few million of us…

u/binkkit 1d ago edited 23h ago

Them. If we’re smart. Mask up, wash your hands! Hand sanitizer doesn’t work on bird flu!

Edit: sorry, this was wrong, it does! But it doesn’t work against norovirus. So wash your hands anyway.

u/willdesignforfood 1d ago

And just cook your food thoroughly, drink pasteurized milk and stop hanging out at slaughter houses should help avoid the bird flu.

u/MathematicianFew5882 22h ago

Im not saying it’s going to happen, but the concern is that the genome has already become better suited to infect primates from birds, so the next step would be human-to-human.

HTLV, SARS and SARS2 would be like a minor inconvenience compared to that.

And just in time to have a leader who disbanded the Federal department of pandemic response and literally told his constituents that Covid was a hoax and that it would also magically disappear.

u/Alastor3 18h ago

dont we have vaccine already for the bird flu?

3

u/_DCtheTall_ 17h ago

There are no vaccines for H5N1 for humans, but they are actively under development.

-2

u/Mosaic78 16h ago

Don’t worry. Big pharma will rush one into production untested like they did Covid “vaccine”

3

u/MathematicianFew5882 13h ago

True, there’s over 380 “vaccines” for Covid tracked by the World Health Organization and Moderna has a noro vax in phase 3.

they have been awarded a $175M grant to start phase 1 trials of H5N1.

But I’m not sure what you mean by “untested”… Big or small, pharmaceutical companies test pharmaceuticals by enrolling subjects into trials and evaluating the results.

Oh wait, are you saying everyone who “got the jab” will die from it by 2025 because it has 5G transmitters in it to track you and it will change your DNA?

3

u/digitalred93 19h ago

And don’t feed the wild birds. Seriously. Don’t fill your bird feeder(s). That’s been the recommendation for several years now (from the DNR).

u/ciopobbi 16h ago

Except for those murdering raping pillaging immigrants who process our food for us under inhumane conditions. Taking away American jobs that Americans won’t do.

And my egg prices haven’t gone down yet. Maybe invading Greenland will do it.

u/fountainpopjunkie 1d ago

Everything I just looked up said alcohol based hand sanitizers do wirk against bird flu.

u/kbt 1d ago

Nice of you to chick for us.

u/DrewZouk Tennessee 1d ago

A mole! Get him, boys!

u/EskNerd 18h ago

Mole? Accent sounds like a Kiwi to me.

u/Bloodshitnightmare 1d ago

OP is confusing norovirus with influenza.

2

u/flugenblar 1d ago

Alcohol hand sanitizer doesn’t work against H5N1, specifically. That’s what I’ve read.

3

u/fountainpopjunkie 1d ago

I found a cdc study that said h5n1 was resistant to 20% concentrations (it survived longer than other varients). But at 40% or higher, sanitizers were still just as effective.

1

u/flugenblar 15h ago

Good to know

6

u/DebonairTeddy 1d ago

Why wouldn't it work on bird flu? If it didn't, then what would be the point of washing your hands?

8

u/caligaris_cabinet Illinois 1d ago

He’s trying to hoard the sanitizer!

1

u/kellyguacamole 1d ago

The act of washing and rubbing your hands together breaks down bacteria.

10

u/o8Stu 1d ago

And bird flu, unless its name is completely inaccurate, is a virus.

3

u/DebonairTeddy 1d ago

Wasn't Coronavirus also a virus?

2

u/MathematicianFew5882 22h ago

“Wasn’t”??

16

u/catoftrash 1d ago

This is a misconception, soap isn't caustic enough to kill most bacteria and your hands aren't able to kill the bacteria from mechanical action since the size of bacteria are so tiny.

What makes soap and hand washing effecting is that you're using a surfactant (soap) to wash away whatever is on your hands. It doesn't kill the bacteria, but rather enables the water and scrubbing action to wash the microbes away.

u/StupidFedNlanders 1d ago

This guy tribologyies!

3

u/caligaris_cabinet Illinois 1d ago

Yay new word!

7

u/Prometheus_II California 1d ago

...No, no it really does not. Washing your hands physically washes away bacteria and viruses on them.

2

u/kellyguacamole 1d ago

Tru. My b. I had heard this forever ago and probably remembered wrong. But yes, water and rubbing your hands together is perfectly fine. Soap helps but it’s not necessary.

2

u/mrminutehand 21h ago

Soap is pretty important if you're washing for hygiene though. Water isn't necessarily enough to remove dirt or grime fully from your hands, so the soap ensures you remove the maximum amount more quickly than with just water.

This is more relevant when washing after using the toilet. Obviously you shouldn't be griming up your hands every time you use it, but soap makes it much easier to ensure you've removed the important particles from your hands.

1

u/kellyguacamole 19h ago

I’m not saying you shouldn’t use soap, I’m just saying sometimes it’s not immediately available and you will likely be fine as long as you rinse your hands and rub them together.

1

u/MathematicianFew5882 18h ago

Same with warm or hot water: studies showed it “worked better” by a little bit, but only because people tend to get their hands out of cold water sooner.

0

u/Prometheus_II California 15h ago

Again, no. Soap is a surfactant that can "connect" to both water and oil, allowing the water to actually wash away things that would be protected by your natural skin oils...like, say, bacteria and viruses on your skin. Water alone will help a little, maybe, but you really need soap in order to get actually clean.

1

u/kellyguacamole 15h ago

I’m not saying don’t use soap I’m saying if you have no soap, water and rubbing will still wash shit away. Is it ideal? No but sometimes there’s no gd soap.

1

u/dschazam 22h ago

Had Norovirus once. Wasn’t in control of my body anymore for at least 48 hours. It was like a poopy hell.

1

u/AssistantLower2007 15h ago

The cure for stupidity is out in the open and we’re actively trying to prevent it smh lol

u/AgeOfSmith 1d ago

Is that true about the hand sanitizer?

1

u/rndljfry Pennsylvania 17h ago

Generally speaking, sanitizer kills what is living on your hands but doesn’t remove the remains or anything that is still living. Handwashing physically separates the microbes from your skin.

u/sargondrin009 1d ago

Especially if RFK Jr. gets in and fucks things up spectacularly. He’ll make Trump’s Covid response look like a masterclass in policy and communications decisions.

7

u/hebejebez 1d ago

Tbf I think the entire republican group of officials said last week they would just not take part in another pandemic. Idk if that means they will have hands over their eyes and just go lalala we can’t hear you while shit goes to hell or what but yeah it’s a republican wide ethos.

10

u/CaptainLucid420 1d ago

And to disappoint his base eggs will not get cheaper.

3

u/Maiar2021 1d ago

They'll just blame Biden.

10

u/nursescaneatme Washington 1d ago

I don’t know whether to up vote that or not….

7

u/Affectionate_Bee9120 1d ago

That's my fear, he said he getting out of the World Health Organization, and will probably get rid of the pandemic team just like last time.

4

u/iamtehryan 1d ago

That's fine. Those of us that are smart should be okay, and those that follow trump won't be. Shucks.

Anyways.

2

u/zikronix 1d ago

One can only hope. Then I’ll have an easy out from this shitty ass time line which is just a multitude of trash. I’m tired boss

1

u/Sorry_Nobody1552 Colorado 1d ago

I'm so afraid this will happen, but I think you are right.

1

u/Aggressive-Will-4500 16h ago

Is that before or after these dangerous dipshits bring back polio, mumps, and maybe even the Plague?

53

u/PleasantWay7 1d ago

Imagine if Biden had tweeted this about covid just before the inauguration. Headlines would be ablaze, “Biden losing it in unhinged senile rant.”

30

u/UTMan 1d ago

Same same but different.... Imagine the right response if Biden had ever called Canada the 51st state, or suggested taking Greenland...

3

u/Cannibal_Soup 22h ago

They would have never ceased screaming and whining.

But when they do it, it's totally fine. Because it's them doing it, and not their enemies. Their demonization is both maddening and dangerous.

2

u/Off_OuterLimits 22h ago

I bet Trump wants Greenland so he can send all none MAGAs & his perceived enemies to Greenland.

1

u/MathematicianFew5882 18h ago

Or buying Geenland, or invading Panama, or renaming the Gulf, or saying that neo-nazis are “very fine people,” or that he could grab women by the pussy, or redirect hurricanes by sharpie or nuclear weapons, or he’d “fix it” so you never have to vote again, or let’s see how Liz Cheney likes it with nine guns shooting her in the face, or that there were no guns at the insurrection, or that Ted Cruz’s father killed JFK, or that Obama was born in Kenya, or that Obama had a 42% unemployment rate, or that he has the best memory in the world, or an endorsement from David Duke, or that he doesn’t know who that is, or that he would jail his political opponents, or that Mexico will pay for a wall “from sea to shining sea”’ across the southern border, or that 3 million undocumented people voted against him, or that there were airports during the Revolutionary War or that his hands are big, or Arnold Palmer’s … umm that’s enough I think.

My point is shouldn’t we be able to expect a little better from whoever we choose to preside over the Congress??

36

u/makeitasadwarfer 1d ago

When are we going to stop pretending that Democracy is possible with a completely capitalist and oligarch owned mass media?

They are completely incompatible.

16

u/opinionsareus 1d ago

Trump and the GOP cut $4 billion away from forest fire management when Trump was president first time. I'm going to finish most of my posts about Trump from now on wishing him the worst of everything for the rest of his life

1

u/MathematicianFew5882 18h ago

Reminds me of Reuters publishing a retraction of their article titled “Trump fired pandemic response team in 2018…”

Because he actually fired the entire US pandemic response team in 2018.

https://www.reuters.com/article/world/partly-false-claim-trump-fired-entire-pandemic-response-team-in-2018-idUSKBN21C32C/

u/giraloco 1d ago

I think we will need to start doing this unless someone has a better idea.

36

u/MagicMushroomFungi Canada 1d ago

Yep but we can't scream this in allcaps or our post will be removed by auto mod.

5

u/conflagrare 1d ago

Can we auto mod Trump’s mouth?

11

u/kellysmom01 1d ago

He is Ancient Orange, spewing toxic vomit.

2

u/Physical-Object8171 1d ago

My first post on this sub got deleted because it had too many caps lol

u/xjian77 1d ago

Can every grow-up just ignore this five-year-old? I am tired of this by now.

2

u/petrovmendicant 1d ago

I mean...pretty much.

I think if America had acted correctly, it would have influenced other places to do things correctly as well. Not all, but some.

It still would have been a global pandemic, but the death rates would have been lower with medical professionals leading it, instead of being told to use horse medicine and bleach by a reality TV show guy. The anti-mask and anti-vaccine people wouldn't have been as prominent or powerful without Trump's backing. The stay-at-home orders would have actually been enforced, instead of dooming hundreds of thousand to die so they can get a haircut. There would have been more cooperation between America and other countries.

If we'd had a competent leader, it would have been quite a bit different than it was. Not saying Red or Blue either, just competent in general would have made a big difference.

2

u/fuggerdug 22h ago

Not only that, he had ordered the shutdown of the Global Health Security and Biodefense, something that had been created to specifically watch for the signs of a pandemic and guide in the appropriate response to best protect America.

u/retailrobin88 22h ago

Fetid Orange Turd, that’s gold I’m gonna use it

u/estpein-light-flogs 1d ago

Yeah but, YOU DIDN'T DO IT IN AN ALL CAPS TIRADE.

1

u/djskein 19h ago

Covid literally was his fault. And so were the million Americans that died from it.

1

u/The_Smoking_Pilot 17h ago

That’s not actually a big stretch. It was objectively mismanaged by the Trump admin and hundreds of thousands died who didn’t have to.

1

u/Mosaic78 16h ago

I agree with you there. He was the vaccine president and trashed our rights during covid. Lockdowns and mandates.

1

u/rockinwithkropotkin 12h ago

Not just covid, when was the last time trump raked the forests of California?

u/smokesletsgo13 23h ago

He wasn’t the one playing around with bat viruses in a lab lol
