Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
I recently got hit with COVID and so did my wife and kids. We all tested positive and have had recent boosters for COVID and flu. Since I'm in a city where one of these states is listed, I kind of wonder if I got this variant.
So, this will be extra, extra bad if we have another covid-like event in the USA. People are already divided, things are rough otherwise, and lockdowns will not work under this administration. It would be total fucking chaos
Wait, I thought they wanted to declare marshal law to avoid the election... I bet we start hearing kore about how we can't have an election because of covid...
No worry under trump there will be no covid.
Or, will it be so bad we can't have an election... hmmmm
Quite possibly both in the same sentence
I wish there was a map by county or something. Some states are just too large that it would be great to be able to see hotspots in particular.
We don't have that kind of granularity anymore, both because RFK Jr and DOGE have significantly cut public health funding and because there are so many variants out there now and so little difference between them in terms of presenting symptoms
Well, you don't get one.
Because RFK Jr is in charge, after DOGE gutted basically all the staff in charge of doing things lile that, as well as exposing basically all internal government webservices for foreign actors and random hackers to nose their ways in.
We could try and crowd source one, but at this point, doing so might mean the government decides those involved are domestic terrorists.
Welcome to fascism, with Ya'll Qaeda characteristics.
Reminder that during the less insane Trump Term 1, Trump spent the crucial initial months publically telling everyone it was China's fault, stymying coordination and response planning / early stage plan activation and eventually settled out selling Federally controlled supplies to the highest State/Hospital bidder.
Oh and don't forget to consider injecting yourself with bleach.
WEARING A MASK IS LIKE WEARING A CONDOM.
Would you risk a permanent disease for the sake of "ehh I dont like how it feels"?
“ehh I dont like how it feels”
Considering how well preventable STI's still get around, I'd say that sentiment is a little too common. That or a lot of people are hot garbage at risk assessment.
People are, in fact, hot garbage at risk assessment. See, for example, how many people refused to mask/vax during the height of the pandemic, and the concurrent death rates...
"I can only breathe with a mask on my face when im hiding my identity to beat up on people of color!!! Any other time though, fuck off!!!"
If this one doesn't take out Trump, I'm eating a Chinese bat myself.
Well, like last time, Trump will get treated by the latest medicines at Walter Reed and a vaccine while the rest of the country can get fucked.
I’m eating a Chinese bat myself.
I am sniffing unpasteurized lines of pangolin right now so two steps ahead of you.
Alright if we get remote jobs again this time agree to absolutely not let this one go.
They listed jobs as remote before forcing us to come anyway last time and they will try again.
They’ve told us we can’t work from home. So that’s what I’m going to say. If they try to fire me I’ll use their own words against them.
We have stronger employment law where I live.
I don't know if I should upvote, like or downvote this news :D
It's good to spread important news, but it is a bad news, and a reminder of a failed containment, so how the some system is supposed to work!? Non-serious answers only
Downvote. Reasons:
This is clearly fake news by the LAME STREAM fake news media to damage ~~glorious leader~~ the President's fantastic work to MAGA.
By allowing other users to see this news they start holding the concept of a new variant that is spreading fast in their head and therefore they manifest it. If enough people manifest it, it becomes true (even though it is clearly not, see above).
Even though it is not real, COVID is also just a Chinese hoax that is just a flu so any reporting on it is spreading Chinese propaganda and therefore TREASON (and we downvote treason).

Are americans orks from 40k?
The Pedophile-In-Chief will save us. Just like last time.
He's saving the rest of the world by unwittingly discouraging travel to and from the US.
Time to invest in ivermectin suppliers.
That was a fun little county fair roller coaster ride. Well worth the 2 tickets.
I've been boofing it for years now and my doctor says I'm as healthy as a horse
There won't be any vaccine for this one.
It's in my state but I'm not worried bc between Jesus and essential oils, all will be well. /s
with measles and polio much more virulent and antivaxxers are on the rise.
Lotta people here getting "medical newsworthy" and "general populace newsworthy" confused...
