If we’re still in the planning stages for this, I’d like to propose that the candies be shaped like little .556 rounds.

We need more straight shooters in politics to take care of issues head-on.

Plot twist - he's trying, but the only way to communicate from the afterlife is with people who honestly loved you while you were alive

You're thinking of the other TPUSA guy Bill Montgomery, who was a fan of medical conspiracies like COVID until it killed him. Truly lived how he died, not using oxygen right and afraid.

Quick disclaimer, some of this sounds more snarky than I wanted, so apologies in advance. Also Tl;Dr: this isn't another pandemic, just a new disease.

Real talk, I only heard of it yesterday. Thing is, and the internet reeeeaally doesnt like this sorta thing... it isn't a big deal. It only takes a few searches through studies to see, and even then there's articles that do a deep dive that explain how this virus works that are just openly found on google without much digging at all.

So, what it has going for it is that the virus started off as a plague. That meaning that it transmitted itself from animal to human. Exceptionally rare chance, yet our immune system is not setup to deal with it as we've historically never been exposed to it. Looking into this specific virus, there are several strands we've identified. The vast majority of which have an insane death rate, save for a single normal-rate strain for a typical cold.

Here's the kicker. The type that's spread without incredible difficulty is the type that's akin to a normal, run of the mill cold. The high death rate strains are simply not easy to get. Yet when people share info about it, what's mentioned is how contagious the low-death rate strain is, and the death rate of the more dangerous ones that don't spread easily. Looks like a nightmare so it grabs headlines, but really it's not all too horrible.

Sooo, simply put - the scary variant is deadly but hard to get, the mild variant is sufferable but much more common. We call them both by the same name so the news about the common one spreads fast and everyone thinks it's the scary one.

Did I get it right?

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 2 points 15 hours ago

That’s a bingo.

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago
