Chief among things to know is that if you thought a quad-demic is bad then just give RFK Jr. a bit of time to cook. You'll be amazed how many concurrent pandemics we can achieve.
USA #1!
Let's also bring back measles, whooping cough, smallpox, and polio!
Hold off on mumps, rubella, and tetanus, though, we've got to save something for next year.
Next year will be when bird flu spreads to humans. It's my understanding that they found a mutated avian flu virus that was adapting to human respiratory systems in one of the people who died from avian flu. Thankfully it didn't spread from that person, but I imagine it's just a matter of time given how the Trump administration handled the last novel virus to affect humans.
Make America Germy Again!
I am so thankful I am a insular, asocial, hermit.
Until the delivery guy gives something to your out-of-practice immune system! Haha
Im not that isolated, but I will go a week at a time without direct human contact.
The media is going to supermoon disease outbreaks until everyone stops listening.
What to know about the quad-demic: You gon be quad-dead
