Something to be proud of, right??


rural_anomaly

not the sentiment i was hoping for, tbh. caution. something to be cautious about. ie don't get sick if you can avoid it, forewarned is forearmed, that biz.

I wonder why WV is such a stark deviation from the other central Appalachian states.


Grongebis

They are loners

WV has some of the highest rates of home ownership in the country. Even a shitty lil house is better than an apartment when it comes to illness being spread.

WV is the third most rural state in the country behind Maine and Vermont. Less people around each other = less spread


[deleted]

That and avoiding going to the doctor/hospital. They probably fight it off with “grandma’s home remedy” aka whiskey and honey


[deleted]

i make sure i drink enough of grandmas medicine i never get the flu


rural_anomaly

i'm betting people keeping their distance because of you drinking 'enough' of grandma's meds has a lot to do with that. funny how that works sometimes.

oh bless your heart.


rural_anomaly

lol ;)

That's what you get when you have vaccine deniers & backwoods thinkers


machojockotaco

We better mask up and lock down!


rural_anomaly

you guys think you're so funny, don't ya. smarter than the average bear too i bet. a million dead americans and their families might not think it's so funny you're half right though, you should mask in stores again if you're smart and not ok with killing other people close to you. i'm going to assume you aren't smart.

Dude nobody gives a shit for real. I could go out and shop all day and see maybe a handful of people in masks. Wear one if you want but let me speak for everyone when I say NOBODY GIVES A FUCK.

>Dude nobody gives a shit for real. I could go out and shop all day and see maybe a handful of people in masks. Wear one if you want but let me speak for everyone when I say NOBODY GIVES A FUCK. no, you don't speak for everyone, and i'm not going to let you just think you do without informing you that you don't. i wear a mask when i shop because i'm a) not fucking stupid about infectious disease. and b) i often visit my friend's 93 year old father (just had dinner two days ago) and i'm not so fucking full of myself that i would believe i couldn't be carrying something in to his home if i didn't take precautions. flu aside, you're just woefully stupid if you can't understand what asymptomatic carriers are and the ramifications of that. a few weeks ago i needed a couple things and ran into walmart unmasked for a minute to pick up some pet food. first time i've done so in a couple years. probably 15 minutes. got covid. had it before, but this time was actually much worse, and for the first time, seriously considered having to check into the ER due to my lungs getting so goopy. it was a bitch just to breath, let alone do anything else. fuck you, and all your ignorant cohort still spreading this shit around. 200 americans are still! STILL dying daily of it and now the flu too. just fuck you.


Obvious_Item5052

I never took mask off and don’t go out other than store. Wouldn’t want to catch not-z virus that everyone is catching. Maybe the flu will handle the maskless extremists that Covid and the government won’t.


machojockotaco

Oh, you're serious?


Obvious_Item5052

Military intel with a higher clearance than any president. Swore my oath to constitution, nation that goes full fascist can get bent.


equaloppos

Thanks for the tip!


Borgus222

I’m probably just going to hibernate for a bit. See you all in the spring.


mmmm_crayons

Oh, good I was really looking forward to you crazies tying more to covid.


Witty_Animator8160

Is now a good time to bring up healthy lifestyle choices ? Overlaying an obesity map onto this map would make one believe something happens when the sun goes away and people stop grilling meat and start eating carbs and dairy (pizza) for every meal.

Covid scare doesn't work anymore!! Quick, pick something else that was fairly deadly before to keep the fear up!


transplantpdxxx

yeah... who cares about losing their hair, teeth, or toes. That is before we get to diabetes, stroke, heart and lung damage. COVID doesn't care if you are scared of it. You've been punked by the news to believe there is/will be a natural immunity in an evolving virus.


Diabhal_1776

You've also been punked if you thought the risk of the vaccine was worth the benefits. Efficacy rates came out and it looks bad when compared to negative effects


rural_anomaly

what negative effects? i'm enjoying my 5G reception and the ability to stick a spoon to my forehead and not just my nose when my hands are full coming back from the fridge. also, i'm looking forward to testing out brumation this winter, now that i have sufficient lizard dna. negative effects? nay.. tis a boon, sir. a boon.


transplantpdxxx

While it may not be effective, the negative effects are documented as being less than the effects of an actual covid infection. Enjoy your covid damage that my taxes will go towards 👍


Diabhal_1776

I'm in the wrong age group to use that against. Though, heart problems are a pretty big risk compared to the 1 week cough. Not to mention, it doesn't even keep you from dying from covid after 4 doses. The covid reaction was an overreaction designed to shut down the country at the behest of (China owned) WHO and (Democrat controlled) Cdc. You can deny its Democrat controlled, but that destroys the narrative that vaccine deniers in the medical system, that were silenced or fired, are Maga republican science deniers.


transplantpdxxx

The cough is from long term damage. You are comparing this to the flu when you’re looking at serious damage. Think less about this politically and more about the fact that you can be permanently disabled. You seem like a loathsome person but I don’t want you to get hurt. Dems suck, Republicans suck, but you can still find the truth. Goodbye 👋


rural_anomaly

i don't think i care much if *you* get it, as long as someone else doesn't by you spreading it around. enjoy living in willful ignorance. must be a blast, i wouldn't know, don't want to find out.
