Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Me scrolling past these posts on hexbear without paying them too much mind is the equivalent of the start of a zombie movie where the TVs/radios in the background are talking about some strange new virus that makes people act weird.

I wonder who it'll be blamed on this time

How long until they blame China

"Folks, Mao had the right idea killing all the sparrows... very bad birds, not patriotic... but he didn't go far enough. You know I once had a sparrow outside Trump Tower. Living on the street, nesting in literal garbage, very sad."

The president-elect then stared into space for 35 seconds and started doing the Elaine dance.

It came from China in 1997. And they've successfully kept it somewhat contained, of it mutates to human to human contact, it's going to be in America. Burger brains will forget everything past that first sentence.

Yeah they’ve been vaccinating their birds for 20 years

But at what cost?

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't need to look it up... The US hasn't, I guarantee it.

already saw it on reddit. "if this shit takes off you know we cant rely on the chinese to tell the truth"

[–] coolusername@lemmy.ml 9 points 7 months ago

It's crazy because China was extremely open when they found out about COVID. Literally the opposite of CIA propaganda. They decoded the genomics or whatever and gave it to everyone.

In related news, the bird flu case in Hawaii wastewater seems to have been from birds:

So, this is it, right? Unless some sort of genuine miracle happens, we now have a head of the FDA who thinks vaccines shouldn't be used at all and will likely attempt to curb their use and possibly even ban them, and we have a new confirmed infectious and dangerous virus spreading in our population. How does this end in anything except an outright coup of the government to reinstate actual health policies, or the death of the majority of the country?

Didn't the Black Plague kill enough people to change how names worked? How would this unchecked plague be any different?

How would the US war machine function if based in a country with a population of 110 people?
