So... in short, we have bird flu... more disturbingly on bird flu... among it's potential jumping metrics are cows milk...

(while our HHS guy is pushing for unpasturized milk).

we're anticipating a new branch of covid.

The president's boss is one most against at home work, and really all measures that helped reduce the spread of the last virus.

We're really shaping up for one hell of a health disaster.

Don't forget they are getting rid of or at least try to get rid of the tracking of disease... Research... And vaccines themselves...

That's probably how they bring the Medicare and social security trust funds into solvency.....

Don’t leave out the mystery hemorrhagic fever in the Congo

According to the WHO’s Africa office, the first outbreak in the town of Boloko began after three children ate a bat and died within 48 hours following hemorrhagic fever symptoms.

Newsweek has contacted the United States Department of Health and Human Services, via email, for comment.

As soon as Lil Bobby finishes dropping off another bear carcass in Central Park he'll look right into this...

Man, this Final Season of "The United States of America" is going to be wild. Writers pulling out all the stops. Bringing back a crowd favorite, the Clown King, wrote in a part for Elon (even though nobody voted for him), bird flu, measles, Genocide in various parts of the world, now adding Covid from season 2020? Damn....

Those filthy liberals just can't stop themselves from doing everything they can to make him look bad, huh? Smh my head.

"CDC is aware of a publication about a new bat coronavirus, but there is no reason to believe it currently poses a concern to public health."

Beside, it's almost Spring, these things go away as soon as it warms up.

And if it doesn't go away it's just a regular flu

It’s cool, scro, they’ll blame it on the dems and deep state hating his success.

[–] UristMcHolland 3 points 1 week ago

There's also some kind of new illness rapidly killing people in the Congo after some kids ate a bat.

[–] Hafty 1 points 1 week ago

Oh hell yeah, we’re doing 2020 again but this time Trump’s in charge the whole way through. Can’t wait to not have access to life saving vaccines.
