Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It's unfortunately not unusual to "have" outbreaks in the US, but this is an unusual outbreak. Currently, if nothing changes, it will lead to losing the technical status of being eradicated in the states by the end of this year.

Canada is on the same path to losing its status in 2025

Yeah, Canada has just as many MAGA, for some reason... some of them even wear the hats.
