    Americans aren’t getting any lockdowns in the next 4 years regardless of any pandemic.

      The only nice thing in America is that states can make their own laws; when the bird flu pandemic starts, sane states will institute rules to deal with it, they don’t need to wait for the federal government

            Only just now?

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Indian_boarding_schools

            We’ve had freedom of religion perhaps, but never freedom from religion. Christian gobbledygook is baked into America’s DNA, and deviation from that has always resulted in a paddling.

            Take Trump for example. A dyed in the wool contrarian. The walking talking embodiment of cutting off ones nose to spite their face. Refuses to acknowledge any authority but his own, often at the hazard of himself and others. And even he feigns to bend the knee to religion, and play act at being a Christian. That’s how truly compulsory it is.

                  Some instances has censoring installed, so they really see it that way, and their messages are [REDACTED], as far, as I know.

                  So since the word contains part that ‘is a derogatory term for people of East and Southeast Asian descent’, it gets censored

        Yeah but if the president himself is telling the people to not worry about it, what hope do the states have in enforcing it.

        See: Boris Johnson vs The Lockdowns, and what effect that had on the public.

    I could only BE so lucky. Lockdowns were a boon on both my partner’s and my life. I feel horrid for folks who were affected negatively but it was the best two years of our life, doing nothing but experiencing each other alone at home.

      I loved lockdown. I had so much stuff in my chest freezer I got to use, we both lost a bunch of necessary weight due to actually following serving sizes. I beat like, three games in my backlog. Didn’t have to visit anybody, didn’t have to leave the house. I worked from home, and worked enough to pay off my student loans and buy two luxury watches. Plus donate to my alma mater’s fund for students stuck on campus. That was after my month long furlough, that is. Where I spent my time baking and cleaning and painting and every week I trimmed my facial hair into worse and worse creations to annoy my wife. We got an inflatable hot tub. I set up a project in the basement. We got a dog. It was one of the best years of my adult life.

      Only downside is my grandma died.

          Thank you. Thankfully, she didn’t pass from covid, it was the culmination of her dementia. She didn’t even know there was a pandemic going on. Covid did affect me visiting her, but I did still get to say goodbye we. I was even one of the 10 people allowed at her funeral. She hadn’t been well for a long time, and it was really unfortunate that she didn’t pass before the pandemic, and more of her relatives would have been able to be there and we could have really celebrated her. I loved her dearly, and she deserved so much more.

      I thought it was great. The streets were clean, the skies were clear, the lines at the supermarket were short, traffic was minor… and despite what people claimed, you could go out for a walk whenever you wanted, at least around here.

      I talked to my neighbors much more during lockdown than I do these days.

    Unfortunately I actually fear this may happen with the rise of MPOX in the states. If the people in charge of HHS and the Pandemic Response team get gutted or mislead then I fear we will be back to COVID lockdown but for MPOX.

      I’m not really worried about a Mpox pandemic as it only spreads by touch as far as we know. My concern is bird flu. We’re starting to see more cases of it infecting humans and if it turns into a pandemic is will likely be extremely deadly.

    2025 obligatory alternatives to social distancing:

    -Isolate in the office, just never go home (and keep working of course)

    -Instead of not going to work, you can get a free brain worm at one of the new brain worm dispensaries

    -ingest a lethal dose of Ivermectin

    -Storm and plunder one of the official buildings on the list published on the Department of Patriotism’s website (must bring own gallows parts)

      Yeah, March 2025, don’t you remember? Plate armour was back in for a while.

      Way back in '25, yeah, it wasn’t as big as the ones we had recently but they say the latest pandemic should start to clear up by next year. Hopefully it won’t be like the predictions they made in 2034.

        back in '25

        Me and some guys from school
        We bought a van and we packed it hard:
        Toilet rolls, masks, gasoline.
        We thought we could resell it all to tards.

    Nobody (at least of the responsible people in Germany) was considering the psychological ramifications of lockdown.

    So lockdown is not the best solution like the official places are claiming.

      Counterpoint: lockdowns were the best times of the last 5 years for people like myself. Everybody handles them differently.
