Next pandemic is gonna be a lot of fun to watch from the other side of the planet ๐Ÿคฆ

Sadly, a pandemic is a global occurrence. So it will be a little less fun to watch.

I get that every member of this admin has the intention of destroying America, but what do they think happens when they succeed. They think they gunna be the madmax style warlords? Like once their accumulated wealth is worthless do they think they are ruthless enough to take that mantle? I look forward to some pretty wild news of their demise.

Oh how I wish we didn't share a geographic border with this fuck-up of a nation (with its ability to spread diseases directly to us).

... and how I also wish we didn't have a significant cell of idiots within our borders who seem to believe the same insanity.

EU, please take under your wing. Whatever faults may be there surely it must be better than this.

I'm just over here glad that I never stopped masking, distancing, washing my hands, or carrying my sanitizer around.

Bummer that not everyone is able to do that.
