    1. I concur. I played a doctor in a high school play — at various times. Invariably this is what happens when desperation sinks in. Enjoy the S show.

    1. @A P Just had a run in with a guy that moved here from Ontario. He lied, made offers he couldn’t pay for, then was too spineless to even respond. All the while bitching about how dishonest Albertans were. He wont last long lol

    2. @3cs3hs what border? you wanna make wall or something ?? or put a zappy collar on everyone, that would do….

    1. I wanted the blue variant, but instead they gave me a green one 😢 My friend Billy got lucky because he found a silver and a gold covid variant on the sidewalk outside of school, but he won’t even let me look at them!

    1. and our Easter dinner will be bugs on a plate if they get their way not allowed meat not even poultry in their Build Back Better world!

    1. @last inline just to be safe we better take away everyone’s jobs and houses and bankrupt the country.

    1. I’m watching in 2162 – I died 70 years ago (from Covid 500 according to the obituary) and my soul has been in the internment camp since then; even death is no escape

    1. That’s how many viruses work. They mutate over time. It’s why we don’t have a cure for influenza or the common cold. We’re just thankful SARS-CoV-2 mutates relatively slowly.

    2. @Aurelian exactly we dont have a cure for the flu, but the flu dosnt cause the whole world to lock down and wear masks all day and we are still fine. this is all so unnecessary

  1. 😂🤣 imagine thinking you can just avoid an advanced virus indefinitely… 🥴 like every country, every person, is going to get this thing. And all variants thereafter. This was supposed to be “flattening the curve” not “avoiding germs forever” if you wanna avoid germs forever may I recommend a movie called “the bubble boy”? It’s a great comedy from the 90’s

    1. @Robin M what’s the problem with “advanced virus?” Some viruses are more advanced then others. There’s tons of viruses that have been effectively treated because we where able to understand their mechanisms of infection. And there’s many others they we don’t understand so treating is difficult. Those are “advanced viruses”.

    2. Avoiding it outright was never the goal. The aim was to minimize hospitalizations until vaccinations took the sting out of it. Think of it like a makeshift splint for a broken arm. It’s not meant to fix the bone, it’s meant to ease the pain until you can get a longer-lasting solution.

  2. They should have emojis for all the different variants so we know which one they’re talking about. Lol

  3. …does anyone, at all, anywhere, actually believe or find themselves in affirmation of what’s going on?

  4. This just in the variants are
    Heart attack
    Stroke
    Cancer
    Suicide
    And fatally falling off step ladders
