    This image was far more terrifying pre pandemic. We currently live with a virus that has no cure and we handled that with the grace of a goat playing a professional game of tennis.

    For better or worse, here we still are.

      Covid may be dangerous, but for most people your immune system cures you of it.

      Rabies, which is likely what that truck is carrying, is almost always fatal if you’re not vaccinated in time and there is no cure.

      No joke.

        Seeing the motorcycle sticker, I believe it’s just a trailer with motorcycles in it because they can be addictive and there’s no cure for it!

        Tell that to all the people who died or who have long covid.

        Long covid is actually a subset of a series of diseases we have no cure for. It has similar symptoms to Lyme disease, ME/CFS, or PICS.

        for most people your immune system cures you of it.

        Just like polio. Make sure to use all the means at your disposal, including a vaccine tested on like 7 billion other people. If you can’t handle the icky needle part, consider trying to overthrow your government in a shaman costume.

            Ah damn, was phone sourcing while pooping before bed. But c19 very much causes lymphopenia and it’s cumulative with repeated infection. This thing absolutely wrecks your immune system

            (On particularly heartening paper pointed out the similarities to HIV so um yaaay -)
