Maybe we'll have another pandemic, and we can convince all the republicans that they shouldn't get vaccinated, and it'll solve some problems for us.
- Not a pandemic. It would be limited to America. In other places, the population is being vaccinated against it.
- They died at a two to ratio to liberals from COVID. Shouldn't be that hard.
  
  Do you have a source on that? I remember Neil DeGrasse Tyson getting a bunch of heat for claiming 5:1, although that may have used different criteria.
  Edit: It was 5:1 according to https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/neil-degrasse-tyson-vax-tweet/
  Also no source indicated.
- it will be endemic, epidemic, other countries still vaccinate.
If you're unsure of your vaccination status, and Americans born after 1957 and who got their vaccination before 1967, should consider getting a booster shot.
Also, someone who was infectious spent eight hours touring college campuses, six hours in bars and restaurants, and three hours in crowded tourist attractions last weekend. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases known: in a group with no immunity, every person will infect an average of 14 other people. I'm mentioning the campus visitor because they exposed an awful lot of people,a fairly high percentage of whom are likely college students.
The bad news is that the rash that usually lets you know you have measles takes about 14 days to develope - and 14 days from the date of the campus visitor, at least one of the universities starts their spring break. Depending on who got infected and where they go for spring break, this could spread fairly quickly.
- The economic fallout should be charged directly to the State of Texas.
Love how that sign looks like something out of The Walking Dead
- It's pointing to an old windowless van where some old dude in sweatpants is waiting.
  It's still legit, it's just how underfunded the system is.
the American South is a silly place
- Just there?
  
  Definitely not. OP should visit Idaho.
Time for countries to put a travel ban in place.
Steve Ceh, when you read this, I hope your whole family gets it.
