I think the word recorded is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, because TB used to infect something like 70% of the urban population in the US.

It's how my boy Arthur went out. Poor bastard never made it to Tahiti to farm mangoes like he'd always dreamt of.

so you can just call it an american tradition and move on?

What a terrible time for this to happen…

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Yeah but… red state. 🤪

If there was justice in this world it would only effect the dipshits… but we all know there is no justice.

effect

"Affect" — to "effect" dipshits would be to cause dipshits to come into being.

I write both words all the time and still mess them up constantly lmao.

You could, at the very least, fix your typo..

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Then the next dude’s comment won’t make sense. Preserving for posterity.

The unfortunate part is the two counties in KS most affected currently are two blue counties. They're the more densely populated part of the state being part of the Kansas City metro. Sucks 😔

I mean... There's a vaccine so...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is in the KC metro. It’s happening in bluer counties. Also, I bet it’s happening in Missouri too but I haven’t heard anything.

Red state, red problems. Blue dots are still red states—unfortunately. The “Find Out” period will be wildly entertaining. The leopard show is having an amazing season.

This seems like an unnecessarily cruel opinion. It seems shortsighted to wish illness on people trying to do better when the odds are against them.

If you want to turn these states blue, you can’t celebrate kill off all the blue voters. In fact, the US House district this is happening in, flipped a red seat blue in 2018.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

There are plenty of red voters there who will meet the same fate. It’s 2025, and we are backsliding as a species. You’ll have to forgive me for having very little sympathy at this point.

My state will override Trump and supply vaccines, I have no doubt.

Washingtonian here. I’m sure we’ll have them regardless of what that oaf says.

Heyooooo! Mountain’s out!

Apparently they've been monitoring this cluster for years, and this many cases is typical for a major city metro area. One of my friends works in public health, specifically TB, and this is basically the baseline.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I'm sure the white house has a plan for dealing with this. By making it worse. Hey, a bad plan is still a plan.

The first world paint job is cracking if it's not already fully off.
