context: this meme is 3 years old. think about what everyone including that gentleman in the back did to protect everyone around them.
-
A lot of people still don't understand that most masks are only really good for protecting others rather than the wearer and that this was the main point of asking people to wear them. I've seen people have revelations and change their opinion about masks upon having this explained.

I’ve seen people have revelations and change their opinion about masks upon having this explained.
I've seen more who openly don't give a fuck.
-
High quality masks like N95s are incredibly effective at protecting the wearer when used properly.
-
I repeat this to everyone I can. Obviously there is some personal benefit to wearing a mask but unless you're being insanely careful about what you touch ALL the time it's just not gonna do a whole lot. On the other hand if you're hacking and spewing all over the place and you absolutely have to be out in public please, for the love of fucking God put politics aside and keep your bodily fluids to yourself.

I wonder if she's eligible for a Herman Cain award.

people are still dying from COVID & people think it's "old news" lol
-
In the "quiet" COVID month of July 1990 people died of COVID, compared to 86 people with influenza.
And that's a quiet month.
-
Read July 1990 as a date not: in July, 1990 people
-
worldwide, US or other country?
-
This includes deaths from covid-induced pneumonia, and influenza has higher seasonality. Including deaths from influenza-induced pneumonia, not cherry picking a summer month, and using a per capita statistic shows that covid is more deadly than the flu, but only about twice as deadly, not almost 24 times more deadly as your comment implies. Further, if you are under 50, the mortality rates for influenza are roughly equal or lower than covid depending on your age. Flu is much more likely to be disastrous for young children than covid.

Now do the states for Obesity or smoking related deaths

I too would wear a mask, headphones and probably a sleepmask if I were forced to sit next to someone who enjoys Ayn Rand.
-
It's not very safe though, you never know when such person would have idea to excercise their freedom and virtues on your belongings and/or body.
-
Yeah you're definitely getting pickpocketed.

must be a 3 year old meme
-
My workplace just went back to masking because it's already kicking off to be a banger of a respiratory illness season. I'll use whatever I can to remind people it's not just about your comfort.
-
Be sure to get the new booster. I delayed getting it by a week and tested positive Saturday morning. Sinus + Upper Respiratory infection has been a fun thing to experience lmao.
Worst part so far was last night when I couldn't tell I was eating expired kimchi until I took a closer look. Lack of smell or taste can be tricky lol.
-
Yep. My work just went work from home for all non essential personnel for the foreseeable future because a few covid cases in my office.
-
I'm so glad my last two jobs have been fully remote. I can't imagine working in an office again and I'm grateful I don't have to. Most of my friends are still working remotely too which is kinda cool.

"how to look punchable with this one simple trick!"

Daddy Peterson books work just as well btw

Have her blasting with a speaker as well and coughing on everything wiping her nose on the seat n shit.

Selfishness as a virtue?
Christ, how can anyone listen to Ayn Rand after becoming an objectivist and not getting serious are we the baddies energy
-
Oh because they aren't wearing a mask?
-
Yeah I dont get it?

The woman is reading The Virtue of Selfishness by Ayn Rand. The meme is using the book as a caption, to highlight the selfishness of the woman's actions (not wearing a mask). There's an additional layer as well.
Ayn rand is an (incredibly horny) author. She developed Objectivism, a philosophical school of thought that functions off the idea of knowledge and values are objective. That "they exist and are determined by the nature of reality, to be discovered by one's mind, and are not created by the thoughts one has". Objectivism is popular among conservatives as it appeals to their world view. The "facts over feelings" crowd in particular loves to dickride Ayn Rand.
Some notable fans of her work include Elon Musk, Peter Theil, Amber Heard, Ben Shapiro, and Jordan Peterson. That's not relevant to the meme, I just want to highlight that objectivism is a joke and the people who support it are awful.

There's a new type of long covid where you can't stop posting about the covid years.
-
I know of 4 people who have had it within the last 2 months. We're still in the COVID years.
-
I just had it. Only ever got hit midly, but man does it ever linger. That tiny cough stays for weeks. Probably useful from a virus's evolutionary pov. I'm not sick enough to stay at home, but I am sick enough to infect others. Those dubious fucking viruses man!
-
Got it a month ago, not the worst worst (I have collected them all :-/ ) but quite bad.
1 week after no longer being sick at all I just wheezed for moving up two flights of stairs. Normally I'm in quite OK shape but this sucker is just draining your lung capacity.
-
-
implying "the covid years" are over
-
Yes, they are
-
-
My brother in Christ, I have covid right now
-
It's definitely not over dude.
I caught it after one person infected over a dozen people at a birthday party last week.
I spent over two days locked to a couch unable to handle any food with a 104 fever and now I'm mostly just dealing with the leftover sinus & upper respiratory infection it caused.
And this is honestly one of the first covid posts I've seen here in a bit. No idea what you are talking about.
-
I avoided COVID for 3 years and have had it twice since July.
-
What on earth are you talking about.
