    Combined with measles fucking up immune systems, the next few years are going to be oh-so-interesting for us here.

    Just a matter of time before the world puts a travel advisory on the US, like with other countries with disease outbreaks and terrorist groups.

    It doesn’t hurt to start stocking up on masks while they’re readily available. If I remember correctly, there was a shortage of N95 masks and other PPE early on during the COVID lockdown.
