IIRC people die from plague every year

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 27 points 1 day ago

Yep, and every time people post about it like it's something new, and every time people inform them that it happens every year.

I didn't realize that Making America Great Again meant bringing us back to pre- Columbian standards. The natives will be happy.

i always laugh when false color SEMs are slapped on as a background for scientific journalism cuz medical cases don't really have big dramatic imagery

They should put some pictures of teratomas or something with the teeth and the hair

Which is weird, because we have some VERY dramatic pictures of the plague. Most of them in black and white, thankfully.

Meanwhile, an estimated 15k+ have died of Covid-19 so far this year.

wait are you telling me SEVEN people died of the plague when OBAMA was president?!

hmm... could this be politicized news? 🤔

So... Just to be clear on what you're saying: this isn't anything unusual, it's just clickbait, and everywhere else doesn't need to immediately close their borders?

He died with the plague. It could have been anything that killed him, like a vaccine. The plague is no worse than a flu.

irony is for nerds
