Do you think the government will cover it up like covid 20?

Damn, that's must have been a really good cover up, I haven't even heard about that one until now!

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I assume they're referring to how the US government was very slow in responding to the pandemic, downplaying the severity.

[–] remon@ani.social 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

That was covid 19.

Covid 20 is news to me.

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

OH LMFAO MY BAD!!!

[–] Tomassci@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Covid seems to be several versions behind.

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

You should set your Covid to auto-update. Otherwise you might get a vir… waaaaait a minute…

I’m not afraid of the hentai virus but, I’m worried about Hanta virus. There was one person infected with in my city.

Though, not worried for another pandemic (yet).

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You should be afraid of it. If your work PC gets infected with it, you could lose your job when all your work files get replaced with hentai.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 days ago

Hanta virus is so 2026, in big 26 were worried of hentai.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's some weird shit that turns us into hot anime girls right? Well...

... I've seen worse things happening on earth in the recent years.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

surely some sort of superpowers should be involved?!

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

no. its not airborn. also the government did not cover up covid they were ignorant about it. trump literally withdrew people looking for viruses in china like that in like october/november of 2019. like early nov the last of em where flying back to the states. could not have been worse if you did actively do it on purpose. Absolute perfect timing to fuck everyone.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So you heard about covid 20?

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I assumed you meant covid19 not being understood in early 2020. if you actually mean covid20 that makes no sense as it would have to be an independent cross over with no relation to covid19 which is so spectacularly unlikely. mutations of covid19 is still covid19. Its just variations and they get their little name addons.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 2 days ago

Covid20 ia real, i saw it happen.

[–] Cantaloupe@lemmy.fedioasis.cc 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What symptoms does the Hentai virus have?

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 days ago

Multiple orgasms

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago

I'm terrified of the Hentai Virus... what if it forces us to jerk it to NTR?! I'm not mentally prepared for that scenario.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, I'm just scared of Ligma.

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

OK, here you go.

WHAT'S LIGMA, BURGERBARON?

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

LIGMA BALLS HAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHA

No, 2D viruses can't hurt me!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I haven't been afraid of the hantavirus since learning about it from an episode of X-Files and then reading up on it afterward because it sounded scary as fuck.

Why is Lemmy so obsessed with this? Other than news about the cruise ship, I've only see people on Lemmy talking about it. It's not a common disease. Unless you are on that cruise ship, you don't have much to worry about.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

was like the first thing my wife said when hearing about it on the news and she can't stop giggling when the name is said.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm even less afraid of that. I want to be infected with hentai.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah I'm scared. I refuse to have a tentacle shoved up my ass.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

No. We should be reasonably prepared for a pandemic. It's when everyone has forgotten they happen we should start worrying.

[–] herculeskan@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

No, I got coronavirus and nothing happened

[–] 18107@aussie.zone 12 points 2 days ago

Not too many people will tell you about the time they got coronavirus and died.

Physics Girl has another story though.

[–] TheOSINTguy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Congratulations on having a strong immune system, but others aren't so lucky.
