"You all happy Piggy is president for this emergency?"

Oh, God.

He'll do what he did last time: deny it, minimize it, blame it on someone else.

Of course he did rush through a vaccine last time. One that MAGA didn't use and now gets mad at him for developing.

So, another 1.2 million dead, at bare minimum.

Sweet. Canada sends infectious geese to destroy our chickens. Genius.

Oh well. Guess it's a good thing I got that flu shot.

Public health officials have been warning about the dangers of massive flu outbreak, well, forever. Obama created a entire White House Task Force to respond to this kind of threat. Trump, naturally, destroyed that.

If only we had a functioning government that could inform us of such potential threats.

The birds would have been killed by windmills anyway. Nothing to see here.

Wait till Nipah virus hits. 40-70% of the "bathed in the blood of christ" anti-maskers will take a dirt nap. 2 week incubation time.
