Maybe the bird flu can battle the new bat-vid ha ha just kidding they’re gonna team up

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher.

Is Newsweek being ironic saying we're completely prepared this time?

The person writing the post is not Newsweek

I was about to be like, "What was that novel I read about a bat virus..." Oh. Nevermind. Oops.

And we’ve got real-life Ed Creel 2.0 to keep us all “safe.” Terrific…

As a reminder, SARS and MERS are also novel coronaviruses similar to Covid as well. They were contagious af but too severe and thus too self limiting to take off like Covid. This could very well be like that.

Try not to panic too much yet

Maybe we need to nuke the flu so it’s radioactive??

Certain loud voices on the far right see every natural disaster in a blue state as divine judgement on the people. Think they will say anything if we get a 2nd once-in-a-century plague coinciding with a certain wannabe king?

The good news is we can count on our top-shelf government to be even more on top of things than last time because we’ve surely learned lessons and gotten smarter. 🤣🤣🤣🫠🫠🫠
