Timmah!

Lol. Here is a study done of viruses found in Apes & monkeys hunted for bushmeat in Africa: it is highly concerning, considering the sheer number of viruses circulating in the ape & monkey populations in Africa. How humans acquired the ape precursors of HIV-1 groups M, N, O, and P is not known; however, based on the biology of these viruses, transmission must have occurred through cutaneous or mucous membrane exposure to infected ape blood and/or body fluids. Such exposures occur most commonly in the context of bushmeat hunting (Peeters et al. 2002). Whatever the circumstances, it seems clear that human–ape encounters in west central Africa have resulted in four independent cross-species transmission events. Molecular clock analyses have dated the onset of the group M and O epidemics to the beginning of the twentieth century..."

Makes you wonder what other nasty viruses have already made the leap to people & are currently circulating in the populations in those areas if HIV had circulated for 70 years over there before becoming a pandemic.

Welcome Twinkiestorm!

Omg, how could I have forgotten: ...Nuh-uuuhhhh!!

=D

....or HIV/Aids.

If certain cultures would quit draggin' shit outta the jungle & trying to eat it, the last 3 epidemics wouldn't have happened... or Ebola. for that matter.

You sayin' you run-over people every day?

Sam Elliot was a perfect fit as a narrator.

...which reminded me of The Big Lebowski phrase repeated by John Goodman's character, Walter Sobchak:

We're gonna need updates. Temperature, symptoms... track the journey of this with you. You can be the Chris Cuomo of XI.

Ham-fisted attention whore?... possibly fisted by said ham?

Lol @ your sense of humour. Be well & speedy recovery to you, brother.

...touching my wiener with my off hand... it's a whole new world, I tell ya; seriously though, still delivering pizzas & making better than usual $$$. If it's a cheapskate on a cash order & they don't tell me to keep the change, I just 'accidentally' cough onto my cash as I'm counting out the change... j/k?

His name is Rudy, although it should be something like Velcro, because he's always sticking to me. He just showed up in my back yard as a kitten about 3 years ago & decided it was his home. Sweet soul.

Meh buddy:

I do not concent... to learning how to spell.

Heynow!

Hammer?

Hammer, is that you?

~40,000 - ~60,000 people die every year from the flu. No panic. Most of these people that have died due to Corona would have died had they caught the seasonal flu. ~40,000 people die every year in auto accidents in the U.S. Better shut down those roadways. Derp.

We need a stupid douchebag virus to thin out the herd; all these selfish, panicky, inconsiderate fucks buying months worth of shit on lizard-brained, fear-based impulse that won't even do shit to help survive the flu part 2... just inconvenience their fellow urban denizens. Should be a temporary law that allows one to kick someone's arse if you catch them rollin' around with a shopping cart full of shit paper or other unnecessary purchasable item.

Hey! Let's have a Corona medal!
