A friemd of mine made this meme. His name is PEPE, yes his mom named him and spells it that way that 65 yrs ago, go figure
this is from a friend of mine that is a nurse way up in the medical field
Remember a month or so ago when people were complaining about being sick and couldn’t get rid of it for weeks? 🧐
Let's do some critical thinking. COVID-19 started emerging in early December. Given the incubation period, that means infection started in November, and given international travel and tourism rates, it DID NOT TAKE 3+ months for it to come here. It's been here.
I've had numerous friends across the country who've had crazy bad colds in the last few months, that we now believe were actually Coronavirus. US authorities only just started testing for it, and even now the testing is severely limited, so in all likelihood, many have had or do have it, and it's gotten passed off as just a typical cold - because (AHEM, NEWSFLASH) it IS just a bad cold for the vast majority of people who get it.
The normal colds and flu that we've already been dealing with kill thousands every season - it just doesn't get talked about because it's nothing new and the media can't use it to panic us at this point. It's sad but expected that elderly and immunocompromised people are prone to complications from those viruses. This is no different.
Wash your hands, eat your vegetables, don't touch any old people (for their safety) and calm the heck down. Panic is what's going to crash the market. Panic is what's going to empty stores. Panic is what's going to lead to serious economic impacts from this - YOU are causing economic impacts - not the virus. So please, let's act like we have some damn sense!
Friday I went to the liqueur store to buy everclear to make moonshine and the cashier asked me if I was make hand sanitizer.
Tom Hanks sparks Vegemite debate after thanking 'helpers' while in coronavirus isolation in Australia
Quarantined Tom Hanks has sparked a light-hearted debate after sharing a picture of Vegemite on toast while thanking his coronavirus isolation "helpers".
The much-loved actor - who announced earlier this week that he has the coronavirus, alongside his wife Rita Wilson - is currently in isolation in Australia.
Posting from his quarantine today, Hanks tweeted: "Thanks to the Helpers. Let’s take care of ourselves and each other. Hanx."
Alongside this statement, he posted a photo of stuffed kangaroo and koala holding the Australian flag, as well as a piece of toast thickly spread with Australian staple Vegemite.
But the picture quickly sparked a debate on social media over how much Vegemite he should be using - with some questioning how he could eat the product at all.
Some chastised Hanks, saying he should have used a gentle “scrape” of the brown paste.
One wrote: "Tom. What are you doing? No Australian puts that much vegemite on their toast."
Another said: "Tom, I mean this with all the respect and love in the world, but that is too much Vegemite."
One person added: "Australians everywhere having a nervous breakdown over this vegemite ratio."
But others said he was now a "true Australian".
"The way Tom Hanks eats Vegemite (look how THICK it is!!!) means he's now officially Australian, that's how citizenship works here," she said.
Another said: "OMG that's some HERO level Vegemite spreadage. #Respect."
Some even shared helpful graphics about the best way to enjoy the snack.
Several people gave the advice about what they said was the accepted ratio - one third Vegemite, and two-thirds butter.
Hanks announced earlier this week that he and Wilson, both 63, had tested positive for Covid-19, which has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation.
The couple, who have been married for more than 30 years, were in Australia while Hanks prepares to film Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic, in which he plays the singer’s manager Colonel Tom Parker.
Australian director Luhrmann, who is known for films including Moulin Rouge, Romeo + Juliet and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, is also in self-isolation.
