Reminder: he was going to let us all die when Covid hit. It was nothing, it was going away in a few days, it's just a cold. Why would you get on a double decker bus when the driver is drunk as fuck and snorting coke off the horn? People voted for this bus crash.

Once again they show that they're really only pro-birth.

Not really, they are more like β€œforced-birth”.

To be fair, they are also pro-death.

They just want to make sure you're fully aware of your death before you get to perish 😊

If only something that could help prevent getting this disease existed, you know, like a vaccine. Unfortunately it doesn't exist so we can only pray God to save us /s

Are the people hourly or salary? Even if salary I am sure there are ways to take a day off from work.

All that needs to happen is for these people to take a day off or meet on the off hours that they are not being paid and publish it themselves. I am sure there will be retribution but its also possible that legally they can provide a solution to prevent an even worse flue season next year.
