Ah yes, the good old, "Leave the disease alone and see what happens" tactic. I wonder if it will just go away this time?

It will be gone be ~~Easter~~ Memorial Day, July 4th or maybe Labor day for sure..
Yeah once it warms up all the cows get some fresh air, drink some bleach, stick a flashlight up their butt, it'll be gone in no time /s
If I don't test for it, it can't hurt me!
… m, mmm, mad?
Also, no games there industry. You don’t get to choose the name, just do your part for public health with your public protections and money (in some cases).
Edit: grammar games
Mad, cow, industry.
Mad cow industry.
Mad, cow industry?
Moo flu it is.
Thank you dear friend.
If the world has to end, at least let it be funny
IF this virus mutates and becomes a pandemic, at least now we know who to blame.
who to blame
Canada?
yet another reason to be vegan.
At this point, it would be a massive step up if people would just not send their money to people who cram cows in tiny cages with no room to move. Even if the vast majority of people can't give a shit about the well being of animals, they should at least be able to realise that breeding horrific viruses so they have baby cow juice loaded up with drugs is a terrible idea just for their own selfish sake. How hard is it to change a few little habits? Are people so far gone that they can't change any aspect of their lives?
It's so hard to take anyone seriously when they have such little self-control and moral absence that they can't even take any tiny step if it means giving up anything that they are used to.
You can take my milkies away from my cold dead calcium fortified skeletal remains!
This is a joke. I think milk actually tastes real gross
I've not drank anything that was made for baby cows in over 6 years(or any other animal products), I get regularly tested for deficiencies, and I have never been under in calcium. They lied to you. They lied to you because they knew how easy it would be to make you feel like you need to do whatever they tell you. Not only did they convince you that it is healthy to drink their milk, they also convinced you to not think about the fact that they pump it full of drugs to increase their profits. You got played so hard that they don't even have to worry that might question them. At this point, most people are too afraid to even consider they've been played because they don't want to entertain the fact that maybe, just maybe, they've been doing something stupid. The count the egos of their victims to continue their scam for them. As a result, people do their job for them and repeat their manufactured lie to their own children.
"Got Milk?" Is a seriously insidious ad campaign. The posters are in every school I've ever seen, and have been for decades.
How hard is it to change a few little habits?
It is legitimately impossible for most 1st-worlders.
They all think they're entitled to what they've had their entire lives, even if it hurts others.
I know, you're right. I bounce back and forth between despising and pitying them. I feel like I should pity more, but honestly, I spend more time despising.
Even the powers of veganism cannot protect you from an airborne virus
obviously, the solution is to dismantle the industries that cause these conditions, but I imagine you already knew that.
Would they prefer calling it cow flu? Either way, it's going to be used as yet another excuse to jack up prices far beyond the impact (as big or as small as it may be). Not looking forward to this.
never really liked milk, but half&half and heavy cream? yes. cheese? very yes. hopefully this gets fixed asap.
