I literally just spit some drink out my nose when I opened this thread and saw this.
~Thank you.~
A spit-take a day keeps the brain worm away.
You’re welcome.
It’s so great to be at the end of human cooperation and civilization. I’m so excited for when antibiotics stop working because of factory farming. /s
Stop spreading panic.
While NWS can infect humans—and those cases are grisly—it is relatively rare.
The US has halted imports of cattle, bison, and horses from Mexico to try to keep the parasite out. Officials have also set up nearly 8,000 traps across Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. Among 13,000 screening samples, so far, none have turned up NWS.
Maybe he meant end of cooperation because in times past, we would have unified against this threat and kept it at bay, but now we’re all fucked and everything is on fire so nobody has time to deal with the situation?
You do realize the “/s” denotes they are being sarcastic.
Also:

It’s only sarcasm because he said, “It’s so great to”. This means OP believes the other portion of the comment, but doesn’t actually believe it’s great.
It’s a doomer karma farming comment with no substance.
No more than you putting words in ops mouth to fit your hateful agenda. 🤷♂️
What are you talking about? What’s my agenda? Why am I hateful?
OP said it was the end of civilization. That’s a little glib.
You do know who is running the government right now right?
Ok, then fucking panic. Jesus Christ.
The worm is coming from inside the [White] House
Federal Fish and wildlife are killing off endangered wolves in new mexico to protect cattle. Sincerely as a person who appreciates the planet we live on I hope cattle ranchers have the life they voted for!
Look for draining or enlarging wounds, as well as signs of discomfort. Also look for screwworm larvae (maggots) and eggs in or around body openings, such as the nose, ears, and genitalia, or the navel of newborn animals.

Did RFK cough it out? Or does it spread anally? That way tRump would already have it!
What is this the new African killer bee scare? They’re tracing it by the mile?
You probably don’t have anything to fear, I think 12 people got it in the '72 outbreak, but it can be brutal for livestock.
I would not underestimate this particular threat. Under a more competent administration I would at least worry slightly less. But the levels of incompetence in positions of power have me genuinely worried. This is a real threat that we have carefully managed since the Nixon administration (IIRC). If it makes its way here it will wreak havoc on livestock.
Oh yeah I remember that old horror movie about the killer bees. The Swarm. Scared the crap out of me as a kid.
Is that the one where the bees cause a nuclear meltdown in Houston or something?
They cause a nuclear explosion even though the power plant should only be able to go into meltdown.
Edit the scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So8Ut2evqko
Holy crap 🤣
So move RFK 100 miles away.
god: “Ima give it screw shape for the extra fuck you”
I’ll take a screw worms over brain worms any day of the week.
