Yay!@! More free money from the Gov!@! Woot!@!

I bet it spreads more easily and is more lethal, it'll probably target the young as in 15-30 to reduce future population growth. But we'll see infected people moved into nursing homes to reduce the burden of old people like last time.

500 million here we come. I'ma getting quad boosted! The last one didn't kill me and I'm pretty sure I won't die from this one either!

See everydood in 2026!
