Oh jeez, did someone poop the town well? ?
Gettin shiggy wid it
Don’t tell Mothra, but Shigella is Godzilla’s new love interest.
My daughter’s name is Shigella Ebola Dobbs.
/It’s pronounced Shy-Jella
She sounds, well, untouchable.
Do folks wash their masks at those laundromats?
No they will not tell us which laundromats. They need to protect the laundromats! The public? Well…they don’t protect the public anymore. All we get from the people we pay to keep us safe are closed doors and they keep all the secrets…
I actually read in a previous LoCO story the names of 2 laundromats suspected of being contaminated. You can check it out if you’re worried…
Thanks. But no- I was just ranting about government. And now I don’t even have that…so thanks alot!
The article linked at the bottom names the laundromats.
Well crap. Another microscopic monster out on the prowl in old town. I’m wondering it it came from the knobs or from inside the Machines themselves ?
Fauci has been out of the limelite for a while. Maybe hes back at the lab stirring up another crisis for us to fund ?
They could have at least put the teleprompter over the camera . . .
Did you hear that Biden was taken to the hospital today with similar shigella type symptoms?… he couldn’t stop Putin.
Hahahaha
??
The world is one big Ponzi scheme, why should we believe ANYTHING anyone says anymore?
believe nothing you hear and half of what you see
So are these cases not connected to the earlier ones or is it just that they are but showed up later?
Some more advice would be is protect your hands when touching very public areas – like door handles, opening free newspaper boxes, grocery carts, yadayada. I use my sleeve or shirt end when I’m touching most of these items.
Gloves… old fashioned gloves that can be thrown in the wash after use.
There is a segment of our population that uses the outdoor facilities. If you go outdoors it is like getting a manicure from Madge. At least with needles being coveted and reused I do not find needles where I walk anymore.
