    Living in the cousin-fuckingly deep south, there’s a gun show like every single weekend. If I catch this shit, or covid, or really anything transmissible by droplets or contact, I’m going to start going to these events, and spread the fucking fire to the people who voted for it.

    And I mean like blow my nose into my palms, take a shit and not wash up after, etc; then handle as many guns and shake as many hands as possible.

    Y’all want to vote against public health, fine. Have some fucking pathogens.

      I went to an RV show last spring to get ideas and a rack for my van. Some redneck gave me covid. It induced RA as a reaction and today I can barely walk despite all the rheumatology meds.

      Fuck all of these people.

      Do give you an idea of the infectious nature of TB, they are also naturally resistant to some antibiotics due to them possessing a waxy outer coat in combination to their cell wall. They also divide pretty slowly adding another layer of protection. So you need specific antibiotics to get through them. As you know tb forms nodules in your lungs where it becomes somewhat dormant, a granuloma of sorts. Antibiotics resistance in TB is a real big problem too, TB is famous for being multi drug resistant in some strains.

        Yeah. As surgical tech for nearly a decade, this goes against every instinct I’ve got, but I’ve got some pretty severe fuck-it syndrome right about now.

      I don’t blame you, friend. I can’t wait until those bastards wind up with a taste of their own not-quite-medicine, yk?
