Everything is right

The USA has 8,894 jobs per million people

Spain has 12,833 jobs per million

Italy has 17,315 jobs per million

France has 5,114 jobs per million

Canada has 17,291 jobs per million 😲

Mexico has 2,399 jobs per million

America has 4,472.

I guess Beroš was only careful not to compare us to the USA.

California hasn't seen a single new case in five days.

Huge win. Chicago just reported only five new cases for the second day in a row—keeping those numbers steady.

And the thing is, the USA started testing later too, but they’re catching up fast and hitting those high numbers at the top of the pile.
Meanwhile, we're just lagging behind.

In two weeks, they'll probably be comparing us to Mexico. 🤦

But those are just the people who actually got tested, right? What about the folks walking around with the virus and zero symptoms? How many of them are out there flying under the radar?

1) This virus is spreading way faster than anyone’s initial guesses. The infection count is massive, and most of them (probably even 80%) aren't showing any symptoms at all—they're just moving through the population completely unnoticed.

Man, forget all that, I just wanna know if that tiger at the zoo is actually getting better

When are we finally getting some kind of Police TikTok challenge with Mitar in the background?

Maybe once the bars actually reopen.

You can already see the chaos starting with the cars—just imagine the grind, cruising around Central Park with Mitar blasting on the speakers, people on bikes everywhere, and trying to keep kids from swarming you because they don't understand personal space...

The real legends are the ones demanding police raises.🙏

People have been saying this for ages: there are hundreds of thousands, if not more, people worldwide who have already cruised through the virus and built up antibodies.

That’s exactly the group researchers will be hunting for in upcoming trials. In fact, plenty of people in China have already been used to help develop vaccines. I was reading this morning that they started human trials in China this week using two potential vaccines based on antibodies pulled from the blood of survivors.

That’s why everyone keeps stressing the importance of wearing masks. It’s how we protect ourselves and everyone else.

Hey, anyone else here actually a fan of Taskmaster on Offside Chat?

He’s honestly acting like a total toddler after that outburst, just moping around like he lost his favorite toy. 🤣

Honestly, let's just rename him Tina. A little tribute to the artist who's clearly bleeding for his craft here.

Or maybe it’s about Elizabeth II, you know, like the whole crown thing 🤷

The second Elizabeth ☕

And honestly, if Kosorica asks why she's the second one, someone better tell her it's just because Andrew was first 😂

The WHO is claiming we won't see anything from vaccines for at least another 12 months... if that's true, then all these lockdowns have been a total waste of time.

To be fair, the WHO hasn't really maintained any credibility with their constant "expertise" since this epidemic started—hard to take them seriously on just about anything anymore.

Jaca 🤦

Those are just estimates. Back during the Swine Flu outbreak, they managed to put together an effective vaccine in just eight months. The virus broke out in early 2009, and by September, they were already rolling out production.

But yeah, they definitely trip over themselves. They constantly contradict their own statements. One minute they're telling one story, and the next they've completely flipped the script and run right over what they said before.

The WHO needs to be shut down immediately, they’re nothing but absolute clowns.

That lead doctor from South Korea mentioned that a real vaccine could take 10 to 15 years.🤷

Unless he meant—or maybe I just misheard—10 to 15 months, but I'm pretty sure he said 10 to 15 years.

Maybe just grab a mask and you'll be fine.

Fifteen years? Yeah, right, lol. Even Dzikic mentioned we should be able to finally breathe easy by the end of the year. Everyone seems to be pointing toward that six-month to one-year window at most. We really need to trust the science here. Everything has advanced so much across the board because, thanks to modern tech, we actually understand how these viruses work and how to fight them way better than before.

The bottom line is getting this virus under control so we can slowly get back to our regular daily routines. And looking at the current momentum, it feels like even the hardest-hit areas are finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.
