@Andrew

It was a dig at the CDC, not you. I just think it looks a bit ridiculous.

Nah…I’m cool. I think it’s funny, too. Total mugshot feeling. And taking a picture with a mask…geez…and I thought I was anal! Guess they’re trying to set a good example? Go to Baishawan…not a mask in sight and people all crowded together.

@Andrew

It looks like a prison mugshot.

I had exactly that impression the last time they did this - I was thinking he should have had a height scale behind him. And he looked guilty as hell, too.

@Andrew

Unless the CDC is trying to put together a sexy calendar, that is.

Oh yeah, please.

Skinny-fat balding men with pale skin, stooped posture, sparse patches of body hair, and wearing nothing but a blue mask? A great advertisement, I’m sure, for the health expertise embodied by our esteemed CDC

@Icon only likes the younger one, who was all alone for a few days while others were down with the virus. But is he hairy enough? Or is @Icon now branching out?

A few deaths in people under 50 too. Were they unvaccinated?

Were they male?

A few deaths in people under 50 too. Were they unvaccinated?

Were they male?

According to the master spreadsheet, the three 50something fatalities died of a stroke, chronic kidney disease, and cancer “等”, and presumably also tested positive for a runny nose. I’m sure if they’d been vaccinated for the runny nose they would have shrugged off the cancer and their ruined organs would have repaired themselves.

Can’t miss an opportunity to muddy the statistical waters, eh.
