They should try and infect every cow so they can build up resistance. 🤓
Fun fact: the earliest known case of the 1918 "Spanish flu" was in Kansas.
The "German cockroach" didn't originate from Germany.
Neither did german chocolate cake
That one has an excuse - it's named after Samuel German.
Along with his Spanish friend English Memorial
I really thought you were gonna say English Muffin. 🥴
Gonna start calling it the Kansas flu
If we have another pandemic on top of the current one I will be displeased.
None of them are even good plagues, there were no zombies and I still had to go to work. I don't think it should count if you still have to go to work.

It's been hitting South America hard. Only a matter of time until it spread to the US.
Mystery Illness Impacting Texas, Kansas
Only a matter of time until it spread to the US.

I meant now that they have identified the mystery illness as the highly pathogenic avian flu, it's not surprising that it has moved into the US. It has been in South America for several seasons, and avian flu can be carried by migratory birds. It was only a matter of time until it spread like this.
Unfortunate, but not surprising.
Texas, Kansas? Or Texas and Kansas
Cow-vid
Elderly cows can take care of themselves and wouldn’t want to sacrifice their grandcalf’s economic future. Keep them all together going strong.
Feed them to the rich in tartar form.

I'm tired, boss.
I was wondering what the hell that was. It tore through my workplace like a tornado on meth. I figured it was covid V78.2 or some shit.
Can we please invent one that ends all Society humans I'm sick of living inside a portal to other dimensions
