We can't even come together to wear a peice of cloth to slow the spread of a virus.
Actually we DID. Tho' only for a little while. And the results were enormous. The B/Yamgata Influenza lineage appears to have gone extinct. The cool part is we weren't even trying to do anything with those specific efforts to affect influenza. All of which should encourage us to cooperate more.
Please give us more cool facts!
Doctor Ignaz Semmelweiss in the mid-1800s suggested that obstetricians should wash and sterilize their hands before attending their patients to reduce the chance of postpartum infection. He was rejected by the medical community, ridiculed by colleagues, and eventually locked in an asylum where he was killed.
We're sliding back in time.
People forget the most important bit. The clapback to Semmelweiss from other doctors was "A doctor's hands are always clean!"
Humans are irrational fucking idiots and we prove it daily. The number of us who are willing to protect our own in-group over things they don't deserve to be protected over is too damn high.
"A doctor's hands are always clean!"
That's when Semmelweiss should have rubbed dog shit on his hands and tried to rub them on these doctors' face.
That is far less cool.
But it's very interesting to think where we would be technologically and socially if humans weren't such assholes
Semmelweiss is also partially responsible for the widespread rejection of his findings. He basically called doctors who did not follow his advice murderers which naturally didn't help his popularity. Antagonising someone who you are trying to convince usually just entrenches their opinions further.
As a child, once I learned to read, I started to really learn. And naturally shared all the fun facts with most anyone who would listen. I thought I would write a book of fun facts, but then someone invented the Intarwebs. I even thought I would narrow things down and just write 'Bandana, 1001 Uses' , but there was no point.

Why the change of heart at tha last sentence?
LoL, not an English major. Edit...
We can’t even come together to wear a peice of cloth to slow the spread of a virus.
No one washes their hands — Increased infection rates.
Research doctors don't work — Reduced cure research speed.
Sick people given hugs — Infectivity increased once spotted.

The cloth does nothing to stop the virus but also completely cuts off oxygen to your brain.
No I will not explain. It's your job to educate yourself by watching more Jordan Peterson videos.
I know it's stupid but /s really should be mandatory if you arennot serious. Because there are too many prople that are

Poe's law strikes again
TIL
Cameron Poe?
Goddamnit, stop making me click the downvote button twice!
Just stopping by to say that I understood the obvious sarcasm/joke
Sir, I'm trying to survive a pandemic not learn how to be a lobster.
Don't make me tap the sign...
I hope you're a troll. That's just next level stupidity to be real.
The second sentence tells me troll/sarcasm. But there are people who unironically believe that
And yet it is...
Did you get the special chloroform-infused masks? I hear they're the only ones that do the job properly.
