I can think of at least 4 things worst than a furry. But yes, let's focus on the furry aspect and not the action, great idea! You get a sticker!

So if I'm reading this thread right...

A dude went to fanfest with an illness that was probably the virus of doom and had the bright idea to admit this on the internet by making an entire comic about it, we now have a thread on the forums about said Twitter comic where Vel is being their usual 'old man shouts at cloud' self, which sparked a small discussion over the Voldemort virus, and worst than all else, the original dude was a furry. What a world we live in...

This is a wholesome comic about someone getting sick at Fanfest and accidentally spreading COVID. The community reception has been very positive and I love this cute comic >w< ~

Who cares my age range the death rate for contracting COVID was less than 0.5%, even lower if you factor in people without pre-existing respiratory illness. Shit might suck but it happens and going to a big event like that you should expect it. It's why if I'm going to events where I expect a ton of people I'll take a lil bit of DayQuil and make sure to drop no orange juice with my breakfast few days prior just for preventive measures in case a lil virus attacks me.

Like this comes as a surprise to anyone? Covid will be endemic forever. Like any virus, it cant be cured, cant be prevented. it will always be present in large gatherings regardless of where or when.

Thats what endemic means.

Im sorry he got sick but...its a part of life now like every other virus of its kind.

As someone who works on an ITU I just want to put an asterisk next to that and say that, yes, you can treat viral infections, and, yes, you can prevent them. Condoms and vaccinations for instance. The WHO declared Smallpox as eradicated after a big vaccination campaign, too, decades ago.

I know what you mean, though. You probably cannot completely get rid of it. You just lower the chances. Having little outburst like that in larger gatherings in just normal, I completely agree. Unless we go back to a lockdown, good luck preventing that stuff.

Just felt the need to chime in. After Covid and lots of people turning into self-certified virologist on social media it's hard not to as someone who actually deals with that stuff. lol

Unrelated to the topic but in a technical sense, that was SCH before they removed most of their dps spells lol

If someone with mild symptoms like his isn't entitled to paid sick leave, then he can go in whichever public places and private venues he has been invited to. The idea that he'd have to go to work but couldn't use his non refundable fan fest ticket is moronic. People who are immunocompromised have to take care of their own health and not go see live entertainment if it puts them at risk. This was a voluntary event with thousands of people which 100% also included asymptomatic carriers of several diseases. You don't go in a dog household or a place which allows dogs if you don't want allergens or dog hair on you.
