Building a digital fallout shelter in a neat little cave given to me by a cool bug

The CDC always issues guidances saying that nobody has to worry about COVID-19 anymore. No need to mask. No need to vaccinate. Do whatever. But these guidances always come with this huge asterisk that says "Except for people with certain underlying health conditions." Most people don't know that they are considered by the CDC to have "certain underlying health conditions" that make COVID-19 a serious concern for them. There's more to fear than death. POTS, chronic nerve pain, and cardiovascular issues are common with infection. They're better than dying, but I don't think you want to get them if you don't already have them.

I got Bingo on this. In fact, I'm on here nine fucking times. Getting even one square makes the CDC consider you among the "highest risk groups." COVID-19 in the Northeastern United States is surging and already 33% high than last winter's peak, and rising. It's the second highest transmission has ever been nationwide. If you're not American, check your own local wastewater data. It's probably surging too.

Feel free to circulate this image without attribution to me. I'd love to see it show up in discord server meme channels.

in reply to @shel's post:

autism, adhd, etc being on here as well as the usual suspects is very interesting. i wish this wasnt about Everyone's Lives so i could be intrigued and learn fun virus facts instead of imperiled and sad

I had the same thought, so I looked into the actual papers they cited about that and it's very confusing. The literature review claims that a "conclusive and high risk" increase in hospitalization correlated with ADHD, but then later on it says that this conclusion was drawn on the basis of two studies and "both studies were found to have a moderate threat to internal validity".
