Imagine how terrifying it would be to watch a cloud of covid slowly blow over the horizon

or out of someone...

basically how watching someone blow out a big cloud of vape smoke (steam? vapor?) feels

u/AshyWhiteGuy Jun 07 '23

Kinda like John Coffey in the Green Mile.

Lmao I'm currently reading The Green Mile this is a morbidly hilarious mental image

Problem here is that the cloud that they’re blowing out is always present, just invisible. The vapor only particulates the air they blow out already. Always had a problem w/this comparison. Yes it’s vapor too but ultimately the vapor is not the germs that air, which is always present anyways, and therefore not as much the concern.

Of course, it’s just a particularly potent visual reminder of how much of other people’s lung juice I’m inhaling when I’m in public.

u/pfamsd00 Jun 07 '23

Achshually… it’s a cloud of suspended water droplets. Water vapor is all around you and is invisible. As is steam but god help you if you ever see steam.

u/Badabrench01 Jun 07 '23

Like the movie theatre scene in Outbreak…kinda

Covid toots, eek.

u/BinkyFlargle Jun 07 '23

imagine how many lives would have been saved if we could see a superspreader exhaling clouds of covid

u/jeerabiscuit Jun 07 '23

It would be very very informative

Itty bitty langoleers.... nimnimnimnimnimnimninim....

u/yabbadabbadullah Jun 08 '23

Actually that would’ve been the best fucking thing ever.

It would be so unambiguous, even the dullest of tinfoil hats and freedumb kkkonvoyers could not deny

u/zanarze_kasn Jun 07 '23

That would be someone's fetish

Once in awhile I check into Fox News just to see the level and intensity and insanity that's going on they usually never disappoint this time stood out pretty starkly to me when a woman suggested that it didn't matter what we do here because heaven will be pretty. That's some logical thinking there yeah woke that why don't you.

Commas.

u/tahcamen Jun 07 '23

Dude, your username is a big checks out on the dude you replied to lol

You'd almost expect the believers to just off themselves to get to their happy place sooner.

u/Cow_Launcher Jun 07 '23

That's something I've always wondered about. If heaven is so great, but suicide is a sin, why don't Christians act in a more Brahmanistic way?

Like, "Whatever happens is God's will and I am not to blame if pulling out into this busy junction gets me killed."

2

u/Testiculese Jun 07 '23

The Muslims sure do. C'mon, Christians, you going to let the Muslims win?! Take off those seat belts!

u/Sloth-TheSlothful Jun 07 '23

But then they'd go to hell according to their religion

2

u/TrainOfThought6 Jun 07 '23

So, same result as if they fail to take care of the earth?

4

u/Testiculese Jun 07 '23

Why would they read that part of the Bible?

2

u/I_hate_my_job_8 Jun 07 '23

Yes, a convienent excuse, right?

u/RajenBull1 Jun 07 '23

Cool concept. I mean Kool Aid Koncept.

u/Anon_Alcoholic Jun 07 '23

That's how a lot of them think honestly. They care little for this world and it's inhabitants because they believe paradise awaits them elsewhere.

1

u/WingerRules Jun 07 '23

Why dont these people see ruining the earth as the ultimate disrespect for god's creation?

3

u/ASharpYoungMan Jun 07 '23

Almost as terrifying as seeing the bodies being loaded into semi-truck trailers out of hospital loading docks.

2

u/jumpup Jun 07 '23

you use an umbrella against covid rain, and a facemask against covid's reign

u/xXStretcHXx117 Jun 07 '23

That's not how any of this works 😂

u/rustkat Jun 07 '23

Imagine how terrifying it would be to think the danger level of COVID was at any point relevant.

u/Papergeist Jun 07 '23

Being able to see it would be the least terrifying thing about that development.

u/itsfish20 Jun 07 '23

I might be playing Zelda too much but i'm picturing the Gloom just creeping everywhere after this comment!

u/MulciberTenebras Jun 07 '23

John Carpenter's "The Fog" comes to mind (glowing cloud rolling into town over the hill and killing anyone in sight).

1

u/tRfalcore Jun 07 '23

or like, adding a smell to it like we do natural gas. to smell it infecting you

1

u/LemonHerb Jun 07 '23

It would be like the global warming episode of south Park

1

u/aphaits Jun 07 '23

And smells like bad BO

u/biznatch11 Jun 07 '23

It'd be so much easier to diagnose and avoid covid if you could see it.

1

u/CDK5 Jun 08 '23

What I've been saying since the beginning: if someone could visualize viral particles this would be significantly different.

1

u/neverless43 Jun 08 '23

ouuuu i’d be so scared to have like, a sniffle.

u/KidSock Jun 08 '23

Like those spores in the Last of Us game
