Now that it's not as easy to catch COVID as it used to be, we could install vending machines loaded with the virus. Pay your money, and inhale from a tube.

Let’s bring back blankets with small pox while we are at it
cabronfavarito@reddit
Ok but like…why
afungalmirror@reddit (OP)
Maybe if you're having trouble getting infected by conventional methods. Here's a cheap and conventient solution.
Socialism-Is-Better@reddit
I mean, you can already buy infectious bacteria online. It's just that it's incredibly expensive.
TheIronSoldier2@reddit
No, why do you want to be infected
MANvINFO@reddit
parents really used to get their kids in a room and then bring out the 1 child whod contracted the chicken pox.
AdOk8555@reddit
That was for diseases that people would effectively become immune to after one infection. E.g. chicken pox
TheIronSoldier2@reddit
As opposed to just not letting the child get infected in the first place?
wunderduck@reddit
Chicken pox is much worse if you get it as an adult.
AdOk8555@reddit
There was no vaccine until the 1990s. Chickenpox is highly infectious. It was more of a matter of "when" than "if" they would be infected.
TheIronSoldier2@reddit
It was still a matter of "if" before the vaccine.
AdOk8555@reddit
95% of people in the US contracted Chicken Pox before the vaccine.
Horse_HorsinAround@reddit
That's the crazy part I'm guessing
throwleavemealone@reddit
Get out of work free pass
davepage_mcr@reddit
Or just go to a gig, crowded restaurant or bar? Much easier.
Emotional_Zebra_518@reddit
It's called Crazy Ideas, not Dumb As Fuck Ideas
afungalmirror@reddit (OP)
What's the difference, really?
Emotional_Zebra_518@reddit
There's a difference between an idea that is "crazy" and an idea that is just plain stupid.
afungalmirror@reddit (OP)
Deal with it.
Emotional_Zebra_518@reddit
Oh, I am. It's still a stupid idea.
skarekroh@reddit
I know we're not supposed to use the r-word anymore, but...
afungalmirror@reddit (OP)
Revivification?
afungalmirror@reddit (OP)
Maybe if you're having trouble getting infected by conventional methods.
sadandtraumatized@reddit
No need! It’s very easy to catch covid, even easier now than before now that there are no enforced nation wide mask mandates etc. anywhere.
Scazitar@reddit
Why is this phrased like you think their should be lol?
sadandtraumatized@reddit
Lol, because the science shows masks work, and how covid is extemely harmful to our bodies espeically with repeated infections like we have now. Did you know around atleast 1/10 get long covid from each infection?
Scazitar@reddit
Homie you should talk to somebody. That's a pretty extreme amount of fear of getting sick over something that most of the planet has moved on from.
sadandtraumatized@reddit
Did I say I was scared?
I assume you don’t wear a seatbelt, helmet, use condoms, soap/handwashing either, then? It is about reducing risk.

Wendals87@reddit
So uhhh why would anyone want to catch the virus? It still sucks to have it
grptrt@reddit
Better than going to your aunt’s birthday party
ddollarsign@reddit
in fact getting sick is the perfect excuse to avoid going
jman350@reddit

Your marketing plan is just “go on Joe Rogan.”
