I guess a US controlled by aliens would be be even more dangerous to the rest of the world despite its flower power than the US controlled by humans(?) has been.

Want to defeat covid-19 in America? Simple. Complete national shutdown, starting immediately. Except for essential workers, no exceptions. How many more thousands must die before we realize this simple fact?
Please don’t stop me if you’ve already read my song parody somewhere or other before, but it’s about as relevant now as when I wrote the dang thing! [with insincere apologies to Cole Porter]
And just like that, with the wave of a pen, those who study viruses and MCTs of mask wearing are dismissed as dolts. Time to line up with sleeves rolled up, Ruben. Bill Gates has something special waiting for you. Safety schmafety, it’s the only way we’ll return to “normal.”

Not just Americans, they are everywhere. Only, most places they are not encouraged anywhere near as much.

Man, the Americans in this alternate universe are dumb!
Thankfully, not so dumb in this one.

Well, thank God for the Germans, 100% of whom happily embraced the necessity of masks.

China wants Americans to have flowers. That is why they are sending them free seeds in the mail.

To sightly paraphrase e.e.cummings:
America i love you because
when you’re hard up you pawn your
intelligence to buy a vote and when
you’re flush pride keeps
you from the pawn shop and
because you are continually committing
atrocities but more
especially in your own white house

Clorox your COVID
Start bleaching it now
Clorox your COVID
And your innards you will wow!
If you’re having bad luck with infection
Give yourself a quick Lysol injection
If you get no results from your bleach sprays
Try an enormous dose of UV rays
If COVID continues to harry ya
Try a drug that is meant for malaria!
Clorox your COVID
And you’ll drop like the Dow!

So, for all the Americans killed by the alien attacks, would it be bad form to send flowers?
(What about cauliflower?)
