Has anyone else felt like crap since they popped that balloon?

Within a couple of hours after the pop I started getting a scratchy throat and a little cough.

It’s only gotten worse since then. Now I’m starting to get yellowing of the mucus.

I know it could be coincidental but I wanted to see if others were having balloon symptoms also.

This would be clever if the balloon weren't popped over the ocean with winds blowing away from everyone.

I got sick on Friday, and it's been pretty bad since then. I'm going to assume that balloon was dispersing stuff, and it somehow made it to me or infected someone who brought it down to Louisiana. Either way, it's the WuFlu. frick the ChiComs.

I've been itching because I'm allergic to the white powder in balloons.

Yes. And it's literally driving me insane. Like, driving alone with two N95 masks on insane.

I'm going to say that it is more likely to be related to cold/flu season than it is to the balloon.

I drank a coke last night and it tasted kind of funny. I don't know......could be coincidence.

I feel like crap this morning, but I ate half a king cake and drank eight beers.

I dunno man, maybe the Ballon. Who knows.

I certainly do.

I still can’t believe what our government did to that poor man

Sounds like the onset of Monkey Pox.

Yep, feel like I might have a cold coming on. Could possibly be because my snot-nosed 4yo niece blew a spit raspberry in my face while I was holding her a couple days ago.

Probably the balloon though

Had all the 'rona from China in it. Spreading it over populated areas, like Montana. Now it's in the water. THE WATER!

I took a chicken leg bone from a brown hen, tied it to a converse Tennis shoe string and wrapped it twice around my neck. Then I wiped possom fat between my toes and I feel fine.

Shame on you for not taking a few simple, well known precautions. You deniers really get to me sometimes.

Does it absolutely HAVE to be Converse? I only have Sketchers in my wardrobe currently. I'll trade you a 3 pound coffee can of extra possum fat I've been saving for one of your Converse tennis shoes if you have an extra one.
