[LisaL]

1. Stop it!

[FakeNoose]

72. Sadly, DU has lost its collective sense of humor

[marble falls]

76. Whatever happened to reading comprehension? ITOLDUSO-19 right in the headline!

[lapucelle]

87. The current headline includes an edit. Here's the original headline.

[oldsoftie]

89. THAT one wouldve pissed me off

[Piasladic]

77. Perhaps you misunderstand how scared some of us are.

Jokes about Fauci being ill is just not funny.

[paleotn]

90. HA!!

[steve2470]

2. jesus this scared me lol nt

[still_one]

3. Sorry but this isn't funny. A big unrec

[Tribetime]

7. I agree

[Arkansas Granny]

15. I agree. Not funny st all.

[obamanut2012]

20. Agreed, not funny at all

[steve2470]

28. yes, it is not funny, it genuinely scared me for a second nt

[SMC22307]

44. Agreed. Don't infect DU with Twitter bullshit. (n/t)

[pazzyanne]

57. After restarting my heart, also an unrec here. nt

[Delmette2.0]

60. I'm still catching my breath.

Do not scare us like that.

[Captain Stern]

4. You got me. Well done. n/t

[Demovictory9]

6. You scared me!

[Meowmee]

8. Delete, not funny

[BumRushDaShow]

9. ...

[Hugin]

10. One of the earliest symptoms of this affliction is eye pain.

From rolling them constantly.

Also, bruising and redness of the forehead from all of the vigorous face-palming.

[sarge43]

45. Acute phase: Cracked ribs caused by maniacal laughter. n/t

[Hugin]

53. Ouch!

We know there's only one cure.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

71. Also watch for walls with forehead shaped dents...

🤣. Laughing maniacally...it’s that or run through a plate glass window!

[In_The_Wind]

11. Me 2.

There! Take a bit of my IToldYouSo.

[progressive nobody]

12. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[USALiberal]

13. Not Funny! Self Delete! nt

[Chichiri]

14. Oh ffs don't do that.

[highplainsdem]

16. Please don't scare people this way.

[JI7]

18. You don't have to delete but just change your subject line.

so people don't get a heart attack.

[Hugin]

25. Yeah, add the diagnosis.

It would still be funny and not as alarming.

[Native]

19. We have enough to be worried about - NOTHING REMOTELY FUNNY ABOUT THIS!

[dchill]

21. Not funny.

[lamp_shade]

23. Please delete. Not funny at all.

[Fiendish Thingy]

24. Delete your post- someone has already made another post claiming Fauci has COVID because of this nt

[cwydro]

31. Then that person was kind of foolish, eh?

So many people really do believe everything they read lol.

[Claustrum]

36. More like they read the title and freak out without reading the whole post

[cwydro]

37. I know, it's silly.

People want to be the first to break news to badly...seen it here many, many times.

[JI7]

38. The title claimed Fauci tested positive

[cwydro]

68. And then a millisecond later, you click and learn it's not true.

[cwydro]

26. Got me!

I can’t believe people are giving you a hard time lol.

[LisaL]

29. Look at the rest of the freaking board.

Now we have people starting OPs because they are scared Dr. Fauci got covid.
And get a freaking clue.

[cwydro]

34. Then they're not being very smart, are they.

Seems they’re the ones who need a clue.

One person seems to be enjoying propagating this for a reason.

[JI7]

39. It has nothing to do with being smart.

[cwydro]

66. Lol, I'll agree with you there!

Gullible folks are everywhere.

[Iggo]

85. Yep.

[GulfCoast66]

86. No. It has everything with taking the time to read 8 simple words.

I found it funny.

[cwydro]

88. Thank you.

People seem rather sensitive this morning.

I saw the OP and almost hollered out to tell my friend, but something made me click first. And voila! Really was pretty easy. I found it funny that I was fooled for that quick second.

[USALiberal]

41. Nope, but nice try! nt

[LisaL]

27. This should be deleted ASAP.

Some people don't read the full post and now they are freaking out.
You should be ashamed for spreading false information.
Shame on you!

[Claustrum]

30. This is how some fake news start

Some smart ass trying to be funny and people not reading fully and take it as real news and facts. Then spread the fake news around.....

Please self delete.

[Dem2]

32. I'm already having a lot of anxiety this morning

NOT COOL!

[helpisontheway]

33. Not funny! Please delete! Nt

[BlueStater]

35. That's not funny.

My mother just asked me why I exclaimed “Oh, no!” in my room.

Please don’t do this stuff. It’s juvenile.

[Dennis Donovan]

40. Thank you for changing the subject line!

Rec'd

[sl8]

96. Thank you for marking the approximate time the title was updated.

A lot of people are still complaining about the OP, even with the updated title.

[SMC22307]

42. Not funny. I'd expect better from DU. (n/t)

[Dennis Donovan]

47. Do you think Itolduso-19 is a real illness?

[SMC22307]

51. Infecting DU with Twitter bullshit is... and I'm not in the minority on this one. (n/t)

[marble falls]

73. All the premature Trump gravedancing going on here and this joke bothers people????

[SMC22307]

80. You're comparing apples to oranges.

Trump could drop dead this second and I wouldn't care; Dr. Fauci I care about.

[Bengus81]

43. Is anyone here an Admin that can delete all these BS Fauci posts?

[Rebl2]

46. You should

delete this. Not funny.

[TheBlackAdder]

48. Could be interpreted that Fauci told others to watch out -or- others told Fauci he was wrong.

.

When I go to the twitter feed, most of the people think it was the second,
that the tweet implies that Fauci was incorrect and had to be told so.

.

[njhoneybadger]

49. Good one

[packman]

50. I admit it got me -

Kinda funny, but it is true this is how rumors/conspiracies start. I imagine Fox is going to pick this up with a segment "See, masks don't work"

[malaise]

52. Now that you've fixed the subject

it is hilarious

[WhiskeyGrinder]

54. This place is amazing sometimes.

[niyad]

55. My heart stopped!

[Hugin]

59. 10cc of epinephrine! Glucose drip! Clear! Code blue! STAT!

Of course, I don't know what any of that means, but, they always used to yell those things on "Emergency!"

It seemed to help.

[niyad]

62. Ahhhhh, thank you! Doing much better now. Thank goodness you watch that program.

[Hugin]

65. Bed rest. Drink plenty of fluids. Store in cool dry place.

"Marcus Welby M.D."

James Brolin always knew what to do.

[niyad]

67. Yes, he did. Still does. I do have the fluids thing down, at least. My wine merchant loves me.

[JGug1]

56. dr. Fauci

Is that confirmed? I read elsewhere that he had NOT tested positive for COVID-19.

[still_one]

58. It is a misleading thread title to alarm people. It is very poor taste. Dr. Fauci is fine

[niyad]

63. The thread title has been amended. But the tweet did say "itoldyouso19"

[bdamomma]

61. Not funny

going to trash thread.

[secondwind]

64. Trash this Thread works for me........

every time! Bye 👋

[mountain grammy]

69. I love Judy Gold.

[grantcart]

70. Edited title is funny

[Chemisse]

81. Ohhhh. I see the original title was 'Dr. Anthony tests positive.'

Yeah that's not funny. Many of us skim the titles of the threads and never click in.

[Highway61]

74. Delete

Not funny

[Stallion]

75. Oh No! You Seem to Have Upset the Humor Police

come on-this is hilarious and that's why it has so many likes.

[Illumination]

78. Trumpocalypse, Seems the general consensus is that DU members don't appreciate this post...

[cwydro]

92. Got plenty of recs.

So many do.

[Chemisse]

79. That scared me for a second! Luckily I can read and soon realized it was a joke.

I am surprised at how many are upset by this post.

[reACTIONary]

82. I LOL'ed at the subject...

... before clicking the link. Good one, I enjoy a bit of humor!

[IronLionZion]

83. Got me. Damn it

[Jersey Devil]

84. Humor fail - not even remotely funny

delete please

[paleotn]

91. Fauci, for all his reputation and expertise...

he ain't fucking Jesus, people. Bad humor or bad taste? I agree with that. But as winter approaches, we damn sure better get steeled to the fact that a whole lot of folks we admire and care about could become infected. Like all highly communicable respiratory infections, cold weather is its season.

[BobTheSubgenius]

93. It's not the best joke I've ever heard or read, but...

...it's not exactly a cause celebre, either. SJW warriors at campuses across America also look for things to be aggrieved about.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

94. Trying to give me a heart attack, aren't you?

[EndlessWire]

95. LOL! n/t

[mahina]

97. Oh my God , my heart stopped. Reading that headline gave me a

adrenaline shot
