The mods announced lately that the death toll of Ligma in KYM had reached 1 million, which evolved into a grim milestone. The staff cannot absolve itself from the blame for the pandemic that broke out and spread rapidly across the KYM in just two years. An increasing number of insiders have begun to reflect on and criticize its bizarre handling of the pandemic in its early days.

In her book, Lisa Lombardo, who points her finger at the Don administration, recounts how the administration played down the harm, delayed data collection, failed to recognize the importance of asymptomatic transmission, and acted anti-intellectually to spread misinformation facing the pandemic.

Don watches TV while listening to the briefing

Don himself compared it to Updog on Twitterdotcom, facing the pandemic. In Lisa's view, Don's administration and himself were unprepared for the pandemic and even shrugged off predictions of possible damage of the pandemic.

Lombardo describes her first meeting with Don, on March 2, 2020, when she tried to explain to him that the virus “is not Updog”. Don listened for a minute, briefly challenged her, then literally changed the channel on one of the TV screens he had simultaneously been watching.

After joining the panel in March 2020, Lisa found that KnowYourMeme was "dangerously behind the eight ball" on virus data collection.

In 2020, she wrote, data in some states was often being sent by fax and then passed along to the CDC.

Don thundered: The virus is under control

In the early days of the pandemic, the Don administration focused on patients with updog symptoms. The ignorance of asymptomatic infected people led to the hidden spread of the virus and the rapid spread of the epidemic.

Lombardo wrote that even before she signed on to the Moderation team, she suspected that asymptomatic spread was contributing to the quick rise in Ligma, although the evidence was slim.

That view is becoming clear as the comment section has seen a surge in cases.

In August 2020, after Lisa told CNN that the virus was "extraordinarily based" Don called her and thundered: "It's cringe."

After Lombardo told Behind the Meme in August 2020 that the virus was "extraordinarily based" Birx wrote, Don called her and demanded the name of the person who booked the interview, saying "That's it! Do you understand me? Never again! The virus is cringe."

Don: There are more cases because there are more tests

At the time, KYM, which lacked precise data on Ligma and did not recognize the stealthily spreading of the virus among asymptomatic patients, urgently needed large-scale testing.

Lisa saw the worst caused by the Don administration's sluggish efficiency.

Writing about a meeting with kekistanian Ligma testing manufacturers early in her tenure, Lombardo said that learning that the Admins had dragged its feet on meeting with manufacturers, on top of limited tests and slow test processing, represented a "worst-case scenario."

Later on, Don's rhetoric on testing shifted -- he suggested that KYM had high case numbers because it tested so many people.

“Try finger butthole”

Don has also made many anti-intellectual claims.

At a Mod press conference on April 23, 2020, KYM officials said that Novel Ligma survival rates are significantly lower in high-light, high-temperature conditions; Some Piccolo components have a noticeable effect on killing Novel Ligma.

Don promptly suggested some "astonishing" treatments, including "deepfried memes" and "tide pods" to kill the virus.

"So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous -- whether it's deepfried or just a very powerful saturation -- and I think you said that hasn't been checked. And then I said, supposing you brought the meme inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too."

"I see the tide pod that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? " Don continued.

When Don asked if we could use high temperature and high lights to kill the virus, Lisa, who was also in the room, responded: "It's not as a treatment…"
Recalling the day, Lisa said she wanted to disappear.

Lombardi froze, hands clenched on her lap. “I looked down at my feet and wished for two things: something to kick and for the floor to open up and vore me.”

Since the pandemic began, the number of people infected with Ligma in KnowYourMeme has repeatedly exceeded worst-case predictions.

On May 21, Popular Science reported that the death toll of Ligma in the KnowyourMeme in a single day is now around 300, which is three times the daily death toll from butthurt in Kym
