About

Hubby Started Running Fever. I Have The Paste is a quote from a post in an apparent Ivermectin COVID treatment Facebook group which spread on Twitter due to what users described as its surreal quality. The post was parodied in numerous tweets celebrating its oddity.

Origin

On August 31st, 2021, Twitter user @ItsPhetz[1] posted a screenshot from Facebook from a woman who said, "Hubby started running fever. I have the paste. He weights about 250. I have seen the lists. However i need someone ot break it down for me in kindergarten terms" [sic]. While the location of the post is unclear, it is likely that the woman was talking about Ivermectin, a deworming medication for horses, which comes in paste form, that has been controversially used to treat COVID symptoms despite being recommended against by the CDC. @ItsPhetz quoted "Hubby started running fever. I have the paste" in their tweet, gaining over 2,500 retweets and 34,000 likes in less than 24 hours (shown below).



Spread

In the replies to the post, users remarked on the surreal nature of the sentences. @ItsPhetz[2] replied, "idk if I'm laughing at this so much as the first two sentences just critted my brain with how surreal they are." User @papapishu[3] wrote, "The first two sentences take the cake but โ€œin Kindergarten Termsโ€ really adds so much volume and complexity." Users started joking about the tweet in the replies as well. Some made jokes riffing on how "I have the paste" is reminiscent of fast-food chain Arby's slogan, "We have the meats." User @RedPubDefendr[4] posted a picture of Arby's "Horsey Sauce," saying, "I have the paste for my sick family. Please someone help" and gaining over 200 retweets and 3,000 likes (shown below, left). User @NickZoic[5] posted a This Is Just To Say parody, gaining over 140 retweets and 1,400 likes (shown below, right)

The post inspired some jokes outside the original thread, though these were not as popular as the replies to the original post as of the day after it was first posted. Some include an In This House parody posted by @danchovy[6] (shown below, left) and a post by @orin_hpg[7] comparing the post to the opening monologue to "Dead Flag Blues" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (shown below, right).

I'll break it down in kindergarten terms. Throw the paste in the bin, give him plenty to drink, plenty of rest, make him soft, easy to consume food like chicken soup, and get him his choice of cough syrup and/or lozenges.

It might not be "just the flu" in terms of contagion or severity, but flu like symptoms are flu like symptoms and you treat them the same as with any other flu-like illness, since symptoms are really all you can treat as there is no cure.
