More State-run media propaganda.
The word ‘sick’ being used to describe something incredible isn’t along the lines of opposite meanings like in 1984. It’s in use by my generation, and just something simple like “sick car” would be “awesome car.” We don’t say “whip.”
A new restaurant opened by me a few years back and the girl at the convenient store nearby told me: “I hear they got some pretty slimy food over there!!” which I guess is a good thing.
