  1. Not sure where the hell this goes. The streams are crossing between Covid FAFO and voter suppression:
  2. Because we've had almost the exact same conversations in the spring of 2021. And then there was Delta. And then Omicron. Maybe deaths will be dramatically lower in April, but no one has any idea either way, or whether there will be new variants. You'd think after wrongly declaring "Mission Accomplished" multiple times in the past, we might stop it. But we're a nation of 2 year olds.
  3. Well, given that the GOP is also using this to gut public education (cameras in the classroom, criminalizing being a school librarian, etc.), there's not going to be anything left.
  4. Are you 2? Whining about both being asked vaccine status during a pandemic that has already killed nearly a million Americans. And whining about being called "anitvax." The modern GOP is just a whiny 2 year old having a temper tantrum and crying because people are such big meanies.
  5. Someone should tell health care workers and cancer patients this. So basically, you're saying Covid is over because we're in a country of raging assholes who can't even put a fucking mask on to go to the grocery store, like that's some huge imposition. 2700 more people died yesterday in the US, on top of the over 900k that died in the last 2 years from Covid. But it's over because we say so. This is all I hear when the right wing talks nowadays:
  6. Yup. That was my favorite program to watch. And best music choice of the night.
  7. True. But no idea what this has to do with Pelosi. Section 18 of the US Code is criminal. Until the DOJ goes after him and he's convicted this is meaningless. Unless Pelosi wants to start a third impeachment proceeding.
  8. Their sycophants are. Their leaders, however, are lying. Kari Lake's surely vaccinated and doesn't have the first clue what Ivermectin is.
  9. I'm Jewish. And I've had many of those conversations--both about protecting myself here and an exit plan. Edit to clarify: And that's an exit plan from the US. I've already left Texas. And when my employer wanted me to move back to Texas, I said no. Because I had enough issues with people telling me I was going to burn in hell in the 90s in Texas. No way was I heading back there with the shit that's going on currently.
  10. Also, who on here is advocating for lockdowns now or in the future? Other than imaginary California libtard boogeymen.
  11. That's also a meaningless number. Hell, I agree we should "get on with our lives," whatever that means. I also think people should wear masks indoors when possible and get vaccinated. And that doing those things also increases the ability to "get on with our lives." Why the natural immunity crew conflates "getting on with our lives," with being selfish assholes who won't do the bare minimum shit that doesn't impact your life, such as getting a jab or wearing mask in the supermarket, is a confusing mystery....
  12. Our national priorities are so incredibly fucked up.
  13. Yeah, because they've shown that they're going to follow the Constitution. The rule of law only applies to the libs.
  14. I'm not arguing for anything, other than when it comes to policy decisions on who should be vaccinated and whether vaccination should be mandatory, I want to hear what the scientists are going to recommend, and not some random person named after a Miami Vice character on a message board filled with assholes.
  15. Ok. So you're speculating based on something the CDC said about Delta. Especially since we know how vaccination interplays with Omicron is different than Delta. But, okay, then.
  16. The CDC said prior infection provides protection against Omicron? Edit to add: No.  They did not. People who had previously been infected with COVID-19 were better protected against the Delta variant than those who were vaccinated alone, suggesting that natural immunity was a more potent shield than vaccines against that variant, California and New York health officials reported on Wednesday. Protection against Delta was highest, however, among people who were both vaccinated and had survived a previous COVID infection, and lowest among those who had never been infected or vaccinated, the study found. Nevertheless, vaccination remains the safest strategy against COVID-19, according to the report published in U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The results do not apply to the Omicron variant of the virus, which now accounts for 99.5% of COVID-19 cases in the United States. "The evidence in this report does not change our vaccination recommendations," Dr. Ben Silk of the CDC and one of the study's authors told a media briefing.
