someone had a really good quote in the UK megathread from like last october, I can't for the life of me remember who or the exact wording but it was something along the lines of "therapy just gives you the correct amount of mental unwellness necessary to cope with the world as it currently exists" and I really wish I could find it again

I don't know but it's kind of a shame all the TikTok and K-Pop fans started bragging about trolling the first rally because it would've been funny if they were able to keep doing it all the way to the election without anyone cottoning on to what was happening.

I wonder how many paid actors are going to be sent to this one?

This woman not only tested positive again but she developed symptoms a second time. Doctors aren't sure if she just didn't develop antibodies during her initial infection or if she didn't clear the virus but the point is they really don't know at this point how long immunity lasts.

FR, also how much would someone need to pay a person to both go out to a large gathering during a pandemic AND go to a Trump rally on TV?

It's best to just avoid the reinfection topic for awhile until more science gets done.

There are still a lot of unknowns about this, and plenty of state actors are suppressing information for a variety of reasons.

But pretty much since the start of the outbreak anytime there is a hint or suggestion of this thing being even worse people will rappel out of the air vents shouting about how it's impossible. It's like they can go all the way to admit we are completely hosed, but that one last step for them is just too much for their mental health. Every article posted about reinfections are fake, a bad study, a bad test result, a wrong diagnosis, a flawed process.

I'm not saying there is concrete evidence of reinfections right now that is inarguable and provided for the entire world to see, just that the people arguing with the concept of reinfection aren't always doing it for rational science based reasons. So trying to argue all of the reasons why it's possible with someone who needs it to be impossible is just going to waste your time.

Today is my anniversary so I did what people do during a pandemic and completely forgot about it until 1pm today and made PB&J sandwiches for dinner while my husband is going to work until midnight. He joked about going out for dinner and we both laughed and laughed then watched people walk around outside without masks from our balcony like a zombie movie or something

On one hand, 'giving poor people money directly solves poverty' should be a lukewarm take at best

On the other hand, obscuring that fact has been the joint goal of both US political parties since their inceptions.

this has happened before and it's basically always turned out to be that they hadn't fully cleared the infection

this is exactly what im going to do when i get called back to my retail job in (probably) july.

i will literally not be within 10 feet of anyone not wearing a mask and i wont be providing any service to ANYONE closer than 6 ft.

if my employer doesnt like it, they can go ahead and fire me (they wont)

my wife goes back tomorrow and we're both FREAKING THE gently caress OUT as cases in CA spike to hell.

I know Trump isn’t the most politically savvy person ever, and I know the GOP doesn’t particularly care about poor people, but do you really think that the month before a presidential election is when they’re going to stick to their bootstraps and trickle-down mantras, when they could print money easily for a massive political win?

Every major GOP player is working around the clock to make sure Trump doesn't do that, even if it would be a instawin for the election.
