Well, I'm still going to tell you... was looking for a pic that conveyed all the faux patriotism crap Republicans spew when they pat themselves on the back for "defending the Constitution," so I did a search for "circle jerk" with "safe search" on.

Most of the pics that came up were for the Circle Jerks.

The Confederate flag in the background was just *chef's kiss*

funny...I didn't even notice what they were doing. I just thought it was a bunch of losers with a confederate flag in the background.

I didn?t notice what they were doing either. What occurred to me was they aren?t ?dressed to impress? the way I would think Republicans of that age would be dressed.

That idea - that young Republicans are wealthy, sharp dressed, yuppies, while Democrats are either the working guy in the satin Teamsters Local 4321 and trucker hat, or the hippie chick in a flower dress... that was out-of-date by the 2000's man.

I think Democrat activists are also pretty well dressed; I?m not saying they aren?t.

Activists in both parties tend to dress to impress.

Young Republicans are by definition activists.

A hippie chick in a flower dress probably isn?t even a registered voter.

A union activist might dress a little more casually than a college educated activist.

Depends if the republican household practices trickle down economics. Then the parents will be well dressed...everything else in the house gets scraps.
 
DeSantis won't enforce Biden's health-care worker mandate

Florida Man seems like a dumber version of Ted Cruz.

Yeah.

What states have gained Congressional seats again?

I guess people are leaving states like New York and California because they want to go to Texas and Florida to die.

Oh, hey this is a fun fact?here in Cali unvaccinated, uninfected (probably because they acquired natural immunity at some time before the vacc was available caring for Covid patients along the way) health care workers who have been fired are being replaced by vaccinated health care worker who are literally actively sick with the Covid, to literally expose their illness to patients - because there?s no one else to do it- all the uninfected, unvaccinated worker have been fired!

Damn, that Ted Cruz and Ron DiSantis are so fucking dumb!

EDIT: Anybody trying to pitch this in Hollywood as a contagion horror script would literally be thrown out of a 17th story window.

EDIT 2: Now, everyone should take the article linked to with a grain of salt?after all, it was published in the ultra-conservative, Trump exalting, Oath Keeper/Proud Boy apologist Los Angeles Times, so far to the right it makes InfoWars read like Pravda.

EDIT 3: You can call Ron DiSantis and Ted Cruz dumb until the cows come home for as long as you want to. You can also say the ocean is pink and the moon is made of cheese.

Correct me if I?m wrong, but to my understanding, neither Florida nor Texas is calling on healthcare workers actively sick with the Covid to stay on the job to care for patients.

We are living within a live episode of the twilight zone
 
Debunking the idea viruses always evolve to become less virulent. ABC News.

I know it's not a youtube video of a grown man mocking this wacky coronavirus thing in a silly voice, and I've been as critical of corporate media as anyone, but it's written by an actual doctor, and I've seen the operative point repeated elsewhere:
Some variants, however, have clear "advantages to continued survival, such as those that evade the immune system and spread easily," said Dr. Abir Hussein, associate medical director for infection presentation and control at University of Washington Medical Center.
The ability to spread rapidly is what determines which variants will become dominant, NOT less severe variants. As long as a viral variant can spread before it kills you, the fact that it kills you doesn't factor into the calculus.
 
Nobody ever said always, rather typically and generally most of the time, there are always exceptions and outliers

What tigermud just said - I think #1575.

Also what you linked to provides 0 data supporting the claim that more infections of the less deadly variant = more deaths. The reported data is showing otherwise - tomdalton22 has provided numbers and percentages similar to what I?m hearing reported.

what the hell? the article I linked to has nothing to do with death rates or data.

It just points out that the data supporting the idea that viruses often evolve to be less deadly, less virulent, or less severe (whatever you want to claim) is not there. it doesn't exist.

the whole idea viruses get less virulent, or even less virulent most of the time, is based entirely on a theory put forward by a doctor in the 19th century, which itself wasn't backed by any data.

The article says exactly what I posted that it says.


There is a picture of the virus that looks kind of blue? Some verbiage in between, and then there?s a picture of the virus that looks kind of brown. Right above the kind of brown picture there is a sentence that begins ?experts say??. and it goes on to literally say that while Omicron appears to be less deadly, because of the contagiousness it will result in more deaths, providing 0 data to support that claim.
 
Wishful thinking if you think hundreds of millions of people getting a virus in the next 30 days will equate to mutations that are less deadly than omicron. Literally all the next virus has to do is be as contagious as omicron but infect the lower lungs again... and poof.... more deaths.
