meth. Instead of everyone putting in money and the first to get COVID gets the money, they're just gonna go straight to meth and pills

But Georgia's Covid cases haven't surged! Yeah. https://www.11alive.com/article/new...-2020/85-abf6fd19-6553-4a70-a5cd-b38f57fd4e2f
Wendy’s whole “fresh never frozen” thing might become a major issue as there become growing issues with the processing plants. Imagine both food costs and availability of meat that isn’t frozen is gonna create some logistical nightmares
Austin bar owners protest at Capitol chanting “bar lives matter” I get that you want to stay open in order to make a living, feed your family and those who you employee, but dude... the slogan. That’s a comically poor choice
Yes, they are totally the first organization to capitalize on a culturally popular slogan, adjust it slightly, and claim it as their own.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/02/azar-swing-states-trump-347830 I can confirm a LOT of political decisions are being made with PPE and which states get what support....which begs the question: if it was fine for them to make their own decisions back in May and they went against the WH and CDC guidance...why are we now swooping into the rescue? I wonder if we swoop in with the same speed and vigor if it was Michigan or Vermont? This will result in people getting sick and dying because of party politics, that was completely avoidable. Also, excess death estimate of 122,000: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2767980 "Results There were approximately 781 000 total deaths in the United States from March 1 to May 30, 2020, representing 122 300 (95% prediction interval, 116 800-127 000) more deaths than would typically be expected at that time of year. There were 95 235 reported deaths officially attributed to COVID-19 from March 1 to May 30, 2020. The number of excess all-cause deaths was 28% higher than the official tally of COVID-19–reported deaths during that period. In several states, these deaths occurred before increases in the availability of COVID-19 diagnostic tests and were not counted in official COVID-19 death records. There was substantial variability between states in the difference between official COVID-19 deaths and the estimated burden of excess deaths." I haven't pinged my nerds on this in a while, but pick a percentage of those excess deaths: 70%, 40%, 20% and apply it to the COVID total. It's worse than we're seeing, and we're not trending in the right direction in terms of improving the data quality. For that matter, we could be at over 200k already. The next phase of this is going to have LESS transparency than the first few months did, and that's terrifying. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/01/coronavirus-reopening-347465 "I told you so is useless", and the people who are getting sick and dying now are victims here. My niece's father got it from a coworker, and he works in a print shop, where only 3 of them are in the whole building. He's not exactly health conscious, and he gets most of his medical advice from my mom (a retired nurse). It's not his fault, regardless of his usage of countermeasures. I have absolutely no sympathy for the decision-makers who put people at risk, flouting the guidance provided, and would giggle watching them a porta-potty emptied on their heads. People who suffer those consequences aren't stupid (I mean, Alabama is gonna Alabama, so there are exceptions), many of them simply don't have a choice. Putting it another way, what kind of asshole want's to be right about the apocalypse?
Especially when they post crap like this. https://twitter.com/THEHermanCain/status/1278444266881273856
I’ve been saying for years, people have to stop thinking that their opinions somehow magically trump science. Ot that their opinions matter. “But I think...”. WHO FUCKING CARES WHAT YOU THINK. “But I don’t see... “. THAT’S RIGHT YOU DON’T SO SHUT THE FUCK UP. “But I don’t understand...” JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO KNOW YOU ARE STUPID AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS NOT THE TRUTH. When the fuck did people think that they became the bastion of truth and understanding, and that if THEY didn’t get it then it was somehow untrue? We need to start telling stupid people to STFU more. I also hope they all get The COVID and fuck off out of the gene pool.
Only a few. I like to think that while we continue to hear the vocal minority that scream “see, I told you”, a larger part of the silent majority of The Stupid will die off or lose the worst game of I Told You So ever.
