NDMA or MDMA? 'Cause maybe he shouldn’t be throwing it away.

Man, I thought the sketch last night with Brad Pitt as Fauci was pretty darn good in a vacuum, but I had completely forgotten that Fauci had previously joked that Pitt was his pick to play him in a movie about this saga. Realizing this was a very good end to the day, although I’m a bit sad I didn’t remember it at the time.

Hey guys, remember when SNL had Trump on as a host?
Like, everyone involved with this knew at the time that he was a rapist clown. The Billy Bush Entertainment Tonight tapes are proof of that. Everyone fucking knew. Trump trying to get the Central Park Five executed was public knowledge at the time in New York. Everyone in the industry knew Trump liked to walk in on changing rooms with teenage girls. No one gave a fuck. An entire studio audience is cheering him on, in a supposedly deep-blue state, people fucking love him.
All of the TV industry jizzmoppers are culpable for what we are now living through. They fucking made Trump the monster that he is. And now SNL has the gall to pretend it’s part of the #resistance with a cutting Brad Pitt sketch. Fuck off, SNL was ready to slurp Trump’s nutsack when it was convenient, when they thought he could bring in ratings. Seriously, stop watching SNL, stop watching Oprah, stop watching The View, stop watching Judge Judy. It feels like it’s just goofy silly entertainment, but it’s not. It’s a platform for fascism. SNL is not your ally. SNL fucking loves Trump and the ratings he brings in. SNL is salivating at the prospect of having Sean Spicer as a host. SNL would love to have Ivanka on as a guest host, and the studio audience will obediently clap for her. SNL is your enemy, stop watching that shit.

I wonder if @hobbes9324 talks to any of his colleagues if he can find out if there has been a spike in disinfectant based patients at his hospital.
Ok I guess I need to grind up 9 of the pills I bought and inject them. Good to know.
I wasn’t. I’m down to 5 omeprazole a week and am going to try moving down to 4. But I still have a bunch of prescription zantac lying around. As I recall it didn’t do much either.
I downloaded and installed the Australian Government’s COVID contact tracing app. The government’s target was for 1 million Australians to have installed the app within 5 days, we hit that number in 5 hours (currently at 1.89m installs). We’ll let you know what it’s like living under TYRANNY. So far: sunny, light winds.

Defenestrations are old school.
I’m pleased to announce that we are continuing to crush it here in South Australia. A couple weeks ago the government started a testing blitz where anyone with symptoms could go get tested. There was no perceptible increase in diagnoses at all from this.
New cases last two weeks: 9
New cases last five days: 0
Cumulative cases: 438
Active cases: 20 (2 in ICU)
Community transmissions of unknown source (all-time): 7
Deaths: 5
The population of the state is 1.68 million of whom 1.3 million live in Adelaide, if that helps with context.
The government is now planning to expand testing capability to test a random selection of people without any symptoms, so that we can make sure there aren’t hidden cases roaming around the community. We tested some 6,000 people over the last five days for no new cases, so it would be kind of surprising if it were out there undetected, but we want to be sure.
Right now the government is not considering relaxing restrictions, which aren’t that onerous in any case (you can have gatherings of up to 10 people and there are no firm rules about leaving the house). I’m expecting normality to begin returning sometime in June, although I think pubs will still be closed. I’m hoping travel restrictions are relaxed to WA and/or NT at some point, they’re the other areas of the country where temporary eradication looks like it could happen.

Yeah its disgusting. And when some of those fools get sick those very same nurses and doctors they call traitors or fake will save them.
Should at min be handing out tickets. Even my republican mayor started doing that when early on we had some of the college kids left over having parties.
So they literally used the boardroom suggestion meme as a playbook on this woman?

(CNN) You can catch it more than once.
The World Health Organization has warned against the idea that coronavirus immunity passports can provide a safe way out of lockdown.
Many countries were hoping to start issuing risk-free certificates to people who have had the disease, allowing them to return to work, travel and go about their business. The plan was based on the assumption that Covid-19 survivors develop immunity.
But yesterday the WHO said no evidence exists that people who have recovered from the disease and developed antibodies are protected from catching it again.
People really struggle with the distinction between “no evidence exists for it” and “it’s not true”, huh.

If they were protesting police killing minorities we would have seen tear gas and tanks on the streets in a few hours.

Random testing seems pointless to confirm eradication. You’d have to test everyone! Seems better to universally test anyone who’s at all sick. Other than that, awesome news.
Obviously coming up with a specific number of years is highly speculative but it would not be a surprise that it shortens lives by some appreciable amount of years.
That people that had serious cases and survived would have long term effects and premature deaths is expected, the chance that the low and non symptomatic cases will also have long term issues is scary as hell.
Hmm, unless my reading comprehension is bad (which it certainly might be), it sounds like they are saying that, factoring in that lots of people who get COVID-19 die, contracting the disease statistically shortens your life by x years (since some percentage of people who get it stop living immediately).
To me, that is a lot different than saying that someone who gets COVID-19 and then recovers will see THEIR lifespan shortened due to some sort of permanent damage that the disease causes and leaves behind.

I think the fear is there might be subterranean populations of like 20s-30s people at who almost exclusively see other 20s-30s people and circulate the virus asymptomatically, with just the occasional one showing up as an unknown transmission. One of the unfortunate side effects of lockdown is that you slow the exponential growth on both the micro and macro level. So reservoirs of infection can just smoulder along under the surface, waiting for oxygen.
Edit: I realised I said random testing, I didn’t actually mean random, it’ll be targeted at groups who are under-represented in testing.
