There should be a bot thread. Could draw traffic here if they track their social media.
Where’s the Civility?
The Central District Health Board of Health meeting Tuesday night to discuss and vote on a public health order dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic was adjourned shortly after it started because of the danger posed by protesters at the CDH office and at some board members’ places of residence.
Moments after a tearful Commissioner Diana Lachiondo left the virtual meeting to head to her house — where her son was home alone, and where anti-mask, anti-health-order protesters had reportedly gathered — CDH Director Russ Duke interrupted a doctor’s statements on the toll of the coronavirus to tell the board and people watching that Boise Mayor Lauren McLean and Boise Police Chief Ryan Lee had requested that the meeting be ended for safety reasons.
Dr. Ted Epperly, another board member, said protesters gathered at his house as well. He told the Statesman that about 15 people were outside his home, “beating garbage cans and flashing strobe lights through my windows. Two came up and knocked on my door during the meeting.”

I think there is a correlation in my office between the higher the number of cases / deaths the lower the mask use. It makes me feel super warm and fuzzy every single day.

Anyone read the WSJ editorial from the SD governor saying that their response to covid-19 was akshully good?
I’ve heard about these two fucking people like 5 different places today. Fuck the media so hard.
Excellent takedown. I did peak at my state stats today and the less populous high flyers have retreated somewhat. But many many other states are on the rise. As I fears the total numbers will soon be dominated again by the populous states but the fact that middle north section of the country was driving the math is pretty damning.
Maybe we should de deaths per electoral vote. Doesn’t matter how many die, those fuckers still get 3.
Never the less, her points are well within the Overton window and will resonate with 40-50% of the population.

Another thing to consider is most parts of the country have had very mild November-Decembers so far. So if there is a weather element to this that could help to keep the numbers down some. I have been hanging out on my patio in 60-70 degree weather pretty much the entire last month. That isn’t normal for December. It might explain why Oklahoma’s numbers, while elevated, haven’t gone off the charts yet even though precautions here are very lax.

On September 9th, North Dakota had only had 14k Covid cases and 157 deaths. 3 months later they have over 6 times as many cases and 7 times as many deaths ranking 1st per capita in cases and up to 6th per capita in deaths. They’re on a path to potentially catch the Northeast states that took the worst of it at the beginning in terms of deaths per capita.
I still watch some YouTube poker vlogs. That US casinos are open and that the games are good means poker won’t ever die. I believe in Canada, only Sask/Ab have had rooms open for a ~month since March.
But luckily people like u post that it’s fake news. My guy friends have a 20 person group chat. I entered their conversation about this half way through their hysteria and was able to correct them I know some of them will pass the sanity on, hopefully it’s enough.
Same in the south east. It’s been gorgeous and outdoor dining and drinking are still popular. Hopefully it will stay mild.

100% co-sign. While the specialty bits about exact molecules are beyond me, anaphylaxis being confused with stuff like a vasovagal syncope (not at all serious provided you don’t hit your head on the way down) is 100% in my wheelhouse
