    Our local Boys and Girls Club, who have been hosting students whose parents need to work during the day, just shut down for two weeks because of an outbreak. One of my students is waiting on his test results. 

    It was only a matter of time.

Facts are facts and I believe that counties that voted Team Trump Treason Tax Cheat have higher infection and positivity rates. But its because they're doing more testing. Sheesh, I can't wait for science and facts to be relevant again in the Executive Branch.

    As far as I’m concerned, those ass kissers are just doing it now to tank the economy to stick it to Biden. “Caring” now isn’t a get out of jail free card. Complicit trash, all of them.

    yup...
    You really want to know what privilege is? It’s being a local “leader” or governor and openly stating that you won’t abide by or enforce whatever covid response restrictions are communicated by your elected representatives and leaders. You know what else is privilege? Dismissing 240,000+ dead Americans because complicit assholes are still crying about their freedumb. What’s it going to take for repubs to wake the fuck up and get on board with the science? 400K dead by Christmas? A mil, mil and a half? Or oh well, everyone dies someday anyway? What a shit hole country.

    Pfizer directly contradicted him with a statement immediately.
    yes they did, but it won't matter. millions will still believe that:

    a) this is trump's win
    b) pfizer delayed the announcement until after the election on purpose to let biden win

    in today's day, a response is nothing but pissing in the wind. once the first incendiary claim is out there, that monster is invincible.
    I would agree with you on A. But the timing is too good for there not to be some truth behind B. It’s not like these things happen over night, they could have made the announcement a week earlier.Maybe it was more to spite Trump than help Biden, or to keep him from taking credit.  But the timing is too perfect to not be suspect.


    Maybe the board at Pfizer took a look at 135,000 cases a day and said * *

    Maybe the board at Pfizer took a look at deaths climbing to 1400 a day and said * * 

    Maybe the board at Pfizer took a look at refrigerated trucks being rushed to places like El Paso and Utah to store all the dead bodies and said * *

    Maybe the board at Pfizer took a look at all the lies and blatant disregard for public health that an idiotic 47% in this country approved of and said * *


    * * = use imagination.
    22% if you are talking total population, 31% if you are talking electorate and this is assuming all of those who voted for him also approved his handling of the pandemic. This “half of the country“ nonsense needs to stop, constantly spewing this on every issue is not a good look for either side. Same with saying all democrats or all republicans are "xyz". It is lazy and sending a dangerous message to those who are not yet wise enough to realize everything they read on the internet is not true. People can create change much faster than any government and right now I just see two factions taking every shot they can at each other thinking that they speak for the rest of us while doing it.

    Seeing the spike in cases and hospitalizations gets my ire. Plus, they think I’m a trump fan

    jared and trump heard that the virus was impacting blue states more than red states and decided to do nothing to try to contain it. so you can spare the lecture.

    https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/07/how-jared-kushners-secret-testing-plan-went-poof-into-thin-air

    "Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushner’s team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically. “The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy,” said the expert.

    That logic may have swayed Kushner. “It was very clear that Jared was ultimately the decision maker as to what [plan] was going to come out,” the expert said."

    got word today that some hospitals in mid missouri are shutting down elective surgeries due to too many inpatients with covid. 

    well done, govnah.
    How about the hospitals that are keeping staff to work even though they’ve tested positive! Unreal every single state in this country had increases in cases today every single state 🤢 
    Are you serious that staff are being permitted (or required) to work when still testing positive? What are the parameters for that? 
    yes. hospital workers that test positive can continue to work unless they have a fever or new symptoms. they are supposed to get their temperature checked several times throughout their shift when they have a known positive test.

    pretty fucked up, eh?

    Do they regularly test or just when they show symptoms?  Most are just required to test if they start to feel bad or have a fever, so there are plenty asymptomatic people with allergies sneezing it around like nobody’s business right now at most places of employment.  They aren’t getting tested because it’s “just allergies”, yet the public saturation with this virus is growing daily...exponentially.  I’ll definitely be dodging sneezers “like they have the plague (pun intended)” any way I can right now!

    IL is getting hit harder than at any point during the pandemic.  We have one of the most restrictive (Democrat) governors in the country.  I didn’t realize we became a red state.  Learned something new today.

    It’s not whether your governor is restrictive or not or whether it’s populace is red or blue but whether your populace listens to and abides by the science and what your restrictive governor advocates for. And last time I checked, and correct me if I’m wrong, outside of the major urban areas, Illinois is pretty red, yes? How does Illinois compare to the Shangra la of Indianer or ND and SD?

    You wanna know what privelege is? Seeing 1.3 million deaths to date and snarkily wondering aloud if more Trump voters caught it.
    How is that privilege?  That's not well-thought.  
    Trump voters are anti-mask and against any modifications to their routines and lives.  They are willfully driving the spread through their churches, bars, restaurants, and family gatherings while more open-minded (and intelligent) people to the left of Trump are trying to do what they can to mitigate spread and getting caught up in the rising numbers.
    The privilege exists on the right, where everyone is anti right up until someone they know dies or nearly dies.  That's where the privilege exists.

    got word today that some hospitals in mid missouri are shutting down elective surgeries due to too many inpatients with covid. 

    well done, govnah.
    How about the hospitals that are keeping staff to work even though they’ve tested positive! Unreal every single state in this country had increases in cases today every single state 🤢 
    Are you serious that staff are being permitted (or required) to work when still testing positive? What are the parameters for that? 
    yes. hospital workers that test positive can continue to work unless they have a fever or new symptoms. they are supposed to get their temperature checked several times throughout their shift when they have a known positive test.

    pretty fucked up, eh?
    What I read however is that they are working in Covid wards, so the folks they are treating already have Covid,
    Again not ideal, but at least they aren't treating other folks who they could pass the virus to. 
    This weekend we rock Portland
