    White, elected congresswoman advocates gun violence against strangers showing up on your front porch and some folks think the “criminals run the city.” Fuckin A mate, be afraid, very, very afraid.
    What does one have to do with the other? Get over it. What does she have to do with the constant shooting here in NYC?  I didn’t bring up anything to do with politics or race yet here you are in another thread quoting me and bringing up politics and race. Unreal. 
    the dudes unhinged....
    Whats unhinged is an elected member of Congress advocating that you shoot someone who knocks on your door to discuss reality and science. Freedumb.
    she is unhinged too
    Well, at least in my unhingedness, I don’t own any firearms so you don’t have to worry about getting shot ringing my doorbell.

    Preliminary information suggests that the covid infection rate has been extremely low within the Olympic "bubble" and that, by and large, the measures taken around quarantine, masking, and testing have been effective. No evidence at this point that cases have transferred from the "bubble" to the city's population. Those monitoring give partial credit to the high level of vaccination among athletes and crew, which apparently is around 70% - I would have thought it would be higher, actually.

    TOKYO, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Before the Olympics began, Japan had feared that the 2020 Games, with thousands of officials, media and athletes descending on Tokyo in the middle of a pandemic, might spread COVID-19, introduce new variants and overwhelm the medical system.

    But as the Games draw near their end, the infection numbers from inside the Olympic "bubble" - a set of venues, hotels and the media centre to which those coming for the Games had been mostly confined - tell a different story.

    Featuring more than 50,000 people, what amounted to possibly the largest global experiment of this kind since the pandemic began, appears to have largely worked, organisers and some scientists say, with only a sliver of those involved infected.

    "Before the Olympics, I thought people would come to Japan with many variants and Tokyo would be a melting pot of viruses and some new variant would emerge in Tokyo," Kei Sato, a senior researcher at the University of Tokyo said.

    "But there was no chance for the viruses to mutate."

    The main reason for the low number of infections was a vaccination rate of more than 70% among the Olympians, organisers and the news media, daily testing, social distancing and a bar on domestic and international spectators, organisers say.

    Incredible really. Glad they pulled it off so the athletes could have their moment.

    Ha.  There should be "American Obese" - which only be reached when 100 pounds overweight.  (We would still be world leaders in obesity.)

    ^ That always reminds me of the 10C being asked to make a large number of extra large sized t-shirts. I'm like- "why - are all your fans (bad word for obese)"?

    I don't know about you guys, but when shit hit the fan, I cranked Gigaton and peddled to the metal to keep my human growth hormone and spirits high.

    i am sorry for my harshness, but people got sick and some may have died because of this man's words. 

    may his story be a cautionary tale. but we all know it will not be.

    Instead of posting this on a thread or two over on The Porch, I'll say it here:

    You do not have a constitutional right to be a plague vector -- or a threat to others, period.  It's that simple.
     
    Have questions about the vaccine? Ask your doctor; check the CDC website. Don't listen to some random guy on Facebook.   Sheesh.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
