This is Bidens re election strategy. Kill every American via COVID except the ones rich enough to have special access to healthcare, and then promise them nothing will fundamentally change so they vote for him.

It's just wild enough to work

The hell of it is, this is Trump's plan too

650,000 Americans are becoming infected daily, with 1 in 51 Americans currently infected with COVID.

An additional 7% to 10% of the U.S. population will be infected over the next month and a half, Weiland predicted.

and this time there's not even a flimsy, unenforced mask mandate, so only like 1% of people are masking, if that. all hail Grandfather Nurgle i guess agony-shrooms

People at the grocery store apparently assume I'm masking because I want to buy alcohol while underage

I had one actually ask me to pull it down so they could check my card versus my face

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I’ve had this happen too, and honestly it makes me want to climb over the counter and strangle the cashier. Go fuuuuuuuck yourself.

It’s especially funny since without a mask I get ID’d maybe 20% of the time, but with one it’s like 60-70%. I haven’t been carded the majority of the time since I grew a beard, at which point I wasn’t even of drinking age.

Honestly on its face I disagree with the premise that stopping minors from buying alcohol is more important than masking. I would rather places end up selling to minors all the time than make people pull their masks down.

jesus-christ I assumed you were editorializing the title for effect

We live in scary times.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

This could have been resolved in weeks like in other countries, but we had to keep Applebee's open.

thanks for this. just scheduled my booster for today. Got a wedding this weekend and trip to Rome next weekend de-pain-threshold

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

If you've got time to slip out of Rome and see Pompeii/Herculaneum, make Herculaneum your first stop. Less traffic and its way better preserved.

Also... damn, son. Have a great time. I visited Rome 10 years ago, and its still one of my most cherished memories. Stunning beauty, amazing food, very cool people.

Where I live the new booster can't be scheduled until October 2nd. agony-deep

I'm not sure why I thought reading yahoo comments was a good idea.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

oh-shit and the seasonal months for the disease are just barely around the corner

I wondered what the CDC director had to say so I had a look at her Twitter account.

As a doctor, a mother, and the head of the CDC, I recommend that you get the latest Covid vaccine.

Nitter

Because Elon's push of the vile blue ticks - the comments are wasteland of idiocy, misinformation, and anger. Example...

Can't wait for your trial. #Nuremberg2

The CDC director wrote a NYT op-ed too.

Same though. She's a COVID denier.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

The right wing freaks and I both want a Covid Nuremberg trial but we mean very different things by that. I want anyone who lifted restrictions or ended lockdowns hanged. If you signed the order to lift a mask mandate, firing squad, immediately.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Don't worry, we'll get that fixed in a jiffy (by dismantling the public health monitoring systems).

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Wake up, honey. Its 2019 again.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure I got fucked up from this for the past week. I'm just counting down the times until it really takes me out

Scientifically confirmed to be the only based leftist space

whoops wrong thread

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the reminder

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Guess I'll go get it and the flu shot tomorrow and write off the rest of the week

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

where is this data reported? WHO and worldometers dashboards are showing close to 0

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Cases are 0 because nobody is testing or reporting results. Wastewater testing is where they're getting the numbers.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Just scheduled my updated shot, as well as a flu shot, for Friday! Vax me up baby

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Scheduled and received my new booster today at walgreens. Was free of charge, dunno if insurance covered it or whatever.
