It ****ing kills me and maybe literally because there really is an answer. Just stop giving the virus new vectors. That’s all. I know I’m a goddamn broken record but Jesus ****ing Christ.

Don’t give up your vigilance about avoiding it.

we have a failed educational system

The dysfunction I saw as a teacher was beyond belief. That’s another thread, though

A little optimism from the NYTimes

Quote:

But declining antibodies, as indicated by commercial tests, don’t necessarily mean declining immunity, several experts said.

“Whatever your level is today, if you get infected, your antibody titers are going to go way up,” said Dr. Michael Mina, an immunologist at Harvard University, referring to the levels of antibodies in the blood. “The virus will never even have a chance the second time around.”

A small number of people may not produce any antibodies to the coronavirus. But even then, they will have “cellular immunity,” which includes T cells that learn to identify and destroy the virus.

“This means that even if the antibody titer is low, those people who are previously infected may have a good enough T-cell response that can provide protection,” said Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist at Yale University.

Hope that’s right. That would be great news.

Two Senate Republicans are pushing to extend stimulus checks in the next coronavirus relief package to almost 2 million Americans who were excluded from the initial round.

Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) want to ensure that U.S. citizens married to foreign nationals without Social Security numbers receive the same $1,200 direct payments that tens of millions of other Americans received earlier this year.

Right on Ruby!

Greek democracy was very different from modern understanding anyway.

Thank you for that reminder from the Historical Accuracy Police

O'Brien's Covid-19 diagnosis is a near term health emergency. While others at the White House, including one of Donald Trump's personal valets, have tested positive in the past, O'Brien's exposure is particularly alarming based on the personnel that he should be regularly engaging with, not to mention the close quarters he operates in. The nature of how the White House is structured, alongside the demands of O'Brien's job, mean that critical US government personnel may have been exposed to the virus, including President Donald Trump himself.

CNN

Oh gee, I’m really alarmed members of the Trump administration are getting sick and might even die. Oh no.

Quote:

It's true that we don't know exactly when or how O'Brien was infected with the virus. He has reportedly said he believed he contracted it from his daughter, but because his ability to show up to work is so important to our national security it is unfathomable that he (and other senior officials) wouldn't take every safety measure possible to protect themselves and everyone they come into contact with.

oh ffs. **** you cnn
