In a social media video, the Nashville resident told her followers that she’s “aware that we’re supposed to be self-quarantining and social distancing” to “keep everyone safe” — but that she wasn’t worried.

“Cool. I get it. I just don’t think that I’m going to get the virus,” Tate said in the video.

But just days later, Tate found herself suffering from symptoms associated with the dangerous bug and tested positive.

“It feels like someone is sitting on my chest at all times,” she said. “It’s really hard to breathe. I’ve coughed until my throat has bled.”

Anew study from the University of Chicago’s Becker Friedman Institute for Economics found that “greater viewership of ‘Hannity’ relative to ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ was strongly associated with a greater number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the early stages of the pandemic.”

Georgia's unemployment fund is horrifically underfunded, plus they have dumb constitutional amendments blocking tax increases without a full-blown popular vote. The state hosed itself by pushing hard-right looney poo poo, and they don't have the money to stay closed. It's very similar to how Florida deliberately chose to have a garbage unemployment filing system.

Ice cream purchases actually do correlate with murder rates it's just not causal, they share a confounding variable (warm weather and longer daylight hours cause crime to increase).

I know that's why I said it. I don't think that there's a causal link between Hannity viewers and covid deaths, it's probably got more to do with them being some combination of old, diabetic, uneducated, poor, etc.

It may be convincing the president, but nobody else.

JUST GIVE ME ALL THE COVID, I WANT ALL THE COVID, VEGAS WILL TAKE ALL THE COVID AND BURY IT IN THE DESERT

Dr. Bright, who noted that his entire career had been spent in vaccine development both in and outside of government, has led BARDA since 2016.

In the statement, he said: “My professional background has prepared me for a moment like this — to confront and defeat a deadly virus that threatens Americans and people around the globe. To this point, I have led the government’s efforts to invest in the best science available to combat the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Unfortunately, this resulted in clashes with H.H.S. political leadership, including criticism for my proactive efforts to invest early into vaccines and supplies critical to saving American lives. I also resisted efforts to fund potentially dangerous drugs promoted by those with political connections,” he said.

Dr. Bright, who is a career official and not a political appointee, pointed specifically to the initial efforts to make chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine widely available before it was scientifically tested for efficacy with the coronavirus.

“Specifically, and contrary to misguided directives, I limited the broad use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, promoted by the administration as a panacea, but which clearly lack scientific merit,” he said.

Can you imagine President Biden negotiating a state bankruptcy bill with Mitch McConnell? Trump would seriously be friendlier to state government!

Though Biden requiring state legislatures sit through a class about how they should all stop buying Starbucks lattes or whatever the gently caress that requirement is would be darkly hilarious
