Lay people still can't use holy magic to turn crackers and wine into flesh and blood, so priests are still needed.

Also this is so stupid, there is literally precedent for this from the great mortality; back then if you couldn't give your final confession to a priest the pope decreed that you could give it to whoever was around. It's a special dispensation. Yeesh.

We took the kids to the ocean to go fishing/swim yesterday and the park we usually go to was slammed, probably busier than I've ever seen it. Signs posted said the limit was 75 people but it was easily 200.

Luckily we drove 5 miles down the coast and it was pretty empty and we were still able to take them swimming

Both MERS and the Black Death disappeared on their own. Going nihilist in either an unreasonably optimistic or unreasonably pessimistic direction is what leads to people giving up and getting infected, making it a self fulfilling prophecy. The truth is, no one knows what is going to happen, so it's important to take a long view on things and act from there, hopefully in a constructive manner.

The black death predates reliable records and MERS was both aggressively contained and too rapidly deadly to ever be a big thing.

MERS didn't "disappear on its own". Outbreaks reoccured in 2015 and 2018 and will reoccur again. You can pretty much only get MERS from direct contact with camels so it is not a threat on the level of Covid-19.

The black death was the most fatal pandemic in human history and killed 75-200 million. It did not "disappear on its own." Outbreaks of plague continued to reoccur in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Bubonic plague killed 170 people during an October 2017 outbreak in Madagascar. Outbreaks will reoccur again.

I'm curious: do you post misinformation because you're uninformed, or do you know its bullshit and post it anyway because you're trying to influence the conversation to go your way? This is simple wikipedia stuff.

Is there a simple-ish explanation of how they identify bots? And how they know that they are correct? I assume they tested their software using known real and bot accounts, and examined sensitivity and specificity.

the corporations only have this viewpoint because they could be open to lawsuits if people forced back to work get sick. once they get that sweet immunity it will be a free for all.
