No matter what you win lose ragepiss.
The most likely scenario is that covid will become endemic and due to mutual selective evolutionary pressure over the course of several years, maybe decades, it will eventually become just another mild cold virus like the majority of other coronaviruses.

Humanity had a window of opportunity back in February or March to prevent this if we had all done full rear end lockdowns mass testing and contact tracing but we didn't so welp

If you scroll down to the Updates section they typically explain where those spikes come from. In this case Catalan had a 632 death backlog that was reported but not dated, so it was thrown on the pile, so to speak.

There's no evolutionary pressure on this to become any milder

"today the Spanish Ministry of Health reported an additional 56 deaths in the last 24 hours, however, the Catalan authorities reported an additional 632 deaths that had previously occurred and were not assigned to dates, meaning that the cumulative total for deaths increased by 688 deaths."

The IRS is very good and would be better if they weren't neutered by poo poo administration after poo poo administration and a Congress that has as it's sole bipartisan belief the conviction that the IRS is too powerful.

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.

have you seen a commercial in the last decade? it's all disease prevention or relief commercials for IBS or mesothelioma or wtf-ever the next disease they can give palliative care for while charging too much with side-effects in five point font, the idea that americans are ashamed of health problems is just dumb

You are a prime example of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing. Your post above on hepatitis/tb - neither has ever been “ubiquitous” in any population, let alone loving boomers lmfao. Do you even read what you type before you hit post?

I am going back to work in 2 weeks. They are allowing a max of 3 people at a time for my student population so I will get to teach one student a day face to face while the others students will continue distance learning. I am okay with this as long as the number of cases we have here remains low. When I let parents know the news they were delighted.

I had a born again buddy in AR (hey it's hard to find decent friends down there) who would bitch ENDLESSLY about how the irs took his dad's 'church'

it was a machine shop
six days a week he made his living milling and welding for local farmers
on sunday morning he'd put a circle of folding chairs out and 'preach' to his family and like three neighbors
this is how he justified not paying any taxes on his business

irs rolled up and sniped that poo poo and i heard no end of TYRANNY TALK

God i don't miss that dump

It's still tax evasion since it's technically Unrelated Business Taxable Income and so the 'church' would have to pay tax on the UBTI even if we assumed the 'church' itself wasn't a bullshit scam.

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.

Simply put they don't, you can trawl the mass of tweets and other trash for the same set of words present over and over again because that's pretty telltale, but it's not always that easy, it's not a problem though, they don't need to show results, they can compare their results to their own results and deduce they are better.

Just like the other great circlejerk: https://michaelkreil.github.io/openbots/

Basically saying bots is just a way to dismiss speech, of course here it's bad speech and likely even done by bots, sometimes, but don't go thinking any of that research is worth a penny, it's a post facto rationalization for what needs to be thought by some people.

Tbf to shovelbum going from “we’re all gonna die!” to “there’s nothing you can do, go outside and accept the virus” is a consistent pro-viral psyops message. Pretty sure they’re a sock puppet account for Coronavirus.
