Let's consider the possibilities:

a) All these politicians managed to avoid getting it despite travelling and interacting with many different people

b) the politicians DID get it but have a secret treatment available to them, unknown to anyone else

c) the politicians did get it and managed to be fine because they are in good health generally

"c" seems most likely to me personally

The Vitamin D deficiency theory seems plausible, and lol enough that millions of us are going to die because we didn't invest $10 in a Nature's Bounty bottle

I mean most people who get this are okay, a sizable minority which sums up to a buttload of people are not.

This—-it’s just colossal pressure from family. We had a baby 3/8 that no one has seen, there’s a family wedding late June, and both our families are redneck right wing idiots. Until it affects them personally and unambiguously they won’t understand. My wife’s mom, mom’s parents (in their 70s), and aunt+uncle are flying down to FL next weekend to go to Clearwater Beach. WHY?!?! I want to scream.

To answer the previous poster, no, none of that data matters to these people and it‘s a lot of pressure on us when everyone in your personal and professional life (except my close friends) are treating you like you’re a stupid child for not wanting a stroke or a few weeks in the ICU or your 11-week-old to suffer respiratory failure.

think of it this way: odds are this will be the last time you deal with their pressure.

They've been getting tested, at least occasionally. If a bunch of Republicans were positive, they'd be screaming from the rooftops about how it's fine and they're fine and just open er up.

Most likely answer is that they haven't caught it because a lot of them are scared and avoiding the highest risk situations.

I think the earliest studies that started were BCG, and there's 3-month ones that will be done by the end of June with preliminary data released soon after (twoday correct me if I'm wrong)

Nicotine trial started a ways after that

So if it's *not* transmitted through surfaces, can the Congressional Candy Desk theory be thrown out, and we can assume whoever was in that area just breathed and left the virus aerosolized for the next person who came for candy to inhale?

It's really dumb how people keep wondering how come x or y group doesn't have a huge outbreak tbh

The reason we don't have huge outbreaks is that we were locked down for like two months. It's really clear at this point that you need to have the right conditions (you know, like big public gatherings) for superspreader events to really kick-off. Congress isn't overrun with this because they've clearly been taking precautions and Republicans are loving hypocrites who are happy to tell people to sacrifice themselves for the economy while they hide.

Grindr needs start using that GPS tracker you allowed it use, to trace how likely a person was to catching it.

With wedding invitations and all this other poo poo now planned for June we had to set an “are we the crazy ones?” date. Picked 4 weeks from Memorial Day. If cases remain stagnant or decreasing after Memorial Day and all this then we gotta go back to some semblance of normal.

Feeling pretty extreme cognitive dissonance/anxiety. Am I paranoid? It’s different from most “nutty” stuff in that I can’t believe it quietly or recommend a good book (“oh that’s not a theory, go read Killing Hope!”).

What data would you base this decision on?

I know some folks having a wedding with about 100 people in about a week. I'll keep you updated on this potential superspreading event and let you know how many of my husband's relatives die.

They're outside and people are moving around, not sitting in one place so I'm sure there will be some but it's more comparable to a packed beach (which hasn't been the source of outbreaks) than anything else.
