I thought Trump's response to COVID was abysmal, but Biden has been pretty much non-existent as a President. He just kinda totters outs, reads the teleprompter, and then gets confused and wanders away.

Failed state.

The kids are just gonna have to be a bit dumber. It sucks but it's better than spreading the pandemic to everyone forever.

remember last year when liberals were adamant in their unified message that kids both don't spread covid and schools aren't a place where covid spreads lmao

e: and as always everybody here said that was the case and libs everywhere yelled at anybody that told them otherwise

Sitting in the Costco food court unmasked, Bible in hand, reading my favorite Psalms to my five children: Abel, Bethany, Carlos, Carlos, and Carlos.
seeing my family just rush to sacrifice their kids on the applebee's altar has been an interesting if not altogether unsurprising part of this crisis. got to give it you, that was novel

it's pretty funny to see how Biden was used only as a trojan horse to let democrats get seats of power and continue their sole policy position of "let's throw billions of dollars at things in the hopes it solves something"

Hey so did we ever get an explanation as to what causes Covid 'brain fog'? Is it brain damage from oxygen starvation or is it more a direct effect of the virus on the brain. The fact that it gets all up in there and fucks with your sense of smell indicates that it could be just directly giving you brain damage I guess?

this is the AAP's chart, but they rely on compiling state level data (CDC is at least 2 weeks behind and also has issues with the data)

and this is the hosed part: TX has always significantly undercounted, MA is an estimate, NE stopped reporting them at all, AL, HI, MO, RI, IA, CO, WV all changed their definitions this summer resulting in less cases, hospitalizations and deaths, etc etc etc

that last week is higher than any other week back when we were counting better is god damned terrifying

vascular stuff goes everywhere

people with VHL syndrome can end up with "brain tumors" that are actually vascular but right off the stem.

I mean i'm not a doctor (paging the actual doctor goons) but a vascular disease having a profile where you can end up with random organ damage doesn't seem that surprising.

it’s certainly not brain damage because some lib goons let me have it when I suggested it

I didn't expect any kind of vaccine to be widely available by now, but as usual my worst-case projection for how things might go was dwarfed by the reality of the situation being worse than i could possibly imagine

way back in the very beginning of all of this i made a post that the fact that the disease takes awhile and will move through the country at different rates means that we'll have constantly shifting hot spots and competing lockdown procedures which basically meant that there was never gonna be a way to get it under control

stupid of me to think there'd ever be lockdowns again tbh

2016-2020 prepped me for this exact moment because if you had told me at the beginning of COVID we would literally pull off the scientific miracle of the last 50 years in developing a safe and effective vaccine in months, but then it would fail because the chuds started mainlining horse paste i would have believed you immediately.
