I also remember a family pleading for patients who had recovered from covid, for their antibodies. We're getting out into the weeds here for this thread but its still early days for the disease and we don't know how it'll mutate going forward. So maybe? Maybe not?

I also remember a family pleading for patients who had recovered from covid, for their antibodies. So far, but coronaviruses usually only confer immunity to reinfection for several months. Subsequent reinfections tend to be only mildly or asymptomatic, but still contagious. SARS-CoV-2 seems to fit the pattern since antibodies disappear over several months and we’ve already had a few confirmed reinfections that we’re asymptotic the second time around. That means that people who get infected a second time are probably at less personal risk but are at high risk of spreading the virus to others because they will likely be asymptomatic and taking fewer precautions. Especially right-wing nutjobs. This still isn’t confirmed because we’re early in the epidemic and most asymptomatic reinfections will never even be tested. The virologists on the This Week in Virology podcast think it’s the most likely scenario given current evidence, though. Stickman fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Oct 12, 2020 |

Her responses are reasonably competent. All in all, this would be less horrifying if it wasn’t following the Beer-Man hearings. She hasn’t been nearly as easy to object to as he was.

So have most nominees since I started paying attention to them (so basically since Roberts.) Kavanaugh was exceptional not just because it turned into ripping off the “respectful of women” mask off the GOP in such a way that it caused people personal pain, but he was also so incompetent at not answering questions that he needed people like Lindsay Graham to start singing his praises loudly when someone got close to making a point.

I'm sure this will shock all of you, but the SCOTUS has ruled that Trump can end the census early. That this is a huge help to the GOP in their attempt to keep power is certainly a coincidence I'm sure.

That this is a huge help to the GOP in their attempt to keep power is certainly a coincidence I'm sure. that's not quite the (bad) scotus news, and it's not an accurate description of what happens if we (wrongly) end census enumeration tomorrow / next week and keep it ended The current/yesterday state of affairs is that enumeration continues till October 31, or another three-ish weeks. The ideal is as close to 100% enumeration as feasible, and more time is good. Most states are pretty close to 100% right now, and most parts of most states are pretty close to 100%. This is due in large part to very good Census Bureau management, enthusiastic and motivated enumerators, a gigantic hiring push three ish months ago, and virtually unlimited overtime opportunities. Unenumerated addresses are also not necessarily just marked vacant - they're fed into The Algorithm which, to massively oversimplify, fills them in with representative data proportionally to similar addresses in similar areas. This tends towards undercounting rather than overcounting for Various Pretty Good Reasons, but it is not a zero count outside of wacky edge cases. The Supreme Court has not ruled Trump can stop the count early, but it has iirc removed the stay that prevented him from stopping it temporarily - and after October 31 he is in a much stronger position in stopping it entirely, which means that every lost day in the meantime is potentially permanently lost even if SCOTUS/the circuit aren't total assholes in their eventual ruling. tldr: it's bad but it's not as bad as you might think

I thought apportionment was strictly by enumerated people and the courts always said they gotta go by the count as a constitutional process (though it’s pretty high odds that gets changed 5-4 with Trump applying some other, non-enumerative data to determine who’s not a citizen.)

I agree at this point the count is almost done no matter what but the fight will be in however the numbers can be manipulated by Trump and what a new Congress can do in response.GreyjoyBastard posted:tbf Thomas's position on why oral arguments are bunk and should be abolished is somewhat less crazy than all his other raving mad ideas This would be good in a world even 10-20 years ago but at this point it’s better that the non-Thomas fringe justices love to talk and will use these opportunities to tell on themselves. yronic heroism fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Oct 13, 2020 |

It literally means "the unlawful killing of another." Much like how the POTUS cannot legally suspend or delay elections in the US (an actual question that ACAB refused to answer).
