When Hillary Clinton’s name came up, the reaction was nearly indistinguishable from a Trump rally.

I'm confused about why it's apparently ok and fine and dandy to be telling hi-larious jokes that can't possibly be told without chanting Trump's slogans, but never mind

that is the joke?

I mean if people don't like it, that's fine. If there's a story about it causing wider issues due to surging popularity and wider reach, exposing it to people who don't understand the context, or encouraging problematic attitudes and behaviour in leftist political circles then cool - tell that story. Don't just go to a drat chapo live show and quote lines at face value with feigned horror to create a news piece, it just sounds silly and desperate

The more important question is why Cum Town (assuming that's THE NAME THAT CANNOT BE PRINTED, come on nyt it's obviously latin) is apparently a leftist thing.

I don't get this. Why don't older people ever seem to want to change/ improve? If someone was telling me something was wrong I would at least listen.

It's easier to assume things are just fine, so you never have to question anything - including your own attitudes and choices. It gives you a pass to ignore anything you don't like (it's/they're wrong), to be as mean or uncaring as you like (it's their own fault they deserve it), and never feel really challenged or responsible or like you're ignorant of anything

we have a culture that impresses a bunch of behaviours on people as they grow up - admitting you're wrong means you're flawed, not knowing a thing is a weakness, knowing your place and being content with your lot and never demanding more. That's changed over time, which is why people from older generations get scared and angry when that reality they've grown up with gets challenged by younger generations who don't seem to accept all this stuff and behave according to it. Not only is it hard to accept these ideas, there's also the fact that it opens up the possibility that you're wrong and didn't know things which are ideas they've been conditioned to reject

So there's a lot of cognitive dissonance there and the easy out is to just smile and say nope, it's all good, lazy millennials it's their own fault etc. Someone was posting in the Super Tuesday thread about this idea that when someone promises young people the electoral opportunity to change things and make their lives better, their parents and grandparents will turn out in force to crush them. And I think there's something to that, there's an forceful reaction that happens when a narrative starts to get traction, and it's not just about fighting for a particular political ideology - it's a response to a changing world too, people fighting to keep themselves at the centre of it

Voter suppression in America is wild. Communities with high poverty and minority voters are forced to wait for hours because the government actively closes down places to vote and holds back voting machines. Like, actively making sure there's warehouses of voting machines going unused. For the explicit purpose of disenfranchising anyone who might vote to improve the lives of the poor. They even admit that's why they do it.

the best part is this isn't even a state election, it's the Democratic Party, so as much as they point the finger at the Republicans they're absolutely wild for it if their anointed neolibs are threatened

So I'm on Covid-19 self isolation. Patient I saw 13 days ago has tested positive in a Spanish hospital. Thankfully I'm only isolating until tomorrow as it stands plus I'm symptom free but I saw a friend with terminal metastatic breast cancer yesterday so if I was positive I've put her at risk.

I can see why people hate this, I'm board already and I'm not even allowed to cuddle the cat. Need to do it, though.

because of transmission to others through cat or is there a risk to pets too?

what's the deal with doctors anyway, are you meant to self-isolate if you saw a patient and you weren't taking precautions? And is it basically up to the 2-week point after you saw the person, so you'd either have it by now or not? Just wondering because if things start to spike I'm wondering how they're gonna keep people safe

Hope you're ok though! Watch some cat videos at least

Right now its some variation of 'test, self-isolate and test again if you become symptomatic' depending on the trust. As things get worse though I fully expect it to be 'sod testing, all the patients have it anyway' and you keep working until you drop. Much like what's happened/happening in Wuhan and Italy.

is there a set period to isolate though? Like one day seems like it wouldn't prove anything, but I can see why "X days after the person you had contact with displayed symptoms" might be a thing, if that's what it is?

Yeah I can definitely see them welping it at some point. I can even more see Boris "why contain it, it's cool" Johnson publicly declaring all NHS workers must do the right thing, like in the war, and "work through the sniffles"

If you're exposed, you'll be tested and you should isolate until the results are back. If you develop symptoms then re-isolate and re-test. If there's any doubt then isolate for 2 weeks.

If they don't slow down the curve he NHS is going to be overwhelmed and everything is going to melt down. There was a presentation today which expected 30k admissions for a region with maybe 6k hospital beds total? It makes a difference whether we reach that 30k number over a 3 months or over 3 weeks. The estimation is a 4-6 week recovery time for the severe cases means resources will be tied up for an exceedingly long time.

I wonder if we're in a cold war we don't even realise is happening...

I saw an ITV report on China's handling of it and the massive drop in infection rates - and they didn't talk about how they massively mobilised to build hospitals, reconfigure the existing health service, got the public to take it seriously and made it easier for them to self-isolate or anything. They just said that President Xi travelled to Wuhan and met people, but WHAT YOU DIDN'T SEE were the POLICE and SECURITY in the building (!!!) ensuring NOBODY CRITICISED him because people are ANGRY that IT WAS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE
