My younger sister is an MD who had to do a few rotations through the COVID ICU, and she confirmed that there are a number of people who talk like that even as they’re struggling to breathe or before they’re getting put on a ventilator. It’s horrifying.

Yeah, my ICU nurse friend has some horror stories of patients dying and asking her what they're dying of and then screaming at her about how covid's not real after she tells them they're dying of covid.

Despite all evidence to the contrary, my wife’s hair-lady will not accept that her (the hair lady’s) father died of COVID. It’s old age or his underlying conditions or poor diet or whatever. Never mind he experienced bad coughing, O2 stats dropped, and then needed a ventilator before dying in summer 2020. She just won’t bring herself to accept it.


She also hardcore Catholic, white, and voted Trump so….

“Receiving one of the COVID-19 vaccines ought to be understood as an act of charity toward the other members of our community. In this way, being vaccinated safely against COVID-19 should be considered an act of love of our neighbor and part of our moral responsibility for the common good.”

quote:

"I believe that morally everyone must take the vaccine," the pontiff said in a Jan. 10 interview for Italy's TG5 news program. "It is the moral choice because it is about your life but also the lives of others."

"I do not understand why some say that this could be a dangerous vaccine," said Francis. "If the doctors are presenting this to you as a thing that will go well and doesn't have any special dangers, why not take it?"

"There is a suicidal denialism that I would not know how to explain but today people must take the vaccine," the pontiff continued.

Does that have any effect on pepper spray? Like, is it rendered nil because of the covid side effects? Or CS for that matter?

Might be a slight uptick in the numbers of kids that go through boot having a quality gas chamber experience.

Covid, killing the right wing while making the left wing immune to common protest countermeasures.

No, I do not, I was just identifying what a more targeted estimate of the number of people who say in surveys that they feel at some point, not, yknow just at some point, and that's why, and that's why I'm saying the assistance is so important, because you could hit a sizable impact of people who could be at risk each month, if everybody was operating, it could be a meaningful number, though, y'know, every eviction is a heartbreaking, uh, y'know, so I don't want to play down those who might, who, who could still face it, uh but just to stress that the state and local governments accelerating, we're at 290,00, if it keeps getting larger and larger every month and if it sustains for several months, that, it could have a sizable impact

Covid will make ANTIFA supersoldiers a real thing

FrozenVent posted:

In theory the market should adjust because nobody can afford the higher rent, so landlords will have to lower rents.

In real life, this is going to be a humanitarian crisis to rival Covid itself.

boop the snoot posted:

Why is that? Because antifa got vaccinated and will be able to walk without getting winded from covid?

No, because landlords have multiple options. They can get by on lower occupancy, or combine two units into a single luxury unit.

Supply and demand only works when there are substitute goods at different price/quality levels.

How much lower occupancy can they get by on though?

How much lower occupancy can they get by on though? There are fixed costs to having a rental unit. At the very least property taxes will still be collected even if the property owner just lets it rot to the detriment of the rest of the property.

Sen. Danny Britt, a Lumberton Republican, said his colleagues have told him they support the intent behind the original bill draft, which would have banned all child marriages, but couldn’t vote to pass it because they either married as minors, married a minor or know someone who married as a minor.

It's not some sort of boycott of the prices, it's people literally unable to afford it. Unless there's some weird way of getting into an apartment when proof of income is required or evictions are no longer thing?

They didn't dismantle the police state.

They didn't eliminate the prison system.

They didn't repeal the 14th amendment.

They allow federally prohibited weed.

There's record breaking unemployment and an impending eviction crisis.

They're making an unterclass of "potential felons" that don't have constitutional rights.

They know exactly what they're doing because all the right industries will profit from our imprisonment, and allows for a lot of plausible deniability AND popular support for mass incarceration because Americans hate the poor.
