11 presidents, wow.

Khadyrov is infected

Fingers crossed for that murderous, torturous, homophobic rapist piece of dictatorial shit. May Hell await him.

The tweet from Neera Tanden (above): "I have the coronavirus. I’ve been sick for a week, and really, really fatigued, with muscle pain. So far, thankfully, no fever and my oxygen levels are fine. But I was super careful, wore masks, carried hand sanitizer. Haven’t really socialized with friends."

I haven't dwelled on such stories recently, but this will never stop baffling me.

Some suspicion that Gang of Four's Andy Gill may have been an earlier, undiagnosed victim of Covid-19: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/01/spate-of-possible-uk-coronavirus-cases-from-2019-come-to-light

Yup. Matt Johnson of The The appears to be down with Miss Rona too.

his post about it implied he was in the hospital for a throat infection.

There's some fairly graphic pictures of him post-op on his website.

Holy shit https://www.startribune.com/george-floyd-autopsy-report-released-he-tested-positive-for-covid-19-in-april/571000102/

Wreckless Eric has tested positive.

Recovered, but as a result of restricted oxygen flow, has had (and post op recovered from) a heart attack!

Auston Matthews:

Stand-up comedian D.L. Hughley has announced that he tested positive for the coronavirus after he was hospitalized for collapsing onstage during a performance in Nashville.

oh shit

he says he's still asymptomatic, but still frightening to have it diagnosed after collapsing

yeah that must have been v scary

that footage of him passing out was horrible

Herman Cain tests positive for coronavirus, is hospitalized with “serious” symptoms. He attended Trump's June 20 rally in Tulsa https://t.co/cKH2CN6DiM

has anyone been following the post-tulsa fallout? some really fucked up stuff with that, like how they ordered the secret service to NOT get tested for 2 days afterward, clearly because they were afraid of what they would find

that seems like the sort of order i would ignore, as a secret service agent

that's why you're not a secret service agent imo

mookie spent all his time focusing on how to bust out his pistols and hit 4 bullseyes within 2 seconds before spinning them around on his fingertips and re-holstering without hesitation. but he forgot to study the "if we order you to put you, your family, and others in danger by refusing to take a simple and free test, will you do it?"

that's where >50% of SS secret service candidates fail the entry exam

was Tulsa the first superspreader party?

there were a few other prominent ones before that, like this awesome party at lake of the ozarks:

great people!!

that is... a lot of white people

this isn't widely known, but when white people are born we actually emerge from that same pool in lake of the ozarks. kind of weird that they'd hold the party there but

EXCALIBUR
RYAN

xp. yakub's cauldron

that is... a lot of white people

why do you think that white people are the only ones not wearing masks and partying? where do you live? Pretty diverse group of non-mask'd people where I am hanging out!

i think something was misunderstood, which is understandable!

first, morbs asked if tulsa was the first superspreader party, so i posted the lake of the ozarks party pic, which was before tulsa. then forks remarked that there were a lot of white people in the picture. then i made a joke (a hilarious one!) about all white people actually being born in that pool, which is based off of my experiences of growing up in rural missouri and being forced to visit lake of the ozarks, which is like 96% white people iirc

anyway, i wasn't trying to suggest that only white people are partying and not wearing masks, although i guess it might have seemed that way

I do suspect it largely is though

yeah, it would make sense. republicans tend to be less cautious about coronavirus, and also heavily skew toward white

I suspect it's more age-based than race-based. Young people are dumb.

I don't think it's that either, like Karl said GOP skews older and whiter, but it's a really complicated situation. No one is getting consistent information, no one is giving out masks in my city, there aren't massive PSAs everywhere telling people what's safe and what's not. Trump is the biggest one to blame obviously, by going unmasked for MONTHS he's singlehandedly extended the pandemic by a significant amount. And honestly the "it doesn't protect you, it protects others" is confusing and not helpful, not because the sentiment is anathema to Americans, it sounds nonsensical to the layperson, like me, who didn't go to college.

But I am a very stupid person. I still don't understand how the mask doesn't protect me from getting the droplets but it protects others also wearing the mask from getting my droplets. But hey, whatever, I DON'T CARE, I'm wearing the mask. I haven't gotten a cold or anything since March--that never happened my whole life, I'm not putting that mask away for certain things now, ever again. But everyone has had to go through this process because there's such a deluge of information it's just exhausting and confusing.

When wearing the mask and breathing normally, you will draw in air from the gaps surrounding the mask. Now imagine that everyone is a hose with a thumb on it, spraying a widespread mist of droplets. If you walk through that mist with a mask, you'll still breath the mist in through the gaps. But imagine that you put a cap on the hose, right near the source where the water is being hurled forward, and before it can spread out into a widespread mist. You prevent the source of the dangerous widespread mist with your mask.

Say it don't spray it, basically

The pee pants analogy explains it simply enough. Two guys standing face to face - one of them pees. If he’s not wearing pants, it’s gonna hit the second guy. If he is, he just gets wet pants.

(points to the "get the fuck off this thread unless you have news of the Notably Infected and/or Fallen" sign)

at what point do the priest and the rabbi walk in?

When the other guys leave - Covid rules mean only two dudes in the bathroom at one time

The punchline is “but I am standing six feet away”
