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

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.

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”

Bolsonaro loves getting coronavirus

Customers at three UK pubs that opened over the weekend.

Bolsonaro dying of Coronavirus might make me believe in an interventionist god

I know, darling, that you do

Into your arms, covid

how many times is bolsonaro gonna get the rona ffs

did u know that bolsonaro backwards is 'o rona slob'?

Rano

"I've came back from the hospital now, I've done a lung screening, my lung is clean, OK? I went to do a Covid exam a while ago, but everything is okay," he said.
Bolsonaro, who was wearing a mask, warned people to not get near him.
"You can't get very close (to me), OK? Recommendation for everyone," Bolsonaro said.

Yeah, sounds legit. "I've been feeling bad, and they x-rayed my lungs, but I'm perfectly fine. Don't get near me, though. I mean, I'd say that about anyone, but me, specifically, keep away from me. Just sayin'."

Jeanine Añez. Wonder whether she has met Bolsonaro recently.

RIP Ohio Man

Only the truest patriot would sacrifice his life defending our freedom on the 4th of July.

You guys are so fucked

Jesus christ

Wow, he actually died on July 4th, and they say Americans don't do irony.

The Internet should stop haw-hawing that this guy is dead, Jesus. Powerful people DID this to him.

Amitabh and Abishek Bachchan tested positive apparently.

Goes back right to the very beginning of the pandemic, but Jack Nicklaus (just announcing it now).

Rabidly anti-gay Arkansas state Sen. Jason Rapert, who has referred to coronavirus as a "hoax" and called mask mandates "draconian," is now hospitalized with COVID-19

get dead soon

Herman Cain's twitter feed has been providing generically shitty right wing zombie talking points on a daily basis, but afaict he's still hospitalized with Covid, and has been for a month. Wilbur Ross was hospitalized for something a while ago, too, with no updates. I'd be cool with all these ghouls disappearing forever.
