You know what man you just need to wake up you Fkin sheep


lol, ironically dude falls asleep at his desk for hours every day. he's lying to himself about being diabetic, and also has sleep apnea from being so fat. so when he hits low blood sugar and goes into an involuntary nap he blames it on the poor sleep. i bet he loses a foot.

I thought the Chinese hoax was climate change, not covid?! :lol:
Guess I'm out of the loop.

Reinfections have absolutely been confirmed, but not very common at all

Are there really people that are still anti mask September of 2020? I thought those were just fake memes lol. A seat belt is arguably more uncomfortable than a mask and they clearly have been demonstrated across the world to decrease spread. Not just about preventing death, do you know how many 30-50 year olds I personally have seen that are going to end up with ridiculous hospital bills. Obsessing about mortality rates is ignoring a myriad of other problems

Even your President was caught on record admittedly downplaying the role of masks. The man has access to daily 1 hour return testing, the American population does not. Our testing abilities are actually regressing for reasons I don’t really know. We were at 24 hour turn around times and now it’s taking 2-4 days to get a test back again.


no its a real thing, and you can just chalk it up to the Ghots/Endless' of the world thinking that having diabetes makes the entire disease a HOAX.
I so wish the states could separate as a union for about 2 years.. Red/Blue no travel between and watch the R states have mortality rates seen nowhere else on the planet.
That and the unemployment skyrocket. I think it is truly the only way they would change their minds.

"climate change is a chinese hoax to sell solar panels"

ok so can we just make solar panels

"what do u not care about the 50k coal miners of america"

well solar could employ 10x more people

its true, my wet dreams involve solar powered robots building solar powered robots while humans starve in a cage in the background.

Should've seen fells point mainstreet(inner harbor) the last few weeks since the governor opened back up to 50%, they're ignoring the distancing rules, ignoring the masks.
Bars are overflowing, mains street has been packed nearly every night. Ocean city labor day weekend was worse.
And now with H20i, which was a huge clusterfuck last year, is going to be even worse with COVID (it's an unofficial car show where thousands upon thousands flock to ocean city to show off their oversized mufflers on their crack jack toy imports)

I've noticed the same slowdown, after our governor's publicity stunt with South Korean tests through his wife, they've since abandoned them due to their unreliability. https://www.baltimoresun.com/coronavirus/bs-md-korea-tests-dropped-20200918-cn2kdo7do5go3m74tzrzz7as3u-story.html - not only did he overpay on them, he bought tests we didn't actually need at the time. And have since been abandoned, so talk about a waste of money all around.

They're still refusing to test the asymptomatic unless you can prove you were exposed or in a high risk profession (the inconsistency to which this is being applied is bonkers) contact tracing isn't being given the attention it needs or the funding and manpower, so proving exposure is a crap shoot.

So climate change denial's real purpose is to hasten the blackening of the sky so we can starve the machine race of their primary power source, until they decide to put us in pods and start intravenously feeding the dead to the living. Our only hope is the one.

So it mutates. Fantastic. 3 more years of lockdown for you.

Massive genetic study shows coronavirus mutating and potentially evolving amid rapid U.S. spread

Scientists in Houston on Wednesday released a study of more than 5,000 genetic sequences of the coronavirus, which reveals the virus’s continual accumulation of mutations, one of which may have made it more contagious.

That mutation is associated with a higher viral load among patients upon initial diagnosis, the researchers found.

The new report, however, did not find that these mutations have made the virus deadlier or changed clinical outcomes. All viruses accumulate genetic mutations, and most are insignificant, scientists say.

The new study, which has not been peer-reviewed, was posted Wednesday on the preprint server MedRxiv. It appears to be the largest single aggregation of genetic sequences of the virus in the United States thus far. A larger batch of sequences was published earlier this month by scientists in the United Kingdom, and, like the Houston study, concluded that a mutation that changes the structure of the “spike protein” on the surface of the virus may be driving the outsized spread of that particular strain.

Which is why stopping the spread early for such a huge deal. It's why contact racing and other preventative measures besides just locking down and wearing masks was so important and why is such a failure that we did basically none of that. The more it spreads the more likely it is to gain mutations in the more likely it is to combine with other viruses and the more likely it is to completely reset everybody's immunity as a result multiple times over

Pretty great video on PCR and other COVID testing methods and how they work.
