    Can't, won't, and don't want to debate that, because you're 100% right. My only point was that while Cuonmo does suck, he's done a far better job than Abbott handling this.

    A post on twitter saying "1.3 million dying in car accidents every year and no one cares" made me go fact check.

    Here's a list of random deaths I googled for ONLY the USA:

    Car Accidents: 38,000
    Heart Disease: 650,000
    Suicide: 48,000
    Alcohol Poisoning: 2,500
    Drowning: 3,500

    Not sure what anyone would do with this, but I was looking it up and wanted to keep track...so here's my notes.

    If someone brings that car accident shit up while also being the same person (likely) complaining about masks... I guess just ask if they will stop buckling their seatbelts and start running red lights in addition to being a mask truther.

    AbeFroman You touch me, I yell RAT!

    Shit numbers aside, "no one cares" is also inaccurate considering there are traffic laws, law enforcement, mandated safety equipment, regulatory bodies to enforce automobile manufacters' crash standards, regulations on medical qualifications for drivers license both commercial and private, safety advocate groups, public awareness campaigns, etc

    Testing woes continue https://www.washingtonpost.com/heal...2f7fa8-c1fe-11ea-b4f6-cb39cd8940fb_story.html

    "“It’s not shortages of any one thing. It’s now spot shortages of all of them,” said Scott Becker, chief executive of the Association of Public Health Laboratories. “Clinical labs need more swabs, chemical reagents, viral transport media, test kits, machines to process the tests, staffing to run the machines.”"

    Reminds me of something that a student told my stepdad once while he was teaching:

    “Based on the principles of physics, I’m less likely to get into a car accident going through an intersection as fast as I can.”

    That’s how stupid the logic is.

    Had a conversation with someone earlier and their whole take was that if our hospitals can handle it we should just let it run it's course. Example he liked to use is that New York didn't get completely over taken. Obviously that's not even true but I think the bigger missed part was that was with one city as an epicenter. How the fuck are we going to handle multiple cities at the same time? Also, what the fuck do the hospitals look like if we keep down this course and then get into the actual flu season??

    Also letting it run its course has a lot of people dying who otherwise wouldn't if we locked down well enough until the vaccine is ready

    Not sure why people are sleeping on the fact that death isn't the only negative of covid, and the extent of the damage is completely unknown

    But only 20% of those are covid related (I have no idea). You know, because you can just let all those other people go home that are in the ICU and it's not covid related. I've gotten to the point where I don't even care to argue with these people anymore, they're not changing their opinion and it's just exhausting. Unfortunately for me I have to encounter a fair amount of people like this on a regular basis.

    Because the media carries water for the Right allowing them to push that narrative.

    People need to remember that the MSM benefits greatly from the Trump presidency and all this chaos. Hell, he said it himself "If Biden gets elected your ratings will fall" and he's exactly right. Last thing the media wants is for any of this to stop

    Got exposed to someone who was positive about 3 weeks ago now. Found out 11 days after exposure. Got a rapid test on day 12 which came back positive. My wife was exposed to the same person and her rapid test came back negative. 5 days later after my positive test i got retested and me and my wife both were negative that time. I have no idea what to believe any more. Now trying to get a third test and antibody test to see if i actually had it and or still have it.

    They do not.

    They have no idea what they're doing. Luckily, my wife is taking the year off from teaching but her former kids parents have been blowing her up the last 48 hours. They are all terrified and upset.

    Also, I think 5 teachers recently(since the weekend) told my wife they are not coming back to teach. That's just 5 of the teachers she's close with. I'd like to know how many more have quit.

    there’s 100% going to be a mass exodus in the field. there has been for years but it’s about to get bad.

    this wildly varies by district but I don’t think people understand how difficult it is to procure substitutes either. even in normal times
