I would literally crawl through broken glass and swim through a river of alcohol to vote for a baked potato to kick Trump out of office. I genuinely believe a baked potato would do less damage than the current occupant. So who the fuck cares why people are voting for Biden as long as they do?

I like Biden. He'll be like the first breath of fresh air after being locked in a cave with a rotting corpse for 3 years. But I'm not voting for the breath of fresh air, I just want to get out of the damn cave. I wouldn't give a shit who the nominee was at this point.

The main reason I like Biden is he doesn't scare off the voters we need. We'll have that fight once Trump is out and we aren't in danger of losing Democracy while at the same time enabling the pandemic to rack up a million lives lost due to the anti-science bullshit coming from the Trump admin. We need to survive first, before we bicker about the nuances of our present leadership.

      "The latest COVID-19 situation is found to be under control and the Ministry of Health and other agencies are still making efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19," Dr Noor Hisham said.

      At least they have it contained-

      Dr Noor Hisham said the 16 imported cases were from Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Yemen, Lebanon, the United Kingdom and Japan.

      welp

        Okay, after reading some of the comments, the good news is that the posted article seems irresponsibly sensationalist and borderline misleading. if you read this piece about the mutation https://medium.com/microbial-instincts/what-the-d614g-mutation-means-for-covid-19-spread-fatality-treatment-and-vaccine-7dda1c066f0d , it sounds like we are probably worse off but really only a little bit compared to where we were before (lol)

          Ah good to know, I tend to try not to overestimate covid news since so much is already downplayed for the sake of the global economy, but I should remember to maintain some skepticism anyway

          The G614 variant is more infectious in laboratory settings; whether it means increased viral spread in humans is unconfirmed. Current evidence says that the G614 variant is not any deadlier than D614. And so, treatment options should not be any more different. Both the D614 and G614 variants should react similarly to vaccines, studies suggest, as the mutation does not change the immunogenic part of the spike protein; that is, the receptor-binding domain (RBD).

          So at least there's some hope
