I'm sorry if I sound like one of "those" people who is stopping people from having fun, but there is no way you are going to convince me that the hundreds of thousands of fans gathered for NFL and college football games are all vaxxed and not risking further mutation. I get that it's outside, but again, these people are shoulder to shoulder, maskless, yelling for 2+ hours, going to and from the bathroom, etc. I just really don't understand how the script has flipped so abruptly from "an outside gathering of tens of thousands of people is definitely a super spreader event" to "nahh it's OK because people are outside."

So it seems like we're back to business as usual, and I won't be surprised if we see another mutation. Or who knows, maybe this thing will just fizzle out.

    tick tick tick tick. it's coming.

    they just ended the eviction moratorium and unemployment benefits too.

    we need to radicalize people that all the homeless people everywhere that everyone hates seeing are going to grow and the more homeless people you see, the more it reflects a failure to deal with the pandemic justly.

    tick tick tiBOOM.

      We need people, every time they see a homeless person, to think “wow capitalism really left us to fucking die on the streets during a pandemic didn’t it?”
