    1 in 5 chance of long covid for every infection and we'll be getting infected about 3 times a year.

    How the fuck is anyone okay with this?

      Oh, come now. Don't you remember? President Biden said he would "follow the science". He just stuttered. He meant to say that he would "follow the political science".

      Seriously though - I understand why people are outraged at the deaths of school kids. I am too. But there's something worse that's been going on for years now. There's a hideous bipartisan effort to cause needless illness, suffering, and death by putting the economy above public health. The right-wing doesn't care. And the libs are pretending that what Biden and the CDC are doing isn't truly horrible.

      The US is insane. It's just insane.
