Coronavirus SZN Forever

How longs an election supposed to last?

  Depends.  I'd ask big tech..not that they'd give you a straight answer.

  edit: dcm: don't read into the 'elections lasting more than 4 hours' crack as anything beyond word play (was in reference to a rona vaccine side effect).

A few weeks ago, a guy on my team at work was experiencing mild symptoms while working from home.  He had bad headaches and loss of taste/smell.  That's it though, nothing too crazy.

He started having pain in his calf that moved up to his groin.  The dude had blood clots in his legs as a long term side effect.  If his wife wasn't a nurse, he said he would've just assumed he pulled something on his Peloton and taken some Ibuprofen.

The guy is 41 years old and has to take Eliquis.

All hype.

This is all just your opinion.

I've kept quiet about the subject, but the Saturday after Thanksgiving my wife and I went to her 96yo grandmother's house. A weekly thing because we've been her caretakers for years.

We found her on the floor. She'd had a heart attack. The paramedics came, and she was responsive but weak. They took her to the hospital more out of caution (heart attack not yet diagnosed).

She spent 3 days in the emergency room because all the ICU beds were occupied and there was absolutely no room to admit her. Finally, on Monday afternoon they put her in a bed (non-ICU). That night (2AM Tuesday) she passed away.

We protected this woman for months. Took every freedom away from her because fuckoffs won't wear masks. And still, covid managed to (indirectly) take her from us.

If you believe covid is a hoax, if you are an anti-masker, if you think this whole thing is overhyped, or whatever--I hate you. I blame you and all like you for the loss of a woman whose last direct words to me were "I love you like a son."

I'm sorry this happened to your family.

I still think he's a piece of excrement cult leader, but a tip of my cap to Tom Cruise:

https://variety.com/2020/film/news/tom-cruise-yells-mission-impossible-7-crew-covid-19-guidelines-1234854675/

Tom Cruise expressed his frustration with crew members on the set of “Mission: Impossible 7” after he saw them breaking COVID-19 guidelines, two sources close to the production confirm to Variety.

As first reported by The Sun, after Cruise saw two crew members standing too close to one another in front of a computer screen, he told the crew: “If I see you do it again you’re freaking gone.”

“You can tell it to the people who are losing their freaking homes because our industry is shut down. It’s not going to put food on their table or pay for their college education. That’s what I sleep with every night – the future of this freaking industry!” Cruise said. “So I’m sorry, I am beyond your apologies. I have told you, and now I want it, and if you don’t do it, you’re out. We are not shutting this freaking movie down! Is it understood? If I see it again, you’re freaking gone.”

The US Food and Drug Administration gave emergency authorization Tuesday for a COVID-19 test that can be fully taken at home.

Other at-home tests require a prescription or require people to send test samples to a lab to get results. But the COVID-19 home test developed by Australian company Ellume is sold over-the-counter and produces results that can be read at home.

"Today's authorization is a major milestone in diagnostic testing for COVID-19," FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn said in a written statement. "By authorizing a test for over-the-counter use, the FDA allows it to be sold in places like drug stores, where a patient can buy it, swab their nose, run the test and find out their results in as little as 20 minutes."

The test uses an analyzer that connects with a software application on a smartphone to help users perform the test and interpret results, the FDA said.

The Ellume test is an antigen test that "correctly identified 96% of positive samples and 100% of negative samples in individuals with symptoms," the FDA said.

In people without symptoms, the test correctly identified 91% of positive samples and 96% of negative samples, the FDA said.

Because the test isn't perfect, people who get a negative result should still presume they may be infected and act accordingly -- wearing a mask and keeping away from others.

Ellume expects to produce more than 3 million tests in January. When it applied for emergency use authorization, the company said it would charge $30 for the test.

To be fair this is more about his movie than covid.

If he gave a excrement about covid he wouldn't be filming a freaking movie. Dudes shitting gold, it's not like he's working to feed his family
