Classic. I'm sure the real doctors at Walter Reed are tickled pink.

I hope he gets/is really, really sick. I don't care whether he lives or dies.
Those are the only results that serve the greater good as far as things stand ATM. |

It's a shitty situation, but ultimately, we brought this fucking mess upon ourselves. We elected a goddamn sociopathic moron who gives zero shits about anyone except himself.

Can the US survive three months of a petulant sociopath running the nation while the pandemic rages?

Trump was able to do all that he did because of his Republican enablers. Expect a lot of backpedaling and deleted tweets from those that strongly supported the president and his vision to twist America to his selfish fickleness.
As for the next 3 months... grift with a capital G. Other than that I really have no idea. They continue to surprise with how cruel they can be. [edit]: THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS. I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM! - - - - - So, yeah. Interesting times ahead. So it goes. Last edited by 709 : 2020-11-07 at 18:53. |

There is no doubt in my mind that Trump could have, and probably would have, won if he had made even a half-arsed attempt to deal with the pandemic (oh and not told supporters not to vote by mail - what a maroon!) He was an incumbent during a national crisis FFS.
The giant man baby lost first and foremost because he's as dumb as a bag of rocks. And I, for one, am very happy about it. |

More and more of my medical industry friends are getting vaccinated. However we have a big challenge ahead of us:
If the goal is to reach 80% of Americans vaccinated with a 2-dose vaccine, it will take 10 years at our current pace. We are at 1 million vaccinations a week. To get to herd immunity by June 2021, we need to be at 3.5 million vaccinations a day. ... |

Here in Canada the general population isn’t expected to get access to the vaccine until the fall of 2021. In other words, not much chance of things getting back to normal by this time next year.
With the UK faster spreading variant getting into other places now (including here), thanks to idiots who thought international travel was a good idea, it’s going to get worse before it gets better, no doubt about it. |

Uk variant for the win!
Honestly, if you think this is the end of the virus's evolution, you've got another think coming... There will be an immense selection pressure on the virus to get around these early vaccines. And even if it takes only six weeks to make a new vaccine, and only several months to get it out to the general population, that's a lot of sick people... |

Meanwhile, my conservative friends are currently harrumphing at me over low flu numbers... and continue going out to meetups with like-minded heretics...

Just joining this discussion on page 12. What could go wrong?
Anyway, Israel has just over 8 million people. They've vaccinated 500,000 in the last nine days. And the easier-to-deploy vaccines aren't even available yet. God bless 'em. They will have a quarter of their country done by January. Anyone else this far ahead? |

I had a friend text and ask me what vitamins I was taking to prevent getting COVID. Of course the guy is a borderline ani-vaxer. Sounds like blast. In fact we should let the religious guys do what they did during the Black Plague, travel from town to town, have big public meetings and have super spreader events... wait, they already are. |

Unfortunately, you are not learning at all. I warned you via PM to keep your grievance with me in there. You refused, because you are clearly more concerned with drawing attention to yourself than settling your issues like an adult. Too bad. I did not want to go this route. In fact, I told you that banning you was easy, while working it out was hard, and that I wanted to do it the hard way. You chose the easy way. Good bye. Edit: And you know, I was thinking about this part. I think almost everyone in this forum disagreed with me about COVID.

Well aware, I was one. Due to my post secondary education, at least on paper, I could walk into a church and apply for a job as a pastor. Never will now, but yeah I could. Now I'm just a boring centralist.

Colorado isn't sure of it's timeline given confusing data from the feds but today the governor announced they're accelerating their vaccination timetable and moving into the next phase. First responders, hospices and the general public over age 75.
I'm cautiously holding out hope I can get the vaccine by June. |

I just got one of those fancy Bluetooth scales. Haven't weighed myself since the pandemic started. It was... not good.

My weight has been steady but I don’t eat on a schedule and only do so when I’m hungry so this is perhaps understandable...

I've actually dropped about 10lbs this year. Did 12k minutes on my Peloton in 2020 and got back into lifting. Not going to bars or restaurants helps too.

I also dropped weight this year. Not due to a change in exercise though, I had to make some diet changes due to a medial condition I became aware of in January, after a painful day in emergency.
