pretty wild that sharri markson went on Bannon's podcast to talk about The Wuhan Virus and it passed by pretty much unnoticed

probably final update on this story that maybe only i give a shit about - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-26/china-coronavirus-dossier-came-out-of-us-state-department/12282994 (tldr the 'dossier' came from the state dept and strayan spies are sniffy about the fact that it was a clear attempt to attribute, in subsequent amerikkkan coverage, the lab claims to them by implication). not sure if pompeo's incompetence is dangerous or simply funny at this point

Garcetti says every testing center in the city of LA has been closed. This appears to have been a punitive response. In his response as to why the centers were all closed rather than in specific areas: "We're not going to stand for the burning of police cars."

we apparently headed home right before shit got real in our city. was very odd to come home to footage of cop cars on fire when things had been like, extremely tame liberal zone when we had left 20mins prior

Being outside helps with the wind and everything. Maybe not the shouting but what can you do when amerikkka is collapsing. Every single person at the one I went to was masked though so that was nice.
the right wing hacks are losing their shit over this, saying the "conspiracy theorists" were right, etc.
if I'm understanding this correctly there are a couple of issues here. most COVID modeling suggests ~20% of infected people are truly asymptomatic, never developing any symptoms at all. but the other 80% are still shedding the virus during the incubation period, and after they develop symptoms, which for a sizable chunk of people are going to be barely noticeable. even if most asymptomatic cases aren't infecting more people, people who don't know they're infected yet are.
so it seems kind of weird that the WHO would push this? i mean, it completely contradicts everything we thought we understod about the virus. is it just terrible communication? or the CCP using their puppet public health org to spread disinformation? I'm really at a loss of what to make of this.

seems to be, yeah. they really should have known laypeople would interpret 'asymptomatic' to include 'presymptomatic'. for more information please see this venn diagram i whipped up

since everything is very uncoordinated the states that have chosen to "open 'er up" with little precaution are probably going to reinfect the safer ones. there's also talk about never going into lock down again, so any future sacrifices in human life will be for the greater good of the economy, aka stonks. on the bright side, we've achieved the amazing feat of preventing a second wave by letting the first one continue forever.

This is bad. ICE just told students here on student visas that if their school is going online-only this fall, the students must depart the United States and cannot remain through the fall semester. https://t.co/8DteVzexLB pic.twitter.com/OfkWRKFZZE
