Herd immunity seems to be the latest "lazy American" fantasy. Because we don't have to do anything. We just go about our lives, and eventually, poof! Herd immunity is achieved.

Distance, wash hands, wear a mask, test & trace. We can't be that spoiled where these things are a great hardship.

What do you mean? Memorial Day proved that herd immunity is a thing. Countless deaths in Fla./Texas, but it will be worth it in the end.

Save for the fact that there is no immunity, as the antibodies don't last more than a couple of months.

So begging Trump for help and putting COVID patients in nursing homes making them killing fields is your idea of leadership. You certainly have odd criteria.

Not quite. Because the trump virus was allowed to make its way here from Europe, NY was infested. Had trump done ANYTHING in January when he was first briefed, then NY might have been able to take precautions.

Namely, sanitizing every airplane/airport.

But trump golfed, and held Klan rallies calling the virus a 'hoax'.

No begging involved. NY took action and demanded that the Feds do the same.

lol trump is throwing the last pile of dirt on his re-election bid. It’s dead.

And he's too stupid to listen to the professionals.

His polling in the suburbs is under water. What does he do? Make false promises that he's going to keep 'the blacks' from moving to the suburbs, preventing a drop in property values.

He's officially gone off the rails.

BUZZ KILL ALERT!!!!!!

Obviously we know little about the long term evolution but I have read that several times..

Also that mutation is slower compared to other, similar virus, but does that mean it will remain so??

In a few months most of us will be back indoors sharing the air w/ everyone else + colds, flu, allergies etc projecting who knows what into the air.......

This virus mutates faster than others. Many of the nurses who got Covid before my nurse GF did, no longer have antibodies. GF was sick in May, so she's about to retest for antibodies.

If i was a political campaigner (which I have been in the past) I would know that
A. its early
B. Public polls are dodgy
C. Pedo Joe has to face the camera at some point and that the few peaks hes given were kryptonite.

Obviously, everyone wants to be ahead in the polls but you’re spot-on with the rest of it.

If the election were today I wouldn’t bet against Biden *but* I would be very surprised if the polls turned out to be an accurate reflection of the election results.

This is early August *in 2020* lol. I may not predict who will win but I’ll definitely predict things aren’t done happening. Lefties scoff at it [because the media Bubble scoffs at it] but Durham could be a game changer.

And Joe does have to face the camera at some point. He is *going* to say some inopportune things when he does—it’s practically a given. As I’ve pointed out before Biden has a perception problem with his cognitive state. He is going to have to convince independents and mushy democrats that it’s only a perception problem and not a real problem.

July’s economic numbers were better than expected. If the trend continues voters will have to consider whether they want to hand a recovering economy over to a new president.

This thing is far from over. The race generally tightens the closer it gets to November and I don’t see this one being any different.

Last I read it was slower. I also read there were about 5/6 variations floating around..

Science's COVID-19 reporting is supported by the Pulitzer Center and the Heising-Simons Foundation.

It’s only a tiny change. At some point early in the pandemic, one of the 30,000 letters in the genome of SARS-CoV-2 changed from an A to a G. Today, that mutation, at position 23,403, has spread around the world. It is found in the vast majority of newly sequenced viruses and has become the center of a burning scientific question: Has the mutation become so common because it helps the virus spread faster? Or is it just coincidence?

More than 6 months into the pandemic, the virus’ potential to evolve in a nastier direction—or, if we’re lucky, become more benign—is unclear. In part that’s because it changes more slowly than most other viruses, giving virologists fewer mutations to study. But some virologists also raise an intriguing possibility: that SARS-CoV-2 was already well adapted to humans when it burst onto the world stage at the end of 2019, having quietly honed its ability to infect people beforehand.

Too early to make predictions. To do so is a fool's errand.

But there’s no shortage of them lol.

Its fair to say the campaign has yet to start.
Media wont waste camera time on Trump and they dare not put Pedo on camera either.
It starts with the first "debate".
With the economy trending up and a debate being a bloodbath for the donkeys sexual predator / village idiot this will make Hillary's collapse look heroic.

Now I’m at my spot nursing a Big Timber IPA. Brewed over in Elkins WV. Nice little college town hardly anyone in the world knows about.

I get back to find out Schumer and Cuomo bent the knee on opening schools while I was gone. Must have been those pesky poll numbers.

Better than expected jobs numbers for July.

Schumer and Pelosi loaded up the stimulus bill with so much Green tripe that it got rejected; which opens the door for Trump to help workers with an EO.

Maybe Trump’s best day of the summer.

Thanks, headed to Elkins with the family and all the neighbors.

Any good swimming holes you can recommend? We will be writing a review in Yankee magazine.

 

[Rune]

I worked 40 years for Friday’s like these lol.

Fuck child labor laws in Kentucky or whatever shitheel state you live in?

 

[Rune]

I'm sorry to hear that. If this is as good as it gets, I feel for you.

Angel city been real good on me.
Another forty years or if I pay off the company store I can re-tire.

 

[Rune]

nice. I dodged T-Storms and got my pool time in the last 2 nights.
It's awesome being outside and seeing the storms brew up, but I gotta hightail it outta there if I see lightning and thunder
My arms are becoming extremely strong, and I can feel neck and back muscles building as well from stroking

Keep up the miles

Stroke this ya fucking 'mo

You’ll like Elkins.

Tygart River flows nearby but I not sure about the swimming holes. I’d recommend checking out Seneca Rocks. It’s pretty cool.

And there’s always Big Timber Brewery lol.

 

[Concart]

And Hillary couldnt lose.

Straw man. I never stated that. But Trump can’t win this time around without a seismic event. It isn’t happening. He’s stooped so low now that he’s trying to use the US treasury to buy votes. That’s how crass your Orange God has become.

Democrats would never stoop to buying votes.

Would they?

I see you are sarcasm challenged in addition to your other mental frailties.
