@kluurs said in Scary COVID story: Couple did everything right. Person doing haircut was COVID tested and kept window open while doing haircut - and still... Story They thought they did everything right. The beautician was in the the pre-symptomatic stage and already shedding virus. The test (most likely rapid)was most likely negative due to one of two factors: Not enough antigen to be detected at the time of testing. Or... Poor sampling technique. Just because somebody collects and runs a test, doesn't mean they do a decent job. COVID requires a deep nasal swab. If you don't go far enough, you get a lousy specinen and you can get false negatives.

Wow.

@jolly said in No asymptomatic spread?: As for the Lifesite website, it is admittedly biased, unlike the NYT, which claims it is not. I'll take admittedly biased, anyday. I like the site and will continue to link articles when I wish. As always, folks here are free to comment and discuss. I also find that sites like these also cover some things that do get ignored by MSM. Consider this: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/fda-investigates-allergic-reactions-to-pfizer-covid-vaccine-after-more-healthcare-workers-hospitalized They may be wrong in their theory that PEG caused the problem, but the problem exists. I told you about it here, before the MSM had a single story. MSM in Canada have been regularly reporting about potential and actual vaccine reactions since at least December 12 following warnings from Health Canada to that effect. Being that your site is based in Canada, I suspect it's just trying to stay as relevant as its slightly godless and listless centrist and wholly godless and lifeless leftist competitors to which I consult for my information.

@george-k said in Meanwhile in Alabama: [image: 1609607154681-screen-shot-2021-01-02-at-11.05.26-am.png] People have been looking for patterns from the beginning...always based on politics....and they never hold. One of the great fallacies of this virus....and they are always from the “science” people.

@mik said in Chicago Teachers: The article below that about the circuit court clerk is interesting as well. A window on how not to transition. It's Crook County, man!

My personal impression is: beware... For more than 25 years China has silently been expanding its economical and military power at the expense of the US. Europe should be watching very carefully what it will get from or loose to China. It's better to have a deal than no deal (cfr. Brexit), but the outcome is still an enigma to me. And it wasn't a big topic in the news. Covid and Brexit seemed more important.

10 + 0 = 9 ?

I didn’t realize we were rolling out shitty vaccines in addition to the Pfizer and modern vaccines.

@aqua-letifer said in 10 things you probably don't know but should: @89th said in 10 things you probably don't know but should: #4 is concerning How so? Just the growing reliance by the poor on the government. Who knows, maybe it’s always been this way. To be clear, I’m not saying there shouldn’t be a safety net of some sort, or that there shouldn't be essential services for our fellow citizens who are the most vulnerable... It just would be nice to shift away from “the government will send me a check or pay my bills” mentality among far too many who truly can otherwise help it.

@george-k IIRC, once it's scanned into EPIC, it's searchable. I think.

@axtremus said in 1-60: Loser! False! He won 1 of them which means Biden’s really really big landslide win is now just a really big landslide win.

@axtremus said in Trump, The Illuminator: Trump has illuminated that the Republicans have no problem with budget deficits or executive overreach or double taxation, and “character” really does not matter to many who claim to be “Conservatives.” As dependable as the morning sun, you are.

@axtremus said in 2020 Bingo: @george-k said in 2020 Bingo: Fucking aqua get all fancy-schmancy with his coloring making us look like a bunch of amateurs. @Aqua-Letifer’s color scheme leaves much ambiguity. You cannot discerner whether it’s the black squares or the blue squares that indicate what he has done. The traditional Bingo circling has no such problem. Everyone saw the original before they saw mine, jackass, you're once again the only one confused.
