  - That's the least accurate, but not by much. He's got the FBI and DOJ doing his dirty work, but the 2018 election meant Dems in the House could do some - TWuG Jun 21, 19:43 1
    - they tried but the WH got away with NOT responding to subpeanas and nothing happened. -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 21, 20:04

    - yeah, there was no reason to think he wouldn't be terrible, but I hoped anyway. -- nm - mafic Jun 21, 19:55 2
      - There was a small chance it would be the chaotic neutral presidency, but that disappeared quickly. -- nm - Tim Jun 21, 20:22

  - This administration has to be the most toxic of workplaces -- nm - ty97 Jun 21, 19:14 1

  - He looks like the character they use on Sons of Anarchy to show when they've gone too far. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 19:08
Watchmen: Watched. Grade: A. -- nm - Mop Jun 21, 18:12
Seeing the D.L. Hughley incident I wonder about my fainting spell back in February. They weren't testing for Covid-19 back then. - Meg Jun 21, 18:10 6
- It's strange to me the way testing availability varies from state to state. In NY antibody testing is readily available to anyone who wants. - ty97 Jun 21, 18:19 4
  - "States' Rights!" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 21, 18:59
  - Antibody test is easy because it is just a blood draw -- nm* - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 21, 18:31 1

So Loosi or anyone else who knows, since I was just exposed today, how long should I wait to get tested? few days? a week? -- nm - Jovian Jun 21, 17:45 15
- It’s going to be okay. I’m thinking good healing thoughts for you both -- nm - Epiphany Eggs and Bacey Jun 21, 20:06
- I'm sending good thoughts to you and your dad -- nm - crash davis Jun 21, 18:50
- false negatives 100% of the time on day of exposure, 40% after 4 days. I'd say go twice if possible? once after ~1 week, once after 2 weeks. - mafic Jun 21, 18:30
- Bow, why do you say you were exposed? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 21, 18:27 7
  - went to visit my Dad today. And after I got home (like 30 minutes after) he called and told me he was just called by the county and he was positive. - Jovian Jun 21, 18:34 1

        What are the chances of a false positive? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 21, 19:01 1
        
        Almost zero. It is a PCR test. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 21, 19:28
- I would say five days, unless severe symptoms start to present. And I'd self-isolate/quarantine as much as possible. - Beryllium Jun 21, 18:14
- Area of debate as we still don't fully know. But this article from American College of Cardiology says at least 5 days. -- (edited) - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 21, 18:09
- I would say 3 days or so. Maybe go test on Thu? (NM) - Marlowe Jun 21, 17:48

        avocados self-pollinate. flowers open twice over two days. first as female, second as male. trees can take like 5 years before producing fruit though. - mafic Jun 21, 18:42
