"I'm not a medical professional but since people with vaccines can pass COVID without symptoms, I'd rather be around people where I know they're sick" - spamlet Dec 8, 13:51 13
- Before the election, acknowledging COVID meant admitting Trump fucked up. Now, defeating COVID makes Biden look better so we can’t have that. - Tim Dec 8, 15:28 1
  - as much as I don't understand supporting the conman...I really don't get dying for him, pushing your children in front of that train. -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 8, 19:21

  - I guess I'd blow her mind that I tested positive without symptoms. - spamlet Dec 8, 13:56 5
    - Lots of people who have few symptoms go on to long COVID, which basically leaves them disabled. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 14:58
    - There really seems to be this weird streak going where people would rather fix a problem after it happens than stop it from happening in the first - Reagen Dec 8, 13:59 3
      - They refuse to take a vaccine that isn't experimental, but take monoclonal antibodies that are experimental. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 15:15

- I thought it was like a one-off thing, but they've held steady at 62 for like two months now. - The Allfather Dec 8, 13:38
- yeah that demo stat is crazy. But Raw is also pulling 50 year olds in the demo and the E doesn't want that. You know what they're doing at live shows? - Remlik Dec 8, 13:38 2
