  1. If the vaccine was 100% effective, I'd be fine with this - it would just be nature "fixing the glitch" ... Unfortunately, if vaccine effectiveness drops because of continuing mutations (which may exacerbated because of the extent of transmission), good people will end up suffering as well. Not as cool. I guess nature is doing the best it can.
  2. Was trying to figure out how to embed this, but I ain't skilled in the interwebz. In any event, here's the link to the one that goes through noon ET ... https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?msg=Time left until Trump leaves office&p0=263&year=2021&month=1&day=20&hour=12&min=0&sec=0
  3. Yup - that one and this one are my two favorite ...
  4. The long-term effects of COVID on our healthcare system I suspect are going to be immense. Can't recall if this had been mentioned above, but one doctor had mentioned that 3/4 of asymptomatic folks have bad chest x-rays. I'm sure glad we were shooting for herd immunity the old-fashioned way of just trying to spread the virus as fact as we could. https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2021/01/14/asymptomatic-covid-lung-damage/
  5. Doesn't look like Tucker was expecting this sentiment from Brit ...
  6. Hopefully cancer will finish Rush off soon as well ...
  7. The Buttercream Dream and Trae Crowder are totally therapeutic when I find myself getting a little ragey. Both are worth a follow.
  8. A 75-year-old black woman, no less. Fuck those pieces of shit. Someone should be charged, but they'll undoubtedly just hide behind the fact that she could have contracted the virus anywhere (mainly because the GOP has ensured that the virus would spread far and wide ...).
  9. Agree with Cooter. I think the question remains what standard has to be met to prove being "engaged in insurrection" - i.e., does it need to be proven in court?
  10. Is that dude Cornyn's love child? Look at the 16-head on that guy - gotta be related.
  11. I wonder if Trump has already asked Pence to provide him with a signed pardon in advance of his resignation and Pence told him to get fucked. After yesterday, I suspect Trump may realize that getting a pardon from Pence ain't a sure thing.
  12. I sure am glad that COVID-19 disappeared right after the election ... Don't know if you guys had seen this yet, but it's an interesting visualization of where hospitals are under strain. https://carlsonschool.umn.edu/mili-misrc-covid19-tracking-project Apparently, >10% of total hospital beds being used for COVID patients is concerning, and over 20% represents extreme strain. Looks like North and East Texas + SA are getting pounded pretty good, with Houston and Austin following behind. SoCal and Arizona are just getting turbofucked right now (like 40% of total beds / 50-60% of ICU beds devoted to COVID). Hopefully we don't get that bad here in Texas.
  13. You know they're all going to find their way to "Rudy's computer guy" for analysis for further Kompromat, right?
  14. Yup - Kornacki was saying that they were expecting 20k more votes from Dekalb, which Ossoff has been winning +65%. When that net 13k votes hit, it should be clear where this is heading.
  15. Absolutely this. If there is going to be Civil War II, it's going to kick off in the next couple of weeks.
  16. I saw that Austin was projecting that they would run out of ICU beds by the middle of January. Maybe they had a peek at today's ICU admissions. Stay safe, everyone.
  17. I'm hoping this is a backlog / "we forgot to count any COVID cases over the last week" kind of thing, but Worldometers shows Texas with over 28,600 new cases today (with Bexar and Travis #s yet to hit). For reference, the highest new case count prior to today on Worldometers was 22,696. Needless to say, but if you're in Texas, stay home as much as you can and mask up if you have to go out. January is going to be shitty.
  18. I agree that the Democrats could use some work on their branding efforts. Not a huge fan of "Radical Right," given how the Rs have been beating the "Radical Left" drum for so long - it feels too tit-for-tat. I'm sure the Lincoln Project guys could come up with something catchy. At their core, the Trump enablers are just traitors to their country and whatever ideals they once claimed to espouse.
  19. Yeah, this reminds me of the first 10 minutes of every zombie movie ever made. You'd hope that the people making policy are being thoughtful about the potential implications, but I think we all know that that's just not the case right now ... perhaps it's time to stock up on shot guns, hatchets, etc., just in case?
  20. Just another reason why Atlas and the anti-mask crowd are fucking the rest of us - the more coronavirus floating around, the more likely it is that a mutation may pop up that hits the evolutionary jackpot and creates vaccine resistance. And there is going to be a metric shit-ton of coronavirus floating around in the U.S. over the next month or two responding to evolutionary pressure from the vaccine. Cross your fingers ...
  21. This is a bit disconcerting ...
  22. #1, but if there were any justice in the world ...
  23. Didn't realize she's here in Austin ... / no stalker /
  24. Don't both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines require 2 doses? Maybe that's just an imprecise quote, but then again, maybe he's factoring in the fact that <50% of the population are going to want to be vaccinated right away - ya know, cuz 'Murica ...
