@steve_friedman @BNOFeed @ThePreparedHom1 Home RAT tests have a high false _negative_ rate but a very low false _positive_ rate.

@kareem_carr @ChrisAlvino I graduated with a major in English, with several honors and prizes, and a minor in Computer Science. I could not choose between my passions and did not really have to. I’ve been a software engineer for almost 35 years, and continue to do technical writing.

@emgbar @oxbits He’ll probably deduct any stimulus money a person was already paid from the $10,000 and say it was only supposed to be $10,000 _total_… kinda like the way he said $2,000 checks would go out immediately.

@RonPlacone If conservatives were capable of interpreting lyrics they would never have adopted "Born in the USA" as some sort of patriotic anthem.

@1776yall @zaptrapped @greg_travis Funny, the local businesses in my area that pivoted to support takeout and curbside are doing fine. Those that were run by minimizers who refused to support COVID-cautious customers… a lot of them didn’t.

@primalpoly @AJEnglish @scotthortonshow Why don’t you go to Gaza and ask around, Geoffrey, if you think these numbers are so far off?

I only got developed persistent long COVID symptoms after what was likely my third infection. Don’t get reinfected.

Just got this message — bedbound with #LongCovid after 3rd infection, but no issues from first 2. One of the most important questions to how we manage covid moving forward is understanding how often reinfections lead to LC — so far the research & anecdotes to date are alarming.

@SarkaAaron @Dierdra03 @janeosanders @JoyAnnReid Note that you have just changed your debating points again, a sure sign that you know that you are losing. You have shifted to the idea that Sanders has "shitty gun control policies." And now, added "shouting down," which was not part of your original claim.

@gewolke @porter_debby @sethwainer @gooner4evr @LOLGOP My private liberal arts school was about $12,000 a year when I graduated in 1989. I was mostly funded by scholarships, my parents paid 2 or 3 thousand a year, and I took on about $3,600 debt. Today it is about $60,000. That is a far bigger increase than inflation can account for.

@CovidDataReport Very strange. Food poisoning would (at least by bacteria) generally would not create symptoms nearly this fast, even botulism. This sounds more like a toxin in the food or the venue.

@HerbsandDirt @hithisismira @IanJohn37337084 Ah, I see. You only wanted people who agree with you that autism and ADD didn’t exist back then to respond. Good luck with that. I’ve always been autistic. The term wasn’t widely used in the 1970s when I was in grade school. I got labeled in other ways.

@Carl_3rdgenvet @MollyJongFast Huh, it didn’t occur to me that Molly might be related to the famous writer Erica Jong, until I read through this tedious thread and the follow-up comments. But thanks for giving me another reason to follow Molly, that’s cool!
