So far, strong indications that the latest mild increase in Houston is concave down. That would point to a gradual ascent to a lesser, rounded-off maximum.

Sorry. Everyone still dies. But probably not from COVID. And probably not anytime soon.

Sorry, I don't understand... Can we get a chart for that?

Seriously, I'm half convinced that the twitter generation has never considered the fact that they're going to die.

When you added in the twist that it might be the glamorous lifestyle at crowded in-demand locations that would do them in, I think they lost their North star.

They've never considered the fact that on a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone is 0.

My wife and I are going to get tested leading up to Thanksgiving. Her grandma is 85 years old and not in great shape. We're getting the sniffles here or there - seasonal allergies, I'm sure - but we need to be COVID negative before being comfortable spending time with Grandma.

I'm sure there will be plenty more like us.

I have friends that quarantine for 2 weeks before seeing their geezer relatives but this is a much easier approach. I got tested for free yesterday at the Memorial Park van and got results today. Similar time frame when I did the testing by Minute Maid.

Now hopefully I'm still negative when I get pre-travel testing on Friday....

Didn't know she had one, but I'll take a shot at it:

- COVID bad! Government good!
- Numbers are above 0...threat level RED!!!!
- No Thanksgiving for you selfish people who want others to die. Ignore her spending time with her family.
- Boots will be spending his Thanksgiving in a hotel with Swiper

My wife and I got free rapid tests done at Walgreens a couple weeks back to get cleared for our trip to Maui. I have no idea how it was free other than I'm sure they're operating under a grant of some kind that is assuredly coming from the taxes I'm paying anyways.

Trip to Maui was great.

the fact that they can't come up with more practical advice than that just tells me they want people to be miserable

how hard would it be to recommend an outside lunch or dinner, maybe set up a box fan to really increase ventilation. be especially careful around older family members. maybe recommend getting tested three days before.

it's like dehumanization is the goal

This is what is ultimately the most frustrating and maddening thing to me. You have stuff like Jake Tapper's comment on CNN the other day "Well I guess Christmas isn't possible this year." It's like there's a singular focus on the virus and there is nothing else for some. I've never seen anything like it. People have lost their ability to critically think.

It is factual that people can control their own exposure to risky situations almost completely. The idea that they won't and thus strain healthcare resources has already been disproved in places where they reacted too slowly to have had any effect. Are the hospitals busy, yes, this happens from time to time with triage tents in the parking lots during flu season, and it's a serious issue deserving attention and resources when it gets to that.

She ought to read up on what happened in Peru, but they fly on by that pretending that the ideas that no one recommended before March that haven't worked in the last eight months are the only way you're not an immoral ghoulish monster.

it's like first principles of public health were completely thrown out the window

YOU CAN'T DEMORALIZE THE PEOPLE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP AND HAVE THEM STAY LISTENING TO YOU

it's the twitter-fication of everything. the goal of all discourse is to punish the rubes and have them eat **** and take the blame. it's not to build trust and solidarity in the midst of a crisis. it's not to provide rewards to keep morale up. it's doom scrolling and punching down.

our public-facing elites are complete clowns.

I don't know if it's a proper response or not but I just got that dumbass alert come across my phone and the rage boiling up inside me at this utter stupidity is just not healthy.

Is it actually spreading "rapidly "?

I know it's bad in El Paso and Dallas is worsening but we haven't seen some huge uptick in Houston have we?

Protests, marches, and giant funerals were cool. But don't y'all go eating turkey together and talking at the same time. **** that. I'll be hosting a peaceful protest next Thursday. Turkey and football for all.

Hey Dora. F*** OFF you dumb F***ING *ITCH. Your cherry picked stats are mind-numbingly obvious and I will never take orders from someone who has never worked a real job in their entire life.

So no gatherings surely means no fans at the Texans game right?

That's what is so stupid about this code red BS. Fans at Texans games. Hell they just had the Houston Open two weeks ago.

None of it makes any sense.
