@TaLoN132 viral load... is definitely a factor in severity I believe for whatever little that's worth

death rates going down I'm not sure why exactly, can be a combination of earlier testing and treatment, and also the virus mutating to milder strains which has happened with previous epidemics

I got H1N1 too and it hit me much worse than this, genuinely feared for my life

for some reason, we didn't panic then

and at its worst, it hit many people

@nachik, you just advanced to level 9!

It's a good excuse to not have to hang around people too long. I'm best experienced in small doses - it's good to know your own shortcomings, I suppose.

we had 100s of thousands of people with long term sequels for H1N1

nobody even talks about it

I find it very weird that there is such strict control of the narrative and it genuinely creates distrust

here we have these official pressers with the PM and health experts, given a lot of importance

and they say stuff that directly contradicts their own previous advice, and we can't even point it out openly for fear of retribution

and it's not like many people think it's not a real virus or it's not serious for some demographics

in the area were I live, exactly one year ago it was illegal to cover your face

@nachik agree...

all very strange

All too convenient

the streets where I live are completely covered by CCTV

Canary Wharf, South Quay, Poplar areas

Poor guy https://www.cbsnews.com/news/joe-bidens-doctor-says-he-suffered-hairline-fracture-in-foot-after-he-slipped-while-playing-with-dog/#app

you would have been fined by simply covering your face, and now you are expected to even outside

As Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, adamantly denied there was evidence of widespread voter fraud in the state, Perdue and Loeffler called on him to resign, ostensibly in an effort to curry favor with Trump. Collins also criticized Raffensperger, igniting an unexpected feud among the top Georgia officials.

“We strengthened signature match. We helped train election officials on GBI signature match — which is confirmed twice before a ballot is ever cast. Failed candidate Doug Collins is a liar — but what’s new?” Raffensperger wrote in a Facebook post earlier this month. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/527549-five-things-to-know-about-georgias-senate-runoffs

I'm liking this Raffensperger fellow more and more

@meglide they all look like bank robbers from the past based solely off the picture.

Wait so Raffensberger is the good guy now

it does fit a theory from when Trump distanced himself from Sidney Powell

that she was going to bring some strong charges against Republicans in Georgia

for me yes

@meglide it's not a crypto-dem-repo ?

Interesting

Well trump folks are not fans

I was ambivalent, between possible disrepute from the charges and that theory

now it looks like that was a strong factor

and those folks are about to hand the Senate to the Democrats

@meglide please say he hasn't found the spiritual messaging link to Q?

I actually can’t wait to see what happens in the runoff’s, I mean only if they lose the senate. That would be just amazing

it was in Utah and someone took it already

Kraken eats it’s own tail

talking to Americans it's a bit annoying that some of them really root so hard for some outcome

and cannot separate that bias from their judgement of the legal situation

I'm currently trusting foreign prediction markets the most
