    28th July


    "(CNN)A house party in New Jersey was so packed with partygoers openly flouting the state's Covid-19 crowd guidelines this weekend that it took police officers over 5 hours to break it up.

    The bust occurred on Sunday at around 8:30 p.m., when police officers arrived at a house in Jackson that was being rented out through Airbnb, according to a statement by Captain Steven Laskiewicz posted on the Jackson Police Department's Facebook page."

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    The same thing happened in Chatham Massachusetts on Cape Cod

    Ten people have reportedly tested positive for the coronavirus after attending a house party on Cape Cod with between 30 and 50 people earlier this month.

    Chatham's health director told the Globe that the cluster of cases all appear to be related to a July 12 party involving a group of people who work together in the restaurant industry. The attendees were apparently not wearing masks, and all but one of those who tested positive was from out of town.

    Right wing America in a nutshell from an Australian.

    You are not the boss of me and my google is better than your degree. It's why a doctor gets death threats for example.

    and as an ally for the President and Moscow Mitch

    Ok, 1st one says 14 people were infected from a family gathering in mid June, let's say 15th June. 2nd one says 10 people were infected from a party attended by 30 to 50 people

    And the US has seen an extra 2,100,000 people test positive for the virus since 15th June

    So those two stories cover 24 of those 2,100,000

    Shrugs...and?

    Fauci said hate mail. Show us one of those hate mail letters he got, so we can see what they are angry about. Might just be angry the 6ft rule he has been pushing was always inadequate, as an example

    Your moving of the goal posts is quite tiring and it shows how little of an argument you have.

    as you famously say here yawn

    Last time the Choice was between Hillary and The Donald. This time Vladimir would probably prefer Bend Over Biden in the top job

    You are attempting to discredit and marginalize a "left wing" argument while not ever arguing any point made because you can't.

    The death threats are not bad you say then it will be "it's not that many" and so on. Eventually we will reach a point where I have to admit you have a point then all my prior points have to be meaningless.

    Probably the kind that make people dead... Seems to be the common denominator for a death threat.

    You hate the guy, are you sure you didn't send him a few?

    The GOP is the party of anger. AOC gets the same kind of threats. Nationalism is a mostly Republican thing. Almost all the people who feel the country is "under attack" are on the right wing. Sprinkle in some 2nd amendment culture where revolt and war is the norm for political rivals and you get death threats for a doctor who is apparently a pawn for the Democratic party. He lies about a deadly virus that the entire world also says is real just to offend dear leader Trump. They hate America the country they and their their families live in so much they make it al up. It's only right you defend the nation and kill the doctor.

    This is how the militia right wing thinks.

    I don’t get all the hand wringing about masks or any other specific covid countermeasures. The reality is all of the measures have some reduction in the probability of infection...so intelligent people would do their best with all of them and not worry about the specifics of masks, social distancing, hand washing etc. Since there is no medical treatment or vaccine available now, doing without the countermeasures is not very smart.....and verging on criminal in terms of transmitting covid to others.
