CDC reverses course on testing asymptomatic people for Covid-19, again
The move comes nearly a month after the agency was widely criticized after quietly tweaking its guidance.

Stop press: the bone spurs have rejected him.
Objection: smoked chicken is one of the best barbecue meats. I move you strike that bit. Otherwise I am aligned.
Minor clarification: Barbecue chicken might be good, but he was wearing an NC Barbecue apron. Our barbecue is exclusively pork
I have to admit, the continuing list of high level GOP ops and shills who are infected reaffirms my faith in ‘karma’ ( for lack of a better term) and gives me a warm, glowly feeling that there just might be some comeuppance for bad behavior in this life.
Hicks, the POTUS, Conway, Christie, the Supreme Court nomination panel…
I don’t feel bad for any of them; they’re ‘reaping the whirlwind’ of all that foul wind they’ve sowed.
This precisely! Chicken may make great barbecue, but it’s not NC barbecue.
please don’t mock contact tracing programs. It’s more cost effective than testing everyone all the time, and helps prevent people from infecting others in the presymptomatic phase.
If Republicans actually used contact tracing apps, I’d love to see them when Trump’s actual positive date was entered in. It’d be like John Wick 2 when the open contract was issued.
My cousins in Ireland are passing around the meme " our thoughts and prayers are with the virus at this difficult time."

Didn’t the CDC say just a few weeks ago that testing asymptomatic people was unnecessary, and thus contact tracing was pointless? I’m sure I remember that

Ah, it was just more froth in the churn of nonsense
My thoughts are with president trump, and I hope he stays positive at this difficult time.
Canada got our first (and only) female prime minister, Kim Campbell back in 1993. It was only for a few months. She ran for election and lost by rather a lot
Ya, I liked Kim too…I don’t think she should shoulder much of the blame for the loss, having inherited the blazing dumpster from Mulroney . Was she generally disliked? Not that I recall; the media was a bit awkward with her though.

That’s how I remember it, but it was a loooong time ago (Cenozoic era, in 2020 time) so I doubt my memory is at all accurate. I really thought she was gonna win that election though, and was quite disappointed when she didn’t. Anyways, I’m dragging us off topic here.
(long thread)
It is indeed a good rant (by August J. Pollok) –
I have lived my entire life in a media narrative that Republicans are simply not supposed to face any consequences for their actions and what we have been witnessing for the last 48 hours is the result of a media completely unequipped to handle exactly that happening.
I think that’s why there’s such a cognitive dissonance between how punditry is reacting to this versus, well, basically the rest of the planet. Look at the backlash to that pathetic Twitter announcement. People are done. They are fucking done with this bullshit.
The pieces are rapidly fitting together to the conclusion that the administration, their existing ignorance to all of this aside, likely went to the debate knowing they may be exposed, hid it, and then didn’t tell Biden.
I know I’m screaming at a brick wall when I say this, but how is there a partisan debate about something like that. That is criminal recklessness. That is at best incompetence and at worst actual insanity.
And because of the media narrative I have lived in my entire life, the reaction from our elite punditry is to bow our heads and offer well wishes to these violent, criminal lunatics we all know did this to themselves, and to us.
There is a lot I have been laughing about the last few days, none more so than a talking point about how “this may help Trump.” You fucking pathetic loser for even thinking that.
Our punditry is the only entity in this country that wants this to go on. That wants this to continue. That wants to pretend that somehow any of this is normal or acceptable. In the real world, people are done with this. Fucking. Done.
I really do think we may have reached, for lack of a better term here, peak bullshit. The bullshit river has overflown. The bullshit damn has been breached, and now the bullshit is just flooding into the city and the people are just done with the bullshit.
I nearly dropped my coffee cup, like at the end of usual suspects style, hearing someone on TV this morning calling this an “October surprise.” This is the October most expected and obvious thing ever.
I am one of 100 million Americans who has surrendered so much for the last six months to try to maintain the levees of the bullshit river, all while these guys were holding a fucking boat parade on it.
They have robbed us of our lives for six months. Of our jobs. Of our health. Of our families. Of our joy. And you are telling us not to laugh now? Are you kidding? I am vibrating so hard I cannot be detected by speed cameras.
“I’m so positive. They say they’ve never seen anyone as positive as me…”
I don’t know who they are, but I like the cut of their jib.

I don’t want anyone to get this shitty virus. But still, so angry
I don’t know what freaks me out more, these tweets or that they all seem to be coming from the future…
No typos or made-up words. Not him.
