@1, if herd immunity is your goal, then I can assure you Joe Biden and Jay Inslee are not your guys this November.

@1: "But lower than Britain, France, Spain, Italy, and others with more restrictive policies."

This is an incredibly misleading statement. The only reason the UK imposed its lockdown--and the primary reason it is the USA of Europe (the poster child for what not to do) when it comes to COVID-19--was that it started out with a herd immunity approach, which proceeded to go disastrously wrong. But of course, you knew this and you decided to leave it out, because that's what trolls like you do.

Listen, GermanSausage, I've got to get back to work. So I'm going to let you have the last word with some sick burn that I'm sure will totally put me in my place.

Anyway, the only reason I was looking to comment here was because I was starting to scan through this post and saw "At this point, we must be close to the Prince of Darkness," and my first thought was, "Oh shit. Is Mudede doing Slog AM this morning?" And of course I went straight up to the byline.

That earthquake's location is a little west of the Nevada nuclear test range. Hi, China!

Cops and bikes story followed by a drunk pig story. That's Chuck for you.

Guess what is one thing that doesn't care about infections or plans?

Earthquakes.

You're living in a 9.0 zone, Ring of Fire denizens.

I can attest to the fact that pigs are fun to drink with.
They just love beer, and it doesn't take much- one or two beers and they are acting all silly running around and squealing in delight. Happy drunks.
Seems like the least we can do for them, being as how they only get 6 months to a year to live before we slaughter them.

@10, I only ate out (lunch and dinner). I hate home cooking.

15

@11: “ Getting infected confers the same immunity that getting a vaccine does.”

You’re wrong. We don’t know that. It’s a novel virus. The evidence so far suggests some level of antibody protection but there is a lot of variance and uncertainty.

From today’s NYT:
Sweden Stayed Open. A Deadly Month Shows the Risks.
By Lauren Leatherby and Allison McCannMay; 15, 2020

“Sweden’s outbreak has been far deadlier than those of its neighbors, but it’s still better off than many countries that enforced strict lockdowns.”

Excellent article
But comparing US to them is apples to zuchinni
Don’t forget to read the Comments.

@16: That’s also not true. There are different kinds of vaccines and they can calibrate an immunity response with attenuated or even inactivated versions.

Mudede, goddamnit--your writing is beautiful.

@13:

"I hate home cooking." = "I'm too lazy to cook."

23

Sweden's death rate may be higher but is it so much higher that they wish they would have sacrificed their economy to have it lower? I think Sweden will answer that by deciding whether to change course based on the current situation, available data, and public sentiment.

24

@19! I knew someone would say that. A sex worker is not at all in the same situation. The offer here is made with the direct threat of eviction. This is a one-way exertion of power.

25

@23

Not only is Sweden's death rate higher- by an order of magnitude, but its economy has been hit by the same degree of downturn as Norway and Finland.

So- bottom line: they've killed thousands of people to date- just to prove a point (which is that they're stubborn and value life less than their neighbors).

27

@19 Fuck you. Being asked to fuck your landlord in exchange for rent is most definitely rape. You can bet that landlords aren't asking their male tenants (especially any nasty obese male tenants) to fuck in exchange for rent.

28

@19: Being told to suck a landlord's dick or get evicted is coercion, and is at the very least sexual harassment.
I swear to god every time I think you've hit bottom you manage to go lower.

31

But doen't
a landLORD
have that inalienable
Right ro fuck his tenants?

Specially if they
cannot Pay
the Rent.

32

@29:

Considering they've probably never had sex - at least sex they didn't pay for - it's not all that surprising.

33

Handjob: two day's rent
Blowjob: two weeks
PIV: one month
Anal: 1.5 mos.

Trump is declaring victory over the virus even as cases spike. Why is he not visiting the "war zones," this "war-time" president? He should be made to go and see the piles of dead bodies and look in the eyes of every American whose loved one has died due to COVID-19.

How do you maintain dignity for the dead during a pandemic?

Meanwhile, all the states opening up today should circle June 1st on their calendars. Texas opened on May 1 and is seeing the consequences now.

Two weeks after allowing restaurants, movie theaters, retail stores, malls, museum and libraries to reopen May 1, 2020 with 25% capacity, Texas suffered its deadliest COVID-19 day on May 14 and the state also had the most new confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus in a 24-hour period. Texas reported 58 COVID-19 fatalities and 1,448 newly confirmed cases on Thursday.

@30

Do you realize that you just admitted that it was sexual harassment?

37

@30 Fuckin' yikes. It isn't just weird. It's threatening to put someone out on the street if they don't fuck for the rent. That extortion. That's predatory. That's a total lack of consent. It's psychotic. Weird is being awkward at someone you wanna get sexual with where if they say 'no', your reaction to that feeling garden variety rejected and not attempting to make them homeless.

38

@1

It is amazing to see how quickly you changed from a "liberal" to a "conservative" because you can't do whatever you want whenever you want.

It wasn't that long ago that you thought everyone deserved a living wage, and now you believe that if someone doesn't want to risk their life or finances to serve you a cup of coffee they deserve to be fired and go hungry.

No one is going to forget this.

39

German Salciccia, you've earned another Kurzgesagt video. Particularly 8:55 on herd immunity.

@27: A nasty obese male tenant might suit one or two landlords' sex extortion for rent quite well. It's a big world after all.

41

@33: You forgot fisting.

42

David is correct.

However, sexual extortion along with rape are considered sexual offenses which are felonies in some states. More info on WomensLaw.org.

Speaking of the Alienable Rights
of landLORDs (and the Investor Class)

From The Portland Mercury:

Lawsuit Accuses SE Portland Bar of Tolerating
Investor's Persistent Sexual Harassment of Staff

[Cooper] DuBois, the wealthy co-creator of a successful online gambling platform in Seattle, has poured money into the Liquor Store [bar and grill] since owner Ray Morrone opened its doors on SE Belmont in 2015.

According to . . . women and several other former employees, DuBois’ hefty investment in the burgeoning music venue gave him a free pass to spend drunken weekends at the bar physically and verbally harassing staff and patrons. So now, after staff say years of repeated complaints about DuBois’ conduct to the bar’s owner went ignored, they’re suing.

@41

In post #19 you suggested that it was "sex work", and you didn't mention sexual harassment until someone called you out on it.

Charles was being hyperbolic, and you were attempting to be facetious.

Perhaps the two of you should use more care in your choice of words in the future.

46

“Employees would come to me and say ‘Cooper was here last night and was wasted and wouldn’t leave me alone,’” said one of the former bar managers, who asked the Mercury to remain anonymous to protect her privacy. “When I’d tell [bar owner] ([Morrone]), I’d get the response, ‘That’s just the way he is, he paid for this bar, so he can do whatever he wants.’”

Peons. Always demanding their "rights."
Wake the Fuck UP
This is trump's
Amerikkka.

Get used to it

Trump is all about Trump. That’s always been true. For three years, though, Trump was protected from himself by the prosperity he inherited from others. Trump has squandered that prosperity, as he previously squandered the fortune bequeathed by his father. The consequences are here. The fairy tales Trump tells on Twitter will not conceal those consequences from the voters Trump needs.

They weren’t listening before. Now they are. And what they hear is not: Obama was mean to me. What they hear is: I cannot do this job.

I love when the "Its not rape if its not this very specific thing" dudes log on. Just a matter of time before the "age of consent is unconstitutional" bros chime in.

50

@49: It's really a matter of not applying the correct verb, and therefore the applicable law.

But I love how the "conflate meanings" crowd gets mad at accurate use of the English language.

52

Seriously, we're discussing semantics regarding landlords demanding sex from women who can't pay their rent?

Rape (defined): : unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly

Rape (legal definition - narrowed down to the most salient point): The victim's lack of consent is the crucial element.

The crime of rape generally refers to non-consensual sexual intercourse that is committed by physical force, threat of injury, or other duress.

So a landlord demanding sex in exchange for rent is unlawful and can be defined as rape as it is considered non-consensual sexual intercourse committed under circumstances of duress.

Fuck every man on this forum defending this as NBD.

53

According to the CDC (cdc.gov/covid19) Overall, covid19 cases that require hospitalization are 4.6 per 100,000 cases. That is a .0046% hospitalization rate. Of those 4.6 per 100,000 cases, 1.4% die or less than .014 people.

Please stop with the hyperbole, scaring people doesn't help. Try presenting the data and let people reach their own conclusions.

56

As they say, the law is the law. Rape:

“The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.”

The Data from Australia @53, is we have twenty six million people and less than a hundred dead. New Zealand, which went hard early, has a few dead. Yes, it came to us in late summer and we yet have to go thru winter. So. Much vigilance around. Borders to outside world closed indefinitely. Maybe a bubble with NZ and some Pacific countries will open up soon.
The data coming out of the US along with the gun toting maniacs storming Govt buildings, opening up society way too early and ignoring social distancing and mask wearing, is freaking the rest of the world out. Seeing bread lines because the Fed Govt can no longer hide its evil madness. Medical experts are no longer even allowed to say much.
Charles can do all the comparing he wants, truth is the USA is on its knees. And what the hell are you guys going to do about it, besides fight amongst yourselves.
Every one of you have to become a political activist, in whatever way you can.
Also, strengthen your own immune systems, that is the line of defence we all have. There may never be a vaccine, like with HIV/AIDS, meds might be found to manage it, not vaccinate against it. Adaption is part of staying alive.

@57
It's depressing as hell

@59 -- Let me get this straight

You keep RE-peating:
it KILLS THE VIRUS.

You mention Virus FIVE TIMES.

your 'doktor's'
MAGICAL Elixar
KILLS all Viruses?

Is THAT what you're SAY-ing?
It'll kill the CORONAVIRUS Too?

A pretty SUBSTANTIAL CLAIM
if you asked me. Our
WASHINGTON STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL
does NOT LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE try to TRICK OTHER PEOPLE IN HIS STATE. he LIKES TO SEND THEM TO JAIL. Will you be taking the Magic Elixar there? Because I hear YOU DON'T WANNA BE IN JAIL IN A .P A N D E M I C.

I thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had HERPES virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how DR PAUL ODUKU cured them from HERPES virus, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after 21 days. Within 21 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR PAUL ODUKU because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through same situation worry no more and contact DR PAUL ODUKU via odukuherbalremedies@gmail.com or through his WhatsApp +2349064430408 https://naturalherbalremedyblog.wordpress.com

Knowing that you have HERPES can be one of the most difficult experiences you go through in life. You may feel scared, sad or even angry – this is OK, and a completely natural part of coping with something that can be life changing.
It will probably take a while for the news to sink in.​
My name is Sean Archer and i am from the United States.​
I remember spending so much money buying drugs like OTC painkillers - acetaminophen or ibuprofen from hospitals hoping that i will be cured, but all to no avail. I contacted so many doctors and they prescribe Antiviral, such as Acyclovir., which they indeed tried their best but was unable to provide for me a possible cure, luckily i saw a comment about a herbal doctor, (Dr. kokobi) online. ​
I then contacted him (Dr. kokobi) through his email, After much chat and inquiry with the doctor, i decided to take a leap of faith because i have nothing to lose. i contacted him, he send me a Herbal Medicine through FEDEX courier Service after our chat, and he gave me guidelines on how i am to take it. I followed all procedures as instructed, and after 13 days i went back for a check up, and i was tested NEGATIVE of Genital Herpes. ​
I just want to encourage all individuals out there living with Genital Herpes, That there is still a huge chance of you getting well again. So all you need to do is to contact me via email:kokobiherbalremedycentre@gmail.com or whatsApp him @ +254746618873 you can also visit his website @ https://kokobiherbalremedycentre.weebly.com
