Regarding the above, it's interesting how the media have sculpted the consciousness of average Americans, framing the debate as a stark moral choice between "go back to work and murder everybody" and "go back to work and save lives by stimulating the economy." Feeling manipulated? Are the issues really so easy to delineate?
Pelosi is doubtless busy lining her vagina with ice cream from her vulgarly massive fridge.
Citing conservative TV talking head Tucker Carlson, Tim Pool advises caution and skepticism regarding Tara Reade. Carlson has noted that we need to apply the same standards here as were applied in the Brett Kavanaugh situation. Note the suspiciously opportune timing of Reade's claims, and also note that there's no direct evidence to confirm what happened: all we have are flimsy circumstantial bits of hearsay. Reade's testimony is the most direct "evidence" we have, and we have no way to confirm its truth. Pool praises Carlson for being consistent in his principles, quite unlike the goalpost-moving liberals, whose principles change with the shifting of the wind. (Cf. liberal willingness to pillory Kavanaugh on far less "evidence" than exists for Tara Reade's case compared to liberal dismissiveness when faced with Tara Reade.)
So... the Jennifer Aniston mask melts away, and we're left with meth-head Fabio. Wow.

ReplyDeleteWell, actually, "quarantine" is separating people who are not currently sick but who are suspected to have been exposed to a disease. The purpose is to get one step ahead of the disease by removing from the population people who might be carriers of the disease before they become symptomatic. The end result is that both infected and non-infected individuals get put in quarantine--and it can seem just as unfair and unjust on an individual level if it turns out you never had the disease. (The separation of infected persons from the rest of the population is called "isolation.")
The problem in the US, given that COVID-19 can be spread by asymptomatic carriers, is that the US does not have either effective testing or contact tracing. So, like you said, the issues aren't really that easy to delineate. Things are rarely black and white (or black and yellow, as the case my be).
Yeah, I'm aware of the quarantine/isolation distinction, but I didn't want to ruin this particular joke by being pedantic about it. (True, I've been a meme-pedant in the past. Guilty as 자지.)
