Finally you admit what has been obvious to those of us in the reality based world for some time now!

But seriously, I will never expect you to ever once admit that a republican ever did anything wrong or even suboptimal. You're simply not capable of that.

Give me a specific and I'll probably surprise you, well if it's not a figment of your imagination. You usually just complain about Republicans, as if whatever word, deed or action has gotten your goat is part of a group action supported by all Republicans. You also misrepresent many of your complaints, I'm guessing as a result of a headline you're read somewhere designed to do just that, get your goat. I'll always point out that error, mainly as a public service, and you can continue to blame me for not going along with your misrepresentation or your grouping of myself and all the other fine Republicans I know as people who want others to die, as racists and homophobes or whatever other baseless accusation you love to make. If you don't do those things, I won't challenge you. It's simple as that.

But back to the topic at hand, SO has tested positive for the covids this afternoon after waking up with a sore throat this morning. Two self tests and one state testing site test, all positive. Given his multiple underlying conditions I'm concerned, but not panicked since he's vaxxed with three rounds of Pfizer. (He had an appointment to get the second booster next week, but I guess he won't be doing that now...)

Since I got my second booster last saturday, and have no other comorbidities other than being over 50, I am about as well protected as can be.

I was supposed to go to NYC next week for my work team's Away Day. Boss has left it to me to decide what to do. Since I can't effectively mask and still participate (there's a whole office happy hour and a team dinner at a fancy restaurant) I don't think I can go in good conscience, even if I were to test negative Tuesday morning before I head to the airport. I will have been spending the whole weekend at home with an infected person so a positive test might not happen until after I get there. And one of our team members is 8 months pregnant. I wouldn't be able to live with the result if she went home from the week's events with covid and then had an adverse situation involving her first child.

Hard to deny... today with the lying republicans all in the news... McCarthy and Taylor Green. There are only a few good actual republicans left. The others are sheep. Sickening to say the least. Patriots, my a$$. Herbgeek was spot on.

Actually you ignore ever serious point anyone makes about a republican and then poo poo the ones that have at least vaguely plausible deniability. And anyone that honestly thinks that the republicans aren't engaged in pretty significant homophobia currently is laughable. Sad, but laughable.

Maybe you picked up covid when you got your latest booster and gave it to him. You should have stayed home under the covers until, you know, the sCiEnCe says it's safe to live life.

My recently second-boosted brother and his wife (both in their 70s) got on a plane for a weekend trip last week and came home with Covid. Both started with sore throats. They were able to get the anti-viral pills but said the side effects of those (six pills a day) were worse than the Covid symptoms. Ugh!

There you go again with your typically flawed Republican logic. I haven’t been out in public since Saturday. SO has been going to his office in a busy hotel every day this week. I’m negative for covid. Smart people would not come to the conclusion that I gave it to him. But I get it. With stupid ****ing Republican logic what you suggested might make sense.

Seriously you aren’t this stupid are you?

Edited to add. Sorry. I thought it was Alan making this absurd post. You need to up your troll game. I’m well aware that you really are this stupid.

And thank you for your concern about SO. Even though I’m sure you think his potential death would be deserved since he has comorbidities like diabetes and being a cancer survivor I imagine you will deem his hopefully likely survival as somehow justified. Your concern is touching. So has your son started talking to you again or does he still realize that you’re a bitch and he’s better off avoiding you at all costs?

Good grief, JP1--I don't blame you for choosing to stay home under the circumstances. From what I've seen, anyone who dares stick their noses out of the bunker is bound to get infected. Best wishes to your SO for a smooth recovery!

Thank you. From the time that vaccines became available I’ve not been worried about myself. I’m healthy and should be fine if I get infected. SO is a different story. Yes, he’s fully vaxxed and boosted. But given his issues I’m still worried. His test results today have not been a happy circumstance. Hopefully this will all turn out well. He’s been working with his doc and will hopefully be getting a prescription for paxlovid tomorrow.
