About a week before the Great Corona Toilet Paper Hoarding, I bought a $35 bidet off of amazon.

Currently sold out.

Was really good timing on my part, considering.

Anyway, just installed it, and gave it a test drive.

My b-hole feels pristine, and used 1/3 as much TP. It's a Pandemic Miracle.

Worst, most dishonest clickbait headline of the day, or did I miss some other relevant information because I stopped reading right there?
More clickbait for you
“Our study provides the first clear evidence of a link between SARS-CoV-2 infection and this inflammatory condition, and we hope it will help doctors around the world as we try to get to grips with this unknown virus,” said Lorenzo D’Antiga, lead author of the study from the Hospital Papa Giovanni XXIII in Bergamo, Italy, in a statement.
Probably just lying to get press.

Early stage vaccine data is positive.
Moderna’s closely watched early-stage human trial for a coronavirus vaccine produced Covid-19 antibodies in all 45 participants, the biotech company announced Monday.

Each participant was assigned to receive a 25 microgram, 100 mcg or 250 mcg dose, with 15 people in each dose group. Study participants received two doses of the potential vaccine via intramuscular injection in the upper arm approximately 28 days apart. Data on a second dose was not available for the 250 mcg group, the company said.

At day 43, or two weeks following the second dose, levels of binding antibodies in the 25 mcg group were at the levels generally seen in blood samples from people who recovered from the disease, the company said. Antibodies in the 100 mcg had antibodies that “significantly exceeded levels” in recovered patients.

The vaccine also produced neutralizing antibodies against Covid-19 in at least eight participants, the company said. Four participants were assigned to receive a 25 microgram dose, while the other four received 100 mcg. Levels of neutralizing antibodies were at or above levels in blood samples, the company said. Data on neutralizing antibodies for the other participants were not yet available, Moderna said.
All 45 participants are now autistic, however.

Maybe it hasn't been long enough for "long term"? Maybe it's just showing underlying problems that people already had but only became aware of due to the virus? I dunno, didn't read it.

It's producing scaring in lungs like CF patients get. That has been know since way back in the beginning. I posted that article because the long term effects of the virus have barely been discussed, only the deaths. Now go google how long CF patients live.

But who the fuck knows anymore? CNN has constant headlines about how dangerous it is between their headlines about Trump and Fox News. Meanwhile, the Fox side claims the whole thing is an overblown case of the sniffles.

So is it about 1% fatal and some % seriously life shortening?

That's bad, maybe not CNN levels of bad. Early signs of vaccine response seems a good place to be for the 12-18 month timeline right??

Fox News is back all-in on it being overblown, and that's just the "responsible" right wing media. I was driving in my car and that Savage guy came on the radio - I was floored. So much anti-science!! And then they he would run commercials for herbal supplements to boost your immune system at the break. "Science is fake, but hey! have you heard of how fish oil gives you boners and cures cancer??:"

Both sides are shockingly frustrating.

Yep.

As are our leaders. All they had to do from the get go was act as one, instead of state by state, city by city, and so on. "Hey everybody, there's a really nasty bug out there. We're going to shut everything down for 3 weeks so we can ensure hospitals can keep up when this breaks out. After that, we need you to wear facemasks, stay about 6 feet apart, wash your hands a lot, and don't touch your face."

Instead we get people on the left screaming about how we need to shut everything down forever, and morons on the right claiming this is an attack on their constitutional rights. Added bonus, both sides pointing to each other as the problem.

The fact that our "top two" news outlets have reported the "facts" of this virus so differently is all you need to know about modern journalism.

Anti-lockdown peeps were celebrating FL and GA's dropping C-19 rate after they reopened. It was a huge hit among the right wing FB peeps I know.

Turns out, both states are fudging the numbers.

CDC claims Trump putting politics ahead of science.

Zero doubt about that, but I also have zero doubt every politician is doing that in some way. End of the day, this shit sucks, but people gotta eat.

Cases climbing in 18 states.

CNN predicts change in the world order.

That article is a lot of Trump bashing, which is what you expect from CNN, and even bashes Trump for doing and not doing. They, literally, give him zero options to be hailed for doing a good thing.

(I really wish we had the ability to see what a Dem would have done as president during C-19. Aside from being a gigantic asshole on Twitter and in press conferences, what actual policies would he/she have enacted that would have been different?)

I found it interesting in its detail of how a lot of the world is bending over and spreading their cheeks for China, and how "that's the correct path", rather than the hardline "hold their feet to the fire for their missteps" that Trump and his allies have taken.

Mostly, it's interesting to me because I saw a story last night where Xi was saying Trump is forcing a new cold war, this time with China. That's not a war China wins. I don't know why Xi would want that. They could not win militarily. They would be going to "war" with their biggest customer and devastate their economy. They would also lose all the money we owe them.
