At least you all aren't automatically taking it for granted that Trump actually has covid. That warms my heart a little.

You're in a movie Filthy. It's a live action drama and Trump is just an actor. Boris Johnson a puppet. Don't believe any of it.

I really do hope it kills him.

But yes Boris had a modicum of sympathy from the UK when he was seriously ill, but he used up that capital very quickly.

i haven't seen any sympathy for trump. rachel maddow tweeted sympathy and my feed mocked her

but yes, i realize my feed is not reflective of the genpop. but it really does seem like are more happy than sympathetic. i'd guess that bojo had more respect from the uk, than trump does from usa. just a guess obv

It's pretty 'ironic' that many of the faux-populists world leaders (Trump, Johnson, Bolsonaro) all end up contracting covid. Who could have predicted that? These dumb right wingers probably not washing their hands.

Also Canadians have tougher immigration than US, and apparently a majority are wary of "birth tourism" https://researchco.ca/2020/09/04/birth-tourism-canada/

For Zurvan.
Yeah, Canadian racism is real. In some ways more insidious than American racism, because we're so nice about it.

Anecdotally when I was in Canada they had some soap opera that easily could have been about Montana conservative rural people doing whatever crap, and the first time I ever heard about incels was some Canadian local news piece.
I'm really curious what soap opera you mean

Incels were a big topic of conversation here a couple years ago, after this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_van_attack

Weird that people who are openly trying to pretend the virus doesn't exist, don't take basic precautions, and surround themselves with OTHER people who don't take basic precautions end up catching a highly contagious airborne respiratory disease.

Sounds like it's only a matter of time before I get it in that case.

being inside is actually much less safe than being outside if you are trying to not get COVID

I am a high risk person for COVID and I take it relatively seriously and I spend a ton of time outside and never wear a mask outside because you don't need to

Tell that to the people out jogging in one or driving their cars windows up mask on. Although I am curious about where you're getting your information from that says the air is safe outside.
