As US prisons and jails see an alarming spike in COVID-19 infections, John Oliver discusses why the virus has spread so rapidly behind bars and what we can do to stop it.
F to the T, the GOP, and the mendacious media™
From the prior thread:
How conspiracy theories about the NYPD Shake Shack ‘poisoning’ blew up. No one ever even got sick. But that didn’t stop @NYCPBA from jumping all over this being an assassination attempt. https://t.co/vLGmzOsOxN via @nypmetro
— lawhawk (@lawhawk) June 22, 2020
Another reason to end the PBA? They made up the whole fucking story about 3 officers getting poisoned at Shake Shack. No one ever even got sick. 3 officers ordered shakes online and when they went to pick them up, they noted an off taste, threw them out, spoke to a manager, who gave them vouchers for a free shake. That should have been the end of it - but instead, we got a lunatic sideshow where cops accused Shake Shack of attempting to poison cops.
Who’s going to hold Pat Lynch and the PBA responsible? Or the SBA? Because they jumped on the claims that 3 were intentionally poisoned, and then backtracked to claim that it was mistakenly poisoned.
Now we learn there was never anyone poisoned at all. It was all bulkshit on a stick from the lunatics at the PBA who jumped to conclusions, and the NYPD overreacted by calling in ESU to investigate the situation.
The three officers were down from The Bronx, on protest duty in Lower Manhattan, on June 15 when they ordered the now-infamous mid-shift treats via a mobile app around 7:30 p.m., purchasing three shakes across two separate orders, sources said.
Their drinks were waiting for them when they arrived at the Shake Shack on the second floor of 200 Broadway a few minutes later. A female officer picked up her strawberry shake from the front counter, and her two male colleagues grabbed their cherry and vanilla drinks from a side counter, sources said.
Police sources explained it was clear that the workers couldn’t have known cops had placed the orders “since it wasn’t done in person” — and they couldn’t have dosed the drinks after the officers arrived, because they were packaged and waiting for pickup when the trio walked in.
Soon after sipping the shakes, however, the cops realized they didn’t taste or smell right, so they threw the drinks in the trash and alerted a manager, who apologized and issued them vouchers for free food or drink, which they accepted, according to sources.
But when the cops told their sergeant about the incident, the supervisor called in the Emergency Service Unit to set up a crime scene at the fast-food joint for an evidence search around 9:20 p.m. — nearly two hours after they first got the sour shakes.
Let’s recap. They called in an order, and the Shake Shack folks never would have known who were getting them. It wasn’t an in person order.
But someone at the NYPD determined that this was a criminal act to potentially get a bad shake.

That’d be a good question for Pence, since he’s the fucker in charge of the pandemic response and his actions also led to stockpiling this drug and the shortages experienced by those who needed it for their on-label use for things like lupus.

This evening I’m picking up a new stereo integrated amp from a local Fedex store. I ordered some other stuff at the same time from the same place and it was sent in a separate box to the Fedex store via USPS.
I’ve been on the phone with the Fedex store this morning trying to see if they can accept it. The official answer is that they’d have to refuse it because they won’t accept the responsibility for outside packages. The package would have to go back to Michigan.
I just got a phone call from the manager of the Fedex store and he told me that the second package had come in and he’s holding it for me in his office. Yay for the manager. Boo to the hi-fi store for goofing up the shipment in the first place. I’m sure the only reason that the manager is holding it is because the store also received my other package earlier in the day.

I’m glad to see the support for Wallace. What the fuck took NASCAR so long to catch up with 2020 is something they’re going to have to look at closely. A lot of their fans are racist assholes and they did make a safe place for that racism to take root. I’m hoping this leads to more than just lip service.
I’ve always actively disliked NASCAR exactly because it was a right wing festival of dumbasses.
I’ll still dislike it, but it’s pretty amazing to see this happening in such a den of wingnuts.

From the prior thread:
[Embedded content]
Another reason to end the PBA? They made up the whole fucking story about 3 officers getting poisoned at Shake Shack. No one ever even got sick. 3 officers ordered shakes online and when they went to pick them up, they noted an off taste, threw them out, spoke to a manager, who gave them vouchers for a free shake. That should have been the end of it - but instead, we got a lunatic sideshow where cops accused Shake Shack of attempting to poison cops.
Who’s going to hold Pat Lynch and the PBA responsible? Or the SBA? Because they jumped on the claims that 3 were intentionally poisoned, and then backtracked to claim that it was mistakenly poisoned.
Now we learn there was never anyone poisoned at all. It was all bulkshit on a stick from the lunatics at the PBA who jumped to conclusions, and the NYPD overreacted by calling in ESU to investigate the situation.
Let’s recap. They called in an order, and the Shake Shack folks never would have known who were getting them. It wasn’t an in person order.
But someone at the NYPD determined that this was a criminal act to potentially get a bad shake.
Re-upping from yesterday (actually from 20 fucking years ago, and Pat Lynch is still standing.

Acting USA Strauss: As alleged, Ethan Melzer, a private in the U.S. Army, was the enemy within. He allegedly attempted to orchestrate a murderous ambush on his own unit, unlawfully revealing its location, strength & armaments to a neo-Nazi, anarchist, white supremacist group.
— US Attorney SDNY (@SDNYnews) June 22, 2020
“… The Department of Justice announced today the unsealing of an indictment charging Ethan Melzer, 22, of Louisville, Kentucky, for allegedly planning an attack on his U.S. Army unit by sending sensitive details about the unit - including information about its location, movements, and security - to members of an extremist organization named Order of the Nine Angles (O9A), an occult-based neo-Nazi and white supremacist group. Melzer is charged with conspiring and attempting to murder U.S. nationals, conspiring and attempting to murder military service members, providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists, and conspiring to murder and maim in a foreign country. The FBI and the U.S. Army thwarted Melzer’s plot in late-May 2020, and the FBI arrested Melzer on June 10, 2020. The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Gregory Woods.
“As the indictment lays out, Ethan Melzer plotted a deadly ambush on his fellow soldiers in the service of a diabolical cocktail of ideologies laced with hate and violence,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers. “Our women and men in uniform risk their lives for our country, but they should never face such peril at the hands of one of their own. The National Security Division is proud to support the efforts of those who disrupted this planned attack and to seek justice for these acts.” …”

There was an effort to float a new “witness,” but that fell flat the moment people pointed out that he said he knew her as “Tara,” when she was allegedly going under her new name at the time.
I said weeks ago that the story wouldn’t make it through the summer and I stand by that. Short of some major new revelation that puts Joe’s denials in question, there’s no point in bringing her up anymore except as an obvious effort in rodent copulation.

That said, it is reported in all four Gospels (which rarely agree on much) that Jesus turned over the moneychangers’ tables in the temple. If I was going to pick a reason for his execution, it would be this kind of act, with its modern echoes in throwing a brick through a plate glass store window. Absolutely guaranteed to get the authorities ’ attention and likely to get one killed.

There is no coronavirus vaccine. There is no COVID-19 cure. The only tools we have at our disposal are the same ones everybody is fed up with. Staying at home. Hand-washing. Social distancing. Face covering. If we abandon those, it’s going to get worse.

If the past few weeks have been any indication, the answer appears to be “Yes.” Even blue and purple state govs are so desperate to get their economies going again that they’re gambling that masks and social distancing will get them through the summer if not the rest of the year. But they’re also bowing to pressure and treating both as a suggestion, leading to the impression that the outbreak is “over” or at least in remission so everybody can go on summer vacation.

I seem to remember that i read somewhere that the vaccine cant be stronger than the natural immunity that comes with being infected. And it seems that that natural immunity is pretty weak and shortlived. Soooo this might just be the new normal for a while.

There’s more than one type of vaccine being tested. A couple of which I believe are completely new methods and mechanisms never used before.
I don’t think something like those would fall under some blanket statement about immunity strength.

If the past few weeks have been any indication, the answer appears to be “Yes.” Even blue and purple state govs are so desperate to get their economies going again that they’re gambling that masks and social distancing will get them through the summer if not the rest of the year. But they’re also bowing to pressure and treating both as a suggestion, leading to the impression that the outbreak is “over” or at least in remission so everybody can go on summer vacation.

The problem is, the Republicans are turning the pandemic into a political game. They are putting the pressure on the Democratic administrations, and the Dems know that they cannot afford to fail this fall. We need a solid, unified, Democratic majority in 2021 to fix what the fat orange fuckface has destroyed, and we all know it. So they’re doing what they can to be safe and reasonable while keeping the Republicans in check, so that we can have a future in 2021 to look forward to.

Without looking, I’d imagine they are in most every state that has bothered to put out directives on masks. They’re certainly treated as optional here in VA, where the enforcement method…is the Department of Health coming around to businesses to check if there’s signage about masks up.

Weird, it was not crowded when I got there, but a bunch of golfers and other assorted terrorourists came in all at once. No masks, crowding the aisles in groups, touching everything in sight and then putting it back on the shelves. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Sigh.
I had to go to the dentist today and was really nervous, but they were great—every patient in a mask until they got to the exam room. Temp checks and disclaimers to fill out—with sterilized pens—I brought my own. Everything wiped down every few minutes.

Problem is that once momentum is built up, it takes an equally powerful force to stop it. Hence the push to “reopen” and stay “reopened” through to November, if only to blame Biden next spring if states start closing down again in the absence of a vaccine.

Agreed, but what do you want the Democratic establishment to do? If they stand up to it - even if they get the message out about the truth of reopening too early - the right wing is far stronger in propaganda, they’ve been doing it longer and their deception is more natural.

For one, Dems at the state and local level could get on the same page about masks and social distancing, treating it less as a suggestion and more as a requirement for businesses remaining open. The current waffling and the cases of governors backing off mandatory mask requirements when faced with the threat of violence has led to a perception that nobody’s really taking the threat CV-19 poses seriously. Pointing to CA or NY doesn’t really matter if every other blue/purple state is saying “Look, we’re not telling you what do, we just think it’s a good idea.”

It’s an “interesting” theory, but… turns out that farm work, harvest jobs, require a lot more skill than your ordinary city boy might imagine. Replacing those fruit pickers with the urban unemployed results in 2/3 of the crop rotting before anybody can pick it.

That’s thinking rationally, which we’ve seen on multiple occasions is not how Miller or Trump work. The wingnut belief system says that any job that doesn’t require specialized training (ex: college degree or technical training) is something any idiot can do and thus those jobs going unoccupied means people are “lazy” and “unmotivated.” And they think nothing “motivates” people like the possibility of starvation and/or homelessness.

If you remember from 2009, people generally understood that the economic problems were caused by Republicans, and didn’t blame Obama. That will be true next year.
Even here in Red Texas, a lot of conservatives are wearing masks and not doing a whole lot of stuff they don’t have to. The federal government actually putting out rational guidelines will be welcome in a lot of places. Having said that, Abbott will send the national guard out to confiscate any food delivered in Texas to help people.

The fragile snowflake can’t take the pressure of campaigning as an incumbent who drove the nation and its economy into a ditch and killed 120,000+ Americans in the process.
He can’t run on an economy where the unemployment rate is 3x higher than the rate he inherited. He can’t run it on effectively managing the covid19 crisis, when the US is the outlier among nations that have controlled covid19. Trump doesn’t care how many get sick or die, so long as he had his rallies and he doesn’t care how many of his staffers get sick.
That’s the craziest part - he still has people working for him despite the fact that they’re not social distancing or masking, because Trump thinks that makes you look weak.
This is a fucking disaster for the nation, and he cares only about himself. That’s always been his case.
Oh, and now he openly claims that Obama committed treason. Never mind that this is bogus claim, but it’s projecting like IMAX as Trump always does. If he thinks someone else did it, it’s because he was already engaging in treason.
