Meatg wants us to mask antifa and suck cop dick

[Toilet Fleet]

School district requires masks at all non-eating times, our kids comply

Scheduling a household's worth of covid tests, nothing like getting your nostrils blacked.com by a q-tip as a family bonding experience

[Necrometer]

y’all will be OK

[Necrophilic Mallard]

They letting you do self tests?
I had to swab myself and my 3 year old when she had a fever for a day.... Wasn't too bad.

Day care was only closed for 2 weeks in March 2020.
There has been one positive case in that time, and it led to a 1 week shutdown of that classroom (not ours).

Oldest starts public school kindergarten in Sep....gen pop is going to be interesting.

JESUS CHRIST. That's fucking horrible.

That absolutely breaks my heart

FYI healthy adults under 60 can sign up as a living liver donor, and the primary requirement is blood type; pediatrics have been doing partial adult-to-child donations for well over a decade now, and if you're in good enough health, you can quite literally save a life with nominal impact to your long-term health and survival (they take a quarter or less of what you've got, and it regenerates!)

I did not know this. Will look into it. Thanks for sharing.

This nation is a worthless sewer. There is no “law” there is only raw political power. Hopefully the soon to be homeless hoard of millions will start lynching politicians en-mass.

livers should come from school board members or whoever's idea this was

I don’t like these new SNL cast members.

foxnews link incoming (pays for itself if you brave the comments section)

[wilfully unvaccinated] Joe Rogan says he's contracted coronavirus, treated it with ivermectin

We immediately threw the kitchen sink at it. All kinds of meds. Monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, Z-pak, prednisone, everything. And I also got an anti-D drip and a vitamin drip.

this is a master class in showing the world how scary you actually find the virus

prednisone though

[THE KILL]

Yeah, this even turned up in German mainstream media. What a doofus.

[Geeheeb]

Regarding ivermectin: there is a moderate small amount of low quality evidence that it is actually effective treatment, but that is for human doses under the supervision of a doctor. EDIT: Just found out that one of the biggest studies that was part of the meta-analysis I was reading has been retracted because of some serious data integrity issues, and maybe even plagiarism?

Did you know that is comes in an alfalfa flavored paste? That is not the human version.

The human version of the drug does still need to be studied. I am personally hopeful that we will see ivermectin working well but we hoped that hydroxychloroquine would work and that ended in a huge bust.

[Toilet Fleet]

That's sort of it, though: the work to determine whether ivermectin is a good adjunct therapy has been going on. The current bleating about "censorship" is because people are so fuckin whole-hog in their reactionary death cult that they will literally chug horse deworming Go-Gurt because of memes.
