What is even happening?

I heard 1 (per Yamiche Alcindor, whom I believe). I've seen three on Twitter, but just from people, not reporters.

Do you remember where you saw that, sj?

Then there's this:

"City of Cleveland announces 11 positive cases of COVID-19 stemming from preparations for presidential debate" [link]

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I thought on MSNBC but I think it was "rumored" when I heard it.

What is even happening?

I have the repeat of Maddow on. She just said three reporters.

I'm seeing Chris Christie tested positive, but nothing I feel confirms it, yet.

(He was certainly exposed in debate prep, however.)

Dear Lord, please protect Joe Biden and Jill.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Of course I can believe they were that stupid, but I CAN'T BELIEVE they were that stupid.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Of course I can believe they were that stupid, but I CAN'T BELIEVE they were that stupid.

Apparently they believe their own bullshit.

Thrive to spite them

I want to go on Twitter and find any account trying to blame Dems for this or anyone else and troll them with "Trump (or whoever) should take personal responsibility..." And "why should my tax dollars go to pay for their healthcare? I should have to pay for someone who can't take personal responsibility...."

And there is an official Tweet from Twitter about how any tweet saying anyone should die or wish bodily harm or whatever will be removed because they don't allow that. Which is BS because they do. So I want to find all the maga assholes threatening people and screenshot it and reply to that asking why it hasn't been removed.

Although there seems to be some rumors that some of the super rich donors Trump met with after he was exposed/tested positive (not sure which) and wasn't wearing a mask etc are super super pissed at being put at risk.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Never has an Administration so deserved being hoist by their own petard.

Our wings are not tired.

Of course I can believe they were that stupid, but I CAN'T BELIEVE they were that stupid.

They keep showing the video from the superspreader even with Sen Lee hugging and all the physical and close contact. I'm watching the news with my sister and we actually shudder watching it. My family is a huggy family. I always hugged my siblings. I haven't hugged my sister since last February. Mona was talking about our dear family friend who lost her father this summer and how we didn't hug her.

What is wrong with these people, and will they ever learn? Why is not spreading your germ a political choice?

I am just angry this morning, with a side of they deserve what they get. Alas, there are way too many that don't deserve it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The Regeneron cocktail did so well in early testing that they did a press release saying so long before they ever do. [link]

I hope New Jersey can and will prosecute him for having that event knowing he was endangering lives by doing so.

Our wings are not tired.

Drinking coffee. Made tasty oatmeal with raisins, walnuts, pumpkin pie spice and honey. I'd give you proportions, but I didn't measure anything. eta: remembered that I routinely put about 1/3 cup oats and 1/4 cup bran buds because my cholesterol appreciates it. Added a bit of almond milk after it cooked.

I leave to pick up DH from the airport in about an hour. It is 85 miles to SYR so it takes a bit of time.
