The newly updated CDC guidelines don’t require testing at the end of isolation because PCR tests can stay positive for up to 12 weeks, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told “Good Morning America” Wednesday. “So we would have people in isolation for a very long time if we were relying on PCRs,” Walensky explained.
Wait, what?
So you mean that the tests aren’t accurate to tell if you still have the virus now?
And that you’re just telling us that they might throw positives for up to 12 weeks, even after you might no longer be contagious?
Why are we only hearing about this now from the CDC?
How long have they known this?
All kinds of people and businesses have been making decisions based on these tests. They’ve factored into restrictions and lockdowns, and now we hear that they may not be accurate?
Why, then, was so much built around them?
So they’re just eliminating the need for testing after isolation?
How do you know then when you are no longer contagious if you’re now telling us the tests aren’t a good indicator?
Then what you’re saying is that you’re just picking a random time to end isolation, after which you may or may not still be contagious?
I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for higher taxes, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you leave me alone, that’ll be the end of it — I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will … cease to vote for you.
Calling Men ‘Bald’ at Work Now Considered Sexual Harassment in the UK
NY Post | May 12, 2022 | Natalie O’NeillThe finding — made by three judges who lament their own lack of locks in the judgment — came in the case of an electrician, Tony Finn, who sued a small Yorkshire-based family business over the term…
The finding also declared that criticizing Finn for his hairless head was “degrading” and “humiliating.”
How does Waldo Baldo want people to describe the appearance of his head?
Tenacious ‘Trash Parrots’ [Cockatoos] Locked in Escalating ‘Arms Race’ With Humans Down Under
livescience.com | Harry BakerResidents in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia, are in the midst of an escalating feud with a neighboring population of wild sulphur-crested cockatoos (Cacatua galerita) over an unlikely prize: household trash. While this conflict may sound comical, researchers report that it shows all the signs of an “innovation arms race,” in which two species become trapped in a cycle of behavioral changes as they continually try to one-up or outthink one another.
The sharp-witted cockatoos have earned the unflattering nickname “trash parrots” after learning to open up flip-top garbage bins to pillage their contents. In 2018, videos shared online showed the resourceful birds grabbing onto the rims of bin lids with their beaks or feet, shimmying down toward the hinge and eventually flipping the plastic covers entirely off the containers. After watching the footage, researchers investigated the behavior and found that the cockatoos were working out how to open the bins by observing one another, which is known as social learning.
Since then, local residents have deployed numerous countermeasures — including bricks, sticks, locks and even rubber snakes — to prevent the cunning cockatoos from inadvertently covering the streets in trash. However, not all these countermeasures have proven to be effective at outwitting the cockatoos, who continue to outsmart the humans and break into bins where they can.
These countermeasures ranged from simple solutions, such as weighing down the lid with bricks or water bottles, to more ingenious ideas.
Tone-Deaf Fortune Mag Headline: ‘Why You Should Be Happy About Inflation’
NewsBusters | 9/21/2022 | Joseph VazquezFortune magazine ran one of the dumbest liberal takes on inflation yet. Its propaganda piece even puts fraudulent economists like Paul Krugman to shame.
The liberal magazine had the audacity to publish a tone-deaf inflation story with the headline: “Why you should be happy about inflation and worried about something else, top economist Brad DeLong says.” The magazine pushed the insane propaganda of University of California, Berkeley Professor Brad DeLong who reportedly said that so-called “‘reopening inflation’” has “‘so far been a very good thing.’” The liberal rag continued: “DeLong argues that there is a major economic shift taking place that people should welcome. It all has to do with our strange but kind of wonderful post-pandemic economy.”
