You might be surprised: in practice, dumbass does not sort to political party, there are plenty in all of them. The allure of Darwin awards is strong.

No but it sure does skew heavily in one direction. There is likely a huge overlap between the anti-vaxxers and the people who buy into QAnon. For those not familiar with QAnon, it is the incredibly realistic theory that a high level government official named Q has selected Donald Trump as the person who will soon break up a cannibalistic cabal of pedophilic Democrats, bring them to justice, and have them executed. Many Trump supporters certainly aren’t working with a full deck. It’s no surprise that many are anti-science. However, they love to cling to debunked “science”, including that vaccines cause autism. You and I are just sheep who can’t see the big picture. These Democrats and Bill Gates just want to assert full control over us. This country is full-on chaos at the moment where fringe idiocy is being mainstreamed.

Agreed - I'm not sure there is a lot of Venn diagram overlap between the RFK Jr/Jenny McCarthy demographic and right-wing conspiracy theorists who believe in QAnon.

Then I may have spoke out of turn for the country, but, by my family in the Southern CT, there is a significant overlap. I am from an area that largely voted for Trump in a blue state. These are people who hang on Trump’s every word and dive right into deep state/QAnon conspiracy BS. I’ve actually had to leave a discussion among some of these individuals who refused to vaccinate their children and said that Trump’s immigration policy would take care of more common communicable diseases from reaching their kids.

Philadelphia’s Jim Kenney must be jealous of Bill DeBlasio’s near universal acclaim as the biggest idiot among big city American Mayors.
Threatens continued crackdowns on businesses who violate his extended ban on restaurant openings (Covid fears) while joining thousands in close contact during protest marches and failing to protect merchants from violence and looting.
Well done Jim.

WHO—“Asymptomatic Spread” rare
WHO—“Contact surface spread” rare
WHY—are we still in lockdowns?

WHO—“Asymptomatic Spread” rare WHO—“Contact surface spread” rare WHY—are we still in lockdowns? Probably because there's a deadly virus out there that's increasing in transmission and we don't have enough testing because of the guy in the White House.

Wasn't that supposed to happen in April?

Probably because there's a deadly virus out there that's increasing in transmission and we don't have enough testing because of the guy in the White House. It's like he forgot why we went into lockdown in the first place. It's because we didn't have testing in place and as a result had no idea how far the virus had spread. The reason why they did virtually nothing is because instead of getting prepared the administration was trying to save the Dow Jones instead of people's lives. They didn't get testing up to speed. They didn't move to secure PPE etc. They sat on their hands because they didn't want to "upset the markets." We're still in lockdown because they failed us. This is what they voted for.

WHO—“Asymptomatic Spread” rare WHO—“Contact surface spread” rare WHY—are we still in lockdowns? Actually, what WHO said is not what they meant. “Van Kerkhove took to Twitter to point toward some WHO documentation that shed light on the far narrower definition of “asymptomatic” that she had been working with: those infected people who “do not ever develop any symptoms, although they can shed virus which may then be transmitted to others.” It’s a definition, in other words, which explicitly excludes presymptomatic carriers. And that, in turn, means that the plainest reading of her statement seemingly isn’t the sense in which she meant it at all: An “asymptomatic person” might only rarely transmit the virus, but that doesn’t mean people who are on their way to becoming symptomatic don’t.“ A Bad Game of Telephone at the World Health Organization

The WaPo needs editors. The phrase should be "seized upon by [ignorant] conservatives." Maybe the Trump cultists should revert back to blaming WHO for the pandemic rather than seizing upon a WHO statement which seemed to support them? They are so confused. Less than 24 hours later, WHO convened a special news conference to walk back its comments, stressing that much remains unknown. But the comment from Monday had already spread widely and been seized upon by conservatives and others to bolster arguments that people do not need to wear masks or maintain social distancing precautions. “It’s a mess. I don’t know why they would say asymptomatic transmission is very rare when the truth is we simply don’t know how frequent it is,” said Eric Topol, a professor of molecular medicine at Scripps Research. “And it doesn’t change the facts we do know, which is that this virus is very transmissible and is very hard to combat.” www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/06/09/asymptomatic-coronavirus-spread-who/

Putting that aside, I am not saying get rid of masks and social distancing. However, when morons like Jim Kenney keep Philly businesses on lockdown while actively participating in mass social gatherings of which they approve, the message is at best mixed and at worst lost.

Isn't up to the Governor of Pennsylvania to lift the COVID restrictions?
