"I'm suing you for breach of contract."

"HOW DARE YOU SHOW SUCH CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR THE HORRIFIC AND PROLONGED GLOBAL EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC!!!"
"Dude, did you kill the last cup of joe and not make a new pot?"

"You expect me to actually put my hands on the coffee and filter before people drink it? How dare you have such a callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic!?"
"Hey man, you were supposed to pick me up after work!"

"You expect me to go out in public and endanger lives just for your convenience? How dare you have such a callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic!?"
"You didn't pick up milk on the way home like I asked you."

"You expect me to risk exposing those people at the grocery to a virus I could have and not know it? How dare you have such a callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic!?"
"It's your turn to take the kids this weekend."

"You expect me to expose them to such a dangerous virus? How dare you have such a callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic!?"
"How dare you have such a callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic!?"

It's the perfect response to anything you want to get out of doing.

The latest CDC hoopla over sudden spiking cases in the U.S. pointed to Providencetown, MA as a reason to lock down again and force masks on everyone, vaccinated or not. Alex here is the town manager of Providencetown. Read through his short thread and we'll talk a bit about it.
Providencetown, MA is a sleepy little New England town right on the coast. It has a permanent population of about 3,000 people, so when you look at the numbers, they might seem alarming. After all, 900 people in a town of only 3,000 falling ill with a deadly virus is a lot!
But those little coastal New England towns have this phenomenon that happens in the summer they like to call "summer folk." The weather turns nice and all of the sudden their sleepy little town of 3,000 swells to about 60,000. The "summer folk" have come back.

We first identified COVID-19 as a threat around December 2019. Vaccines were available via President Trump's Operation Warp Speed before Christmas 2020.

We first identified the Delta variant in December 2020. Does President @JoeBiden have a time-line for a vaccine yet?
We already have several highly effective vaccines for the original virus. Making a vaccine for this variant based on the original should be a simple process.

Any progress on this, or is this administration's response just "mask up and save lives, you rubes?"
If you remember, these mRNA vaccines were supposed to attack the proteins around the virus itself, not the actual virus. Does the Delta variant have a completely different protein shield around it? Does the mRNA concept only work with certain virus mutations?

This is embarrassing Covid theater. It's also mandatory in the Philippines. They're one of the most severely locked down countries in the world, and what you see here is after many draconian measures have already been lifted. If you don't like this, ensure it doesn't happen here.
If you're curious what some of those draconian measures were, they included shutting down the country's transportation: jeepneys, planes, ferries, etc., forcing people to remain in their homes, and mandating passes for head of household only on certain days for shopping.
An entire country, largely run on tourism, was shut down completely. No one in, no one out. No one out and about. Stay in your home, leave only when authorized to do so, and only for authorized, necessary activities.

How many already-vaccinated Democrats will test positive for COVID-19 before our intrepid media suddenly "discovers" the tests find any trace amount of the family of coronaviruses that have been around for who-knows-how-long now, and aren't an indication a person will get sick.
We've seen a huge amount of high-profile people who are already vaccinated pop positive on a COVID-19 test. How many of these have we heard follow-ups on, whether or not they've actually come down with a cold? How many have died?
We aren't seeing that information because either none of them are actually getting sick or dying (which means the tests are mostly meaningless) or they are getting sick or dying (which means the vaccines are not as effective as they say). Which is it?

This article has lots of hand-wringing over young people not getting vaccinated, anecdotal examples of serious but rare comorbidities, and youth vaccination rates compared to *total* cases and deaths.

What does it not have? Mortality rates by age group.
Showing youth vaccination rates compared to all cases and deaths regardless of age category is a pretty good example of misinformation/disinformation, but you won't see any calls to ban or censor @ABC for it.
Misinformation/disinformation is lauded if it makes people more cautious or scared, or if it encourages overraction to some threat, no matter how serious the threat is. "Can't be too careful" is the mantra, even when precautions don't help or even exacerbate the problem.

Just over four million people in the ENTIRE WORLD have died from coronavirus. Total. Just over a half a million in the United States, and less than 40 thousand in Florida.

Randi, as an educator, can you give us the definition of "hyperbole?"
With coronavirus survival rates being what they are, quite literally over a billion Floridians would have to come down with the virus, according to @rweingarten, for that many to die from it.
There are just under 22 million Floridians at the moment. Even counting every single tourist (roughly 87 million over the course of a whole year), Florida doesn't even reach one billion people. Just over 1/1000th of a billion, actually.
