    I had a conversation last week with someone who knows a lot more about how the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines work than I do, and he made an interesting point. Which is that these vaccines prevent people from getting sick, but do NOT prevent people from becoming infected and infectious. As I understand it, they prime the immune system to knock the infection down quickly, but there will be a window of a few days where people who have been vaccinated can still be infectious.

    don't think so...but it may have implications for herd immunity and people who opt not to take a vaccine

    Well I specifically said western cultures.

    War on drugs is a solid choice... but still hasn't impacted as many people.

    Short memory here.

    Gore fought through the courts, and remember when the 2016 result was illegitimate bc of Russians?

    Lets just stop with the hyperbole at this point. If they find something, let the court hear it out. If not he'll be gone. Easy as that.

    Dude, Florida was decided by 500 votes lol

    That’s close enough that recounts are needed and should be done cause that’s in a margin an error can change the election

    This isn’t close to gore.

    I remember Hillary conceding on election night with less of a loss than trump lost by

    Stop with false equivalencies please

    Didn't say there was equivalancies, i said it was short memory. There is precedence for this it just has to work itself out. Trump is making himself look bad in the meantime, but he's gone. Relax guys. Stop posting about it every few minutes.

    The administration of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf announced Monday that alcohol will be barred from being sold at restaurants and bars in Pennsylvania from Wednesday evening until Thanksgiving morning — an apparent edict intended to “slow the spread” of the China-originated novel coronavirus.

    Not even sure what you’re bitching about there

    If you let them stop sales of booze once, they’ll do it again?

    Wait, Bosnia isn't Western? Guatemalan isn't?

    I think you meant to say in America and Western Europe.

    Here lemme grab a map to remind you where Bosnia and Herzegovina and Guatemala are

    Looks like we'll be on pace for 300k deaths by Christmas. Sad.

    And Trump's peeps will just say we're lucky it wasn't 2-3 million.

    Actually Pence is correct in saying they saved about a million lives with the lockdown in March-April.
