This comment looked like it double posted, so I tried to delete one and it deleted both, but I feel like it’s important:

The police have no constitutional duty to serve or protect you.

Donate harder and maybe they’ll consider doing something!

Go fash, no cash.

Do you genuinely think the government doesn’t have any trace of whether or not you have changed your gender marker?

Bureaucracy is kind of their whole thing.

Maybe it’s just because I’m in a red state, but I know for a fact my state keeps track of that. I’m probably going to a camp very quickly.

Definitely. Plus, you can absolutely get different CT values from two different testing platforms. Some PCR tests are more hands-on than others and the result can vary based on the quality of processing and on the settings that are used in the analysis software.

A home test won’t. A PCR gives you some idea if you can get them to tell you the CT (cycle threshold) value of your test. The CT value corresponds to how many times the temperature cycled before the amplification signal of the sample became detectable. Lower CT values correspond to higher viral loads.

The data is coming from the CDC. They need to wait for partnered hospitals to identify positive cases and sequence them for variant tracking. We’re currently waiting for our contract with them to be approved again. They’re getting very limited information right now, so things are probably even worse than they look. Yay!

Edit: the last update I got from my area says about 20% of people tested for covid are positive, including close to 10% of asymptomatic people. Stay safe, everyone!

My cat is always either telling me he wants to go outside unsupervised, or that he wants my food instead of his.
