Yikes, 48 dead since October 2023, 222 cases last month. That mother's story about not wanting to be a hypochondriac parent and then losing her daughter so quickly as the symptoms escalated is heartbreaking.

"If you have a severe sore throat without a cough or other cold or upper respiratory tract infection symptoms, if you have fever with it, if you're feeling generally quite unwell with these symptoms, then seek medical attention," said Hota in an interview.

That's a really good response / addition for addition context. Thank you.

Since we're all dummies and you know the answers, please go ahead and explain how Google goes about selling heavily targeted ads to uniquely identifiable groups, but that they also are not "selling data".

Are we being massively pedantic and saying that it's not actual user data, but rather leveraging said data to sell ads to the anonymized targeted groups, who are actively tracked by Google around the internet so ads can be served up at opportune times in their browsing?

Because that dumb argument is like saying Oxford Dictionary doesn't sell words, they sell definitions; or that McDonalds doesn't sell beef, they sell hamburgers.

Sorry if I miscommunicated. No, they're not selling your home address. But the idea that they aren't monetizing your personal data aggressively is laughably wrong and heavily documented.

Too bad a bunch of ignorant fucks have voluntarily stopped taking perfectly good and reasonable vaccines, leading to outbreaks where none need have happened.

Eat shit and die, Andrew Wakefield, for being an enormous fraud and generally awful human being. I hope you and all the vaccine deniers that were inspired by you die in some sort of searing hot liquid plastic accident.

Huh, I almost forgot that spineless loser Brian Jean still works for the UCP.

Also, "learning experience"? Motherfucker we've had electricity for decades. You didn't learn shit; you failed to anticipate.
