Coronavirus COVID-19
Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Of course I have covid...again.
Woke up with a scratchy throat which I didn't think much about, but it developed into a sore throat and very slight cough this morning. Got a rapid test, and then another...both positive. Awesome.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Seriously. I mean I travel for work and work in the office, but obviously it's tough to pinpoint how I got it.
Hopefully it won't be as bad this time around though.
edit: VDH, on behalf of NIH, just contacted me to do an antibody test. Says it's for a study about antibody responses in breakthrough cases.
I get $40 out of it.

I hear AOC could use it.
After all fighting the good fight takes quite a bit of money.
Why the Met Gala cost $35k to just get in and then one has to consider what to wear. Can't just go with any old outfit but need something that really rises to the occasion and tells a good story. Around $10k should do the trick.

Masks help the hired help to blend into the background and shows their status at an event.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Not sure what the issue is.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a public museum in New York City.
AOC is a representative in New York City.
She went to something where all the money goes to a service which serves her constituents.
This is literally her job as a public servant.
As for the dress, I'll let her explain it:
"When we talk about supporting working families and when we talk about having a fair tax code, oftentimes this conversation is happening among working and middle class people (on) the senate floor,” she told reporters at the event, according to CNN. “I think it’s time we bring all classes into the conversation,” she said. “The medium is the message.”

People had to wear masks indoors, not outdoors. Everyone had to be vaccinated.
I have no idea why some attendants are wearing masks outdoors, but if I were to guess (as someone who served one summer for the Society of the Cincinnati events), it was probably easier to just keep them on since you're constantly running in and out of places.

But the irony is that AOC, a self-touted champion of the poor and an individual that believes in the idea that everybody should be on a monetarily equal playing field, attends an event that only the very rich can attend, in a dress that costs more than most people clear after taxes in 4+ months.
She used to event to support her "message" in a way that built up her as an individual more. She could of conducted a charity event (I am sure the Met would of been more than happy to accommodate the action due to the positive publicity) that auctioned off the event and a dress to the cause AOC has publicly supported (helping the poor). But she decided to follow in the very socialist and capitalistic tradition of looking out for number 1, herself.

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Well it's kinda unfortunate that we need to have these rich people events when you know...we could raise taxes to better support our cultural institutions.

Tax them.
We also can't forget ignoring the NY City smoking ban inside public places. But that is beside the point, after all there is a pandemic going around.
I agree with you on the insanely rich people suck (majority that is, I have met a few that defy the rule), mainly because they are some of the biggest hypocrites around. So AOC by not making a choice that shows she is serious about her message, is in good company. Reminds me of Trump in many ways.
On a lighter note, looks like you will get your wish, they will be taxed (Biden's new tax plan).
Will be interesting to see if the wealth distribution plan works. If there was only some historical examples we could look at.........
