Alby Not on the Payroll 🐰🐰🐰 (@albyselkie) Tweeted: So long-term respiratory issues, heart problems, neurological damage, clots & strokes are already some of the outcomes for #COVID19 *survivors* & we are not even a YEAR in. Does anyone else worry what we will know in 5, 10, 25 years?

This is correct, but also: this is a well-known trope, which means pretty much everybody is already on board with the “the technical experts are actually correct” meme, which is something I hadn’t really thought about.

End Homophobia Forever (@obaa_boni) Tweeted: But also there are degrees they demonstrate a certain level and work ethic Like PhDs, Masters etc. So I’m not saying Black doctors are like full of shit.

The Republican Party, the party that supports states’ rights. Except when….
