Fake personalitie? HAHAHA. I just have one username. How many do you have? Music? LOLLLLLL. I just know logic and call out dumb posts when I see it. And if it ticks you off so much you just have to reply, so much the better. You really are imagining things too much. Stressed? Honestly, I haven't had this much fun a long while. Thanks for the entertainment. Mocking you makes me feel relaxed. If you won't stop, then I won't stop. Simple as that. And I could go on and on. I know, you've had enough and is looking for a face-saving way to exit with your tail between your legs. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. P.S-Oh, you bet I will go after holiday if he steps out of line, I always do, don't be naive. Horee Kao! You responded back in less than 7 minutes with this flameburst! So emotionable, you are. See? I knew you were my #1 fanboy...or fangirl...sorry, forgot to ask what you identify as. But hey...whatever you identify as or don't identify as....thanks for the fan adulation. SIX MINUTES!!!! DAMN.... Well, well, well, look who got goaded to reply again and again. You just can't resist me, can you? Sucker. Face it, I am toying with you and you just can't stand it. Does it hurt that you keep falling for my trap again and again? So predictable. Come on, what are you waiting for, respond, I know you can't resist:

Went to PuDong airport today to drop wifey off...going back to visit family in Wuhan...first time she’s been home in 11 months.
Domestic travel was ok, maybe 60% of what it used to be. But the International travel was nearly dead. Up on the departing flight board only 3 more flights were listed for the day (was there around 3pm). Normally there would be several screens full of flights scheduled. And no one was queuing up to enter the International departure hall.
At the arrival hall, International arrival was cordoned off. No longer can we see passengers as they exit the baggage claim and walk out into the hall. It’s because the passengers are then whisked to a bus that will bring them to the hotel to be quarantined in the district they live in.
Bad news is Burger King in the arrival hall is closed. Good news is Starbucks, KFC and a small satellite McDonalds were all open.

But hey...whatever you identify as or don't identify as....thanks for the fan adulation. SIX MINUTES!!!! DAMN.... cutshot, you are so awesome. Darling, I try my best to keep up with you, but the reality is I'm not very creative and I end up repeating myself over and over trying to look like I'm witty and condescending. In the end, my posts just keep repeating the same thing over and over. I'm in awe of you. Responding to your posts gives me such a compelling reason to log in to VT every day to see if you responded to my last post about you. I'm totally your #1 fan and always will be. Thank you so much, sweetheart! XOXOXOXOXOXO Fixed it for you.

Making imaginary posts does not change the fact your fall so easily in my grasp. You actually thinking I am worked up over this? Hahahahaha. Does this get a rise out of you: I feel sorry for your mother when she gave birth to you. Oh was that an insult on you? Did that ticked you off? My my my, come on, don't stop now.

Hey, if we are both entertained by each other, ain't that all good. I mean, you are so pathetic you have no idea how much joy you provide me. P.S-Make no mistake, you are still a troll.

Contact tracing is not going very well in California. My guess is these problems are occurring in other states as well, though I wonder whether the problems are similar in Europe and Asia. Seems like some issues might be related to U.S. culture. www.nytimes.com/2020/08/09/us/california-contact-tracing.html

I read their NYT op-ed. Does anyone here understand the magic of the one case per 100k population per day number? As in, why 1 and not 5 or .1 or something else? California uses about 7 (specifically 100 per 100k over a 14-day period). Does the number depend on testing speed? "Essential" interactions? I also don't understand the rationale for shutting everyone down at once--aren't there regions currently that are below 1 per 100k? Of course there needs to be some inter-region agreement like various states telling out-of-towners to quarantine. At this point, I don't think we lack courage (some people are too fearless, actually). Understanding is what I'm missing.

Russia claims they now have a vaccine ready and approved. In fact, Putin claims her own daughter has taken a shot of it. Problem is, do you trust the Russians? Short-cuts seem to have been taken here. Do you really feel safe with an unproven Russian vaccine that may have ignored some key safety checks: apnews.com/fcda62ad992db414d65f23b2adb78e44

Except, where was the COVID explosion in the rest of the world when they opened up schools? There has been no correlation between spikes in COVID and opening up schools worldwide. Not to say this couldn't happen, but I don't understand why we would assume it will happen? We already know that various state mandated restrictions in the US has had zero correlation with COVID cases. And something that I don't think has been brought up - there is no statistical evidence that wearing masks has impacted COVID cases. Looking specifically at the differences in Orleans and Jefferson parishes in Louisiana. I think masks may make some differences at the margin - but the statistical evidence doesn't support a difference - and certainly not a material difference.

Maybe because the virus wasn't running rampant in the general community when schools opened? IDK. Just a wild guess. (Sarcasm intended.)

Except in the places where COVID was running 'rampant' and opening up schools (or never closing them) and didn't see spikes in cases. See Sweden.
