Fuck contributing to the mass murder of disabled people going on right now through uncontrolled COVID spread. Lets resist the chain of infection by staying inside and logged on.

Yes this boycott won’t end the pandemic. But fuck, if it prevents even one person from getting COVID that is a victory.

May be we should dunk on these anti-masker LIB s in the meantime to make this boycott more effective. May be more people will mask at these “mask optional” socialist meetings if we go hard enough.

    If everyone in attendance does a throat rapid test (and tests negative) and uses Covixyl/Betadine/another nasal spray, it’s safe to gather for a few hours, IMO.

    But my cousin said they refuse to subject their children to rapid tests, so I’m not going

        afaik rapid tests have like a 30% false negative rate

        Rapid tests have a 30% false negative if you test only your nose. Throat rapid tests are much more consistent.

        and you’re supposed to do three over three consecutive days. : p

        This use of rapid testing is very different than answering the question “Am I getting COVID?”. It’s only meant to answer the question of “Am I contagious right now?” and that’s why it’s only good for a few hours.
