Hillary was the only candidate who could lose to Trump in 2016

Or was Trump the only Republican candidate who could possibly have lost to Hillary, and he won anyway?

Good point. The author of this article doesn’t have any notable history of problematic reportage. It’s not as clear-cut as I assumed in the post.

Rapid tests work very well at not signalling false positives, but false negatives happen all the time. The CDC has recommended “serial” testing in order to better establish someone’s COVID status (but people aren’t exactly given enough tests or money to do that).

If you ever get a positive “but faint” test, you’re positive, a positive result is a positive result. It’s an alarmingly common misconception people have that the boldness of the line is some signifier of infection intensity, even though tests can’t measure that and don’t try to. The CDC should have gotten ahead of the natural inclination people have to downplay results that make their lives miserable but :shrug-outta-hecks:

edit: Some people with long COVID can test positive after they stop being contagious

Monique could just divorce the fascist and keep a healthy co-parenting arrangement with a redeemed but not romantically involved MM. That could be a nice lead-up to the fascist ex being a forgotten reject and possible domestic terrorist in a right-wing militia for Homelander.

Or they can keep up the divorced dad stuff.

The intent is to depict non-white regions of the world as alien lands that lack blue skies. People don’t filter out the blue sky and recolor natural skin tones when some McCracker Middle America suburb is getting filmed.
