Just Do It

If it makes anyone feel better, you could probably get tested somewhere a few days after where you would be positive but not a high risk of infection. Like 3-4 days afterwards.

LOL depends on how horny you are bro. My suggestion is hang out with her but first find out if she or her family has been sick at all. If not then just go for it. Sure she could be asymptomatic but that’s including you so can’t just hide inside your house forever, this virus might go around for a lot longer. Doesn’t mean you can’t go get yourself a girl you like.

Are you or she in the high risk category for complications? Have you both been following safety guidelines, more or less?

is the girl only interested in hanging out because she is lonely in the moment? maybe being responsible and telling her that you shouldn't take the risk because you live with others would make you more appealing to her and in the long run increase that slight chance of getting laid


If she’s only interested right now cause she’s lonely than I’d assume she’s out of his league, so the easy answer is to strike while the iron is hot. Don’t miss the chance haha

“This is a Deep State blindside by bureaucrats who hate the administration they work for more than they’re concerned about saving American lives,” - Peter Navarro, Trump’s trade adviser, after the FDA revokes emergency waiver for chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine use for COVID-19 because they don't do **** to treat the virus and could cause additional health issues

the administration had rushed to stockpile nearly 100 million pills, had distributed about a third of them to the states, and doesn't know what to do with the rest

Send them to a country that has a malaria problem. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

How about chloroquine shakes, sold at Trump rallies? In nice plastic souvenir cups with Donald's picture on them. If you're a true believer you'll drink one.

New Zealand. Their situation is what I have always thought would happen to any city or state that wipes out covid and then reopens. The world is a small place now and until this is handled globally we are always gonna have cities with reinfections. And as we see with these super-spreader incidents it doesn't take much for an outbreak. Its vaccine or bust basically. Well that or we just accept the risk and keep moving.

Chloroquine gift baggies for everyone who signs the liability waiver at the rally.

Why do I have a feeling this will actually happen?

It seems very reckless on his part to go through with this thing- it could sink his re-election campaign if it turns into a super spreader event, which it very well could.

A new model shows that Florida is on it's way to becoming a new COVID hotspot, esp. along the east coast of the state.

as is the pattern with his base of support, unless they are directly negatively affected by his actions, they'll ignore it. and oklahoma is in the bag for him regardless of how many people get sick due to that event. hell, farmers have been badly impacted by his trade wars, but aside from possibly iowa it won't cost him any states. and iowa's not going to swing the election. if he loses there it'll be because it's a wide electoral college victory for biden

He needs more than just his base to get re-elected though. Older folks, suburbanites- he's vulnerable in both demographics. The event at the FLA bar last week saw 12 of 15 friends come down with COVID. So multiple that by 1,000. That's what could result from packing in 20K people inside an arena, yelling and shouting for several hours, hardly any of them wearing masks. It could be a millstone around his presidency if say, we see 1,000 new infections from this event. It could turn the tide against him among a lot of people.

IMO, the election is over as far as Potus. The only person who can beat Biden right now is Biden. People act like Trump was this political juggernaut. The dude barely won in 2016 after Hillary ran a terrible campaign.

The real question is if the Dems can get 60 in the senate.

Hope you are right, but after 2016, I won't rest easy until it's over.
