Why are Zoomers so annoying?

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

A person “just taking up space” used to be an insult. On American campuses it’s now something people demand to be congratulated for.

[KM @RoboHungarian]

@mattyglesias Yeah people keep talking about unvaccinated non-whites and Hispanics as if mandates/vaccine certs are an own goal for Dems. The reality is that these unvaccinated people are either non-voters or Republicans. Only about 5% of Dem voters are unvaccinated.

@AstorAaron Everyone over 50 should only be allowed AstraZeneca. They're wasting millions of them sitting in storage.

[Mike Bird @Birdyword]

As @IronEconomist noted these really are incredibly high figures. This is, per capita, about 35% more people in hospital than the UK recorded during the absolute peak of the winter lockdown.

[Emily Porter, M.D. @dremilyportermd]

This is why people saying “my choices and personal freedom don’t affect you” drive me insane. When large hospital systems get overwhelmed by largely unvaccinated patients who all of the sudden decide to trust doctors and want non FDA-approved treatment, everyone suffers.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Immunocompromized is one thing but one of the biggest faults in media coverage right now is in not giving people proper context on the very low risks of severe outcomes in children. This is a good explainer on that:

@mattyglesias your daily reminder that Spain built an entire 2,000 mile high speed rail network for $70B, while Amtrak pretends they can’t do anything with $66B

A politician answered a yes or no question with a "no" followed by a frank explanation, and the news org removed the "no"

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

I’ve already outlined vaccine requirements that will reach millions of Americans. Today, I’m announcing a new step: If you work in a nursing home and serve Medicare or Medicaid enrollees, you will also be required to get vaccinated.

Hard to believe: Per NYT COVID tracker, ~1 in 813 people in Duval County, Fla. — home to Jacksonville — is now in a hospital bed with COVID.

Highest concentration per capita in USA.

6 of the 8 counties that are at >1 in 1,000 are in Florida.

[435lb AUM @DeadLiftCapital]

@Birdyword It's really a great example of how the "experts" are also all about tribal BS. You won't send unvaccinated kids to school maskless, but you'd go to a restaurant or travel or whatever? Do they *really* think masks are like a force-field, or is this just voting with the tribe?

[Blue Proton @blue_proton]

@Redistrict I hate gerrymandering but it's time Dems started fighting fire with fire!

[RESPECT VETS Lisa @Lisa_Battleaxe]

@RichardEngel A delay caused by Afghan men clogging the tarmac and trying to flee, unconcerned about women and children apparently. Fixed it for you.

Biden: "we gave them every tool they could need. we gave them every chance to determine their own future"

yeah so about that...https://t.co/O9UZXdgNFR

@roslyntalusan Because she doesn't share your enthusiasm for racial segregation, I wold imagine.

[Josh Hawley @HawleyMO]

President Biden should withdraw troops in Afghanistan by May 1, as the Trump administration planned, but better late than never. It’s time for this forever war to end https://t.co/X679t33NuS
