That is so messed up that I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it. Nurses and doctors still are science-based? I thought? I guess not.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck.

@DrPsyBuffy @MisuseCase
Wait... even in hospital, they're not testing people who have symptoms of covid?!?

@valthonis @mekkaokereke
Yeah. Mississippi and Texas don't surprise me there, but New York and Illinois (which has Chicago) very much do surprise me.

I heard somewhere that every Canadian citizen has a government-issued email address, provided via the Canadian post office. (Can any Canadians confirm or refute?) Edit: Refuted. I heard wrong.

Comcast and Century Link would oppose doing that in the USA, but I think it's worth working for.

My (politically purple) town did provide high-speed (for its time) internet as a utility, for about 15 years. As a result, Comcast here had actual competition, and provided excellent service at good prices.

After much advertising (and lobbying) from Comcast et al., and with conservatives ascendant, the city council voted to sell the service to a local ISP... which, 4 or 5 years later, was purchased by Century Link.

What @doctormo said. Also, the @feditips account is worth following (and reading their recent posts), for the first few days at least.

Also, if you want to find the people you followed at Twitter, there are tools like #movetodon and #fedifinder that, I think, still work? Maybe someone who knows more than I do will chime in.
