I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

CDC: "... the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia, influenza or #COVID-19 (PIC) decreased from 8.1% during week 27 to 6.4% during week 28, representing the twelfth week of a declining percentage of deaths... "

I'm old enough to remember a press conference a few weeks ago when Trump said he'd been tested for COVID-19, and reporters shouted demands to know the results. Not the same if you're Biden
