But how does that relate to being immune from the disease? It tells me they are extremely unlikely to die, but says nothing about their immunity.
As a note, the China misinformation story was back in March. Most recent news articles I've seen have indicated a massive purge of Chinese-backed misinformation.
For instance, from The Hill itself in June of this year: https://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/502371-twitter-deletes-over-170000-accounts-tied-to-chinese-propaganda-efforts
But, but, he was pictured with Epstein! /s
Hm. Pulling some bits from the CDC archives of H1N1, it had significantly more cases, perhaps less hospitalizations, and significantly less deaths. THere are, of course, differences related to how deaths are recorded, so it's not conclusive in and of itself. I'd still argue Covid isn't nearly as bad as everyone out there makes it to be, and certainly not deserving the same panic, but as far as numbers go it was certainly less harmful/dangerous.

(Note that I did just check the table of cases/hospitalizations/deaths. There could be other info I missed.)
Considering how many "wear a mask" posts I see on imgur (about the only "Social media" site I use since I needed a place for my images), I'd kinda like some references to throw at them whenever I feel up to browsing.
Exactly. Using that for less-than-wholesome things is what's abhorrent.
I actually would want a filter--not so much for the additions but because I dislike the taste of my tap water--but since i live in an apartment I'm pretty sure that kind of add-on isn't allowed. Is there something I could do that's apartment-friendly?
It might be more prudent for B to have corrections also be front-and-center in the next article, to make sure they aren't merely a footnote. Or otherwise very publicly and clearly stated as corrections.
We could take steps to understand what they might've wanted to do or liked to do instead of committing crimes (assuming the crimes were not accidental; thus, including spur-of-the-moment burglaries and pre-meditated murder/theft). Try to understand why they did what they did, and potentially help them move on from whatever trauma or resentment or what have you led them to believe that the crime(s) they committed was the best/only option. Help them learn skills that are directly transferable to life outside of prison, and allow them the ability to put them to use when/if they're freed; or help them get an education. Or, depending on the location, just treat them like human beings. Human beings that run the crime gamut from honest mistakes and petty crimes to serious atrocities or disgusting acts and should be treated as such, to a point. It's fair to remind them that they're still being punished at the end of the day, but that doesn't mean they need to be placed into a living hell, figuratively speaking.
Isolating them from other gang members may help some people sometimes, but if they have a reason to believe that a better and more lucrative life awaits if they stay away from such people, there's less incentive to take their stories to heart and become more hardened criminals (or actually become one, if their imprisonment was from an accident/spur of the moment crime).
Of course, that would probably also require that prisons be incentivized to do this as opposed to lock up as many people as possible for more funding for bigger prisons (or w/e they want to get more funds for), or something. And this wouldn't do anything for those already well into being criminals or are too psycho/sociopathic to respond well enough, but it'd help anyone not in those two categories.
(granted, I have no real knowledge of the insides of prisons, but.)
I've seen some people asking about the afteraffects of the virus on the lungs once the disease has passed (scarring, etc.), or the fact that it's apparently spreading out to affect other parts of the body (heart, brain). Can't seem to find anything to prove/disprove that, though.
