AreWeDrunkYet posted:The people cutting regulations don't believe in them in the first place, present circumstances are just an excuse. If they get lucky and no one dies, when things calm down it will be easier to say "see, we never needed that regulation in the first place." Yeah Trumo just sees regulations as being anti-business and anti-profit. Never forget this moment from 2017: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/941406242785955841 quote:In January, Trump signed an Executive Order requiring agencies to slash two regulations for every new regulation put into place.

Remember that idiot billionaire in Australia who bought tens of millions of doses of hydroxychloroquine "just in case" and donated them to the national stockpile? He then went around doing a bunch of interviews and ad campaigns claiming that they'd helped reduce the number of covid deaths in the country and everyone told him to shut the gently caress up https://twitter.com/ABCFactCheck/status/1263236591306170370 Some state borders in Australia are still closed and this same fuckwit got denied entry to WA just recently and you'll never guess how he reacted https://twitter.com/h24news_au/status/1265105019541622784

It's wilful ignorance borne of the privilege of being in a country that can recklessly smash its way through whatever is in its path due to its influence, and in doing so ends up providing them just enough that they're comfortable without ever really developing an interest in the world around them or any great aspirations that may push them outside their little bubble.

Blistex posted:If that happens, you're going to see a shitload of teachers, admin, support, and maintenance staff getting infected and potentially dying because they were put into a situation where they were not being protected. Also parents who have kids who get infected and bring it home will probably try their hand at a lawsuit as well. School boards are going to have to make some tough decisions as well as the government. We've had a fairly successful lockdown in Australia so far and some states have already started re-opening schools. In NSW high schools they brought back the senior students starting May 11 and the other year levels have had partial or staggered re-openings. They're still pretty cautious about the virus though, and several schools have already had to temporarily evacuate after a student tested positive: https://www.theage.com.au/national/nsw/waverley-college-evacuates-after-student-tests-positive-to-covid-19-20200526-p54wfm.html quote:"We wish to advise you that Waverley College has been informed by NSW Health that a student on the Senior Campus has tested positive for COVID-19," the school's message to parents said. quote:NSW Health is working with the school to identify and notify close contacts of the student, who was not on campus on Tuesday. It's all a delicate balancing act and if conditions deteriorated they'd have to re-evaluate and possibly wind things back. They're cautiously optimistic but still extremely concerned and are willing to act quickly if needed. Contrasting that with the situation in the US where the lockdown has been lovely and there's a lack of testing and institutions seem slow to react .......... I have no loving idea how you guys are going reopen schools with any semblance of safety or caution.

Still, wearing mine is a good constant reminder to keep things away from my face. The symptoms I have now are identical to when I get a cold. Comes on sudden, hits hard for two days and leaves a clogged nose for a week. I’m going to keep an eye out and go to the doctor if it’s worse tomorrow.

Wait. I'm looking at the previous page and there are people in America who don't know our death count? How? How the gently caress? You can look up that information in 2 seconds. It's on the news every day (at least here in New Jersey where I am.) How the gently caress do you not know, let alone live in such an idiotbubble that it's that shocking to you? The whole world has stopped spinning and people don't loving bother to look up the latest updates on this poo poo? Everyone wants this poo poo to end. How is anyone not keeping themselves in the loop unless you're a little kid? I can't wrap my head around it. How the gently caress could anyone not know?

lmao if you think there's some finite number of stupid people, and if some of them die, then woohoo! we are rid of that kind of stupid forever!! Almost all rank-and-file people in the "it's just the flu" and "OPEN AMERICA NOW"-type camps are some combination of ignorant, misinformed, or just plain duped. They are largely victims of a gazillion-dollar media hate machine spanning from social media to Fox News and Breitbart and whatever else, all of which are extremely good at exploiting the dumb and dark sides of human nature (of which there are many). And don't forget the power of good 'ol tribalism in all this as well. I realize that many people can be intensely aggravating, but your hate is much better directed at the Rush Limbaughs/Tucker Carlsons of the world than the people under their thrall. People like them know that COVID-19 is serious but keep insisting otherwise. Zugzwang fucked around with this message at 06:11 on May 26, 2020 |

I could probably go the rest of my life and never see or hear from Rush/Tucker/Hannity. Can't say as much about their listeners who all seem to want to tell me about them where I live. I'd rather listen to people tell me about Alex Jones but I have yet to have that happen in real life, unfortunately. edit: oh wait, the first part is not strictly true because every hospital, doctor's office, and other public place with a TV is always on Fox News.
