How can you live or work in DC and think that half the country won't wear a mask?? Almost everyone around here is compliant or willing to be compliant. At my store there is maybe 1 person out of 1000 that doesn't wear a mask, and when I tell them it's required.. they all get one. I've had maybe 2 people in the last few months get upset and leave, out of the tens of thousands of customers.

If it has a true HEPA filter then yeah it'll work. Just let her buy it for you to make her happy than to haggle over the price of making a corsi cube yourself.

These things are all about the same. Any of them with an actual HEPA filter will be fine. You won't push anywhere near as much air as a corsi cube and it's going to be louder, though.

My chef is adding goofy new poo poo to the menu like it's a regular day. We can't get random ingredients, trucks arrive late because they're running out of drivers, guys are coming to work sick until they literally can't get out of bed in the morning, our testing site might be out of tests, our quarantine dorm is double full, we hired less than a third of the student help we need, pork is illegal in California or something now, and this moron is adding deep dish pizza to my menu?

I'm WFH so until the internet collapses I'll still have to do my job while also managing virtual schooling. Not that I have it bad.

i love the “we have no idea where we got covid from!” ppl.

when i visited a friend who caught covid november 2020 i got that exact line from him (for the second or third time). and without even prying much it was revealed they were going to multiple restaurants.

hmmm yeah its a loving mystery!!

It’s hard to know exactly where you got covid when you go to so many places full of covid tbf

Pair this with “we’ve done everything right!” Every person I know that caught covid and said this actually means “wore cloth masks to restaurants and parties” and it’s a mystery solved by looking at their social media.

euphronius posted:

they will eventually be reported because people need death certificates for life insurance claims, social security payouts, deed transfers etc

People can lie all they want about how their family members died and government can get as creative as they want with reporting but eventually all the bodies get counted. At least in the US your existence is tied to paperwork and that paperwork is going to get done. We’ve already seen this in the life insurance industry, who are not even a little bit fooled about how many people are dying and what they’re dying of.

Didn’t we find out itt that it’s actually because a bunch of high level people at the cdc think people are too stupid to wear an N95 and that actually useful masks are wasted on their dumb chud faces? Because I think that turned out to be the reason, that they’re super far up their asses and think we’re too dumb to live.

And maybe they’re not wrong but I think it’s bad health policy.

D&D isn't normal and this thread actually underestimates the number of people who are taking COVID very seriously. It's still not a lot of people, but it's also not just this thread.

D&D is filled with well off white libs who have bought into the Party, of course they are going to spout the Party line

In addition, the media doesn't report on people taking Covid seriously anymore because the MSM line is that its just the flu, its "mild", get back to work, so any reports contrary are going to get squashed. This thread feels isolated because the propaganda machine wants to make everyone who takes Covid seriously feel isolated

I feel like we're already off the cliff, but it hasn't affected work at all. Our building is still packed with students who aren't wearing masks, but I have to go teach them every day. I'm not comfortable here, but most of my coworkers seem fine (I probably seem fine outwardly too, so maybe they're like me idk). "Bad, but act like it's fine" has been the name of the game for two years now.

It’s like the statement about “free speech”: if the best defense a person has of an action is that it is not literally illegal, that is an indictment of the action.

yeah the propaganda machine working overtime makes you think no one but this thread cares about covid, but there are definitely people that still care. no theyre not cavers wearing elastomerics but they “care” and “take precautions.”

i guess what im saying is, no, not everyone outside this thread is monica gandhi or a d&d ghoul.

"Perhaps you think this is shallow. You are right! Life should be shallow sometimes. I used the first lockdown to create a perfect cross-stitch replica of Hokusai’s Great Wave Off Kanagawa, and the third to read and discuss several of Shakespeare’s history plays with like-minded friends on Zoom. I cannot honestly say whether these activities made me a better person.


None of these people ever say what they actually want which is: "I want to be able to go to restaurants and movies and whatever else I want to do without being reminded that I might be spreading a virus. It's inconvenient to me to be reminded that I might be doing something wrong, not because I care, but because the implication is that I should care, and that bothers me."

sure if you measure the pandemic in hospitalizations it's easy to make things look bad. try using spiderman ticket sales as a metric and get back to me.
