This sudden push to open up for "second quarter" is loving insane. Half a year of local politicians and school boards talking about the important of metrics and trusting science and etc , then bam, gently caress all that open up baby but let's just say it's woke so no one can blame us

It covers more of my face than I expected. The top of the mask is about level with the corners of my eyes. There's just no room at all for my chunky plastic frame nerd glasses, and barely enough room for the nose strap on the swim goggles.

Edit: Maybe I just have a small face, idk. Just wanted to share the issue I had with it, and how I resolved it, in case anyone else has the same problem

Bold of you to assume we have a century. Or that nuclear weapons don't change the calculus on that one. Also, China still has it's farming problems, which they still need to figure out.

This is going to be the century of poo poo. Strap in as 40-80% of us die off.

It's not really. It's less bad in the blue states that had it the worst because we've opened up more slowly, so we're still earlier in our "poo poo's hosed" curves.

I think they're doctoring their people.

Imagine, a country where if you have a dangerous infectious disease, you get care instead of going bankrupt for admitting you're sick.

I am sorry, that must really suck. Fortunately for me my best friend and his wife are just as careful as we are so I get to see my goddaughter every week because we only see each other usually. And if we don't we make sure to wait several days before meeting again.
