american news media, for the sake of saving the dumbasses' lives, needs to show footage of ecuador and iran and be like, coming soon to a neighborhood near you, packed morgues and bodies burning in the streets

maybe that would start to make a dent enough to make people at least realize this is real and has extreme consequences that nobody in the US has ever considered possible

Yah, no one in the whitehouse has the brains to put the wheels back onto the capitalist system. Congress can't either because they are also stupid, and their brand is to not agree on anything substantive.


All the action is going to be at the local level. The US will be a patchwork of localities that put in place emergency measures to make life livable, and places that descend into hellscapes.

You can already see lines being drawn were they are halting evictitions and and setting up food distribution, and places that are going to just let people suffer.

This is what has me thinking a military coup is getting more likely in the next decade or so. A patchwork of localities with their own rules is bad for big business and the military, both of which rely on long supply chains and standard procedures across vast distances. They can't operate without a large bureaucratic state to back them. But the bureaucratic state is quickly disintegrating and lacks the ability to repair or perpetuate itself - the Venn diagram of "People capable of effective government" and "People capable of winning elections" is two circles a thousand miles apart. There's a crisis of government legitimacy and a crisis of government effectiveness simultaneous with all the other various crises.

The only organ of government left with sufficient administrative ability, cross-state authority, and public support to resolve these crises is the military.

Are you sick of eating beans for weeks?

Then gently caress you, beans are life. But also, make quick pickles to accompany your beans. The vinegar, spices, and crunch will really liven up your rice and beans.


Quick pickles

Slice up some vegs. Thick slices for max crunch.
Carrots
Jalapenos
Onion
Garlic, just crush the cloves

Put the sliced vegetables in a large bowl and set aside.

Boil some brine (scale amounts so you have enough to cover vegs, but don't add veg yet).
1 cup water
1 cup vinegar (cider or whatever you got)
1 tbsp salt
Some spices, I suggest black peppercorns, crushed red pepper, coriander, mustard seed, allspice, couple cloves. All spices should be whole, not ground. I recommend going heavy on the coriander. Pickled coriander seeds are great on their own.

Boil the brine and spices for several minutes, then pour the hot brine over the vegetables. This will barely cook the surface of the carrots so they carry more flavor, but still keep their crunch.

Let cool, then store in the fridge. It'll keep for a long time (at least a few weeks). The garlic will turn blue-green. This is a normal chemical reaction to the vinegar, doesn't affect flavor.

If you use mustard seeds and/or bay leaf in your spices, they will keep the veggies crunchy longer, even if the veg is cut smaller.

If you glue shut the exhale valve on an N95 that has one, will the filter material be damaged by the 2-way flow or will it be good?

You can probably still find some N95 prefilters at the hardware store. They're semi-ovaloid/trapezoidal and a little bigger than a credit card. They're used in addition to the cartridges for painting etc. Anyway, I bet you could fit one of those over the exhaust valve

A relative of mine is blaming China and says the Dems must be laughing their asses off.

They implied Sweden is doing a "common sense" strategy.

When I looked it up, Sweden is leaving it up to individual responsibility to contain the virus and has not closed down much business.

Time will tell whether that goes well for Sweden (I doubt it), but lol at the idea of America pulling that off when we've already seen Zoomers getting crunk at the beach in hordes and chuds spitting on an entire grocery store's inventory.

I'd imagine any kind of plan that Trump is talking about for government subsidized medical service at hospitals is exactly that - talk. Just like the drive-through testing in walmart parking lots and so many other things. He will just say that it is happening over and over (and maybe honestly believe that it is happening?), and it won't actually happen, but enough people will think that it is happening that it doesn't matter so he gets all of the credit without actually doing anything.

Plus looks like the evidence is mounting that masks might be effective at reducing transmission especially for people who go out in public with mild symptoms.
