Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.

Yes, Yes, No, Yes

I live my life in an anxiogenic state. This first became clear to me at 17 when an acid trip left me with the idea, "the thing most people think of as 'panic' is just what I think of is 'base state'".

Under normal circumstances it's a serious pain in the rear end. Put me in an actual crisis, though? Suddenly my perceptions align with my expectations and I feel very normal.

Also, is that literally everyone except for Trump's 34% death cult who think we're nowhere near the end of this?

It's owns how quickly television commercials used this crisis to sell poo poo.

I pay attention to commercials because marketing fascinates me and was wondering how long it would take before brands changed over to cash in on the pandemic, it was about the middle of march when it was fully ramped up. Knowing that Ford cares that I wash my hands and that they'll differ payments if I lose my job due to covid-19 if I buy one of their trucks really shows they care. When I was driving down the highway the other day for a drive to just get out of my apartment the billboards reflected the same thing and seeing all the coronavirus ads was very OBEY-y

I had to cancel my psychiatrist appointment because they're billing telehealth as an outpatient procedure that counts against my deductible instead of a normal inpatient procedure I just have to pay a copayment for. I didn't realize this for my first appointment so I'm on the hook for a huge bill now glad I caught it before my second appointment that was supposed to be for today. lmao. gently caress everything

So they're starting to relax the lockdown a bit here since the spread's been mostly under control (<6k cases, 120 dead out of 10m population). One of the changes is that now more retail is opened up, so hardware stores are now open. I went for some BEAN growing supplies and it was loving packed. Like way more people than I've ever seen, even bigger crowds than in groceries. Everyone is wearing masks but no "distancing" is taking place whatsoever so if there's any significant number of undiagnosed cases, this is probably not super helpful.

people are treating lockdowns like loving staycations and laughing and smiling every day, knocking out their todo list, and just in general having fun

instead of, you know, obsessively reading the news and rumors, forgetting what the outside world looks like, and consuming substances to dull the pain all day... what we're doing

It looks like they can test for antibodies already but don't have the resources to implement testing on any sort of large scale
A question about the anti-bodies test. Do anti-bodies help prevent reinfection from a coronavirus? My understanding is you can have anti-bodies for a coronavirus, but those anti-bodies do not help the bodies immune system prevent future occurrences like influenza viruses.

I am probably thinking wrong--but it seems the only way the roni is going away is if we hide from it long enough for the virus to die off. And with the confirmation covid is transmittable to domestic animals like cats--fat chance of that happening.

(the silver lining--if my line of thinking is right, we won't be wasting money buying lots of lots new ventilators...)

you can still get sick from it but having antibodies means you are much more likely to just have it develop into cold or mild flu like symptoms than death

we seriously have no idea if antibodies help or you can be reinfected. this virus is only months old to us and virology is like the wild loving west of science with lots of unknowns

the flu "vaccine" doesn't make you immune to getting sick like other vaccines, it just means instead of getting wiped out for a week you'll feel crappy for a few days and maybe miss a day of work*

*provided you are exposed to the like 3 strains of flu the people making the vaccine think will be active that year

If it works like other corona viruses circulating in humans, immunity is not long lasting. 1-2 years before reinfection. The hope is that reinfections will be much milder. There is speculation that common corona viruses infect people for the first time when they are very young, and that's the reason for their mildness in adults. That's a lot of ifs though.
