I think people need to understand that, no hyperbole whatsoever, 2020 is fully cancelled. All of it. You think the county fair is going to happen? Parades and packed beaches on teh 4th of July? lmao. I don' expect to travel for loving Thanksgiving. Especially since a bunch of my my extended family are fully Koolaid drinking MAGA chuds. The local county fair here is STILL "waiting on government guidance", as if it wouldn't be an unmitigated disaster to hold an event where 1.5 million people all share and touch the same poo poo for a month. A dozen or so people got infected and a toddler died last year from en e coli outbreak there.

What we have now is what we'll have until a vaccine is developed in 5 or 10 years and people's heads are just not remotely there

I was just spitballing coming up with a conspiracy theory that 5G helps kill the virus on surfaces and that the whole anti-EMF community is actually a long-term Russian astroturfing campaign to get people to avoid the healthy disinfecting power of wifi and cell tower signals.

in NZ we've reduced our new cases to 18, down from ~55 a day at peak. I expect it will jump up a bit after Easter though, as we get a dip during the weekend maybe we can have christmas?

guitartorch posted:I have N95 that I've been to the store with and when im done I just leave them on the floor of the car under the seat. Can I wear them again if they've been there for weeks or what You can reuse it, but the virus remains infectious for at least a week (!) in the N95 masks tested in one study, so handle with care. Do not attempt to disinfect with a wet cleaner because that will wreck the material’s fine structure and make it an ineffective filter.

It's certainly possible that this thing will put a big dent in the antivaxx movement eventually, but I doubt it will. I would love to be wrong about that, and I don't enjoy being cynical, but doubling and tripling down seems to be all the rage these days  Platystemon posted:You can reuse it, but the virus remains infectious for at least a week (!) in the N95 masks tested in one study, so handle with care.

Zugzwang posted:You're not wrong. Another sad thing to think about is that a nontrivial chunk of the population will refuse the vaccine even if & when it's developed, which will make things a whole lot worse for everyone else. You should be, realistically, EXTREMELY cynical. Look at the MAGA universe. People don't even want to do the drat census because BiG GOBMINT. We would still have massive problems with a functioning federal government and a non-mentally ill president but this is an absolute nightmare considering the ghouls in charge of everything.

I misremembered slightly and it was surgical masks, not N95 masks, but it ain’t just RNA. Are N95s as bad as surgical masks? Who knows! Platystemon fucked around with this message at 07:44 on Apr 12, 2020 |

Given that facts are considered partisan, this stress on the system, maybe a hurricane, some tornados, an earthquake for good measure, I'm wondering if this is it. Would have been nice to last until 2026.

EA Sports posted:hey guys i thought alot about it and came to the conclusion if you can contract this through your mucosa peoples eyes are a major point of entry. eyeslids just swipe across the eyes and push debree towards mucosal tear ducts. pretty big flaw imo. also if ur circumsized ur dick head is mucosal so you should probably be wearing a condom when out in public.

My dad went to Walmart today so I made him wear a P100 half-face respirator. He said no one in the Walmart gave a flying gently caress, snotty kids running around (with both parents present, so not like one couldn't stay at home with the kids), arrows to direct lanes that everyone ignored to a T, fat people with the masks around their double chins and not their actual faces, a meth-head accosting everyone, staff and managers with no masks, and on and on.

Well, loving NEXT TIME, instead of $1200 stimulus checks, how about just $300 to give everyone an already-stockpiled gas mask, a block of govt cheese, and a 30-pack of Soylent. We'd be done in like two weeks.
