I'M HAVING A HOOT EATING CORNETTE THE LONG WAY

there's no loving way there's an Iowa State Fair this year. the fairgrounds are full of temporary housing for one, but also, imagine the liability. at the very least it's in Des Moines City limits so despite all else the mayor can declare "gently caress off with 100,000 people packed into a flat 300 acres"

I'm dealing with people who still think there are going to be corporate sport leagues starting on June 1

They are going to try. God bless. Please report your health daily to this website.

Two friends of mine recently told me about a tactic that they had used to end interminably long video calls at a former job, and that could easily work during the pandemic as well. When they were ready for the call to be over, they’d freeze their face and body in place for a moment, to make it seem as if their Wi-Fi had gone out, and then very carefully, off-camera, hit the End Call button. Followed up with a short message such as “Whoops, I think my internet cut out. I think we’re done, but let me know if you have any questions!,” the “frozen face” worked exceptionally well.

Destiny Lopez, a graduate student currently at home with her mother in Waterbury, Connecticut, told me about a more surreptitious way to get out of a group video call. It’s the digital equivalent of casually backing out of a conference room and hoping no one notices: “I turned off my audio slowly, and then I turned off my camera slowly, and then I just left the meeting,” she said. “I just cut off a small piece of myself, little by little, and then I'm out.”

chud talking point, but lol:

supply chains assume a significant portion of Americans are making GBS threads at work, and all the tweaks to make sure you aren't stealing tp from work mean they can't repurpose it for the retail/home market. lol

Any other med goons able to weigh in on OSU using nitric oxide to stabilize people before a vent would be necessary or avoid it altogether

NO2 dilates the arteries, lowering blood pressure and demand on the heart. you give it to people who are suffering chest pain, either from a heart attack or an MI.

i guess in this they're trying to dilate the pulmonary vessels so more blood can move and more gas exchange can take place.

they also mention "anti viral properties" which is probably just them trying to get funding.

however, vasodilation is also a part of the inflammatory response, so this strikes me as something that would bring more inflammatory mediators to the lungs which is what you don't want.

that doesn't sound like much honestly

no flour at my grocery store, but I already got a little extra. stockpile when you can. it's very weird to have my agoraphobia and hypervigilance flare up and my therapist tell me that im actually doing fine because this poo poo is what PTSD was made for lol. I'll be wearing safety goggles next time I'm out. i also have moments of extreme fear and rage whenever I see someone without a mask. u fukkin superspreader pieces of poo poo. I imagine anyone under 50 without a mask was probably at one of those loving protests and are just smugly shedding virus everywhere.

i highly recommend cheap clear snowboard goggles, it's what i wore for years while winter cycling. works well in dealing with the issues you'll have with fogging

last time i went out was in march wearing the goggles and mask and everyone thought i was crazy but it was them! they were the crazy ones!

I left my apartment for the first time in 11 days to go grocery shopping

almost everyone at the grocery was wearing a mask, except the employees (RIP) and a few chuds

very dramatic shift compared to the last time I went grocery shopping where only a few others aside from myself were wearing a mask

the cashier in the liquor section was wearing a mask, was the only employee in the whole store wearing one, pretty sure it was against orders too. hope he gets to keep his job

loved watching the mayor of Las Vegas say absolutely anything no matter how brain-worm infested to justify opening up the casinos because the CEOs are mad. while carrying water for the CEOs she grotesquely kept claiming the workers wanted to get back to work without specifying any protective measures.

love hearing from CEOs, landlords, and small business tyrants talk about how much their helplessly vulnerable workers want to valiantly go over the top for their profits.

this pandemic is an interesting variation on WWI
