i read an article recently about how some brits are treating this like a sabbatical. the govt pays 80% of their salary.

i know everyone itt probably knows that already but i have to keep reminding myself to appreciate how deeply stupid the US is being about this

Australia has mandatory quarantine for returning travellers. Sure hope anyone who goes on a cruise during the remainder of this year has to foot the quarantine bill themselves.

Whatever happened to international travel being the last restriction Australia is going to lift?

the myth of sisyphus is a masterpiece and imo makes a strong case for a very useful answer to a Big Question

honestly online leftists would probably have better lives in general if they self identified as Camus readers instead of as Marx understanders

Well that's you misunderstanding badly.

I said Camus was a shitbag with no real answers (which also describes Marx) - and I stand by that statement.

But I also recommended reading his works.

Because he asks questions worth asking - and equally acknowledges he doesn't have the real answers, because that would be rather missing the point.

I'm pretty sure Aus border closure isn't getting lifted anytime soon, they're staying closed for at least another 3 months I think I heard Scotty from marketing say.
These cruise lines are being insanely optimistic, but maybe they are planning on cruises that just cruise between Australian ports to begin with or from Aus to NZ when that border finally reopens.

Also I'd like to call it now that the next hotspot is going to be the Great Lakes states. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are all trending upwards. The only exception is Michigan, but they got smacked hard a few weeks ago and aren't loving around like the rest of them are.

in context I thought you were making a joke by recommending Camus. like to help the guy overcome his prodromal nihilism

maybe I misunderstand what you mean by "real answers." I offered an example of an answer that has utility because that's what makes an answer real to me

This is just like video games. The vocal minority of poo poo heads complaining are getting all the attention. The majority at home minding their own business aren't causing a ruckus so it seems like the majority of people want to open up.

Also lol at the country telling people to stay home and only giving out 1200 one time. This dumb fuckin country sucks.

guess they're gonna be in quarantine for the next 2 weeks since that hospital has corona patients

I stopped by every 5-6 days to check up on them (I don't go anywhere else except to the grocery, and I self-isolate for 5+ days after each trip to ensure I don't have it) and I guess that routine is now down to "drop off food at the front porch, wave through the window, and leave"

gotta say its fantastic being able to point to state regs and say "nope, state still says no, gently caress off, we're just complying with the law"

theres a ton of chuds in the UP but they're a ten hour drive from lansing so all they can do is whine online. everyone has been really good about things and we're still at zero cases in the last three weeks. as soon as the state opens up and vacationers have somewhere to park the RV we're doomed. the regional health department is already forecasting our peak to be june/july.

this depends entirely on the nature of immunity to the disease, which seems to be better than the worst case of "it hides in your nerves sometimes and re-emerges and ALSO you can get reinfected immediately" but we really don't know much yet

Manufacturing arm of my company has been essential for weeks so production has been coming in, while management said they are going to slow roll any change to the WFH order for engineering. Outdoor seating at restaurants will be a new aspect but we still have beaches and such closed. Gov is also allowing uncomfortable/unsafe workers for opened business collect unemployment.

As much as I really dont want to say this and rather we find a way to stay closed to minimize deaths, I feel like we will at least be a good learning opportunity for a phased approach applicable to many rural areas of the country that arent making a move yet.
