yeah this will be a denialist talking point, and it will morph to "are you related to anybody who had it" "are you related to anyone who die from it" "did anyone in your immediate family get it/die from it" to finally "did you die from it" lol

Not to mention the 2+ million people that the country keeps cloistered for all 4 seasons, sometimes for life behind bars. A shelter in place order is truly a human rights violation

I went to the trail again today and I could count the number of masks on one hand, out of about 40 people. just strolling along the trail in groups of two to a half dozen, not a care in the world

it was the first 70+ degree day here all year after being cooped up for over six weeks of cold, raw, lovely weather and I guess people couldn't take it anymore

to be honest I didn't wear a mask either but I was running the whole time and kept a healthy distance from everyone

you have to take as many precautions as you can but literally staying cloistered for the entire spring and summer is going to be a huge ask for anyone who isn't already a goony shut-in
I've been going to a trail a couple times a week but it's a trail that doesn't normally get that much traffic, it's pretty wide, and I've been sticking to early morning on days that aren't the nicest. Even still I feel like I'm probably going to have to stop now that it's getting warmer here.

One time I went a little bit later in the day on a weekend and it was insane. There were all these groups of people spread out across the trail so it was impossible to safely pass them.

Yeah it was negative but my doctor doesn't think I am (I don't think she trusts the tests) but I'm feeling a little bit better this afternoon actually. Mornings are still bad with my lungs however my entire body isn't under crushing pain right now but my throat hurts. She'll maybe have me get an antibody test if they pass some trial but I think it's pointless. I think I have something else, somehow, maybe? I've been really sick

e: thank you for asking :)

if it is covid watch out for that period where you start feeling better before it blasts you into pieces

The original outbreak started from a few seeders from airports and ports. Reopening starts from 100.000s of seeders spread uniformly over the country. This is gonna be bad.

I think a lot of people are using it as a benchmark for quantifying personal risk. In countries like mine with low numbers, most people don't even have a friend of a friend story about covid, let alone actually know someone who has had it.

That lack of any personal connection to it definitely influences people's behaviour as restrictions are being lifted.

tell them your internet friend's wife's friend's mom in michigan got it and had to be on a ventilator, also that two of your internet friend's church friends got it but were under 40 so pulled through without much issue (since they were health workers they actually got tested and were positive and quarantined instead of going into work)

no, human rights violations are fine if someone committed literally any crime of any kind at all whatsoever, if they didn't want to be brutally murdered or killed by a terrible disease inside our poorly maintained prisons with hellish conditions, they shouldn't have stolen a loaf of bread. just follow the law. it's that simple

Mask question.

I have a small batch of surgical masks I got from a family friend. My partner and I are alternating once-a-week trips to the local shop to pick up things like milk and fruit/veg every Monday. Neither of us are coughing or sneezing much, and we're only wearing them for the 15 mins it takes to go to pick up some essentials.

Would they be reusable if we sprayed them down with disinfectant and went through them on a rota? We've only got 10 right now. I know the roni won't last 10 weeks on a surface but are there any other factors we should be considering?

disinfectant might damage the fibers of the masks and decrease the effectiveness. there was a study linked in the first covid thread about it but gently caress if I can find it right now. the best way to disinfect (N95s) is with an oven, but not recommended to do at home bc of contamination risk.

I just leave mine outside inbetween trips (a week+) and have some cloth masks for taking out the trash/getting mail that I hand wash in hot soapy water after use

i suspect their favorite thing about may 1st as a reopen date is that it was a friday so then daily deaths will appear to drop and people will continue becoming convinced that it's over, because americans really truly are that stupid


lol we have already lost more people than this. we are well above 100k, it's just lovely counting. but chuds are going around claiming the opposite, that they're overcounting.

it's ok, we will breeze past those numbers in literally one week anyway.
