I don't know when I'll feel safe getting on a plane again, lmao

Also, "easily canceled"

There is no real downside to southwest's CEO lying, if you get it on a plane it takes a median of 5 days for symptoms to appear so it's not like you can prove that it came from your plane trip.

Weird how we don't care about any of these problems until one of them goes out of control and fucks up the economy. Now everything except the thing that hosed up the economy is also Super Important and therefore we can't address any of it, back to work.

I'm reading some dumb article and this:

— Arrows on the ground, and other physical markers to encourage and enforce distance. Imagine sidewalks with scoring every 6 feet (2 meters) so those walking could make sure they’re the human equivalent of a few car lengths behind. Or large sculptures deployed to separate people.

I'm not the first person to say it but I hate that everyone latched onto the magic 6 feet thing. ESPECIALLY walking down a loving sidewalk.

They have more than you'd think, namely Scott Adkins movies. Extraction isn't bad either

My Big Movie Advice is to make a justwatch list of like 100 movies then filter by the service you want to use (or multiple) since about 10-20% of the movies you want to see will be on any given service (with kanopy/hoopla, the free library ones, having the most)

I haven't budged from my initial prediction that it started somewhere else and either a military or affluent travelers brought it there, on account of literally every plague being the result of military movements/training or rich people who just vacation 24/7

this is also the reason why the wrong country usually takes the blame, because it first "appears" in some area that is actually willing or able to recognize it in the first place lol

unfortunately we won't know for years and it won't matter even if it turns out it started in France or wherever


edit - this isn't out of some affection for China or anything, just that I refuse to believe it couldn't have started spreading on some US boat and broke out from there until it affected a nation that wasn't totally psychotic like we are

Well, the 2019 Military World Games took place at the end of October last year, in some obscure Chinese city called Wuhan or something.

The Post Office is one of those great examples of republicans cutting off their nose to spite their face, because loving over the USPS specifically does enormous harm to remote rural areas that overwhelmingly vote republican.

I thought I read that the full guideline was don’t stand within 6 feet for more than 10 minutes. So blazing by someone on the trail is okay. I also read that way back before the cdc recommended ordinary mask wearing so maybe the 10 minutes bit was just hopeful naivete on their part also.

voters are just a vehicle to be able to make these decisions. they don’t give a poo poo and there’s no face they are spiting.

Republicans hate their base more than they hate anyone else. You're Ted Cruz and you know that the only people who will ever vote for you are shithead idiots who you are going to spend the rest of your life placating so you can enrich yourself. Your job is to convince them you're serving them and if someone ever comes along who is more racist than you they'll take your job. It breeds resentment that you can't ever express except in doing things like killing the post office.

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian told employees Wednesday that it could take two to three years for the airline’s business to recover from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

The airline is carrying about 5% of its normal passenger loads, Bastian told CNBC in an interview, as demand for air travel has nearly disappeared because of the virus and measures to stop it from spreading such as stay-at-home orders.
