hehe remember how multiple senators profited bigly off this by selling off their stonks instead of warning the rest of us

Remember how nothing happened to them except they got a little bit richer.

my wife had to go into work two days in a row for "meetings" and "training" for when the store reopens. it ended up being a bunch of dumb bullshit about how they have to value the customers and how important and essential the company is (if you really are essential, provide these things for free to first responders, and not the 25 karens blocking traffic bc they need their cawfee).

all of her coworkers don't want to reopen. they all took the offered catastrophe pay for the maximum amount of time, and if they extend it I expect them all to continue as well. my wife is going to take a leave of absence if they don't extend it.

they were all in agreement at how awful this poo poo is. and my wife today said "when the government and our leaders say they're okay with 3000 dying a day, they mean you, they specifically mean me, a vulnerable person who has a very real chance of dying, they mean my wife, they mean your family and your friends."

one of her coworkers has a friend in New York and their dad died. they had to live with the corpse of their father for two days before someone could take care of it, and then no funeral, just cremation. and we all know this keeps happening.

I feel like some people just can't put themselves in someone else's shoes. imagine how loving awful that is. imagine watching someone you love die and then having them in the same loving room as you for days. and you couldn't do anything to help them. at least you might've gotten to say goodbye.

but no, go get your loving coffees, your mcchicken sandwiches, your crafting projects, keep creating crowds of people because you're bored, keep killing yourselves and everyone else.

i figure they can give the bloodgates another two months before we get to several hundred thousand cases and low five digit deaths per day. At that point there can be no denying it since everyone will have known someone close who has died from this disease. Just found out my grandma's nursing home in rural illinois had 3 people test positive.

thanks for posting this, but eh...they should keep testing more days out.

yeah I'd for sure like them to continue and expand the research, and I'm not ready to like spike the football and dance in the end zone like "get hosed perpetual-reinfection doomer idiots!!!" but it's at least somewhat promising

it also seemingly suggests that every dumbass who thinks they got this last year, or just generally thinks "way more people got this than we realize" is wrong and dumb

love to watch people who went to graduate school at private universities tell people in rural towns who have had their family grow up there for generations that they're settlers actually. it's really cool and definitely shows an interest in people's material conditions

This is a good point but also I grew up in a "generations old" family home that was filled with mold and bugs and was sinking into a swamp and honest to god we could have probably walked 25 miles in either direction and found a hole to live in that was nicer. Lot of people trick themselves into being proud of a bad situation to keep themselves from feeling the weight of the situation which can turn into a trap. I mean a lot of people are plumb hosed or maybe genuinely happy sinking into a swamp but a lot of people convince themselves no matter how many people they know that get out, that they never could and they use ideas like family land or heritage or tradition to stay stuck. Not like now would be a great time to move to the big city but you know what I mean.

Idk. I can't find a therapist who will take me. I've been trying for years. Being turned down by a professional after telling them about your trauma for an hour and still having to pay them is a special kind of violation
I hope this doesn't come across presumptuous, but you don't have to open up to a therapist about trauma until you feel comfortable and/or they've accepted you as a patient. It's not necessary for you to in order to begin the patient-therapist relationship and you are in charge of where that boundary is. If you haven't tried this, I had luck with therapy after finding a therapist who specialized in my specific trauma. Also, not all therapists can treat all problems and will turn a patient down if they literally aren't qualified, this is especially a problem with some Telehealth unfortunately.

I think this phase of "reopen now!" Is more driven by businesses than consumers. They're all staring down imminent bankruptcy and a magical reopening while the pandemic disappears is the only way they stay solvent.

Even my alma mater is talking about how the next academic year will be on campus and everything will be normal with some social distancing policies... because if anything else happens they go bankrupt.

I bet we'll start seeing a lot of dominoes fall soon.

We half assed one lockdown, now we're going back to work to start spreading the disease again. Then someone is going to propose a second more serious lockdown to halt transmission again and that is going to be where the wheels seriously part company from the axle.

They likely won't ban US aircraft outright, they'll just keep 14 day quarantine periods indefinitely which strangles travel anyway.
