it's been incredible watching DC journalists try to figure out what PPE is during this crisis. PPE is meant to help minimize risk, it's not a cure all. literally millions of people in the US use PPE everyday in their jobs and know this already.

MysteriousStranger posted:this is one of those "it's expensive to be poor" things. Throwing several hundred dollars at quality shoes or boots (hell or jacket or belt) and it will last decades, if not outlast you. Not doing this and you have to buy every few years again and it fucks up your feet and knees. I bought nice shoes one time only and immediately ruined them because I had to walk a long way in the snow which had salt in it and didn't know that expensive shoes, unlike my hiking boots, required daily maintenance of another pair of shoes on top of them So I gave up and just wore hiking boots with my suit instead. Still mad at the money I wasted

Shageletic posted:crack ping right here dont even get me started on wisconsin i grew up kinda poor, just a rung above living in a trailer park, in a stupid half-rural/half-suburban town, but the public school system of Wisconsin was very good to me, from elementary school lunches to professors at the local community college who set me up to do some interesting things. now you can just feel the conservative dumbness growing everywhere, the community college i went to got gutted and my old professors have to teach at like three different satellite campuses, probably not as available to their students as they were for me. idk where else to move to right now but im ready to peace out on these ruddy fuckers here in the dairy state

I won't lie, I legitimately hope Madagascar's crazy herbal tonic is not the obvious snake oil it is and it cures coronavirus completely with no side effects and then they Black Panther it and don't allow anyone but African nations get it.

If I order $100 worth of beer I can get it delivered to me. Should I order that much beer? Do I need that much beer? I should probably be working on my sobriety but this world is pretty poo poo and beer is tasty and makes life more tolerable

Yeah it's pretty cool that all the states doing the right thing and quarantining are just going to be reinfected because of the absolute dumbest people in the country being openly manipulated by the richest people in the country.

Throwing several hundred dollars at quality shoes or boots (hell or jacket or belt) and it will last decades, if not outlast you. Not doing this and you have to buy every few years again and it fucks up your feet and knees. The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness. Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms clockwork chaos has issued a correction as of 18:10 on May 14, 2020 |

Goon-with-probably-covid update: having shallow breaths now that I'm sitting in a chair, but my OxSat is still 98 and my temp is only slightly elevated at 98.6. I'm taking an aspirin once a day and trying to keep the place warm (furnace is busted and I'm going to just use the space heater instead of letting Chuddy McFuckhead the maintenance guy in here to talk about how COVID was invented by the Jews or whatever). I called my doctor yesterday. She called back today. I asked if there was a way I could get a test and she said "Well you have to go to the emergency room. There aren't actual testing facilities here. There were plans but now that we're reopening, they've been basically cancelled. Fair warning if you go to the ER, they don't really have enough tests so a lot of people have been going, getting potentially exposed, and then being told sorry there's no tests available try again tomorrow. So I know you have shallow breathing but if it's not actually painful to breathe, just hold on and don't get tested unless it gets physically difficult to breathe." So. You know. America.

The plus side is that with an r0 that's probably going to be above 6 for people who are intentionally making political points, they should all get it within a month and locked down states (Illinois) can open up a month after since it will have gone through 100% of sconnies, Hoosiers, Missourians, michiganders and Iowans by then
