I think if you wear garlic cloves and hang em up everywhere it will protect you from the virus. Or maybe vampires idk all that garlic will definitely protect you from something or other

They referred to their post on facebook that was related to the spanish (kentucky?) flu of 1918 which was just anecdotal nonsense about leaving out cut-up onions to absorb viruses. It actually works because your house smells like rotting onions before long and then, voila! No visitors to your house. You've achieved social distancing.

Anyway yep, making yourself smell like pungent onions might in fact protect from the corvids because nobody will come near you.

The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones... Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say.

My wife was talking to one of our neighbors. Neighbor is pregnant, and so they were commiserating about mom gripes together (because being pregnant is horrible) Neighbor was saying she was super nauseous, and was having trouble eating, keeping food down, or even preparing food! "Have you asked your doctor about some anti nausea medication? That stuff was amazing for me." "Yeah, he prescribed some but called it into a Costco, and I'm not going there while they're doing that whole mask thing  "Vomiting all day and starving to own the libs.

I have to honestly say that I would not be surprised if I wake up tomorrow to read that people are on trial for being witches. The overt stupidity that is being unleashed thanks to Trumps example is staggering. It's like everyone who had a stupid though, but knew it was stupid and hid it from the world, has now been unchained. "Well Trump says stupid poo poo all day, so gently caress it".

How do we squelch the spread when some places refuse to shut down and people drive many hundreds of miles for a haircut/restaurant meal, then drive back home after spending time in close contact with people who've also come from far away places?

Florida has over 2100 deaths now, it hasn't been dropping off. They also fired the state's data manager because she refused to remove some coronavirus death records. A researcher decided to look at what the normal death count should be vs what it was minus coronavirus and it looks like there are up to 1500 of unexplainable extra deaths.

The obsession with the numbers is bad both ways. The revised charts are also garbage with uneven X axis (March is the same size as Jan & Feb combined), and weird tiny Y axis choices. The ancedotal claim that homicides are down is super suspect as a quick google search of florida homicides shows murder is up everywhere except the city of Miami. Knowing that the state initially hid data from Tampa Bay Times on COVID-19 appearing in JANUARY: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/05/05/patients-florida-had-symptoms-covid-19-early-january/3083949001/ It looks like the clusterfuck of a response missed Florida peaking mid-march, hospitals did clear out a lot of beds in anticipation, which caused unnecessary death and people not seeking out ER treatment. The politics around this just suck, because it seems like Florida has a wealth of data that will never be available or trustworthy. If it was there in January pre-anything, clearly it wasn't spreading as quickly as feared. Or that could be a false trail and it's just peaking now and Memorial Day weekend is gonna be hellish.

So you're attributing the extra deaths to covid even though you admit they're unexplainable? Hrmmmmm

Hrmmmmm A professor in Florida who apparently has been doing corrections of official gov't death misreporting for a while did it, don't blame Philthy. The approach is sound I think? I know the basic concept works when applied in finance. loving with the chart axis and saying "this is why a,b,c" is where it goes tits up. - the core idea is the range of deaths is 0 to all of them. in finance it's useful when every department claims their process will save 25%! as you know the cost to make a product can't actually be negative 1st_Panzer_Div. fucked around with this message at 04:49 on May 22, 2020 |

I work in a liquor store which has been considered essential in my state and interacted with hundreds, maybe thousands of people, and today my sinuses felt all hosed up which I attributed to one of two things. 1)I have coronavirus and will soon spread it to my 6 year old niece and elderly mother or 2)I have done way too much cocaine in the past 72 hours
