Here in Switzerland things are borderline back to normal and seem to be stabilizing. Hair salons, etc, have been open for 3ish weeks now and schools are back in session and there seems to be no noticeable uptick in active cases. This is also with the amount of people wearing masks being basically a rounding error, except in certain situations (hair salons, poo poo like that). I think the Swiss people took it quite seriously thanks to a competent federal authority alongside quality cantonal oversight, a lot of individuals saying #stayhome, the police nudging people in the right direction and basically the infrastructure to handle basically everybody deciding to ride their bikes. The Police were never really arresting people, they broke up the ineveitable protest a couple of times before being proactive and just started preventing them from assembling. For example loving everyone wants to go down to Ticino/Italy for Easter, the Federal government basically said over and over again 'Please I know you want to Ticino for Easter but please don't". And while they didn't prevent people from driving down there, they would pull you over and basically shame you into turning around. In addition, the Swiss version of the PPP was an absolute knockout. Basically you just filled out a form and you had the money a few days later. Not without controversy, but they were also quite open about saying 'yup there's going to be fraud, but in the end it will cost them so much money, it's not worth it'. Basically my takeaway is that if you suck it up like a grownup for a little while, you can get the number of active cases down to a negligible number, and with contact tracing, social distancing and an absence of mass gatherings I think you can keep it together during the summer months. To be fair, I think Switzerland got quite lucky in that Ticino and Italy got hit really hard early which meant people took it more seriously than if it had happened in Portugal/Spain, if that makes sense. This weekend we had a social distancing BBQ with another family, which I was really dreading because the husband, normally just a lame wet blanket, has definitely gone down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. It wasn't as bad as it could be, but he definitely worked his opinion in wherever he could. My wife works in journalism and he was like 'so do you guys tell both sides of the story?' to which she replied 'yes, that's our job' (in more words than that), which he seemed to accept. He also was bragging about all the places he had gone out to eat and stuff and I just shrugged it off, which was my strategy in general.

Same and I personally thought that their decision to close down a lot of green space, at least during the day, was quite short sighted, even at the time. Although I could imagine that people were gathering there at night, but still in general it seemed like people were quite good about keeping apart when out and about, and closing them down just meant that it pushed people closer together. There have been several times, Easter for example, when I"ve kind of held my breath to see if there's an uptick or anything but it doesn't seem to be the case. This could be a big one though. A lot of people traveled.

A lot of the green space is pockmarked because people just set up disposable grills and blacken the poo poo out of their thick skinned sausages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervelat. They also like to start it from scratch, meaning they collect sticks or scrap wood. Many people do this on their balconies.

Australia let another plague ship into port https://twitter.com/Sophiemcneill/status/1265150141809389568 It turns out that the federal department of agriculture was aware some of the crew were unwell and still gave them permission to dock but the local port authorities hadn't got the message and didn't find out there were sick people on board until several days after it'd arrived and some random guy who worked on the pier just happened to bring it up. There's a lot of finger pointing going on now and the minister for agriculture is desperately trying to backpedal and deflect blame. https://www.theage.com.au/national/...526-p54wkx.html State premier's statement: https://www.facebook.com/MarkMcGowanMP/posts/4096763753674801 Also the ship was here to pick up 56,000 live sheep for export to Kuwait and the UAE and there's going to be a three month moratorium on live exports from Australia starting next week and if the ship had been denied entry to port until they'd been checked for coronavirus then they may have missed that window and someone would probably have lost a LOT of money so the timing is all somewhat suspicious.

All live exports should be banned. Given that WA is justifiably gung ho about keeping their borders closed, I hope whichever sheep station greased the wheels gets all the hate in the world.

Im not allergic to poo poo; my ex was, and I happily started making all our food from scratch to keep her healthy. its fun and tastes better and its good for you. Im not saying that the changes dont sound completely insane. They are completely insane and people will probably die. This guy is insufferable though, and people do not listen to insufferable people.

I had to explain that you eat fresh salsa with chips once or twice. Whenever my wife makes 7-layer bean dip it's a borderline Copernican revolution. There is a restaurant in town that sells tacos and they want $25 FOR 3 TACOS. I'll stop ripping on the Swiss and their milquetoast palate now. WRT hairdressers, I had to cut my 2y/o's hair which, except for a couple strays, I think I did quite well.

For all the talk of Fox and the damage it does in providing an echo chamber to PIST OFF boomers, I'm surprised that nobody ever mentions Joe Rogan. He has a huge audience that spans multiple demographics, many of which have no exposure to alt-right talking points and brainwashing aside from what Mr. Rogan slips in there. He used to be a lot more careful about showing his rear end politically, but something really changed in the last year or so. He went from only really making GBS threads on the Clintons to straight up acting like a White House Press Secretary, changing the topic from covid deaths to OBAMAGATE recently.

He is mentioned in this thread from time to time. It's just that's his political opinion is just so temporal that I find a bit annoying when listening to him. He usually just have stoner talk with people and will agree with the last thing he heard most of the time. He only push back when people go mask off on him and some people will self-destruct their career on his show, without him doing much.

my friend picks up some pretty lovely stuff from joe rogan over the years. he had a bit of time telling me about how hard done men are by women and how mens rights people have a point which i'm like 99% sure he picked up from joe rogan because i have no idea why he would start talking about it because he was like 20 years old and never had a divorce or whatever. also, he kept going on about how some nazi was just a comedian and wasn't actually a nazi because joe rogan had interviewed him and the nazi had promised he wasn't a nazi. it was the guy who trained his dog to hitler salute while he screamed heil hitler and he then joined a far right group in the uk e: i should say my friend isn't a nazi or a chud or whatever, he's just really impressionable and can be kinda dumb. hemale in pain fucked around with this message at 14:48 on May 26, 2020 |
