did my weekly grocery mission

traffic is pretty much back to normal, but the stores i went to are still taking all the same precautions as the past few weeks, thankfully,. Masks required, limited number of customers at a time, every cart getting disinfected in front of you before you grab it, plastic barriers at the registers, marks to help you distance properly in line, and even an offer of more hand sanitizer when you leave. The line to get in the store was the shortest its been since the pandemic started. I waited less than a minute, compared to 15-60+ minutes the last several times i went.

And despite the heatwave, the park/lake was barely more crowded than a typical weekend, rather than jam packed like the past few times i passed by. Still more crowded than a typical week day, but way better. lol I guess everyone got called back to work :sad:
trader joes seems like the only store that gives a poo poo tbf

but yeah i had to drive to a construction site in SF yesterday and traffic in the morning at 7am was basically a normal rush hour, and coming back was about the same being backed up all the way to caesar chavez. feels good to have normalcy restored. open er UP

The excess deaths stats in March had covid diagnoses missing something like 30% deaths that were probably attributable to it, and we can be drat sure the south and a lot of the Midwest is intentionally undercounting as it ramped up there. 200% is probably too high but we have to be at at least 160k excess dead by end of May (in a few months I can look back at this post and see if I'm right )

well those 4 states have a combined 10,000 uncounted deaths, so i just extrapolated from there. Also consider those reports from a month or two ago about how death rates in certain areas (Bergamo is one i remember specifically) were 4 times higher than at the same point last year, but with most of them not counted as corona deaths....just a ton of extra deaths from "old age" and heart failure and pneumonia and whatnot, at the same time as the pandemic that wrecks old people's poo poo and causes heart failure and pneumonia, how mysterious

I got chewed out in the LA thread for suggesting that maybe it sucks that we're not social-distance spreading human shoppers and workers out into all possible hours of the day, instead of vastly cutting worker/store hours until they're limited to during peak times during the day only just because demand dropped

Feral kids running wild through the halls, struggling to remember basic skills like sitting down and listening to the teacher. Teachers openly chugging wine coolers in the class, forgetting they're not on Zoom. Parents abandoning their kids for weeks at a time at school to make up for lost time. It will be glorious.

yeah i thought it'd be neat to have, like, little tokens or something for designated shopping hours/days. like make an appointment to go to the grocery store. that way the store would know who was coming in and could staff appropriately.

Traffic here in ORLO is almost back to what it was before the March/April shutdown.

Also the big tourist traps like Universal and Disney are planning to open up in June and July.

haha we are so hosed. i just heard about a fourth restaurant in town that's had a COVID this week; the 2nd to not report it and is just staying the gently caress open (neighbor kid works down the street at Taco John's)

Its not even like I'm particularly connected to the industry, and dining rooms have only been open in my county since Friday, and there's only like 200k people in the metro....

just completely, utterly hosed lmao

Major scandals do not exist in the post escalator world. We're barely a week away from Trump firing an inspector General and openly announcing it was because the person being investigated asked him to and no one even remembers it happened.

i thought this is what we were gonna get

lots of little innovations and creative ways to keep life going safely, but instead we got bullshit. are we just totally afraid of creating and growing?

back in march i even got to design a few concepts for stuff like this. my favorite was "night at the museum", where we make museums appointment only and keep some going for 24 hours a day. wandering through a nearly empty Met Museum at 3am in the morning would be badass

but all of those concepts were dependent on getting a shitload of monetary support for institutions from the government. instead, that 3 trillion or whatever went straight into the hands of the ultra rich. now we'll be lucky if America has any museums left. so maybe we're not afraid of creating and growing. we're just so strangled by capital that creative solutions are impossible.

capitalism has no solutions beyond "go to work, spend what you earn, possibly die, but maybe you won't, either way the real humans keep getting rich"
