It's enraging when people pretend like this only affects and kills old and vulnerable people as if its okay to write them off like an acceptable loss.

gently caress COREY PERRY posted:Estonia, not Latvia. As soon as your step off the ferry in Tallinn there is just liquor store after liquor store selling cases and cases of alcohol to Finns who proceed to spend a night getting hosed up in the old town before turning around and going back to Helsinki with their half-price alcohol. Tallinn was getting too pricey because they started to up taxes and Finns started to go to Latvia instead. You can bring pretty much as much liquor as you can carry from any EU country. The Soviets had similar racks in apartments.

I'm truly sorry for your loss, that's heartbreaking, and I'm sure your cousin was an excellent person.

Latvia still had the Lat when I was there, makes sense they'd be the new target now that they're folded in more.

Since someone asked to share experiences thought I would post Thank you cspam goons for sharing your stories. I am overwhelmed by the response and I feel closer to all of you. I truly think those few pages and these posts are some of the best in the thread. It is so much better itt and in the world when we post about our lives and our experiences because we know we are not alone.

Just a reminder that half or more of the deaths in many states are in assisted living facilities, and every single one could have been saved. All they had to do was do what China did: Lock the facilities down, make the caregivers stay in the homes with the residents - shouldn't be loving hard these are basically hotels, or at least commandeer a nearby hotel so they can be kept isolated. Pay them overtime, hazard pay, or put a gun to their face, whatever, just make sure the virus doesn't get in. No new medical technology or 3d printing or blockchain wonderdrugs needed. Most of them are probably immigrants and minority women making barely minimum wage anyway, how much of that $4T do you need to just pay them $20/hr instead of $8? . A couple of places in France and in CT did this and had zero covid deaths in their facilities. But America's face culture means you can't do anything that will make you look weak, so at least 50,000 people gotta die.

Motherfucker I care for people that are old and vulnerable It's also weird that for some reason "over 65" as the danger zone translates to "welp they were on the way out anyway" to a lot of people?? If some 70 year old dies, that's someone who could have had another comfortable, fun two decades with their families. Everyone knows someone these days who's like 88 and still sassy and active. Suddenly these 65 year olds in the likely fatality models are like assumed to be people who were already drifting away and then corona finished the job? Doesn't make sense.
