I've gone over all this stuff carefully with her, she's the kind of dumbfuck that believes insane poo poo off facebook like "DID YOU KNOW KFC GENETICALLY ENGINEERED A TYPE OF CHICKEN THAT HAS SIX LEGS SO THEY CAN SELL MORE CHICKEN LEGS"

not even joking

she blew her life savings on $1000+ a month vitamin bullshit while unemployed and also trying to pay a ~$2000 monthly house mortgage (she eventually sold the house at a massive loss) and complains about her compromised immune system regularly but these ideas about ~HERD IMMUNITY~ are extremely cool

haha holy gently caress. we took the kids creek stomping at a nearby park, and when we got back to the car, the green space in the area was filled with 3 little league baseball teams all starting practice, with absolutely zero attempt at distancing

running in tightly packed groups together, huddled around a coach screaming at them, parents all in chairs shoulder to shoulder

in a park 20 minutes out of town that doesn't even have diamonds.

I wonder how many absolute fuckers of coaches are pressuring elementary/middle school teams to practice now in anticipation of having a season this summer

I didn't think it was possible to be sadder about COVID-19 but this in the context of all those ICU does it

I'm so thankful I don't come from a CHUD family. The strangest thing going on right now in my family is that my sister has been saying she'll get around to making masks since February

Illinois and North Carolina also scored 1000+ case counts today. NC reached a record high for the second day in a row.

This many states with +1000 case counts was something you almost never saw even in the worst of March because New York was seeing 10,000 cases a day on its own

yeah I'm getting suspicious of CA because their death numbers follow the same proportions as FL, GA, TX, TN. Huge historically abnormal numbers of pneumonia deaths but no no, definitely not COVID, everything's ok.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/flu_pneumonia_mortality/flu_pneumonia.htm
in 2018, CA had about 7k pneumonia deaths

CA is already at least 9,000 pneumonia deaths, 5 months into the year, only 2k of which associated with COVID :hmmyes:

The answer is basically no. Not only does it not help with coronavirus it will probably sicken a lot of people all on its own.
https://www.propublica.org/article/tear-gas-is-way-more-dangerous-than-police-let-on-especially-during-the-coronavirus-pandemic

quote:

Scientists know little about how CS affects the general public. The most comprehensive studies were conducted by the U.S. military on thousands of recruits who were exposed to tear gas during training exercises. Afterward, it left them at higher risk for contracting influenza, pneumonia, bronchitis and other respiratory illnesses.

The soldiers were generally healthier than the average person, with fewer underlying conditions like asthma or heart disease. Studies of civilians in Turkey found that people who are repeatedly exposed to tear gas are more likely to have chronic bronchitis or chest pains and coughing that can last for weeks. It may also be linked to miscarriages.

The effects worsen as people are repeatedly exposed to higher doses, Jordt said, but it’s hard to measure the concentrations of tear gas during chaotic protests, and many who are affected will be reluctant or afraid to seek medical help.

Parikh, the Langone Health doctor, is particularly worried about children at the protests. Their lungs and immune system are still developing, and tear gas could lead to neurological problems or permanent skin or eye damage if it’s not washed off quickly.

I, being part of the problem, did a quick trip from Denver to KC to visit a friend before this poo poo really kicks off again. I drove out Wednesday. Most people were wearing masks, including gas station workers. I drove back today. I'm the only motherfucker that had a mask at all my stops. I don't know what changed in 2 days, but this poo poo is gonna get so wild.
