This seems like a certainty at this point. My wife and I are looking at moving to New Zealand or at least Europe, if Americans are allowed in next year. I doubt we are the only ones giving serious consideration to fleeing the USA, so there'll probably be a ban on American refugees in a lot of the safest countries. Seems like if there's no vaccine and nobody interested in containment, getting out of the USA the only way to get to what Wikipedia says my human lifespan is supposed to be.

That seems to be the safest place to be in the USA because they quarantine anyone coming in and are isolated. But I guess they even are having problems now. IDK how. Things are just insane.

I feel like Hawaii is gonna end up economically crippled because it relies on tourism so much and it's ultimately got a minority of chuds no doubt loving things up for everyone. New Zealand does too, but I get the feeling it's a more robust country and the federal govt there would stave off an economic collapse. Maybe Hawaii goons can clarify how things look over there...

Someone I know mentioned he was sick. I asked if he was ok and he said "oh it's just pink eye or something... an eye thing. it's better now than it was this morning", so I linked him to an article saying pink eye is a sign of coronavirus. He says he's fine today but I'm very suspicious! (I haven't seen this guy since March)

I'd love to emigrate, but I'm a college dropout with no particular skill set and not willing to get married to a local, so my chances are pretty small. If anyone wants to pack me in a suitcase when they go though, hmu.

ah ok, i incorrectly assumed you worked for Careflight. i'm honestly not sure what to suggest then. realistically there are no hard rules about how you need to protect your employees right now, it feels like it is completely up to your employer to determine how lovely they want to be.

So I just found out today that I basically am going to have to go on disability, and I feel kinda lovely about it but I guess I'm going to dodge the COVID19 bullet since there have been 3 or 4 people at my workplace who've tested positive.

Get a single bowl kitchen sink it has been the greatest quality of life improvement in my life ever dual bowl sinks are stupid nobody I know really uses their sink in a way that benefits from having two small bowls instead of one huge one. And it didn’t require any trimming of the counter it just dropped right in.

Question: Am I the only one extremely annoyed about the 2m/6ft rule being touted as actually useful when it comes to indoor activities with prolonged duration such as school classes or weddings, work etc? Spending 3+ hours in a closed space with other people and no masks seems like a surefire way to get infected if one person has it. Yet everybody and their grandma says it's fine because they are 6ft apart... Why would you actually believe that? I distinctly remember the stale air in classrooms after only one hour.

Hopper posted:Question: Am I the only one extremely annoyed about the 2m/6ft rule being touted as actually useful when it comes to indoor activities with prolonged duration such as school classes or weddings, work etc? Yes. At my work - which I haven't been to in four months, been WFH thankfully - they require masks in all public areas. Except at your loving desk. In an 800 seat call center (I don't work in the call center part but my office is accessed by walking through the call floor). They say its fine because they are keeping a 6 foot minimum between people right now. That's 100% hot loving garbage, there's only one HVAC system, there are no cubicles, everyone is sitting there without their masks on talking loudly into their headsets and spraying their spit all over the room. Words cannot express how loving angry this makes me.

Easier in the sense that unlike anywhere else you can sign up for a literal green card lottery to live in the US, but any of the more standard paths to immigration are practically impossible.
