lol the "believe me I'm a real scientist and so is my wife" guy in the gbs thread saying everyone should be blindly trusting the CDC guidelines because they are the experts

imagine thinking CDC mask guidelines, if absolutely nothing else, are unassailable

iirc, those same guidelines still advise against N95 masks

My kids bus driver caught COVID.


=)

There is also a federal schoolbus driver shortage (can't imagine why!), which means most students will be unable to distance on the bus. I also saw almost no mask wearing on the bus last spring.

Plus what are the drivers going to do to enforce it? The bus and lunch rooms are where kids are gonna get it if their teachers are taking precautions.

Alright kids now if someone kicks in your classroom door with a Striker-12 the trick is to get them to fire all twelve rounds into your fellow classmates, you can make a fairly leisurely break for it during the half hour pause when they stop to manually unload and reload each chamber and then rewind the drum

Agree.


So this is happening now.

“What’s the end game with all this? Masks, vaccines and limiting freedoms for how long? My family has been in Washington for seven generations and this is the first time in my life that I despise this state.

“It only took 200 years to get rid of small pox. Let the virus become endemic and run its course, it’s here to stay,” the district’s chief financial officer, Jake Kuper, wrote in response to a public service post about masking from the state health department. “So happy for the strictest Covid-19 mandates in the US. I thought liberals loved freedom…and pro choice…oh wait.”

ok my wife can't smell dank weed but said it smells like gas and vic's vapo-rub.
said it's more of a "can't smell anything but when i can, it's real weird which notes pop out" kind of deal.
also managed to find a loving abbott test which is trash but something while we wait 1-3d for a PCR.
ordered it online. having a friend drop it off.

every minute clinic, weekend walk-in, CVS, Walgreens has 0 available appointments.
you have to go to the next state for a rapid test.

What strict measures? It’s full open Biden but with a mask mandate. There’s no restrictions on restaurant or event capacity, people are out living it up. Conservatives are such whiny little babies who don’t want be inconvenienced. Yet they want to force their poo poo views on everyone else and make them comply with regressive beliefs.

That dipshit is from one of the wealthier suburbs of Seattle too but the school district isn’t rated very highly. The unincorporated areas around it are just full chud and the district used to have a Republican rep.

I was at the store the other night and I saw a guy in slides with crew socks and Bart Simpson pajamas tucked into them and by the time I got to his face I noticed he had a black eye and a bandana around his mouth.

My (anti-vax, covid-denying, classic pre-Alex Jones conspiracy theorist) uncle is apparently sick and refuses to get tested because of the "ethylene oxide residue in the swabs."

He sent us what he's doing to treat himself:

"The nebulizer solution is quarter cup of distilled water, quarter cup of food grade liquid hydrogen peroxide 3%, a pinch of mineralized sea salt, three drops of food grade supplemental iodine, and three drops of liquid nano silver."

My Aunt is a nurse in Orlando Florida and she's in the hospital with Covid. She got OG Covid during the first wave and was out of commission for week but she was otherwise fine. This time they've kept her for over a week in the hospital and they have her on oxygen and they aren't planning on letting her leave soon.

Both my Aunt and Uncle are unvaccinated, passively anti-vax and lightly anti-mask. It's especially frustrating because they're the closest thing in my family to reasonable, educated adults. I genuinely didn't think I'd have to encourage them to get vaccinated.
