i had this conversation with my two co-workers last week as well

"oh yeah, i guess so," and nodding, when I say there's never been a lockdown or quarantine, you could do whatever you wanted at all times and no one was gonna stop you

i said this to someone and they said their parents' business outside philly was forced to close for 4 weeks in March 2020. I had honestly forgotten about that.

all i can say is "bro, i haven't been inside a grocery store since Feb 2020." i was forced back into work on 6/1 but i continue to take zero unnecessary risks.

the weirdest thing to me is whoever i've said this to always assume we just stay inside our house. i'm like: hiking, picnics, curbside restaurant meals, geocaching, daytrips offseason to an unpopular beach, virtual classes on how to make mochi or gin cocktails or whatever, monthly virtual calls with friends we hadn't regularly talked to in years, cmon jack

Someone who went to my high school has a kid on a ventilator in Memphis. Their big long facebook post about it says they now think covid is real, but came about by "shady circumstances"and is being exploited by powerful people to control us. They go on to say "dont just blindly trust a facebook post or someone in line at kroger, do your own research and ask YOUR trusted doctor to make your own decisions!"

Yeah that's pretty much how we got where we are now, people doing their own research and making their own choices.

we have all been floating on this raft cast away at sea for nearly two years now. everyone is going to crack at some point lol

realistically i think there is an actually significant portion of the vaccinated population that has looked at the risks in front of them and decided that they're worth it for brunch and normal living.

it would be less frustrating and crack pinging if it wasn't often followed up with "and now our 3 year old is very sick!!"

i only use frozen brocolli for roasting or cream of broccoli soup

supply chain disruptions from delta are going to be common since labor is already tight and an outbreak in packaging production, food processing, distribution, wholesale and retail fucks up everyone else in the chain

Spread frozen broccoli out on a cookie sheet. Season and spray with cooking spray. Roast at 400f for 25-30 min, stirring half way through if you're fancy. Can do it for 20 min if you have a convection oven. It actually manages to crisp up the florets a bit, even from frozen.

Guys.
Holy hell. We have two positive COVID babies. Vertical transmission. Two more are PUIs from exposure to their positive mums. One of them is a 25 weeker. His lungs - I have NEVER seen anything like it. The closest thing would be like a 6 month old severe chronic lung disease/bronchpulmonary dysplasia kid who has been vented for months. It is INSANE how sick he is.

If anything powerful people would prefer you consume consume consume as much as possible without the hindrance of a pandemic.

I did check my Google maps timeline and in November and December it was just one park at week at most for me (my wife was taking the kid to playdates I wasn't comfortable with) and then seeing family at the holidays and back to doing nothing. It wasn't until we got solid snowfall I did much outside

Teacher meetings haven't started yet in MN (and most kids don't go back until after labor day), but in the district I work in I've already gotten 3 emails in the past week and a half saying that the admin building has had 3 known covid cases.

The admin building where they all have their own offices and are spread way out, and have a mask requirement in place.

Lol it's gonna be bad. Just make the call for online-only learning already, cowards!

lmao at COVID being completely defeated by county borders on a map

82 counties in Nebraska have fully eradicated COVID with no new cases in the last 60 days

That might not be that wrong. I used to live in Nebraska and a lot of those counties have like three people in them.

(And 800 windmills.)

Driving west out of Lincoln is spooky as gently caress. You'd get to some points where you could hit "scan" on your radio and it'd just go all the way around without picking up anything.

Lots of places "closed" all the city parks, I remember caution tape wrapped around a water bubbler and a piece of paper zip-tied to the volley ball net saying volly ball was closed.

The greatest feeling you can get reading cspam, or the most satisfying feeling you can get reading cspam is the crack. Let's say you read the covid thread, your mind is collapsing and that's what we call the crack. Your brain gets a really tight feeling like it's going to explode any minute, and it's like someone is blowing air into your skull and it just blows up and feels different, it feels fantastic. It's as satisfying to me as pinging is, you know, as in hitting a home run right off the sweet spot. So can you believe how much I'm in heaven? I am like getting the feeling of pinging when reading cspam, I'm getting the feeling of pinging scrolling twitter. I'm getting the feeling of pinging outdoors; when I crack, when I congregate with 5000 people I get the same feeling. So I am pinging day and night. It's terrific, right? So, you know, I'm in heaven.
