One of my coworkers died of COVID19 complications yesterday, age 33. We have another EMT on a ventilator, he’s 25 years old.

Now that I’ve got the vodka in me all I wanna do is make noise so here we are. I’ve been off for a few days but going back to work tomorrow night and EVERYTHING IS FINE :tif:

My special request post mortem is for people to blow some poo poo up and build a guillotine tia.

My understanding is that the dumb reason is that if they have to keep flying certain routes or the airports might give those slots to other airlines

The FAA stopped that rule a while ago when things started going downhill

Also united airlines is losing 100M a week and the 400 million the government is offering won’t really do jack and poo poo for them in the long run.

pulling people over and engaging in close physical contact to hand them a $2000 ticket in the middle of an economic collapse also doesn't seem very smart

so then don’t enforce it at all and let people do what they want. That clearly seems to be working.

my girlfriend had a part time job at a headshop, that she’s always insisted she could live without. she also teaches. I live with my parents who are 63 and 67.

they offered her shifts starting this week. the store is by “appointment only” and one customer at a time. i think I basically can’t see her if she’s working directly with the public because of what that could mean for my parents

she thinks I’m being unreasonable. am I?

You are not being unreasonable.

She has public contact and its not unreasonable for you to tell her that. If she lives by her self she should just keep it that way till this passes.

putting people in hotels isn’t as easy as people think it is.

I’m sure it’s going to happen eventually but it’s not a snap your fingers thing and it’s done.

Are restaurants still stocked up well? I was thinking of ordering a hundred trump bucks worth of chicken wings tomorrow from a local wings place and just freezing them and work through them in the next couple of months, but don't know if that is an rear end in a top hat move or not.

why would it be an rear end in a top hat move?

I dunno, I'm in Los Angeles and people are wearing masks, my whole family (even people who lean conservative) are taking it pretty seriously, theres barely any activity on the roads (the pollution is literally gone) - i mean yeah testing is low, but that doesnt necessarily mean its smoke and mirrors, people arent going to rush out and get tested if they dont feel symptoms. I literally had the coronavirus, went to the ER, they tested me, came back positive and im 35.

Is it perfect? Of course not, the county has 10 million people and a LOT of ground to cover, but I'm pretty proud of how LA has been handling it so far.

I am also In LA by the beach and LOL at the number of people out today.
