Less traffic
Temporary increased supply/decreased price of yeezys
Shorter porta potty lines at music festivals
No more music festivals

About half an hour outside of Augusta, GA. A kindgoon was nice enough to link me a food help thingy but they don't deliver this far out. I'm an asthmatic with MS and a bunch of other health problems but I'm also only 33. But I'm also round like a pumpkin. Will I die on my upcoming food trip sometime later this week? who knows! I have amazing folks willing to ship me stuff but I need stuff that can't be shipped (like hay). I also have n95 masks and gloves, so maybe not!

This shouldn't be a concern in a 1st world country, though :lol:

I have a farm cat that turned up out of nowhere and murders everything small and squeaky. I also have a couple of cats of my own that are pets. I lassoed the batshit crazy farm cat and threw her in with my boys (who are neutered) to protect her quite some time ago. She's been out for my blood ever since.

what’s going on that all the news is suddenly positive and all the predictions for death count are dropping? is social distancing actually having that strong of an effect?

We have 30k+ new cases in the US and the number of cases are still growing- not just in number but rate of infection per the cases that are coming through per day (ie: this time last week we had less than 20k per day iirc). Almost 2000 died yesterday.

They're trying to not lose their grip on the economy.

It's going to be bad when they do.

the imperialists are very sad that the wrong countries are sending aid to others during this pandemic

the only way you could possibly spin this positively is if you were saying you were sad that the US has fallen on times so rough that -they're- receiving aid instead of sending it.

and even then it's still a really, really poo poo way to say things and "positively" is only in the same way that Karen goes to Africa to "help" little kids learn to build lego sets or whatever the gently caress that tourist poor stuff is. so not really positive at all.

I have a delivery from Whole Foods coming this afternoon and didn't leave a tip when ordering, so I am going to leave some cash in an envelope. I am also fairly well supplied with KN95 masks, and won't use too many of them while I work from home, do you think the WF delivery person would appreciate a clean mask with the tip as well?

If you can in the future, definitely tip via their system. It's a lot easier on those folks than cash, especially when they may not have gloves available.

If you have a "new in the box" one or one wrapped in plastic, probably. Otherwise you'll just terrify the poor guy.

I just heard a snippet on the radio about a single study from the Mayo Clinic suggesting people with type A blood might be more susceptible to the virus. So obviously that's now a true and proven fact, but has anyone else seen that/could link to it? I'm trying to find it but having trouble

It's been suggested for a couple months now but it's only been lightly talked about. It's part of why I started vibrating so hard about this whole thing. My spouse is in WA. He's type A.

I don't even know how to joke about it.

He was talking about how hospitalizations have dropped and they've plateaued in cases while simultaneously talking about how they aren't doing enough testing.

I have friends that look like they are about to die but they can't even get tested, much less get admitted to a hospital. Every doctor turns them away "unless it's an emergency, even if you manage to test positive." No poo poo cases aren't rising exponentially and hospitalizations are dropping.

Deaths are already being massively undercounted since they are only counting hospitalization deaths that test positive for covid-19 while turning everyone away from the hospitals and refusing to test the vast majority of people.

Reopening elective procedures, gyms and movie theaters next Monday and cancelling the shelter in place next Thursday is going to make for an interesting mid-may. The Perimeter will be a blockade of overturned cars as raiders rob anyone trying to pass through.

I'm completely terrified because I live near Augusta, GA and I don't want to live here. I don't want to die here. I don't have any other choice because the husband was at Fort Gordon. I have MS, I'm an asthmatic with lung damage, and Kemp's a loving lunatic and SC is no better. I didn't die in Texas. I refuse to die in this shithole, too. But holy gently caress.

Just holy gently caress. Testing is way, way down. They are manipulating testing (you can see it anywhere you look on any graph) by simply not Doing testing. We have over 18,000 cases. Richmond County, the county just above mine, has 200+ people and 10 dead. That's mimicking the 5% (ish) mortality rate we're seeing in a lot of other places. When this explodes because of this absolute moron, just, oh my god.
