people are getting used to the new number of deaths every day but at some point i assume they will be shocked again

when someone they know, not just a few people removed kind of know, but really know and see frequently, dies, a lot of people will suddenly, at long last, have their bubble burst

we'll reach saturation of everyone everywhere knowing someone who died from coronavirus after a couple million I guess

can't wait to see president pissbaby whining about how he's being treated in the media and saying that it's those dead peoples' fault for not taking the precautions he suggested, which were the best precautions, everyone congratulated him on them and told him 'wow, sir, you're so good at this, we didn't know you were good at this,' and he heard that there's a lot of people that would have died anyway and just happened to have coronavirus were being counted, and perhaps that should be looked into, because maybe it's a plot to hurt the president and that isn't right, I don't know it's just something he heard, maybe we should look into it

“Every day, for the last several weeks, I have asked our health experts whether it is time for the ultimate action of a shelter-in-place order statewide,” Reeves said. “Yesterday, for the first time, we got the answer we had been anticipating. They told me we are now at the point in Mississippi’s cycle where such drastic restrictions are required. Today is the day. We are announcing a shelter-in-place order.”

I love how he has to act like he's been just waiting, waiting, waiting for the right moment, rather than being screamed at by all sides from everywhere in the world that he needs to do this. It's far far far too late now, and tens of thousands of MS residents are going to die that didn't need to if he had done the right thing. But of course he's already begun the blame-shifting process by claiming he's been asking health experts every day about it. No you loving haven't, Tate, nobody loving believes you.

Trump took a gamble by ignoring what all the experts were screaming at him to do what happened to coincide with his own personal interests. Those interests didn't, of course, in any way factor into it, it's just a crazy wild coincidence

The math of 20% dead without treatment including young people and America completely failing at social distancing is terrifying me to the point I can't even get out of bed in the morning, no one seems to be afraid enough at all even in here

this is how I feel about it too but I don't want to freak my wife out by freaking out so I keep a lid on it externally, I think a lot of people still have not grasped that they, personally, are going to be traumatized horribly by this, at the very LEAST emotionally. there's just a gnawing pit in my stomach when I think about it too much. When I have had to go out I can't help but look around me in horror at all the people who seem utterly unconcerned. I live in south MS, so there's a lot of republicans here who are mostly annoyed that they're having to change anything for something they seem to think is mostly a problem for other people. meanwhile wal mart is like cleaned the gently caress out. but corner market and the asian markets are pretty much fully stocked like a couple blocks away.

the apocalypse is so much more confusing and banal than I expected it to be, so far

"Ok, I've got an idea. This one's a great idea. One of the best. People will say, 'sir, that was -that was a great idea. Sir I haven't seen an idea-haver like you before.' They'll say that. The idea - folks, I remember an idea I had that they didn't like, it was called, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, yea, you all remember that one, right? - the idea....we have all these sick people. They're sick - not sick like Schumer sick, or Pelosi sick.no, sick in the bodies, not sick in the MIND - so these sick people, there's a lot of them. People are saying, what are we gonna do? What are we gonna do? They're saying to me....well, we have these programs, they're usually just for some people, called Medicare....the Democrats wanted to cut it, but I said no! I said, maybe we can open that up. We can call it 'Medicare but for ALL'?'

I live two blocks from a hospital in mississippi and have begun to hear sirens more frequently than usual. Kind of assuming it's gonna become a trend in the near future

yeah i have a big backlog of Switch poo poo I want to play along with rdr2 and yakuza 0 and other stuff, but i just haven't been in the mood for games at all the last couple of months. i thought maybe i'd get a lot time in this quarantine to just pop edibles every day and kickback, but alas--not at all. it doesn't help i'm stressing about work and how unproductive i am with several reports to do that i keep putting off and telling people it's coming, because i have just been having foggy-brained malaise ADHD state the last 4 weeks, part of that was being sick, part of it is i'm just not good at wfh since i have a small apartment with my desk next to bed instead of an office, and part of it is just :effort:

mississippi finally has a shelter in place order going into effect tomorrow(lol, lmao, hahaha rofl we're all gonna die) so that means my wife's store(the bong store, she is the manager of the bong store) is finally, at long last, gonna close down. it's nice that she has one more full paycheck coming but like holy poo poo please stop interacting with the public. I have most of an ounce of weed that I am requiring her to smoke, and got her a switch lite with animal crossing a couple days ago. I am determined to make this the best staycation ever for my wife, who is extremely hardworking and deserves a vacation and if it has to be with the backdrop of civilization being destroyed or whatever then so be it

lol if you think this will peak in 2 weeks

I really think the USA is just gonna let it run its course and kill however many it drat well wants to, we could probably bet to like 10-15 million dead because we're just so loving stupid and our leaders are game show hosts and grifters, but I get it, people really haven't comprehended or accepted how bad this really is, not by a long shot. but I get it because while I KNOW it's that bad and is going to be that bad my brain just won't stop gaslighting me about it and downplaying it in my own head, like, naaah it won't really be that bad. I don't know why that impulse is there, I know it's wrong, I imagine it must be normalcy bias, and if it's there for me when I'm actively going around doomsaying then it must be quite strong in those that give into it fully
