"Sure, we might save 100 people from dying of covid now, but what if the economic cost of saving those people means that, years down the line, 200 people die from poverty and mental health issues?"

An indigenous man has had his license suspended after five police were found dead by the side of the road last September. This is the second time that the man's vehicle has been involved with the accidental deaths of multiple police officers. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claims that both times he was listening to "gently caress The Police" on the radio to the point of distraction and didn't realise his car was swerving over multiple lanes of traffic to impact upon the deceased. The judge has suspended his license for two weeks and advised more caution in future. Seems a bit far fetched when you flip it, hey

Australia has huge problems and these problems are a big part of why the lockdowns are affecting so many people so horribly and people like celestial scribe are unironically the primary cause of those problems, which is why it's so hilarious and frustrating to see a conditioned solipsist/narcissist crybaby like him complain about having to temporarily suffer a tiny fraction of all the horrible injustices that he and people like him have created You're a miserable sack of poo poo CS and you embody everything that the society the rest of us are trying to build is trying to make extinct  you're the social equivalent of sustained, cyclical, intergenerational abuse and gaslighting, and the sooner you and your ilk fade from this earth, the better! Hooray! Only the real question is whether we really can be rid of you and your disgusting selfish egocentric spoiled child ideology, or whether that's just a fundamental part of the human experience, like some sort of lovely tower of Babel that's designed to keep humans in the dirtEither way, at the 6 week mark I still got no sense of smell and my sense of taste is still at like 30%, although my heart is doing much better. Good morning goons

I try to get around it with lots of spicy stuff, hot sauces, nice curries etc. It's never quite the same but..it's something at least. Ah jeez that's so much worse, haha. I'm sorry. For me so far it's been ok, I'm 31 and relatively healthy so while the risk of death was low, it's still hard to complain about it. A couple weeks ago I realised I could vaguely smell fresh basil if I smash my face in it, but rosemary still nothing, for some reason? So I'm curious to see where it stabilises after like 6 months. I was thinking I'd just swap to real healthy, cheap food with an interesting texture. And I'm going to start growing magic mushrooms again so I can finally chow down on those horrible little things without triggering my gag reflex.. unless it's just become an expectatory psychosomatic response, in which case, gently caress

Germany is also a victim of its own accidental success. Had a low infection and death rate without really knowing why, health system was doing ok (because they paid to maintain unused capacity while the dutch approach was "look at all these unused beds in non-peak times, let's cut that down to minimise inefficiency" -- and then died in the arse when they hit a bump), and decided to manage covid with as soft a hand as possible during summer in order to maintain happiness and the economy.. and now autumn is here, the latent covid infections are exploding and there is absolutely no familiarity with stricter regulations, so numbers are spiking hard and there is similarly no broader receptivity towards potential stricter measures. So they lucked out with a nice privileged situation, then tried to have their cake and eat it too.. and now everybody is about to get turbo hosed, and all those temporary self-defeating cost reductions are about to quadruple down for a miserable, very expensive winter

Laserface posted:Sulla flex, grind your mushrooms in a blender and put them into gel caps. That's how I buy them, easy to dose 1g = 1 cap. Like 10 years ago when I was growing them I was doing this too but I was broke so the capping thing I got was cheap and I would always get some of the fine powder on the outside of the caps, which just hits your tastebuds immediately and in such a worse, worse way. Plus I thought 00 capsules were like 0.5-0.65g? So for like 3.5g (to 4.55g?) I remember I'd take like 7 capsules.. what size capsules are we talking here that you can get 1g in them? It's definitely not such a big deal, one way or another those suckers are going down, but the developed gag reflex was brutal and so I was thinking it'd be a nice little silver lining to this whole not being able to really smell or taste thing

when i was an early teenager i had a mate from school with whom i would sometimes smoke weed. his parents had a nice big house in cremorne, sydney. we got into an argument once because despite smoking weed and wanting to continue smoking it, he said weed should stay illegal, because "there are a lot of morons out there who shouldnt be trusted with drugs, and we should stop them from doing it. and besides, i can still get weed even if its illegal, so it doesnt make a difference for me" privilege. not even once

To my mind it'd seem like general mask use would be a good counter to an airborne virus with a short incubation period and high rates of asymptomatic spread. Numbers are very low in Australia, sure, but why is it acceptable to go full fash on individuals who catch it, and just give a free pass to everyone else? Masks are like close to zero effort so I still don't get why it's apparently such a big deal to put one on

freebooter posted:Wtf are you talking about? "Full fash" means gassing people to death, not requiring them to stay in their home for two weeks. im saying full fash because australians loving love fascism and would happily throw children into concentration camps if it meant they could.. actually im not sure what the quid pro quo was there. i think australians just love cops and hate solidarity and sure, if there literally exists no covid in a community, its impossible to get covid. but when you have a single outbreak pushing an entire state from 0 to 100 (since covid also tends to go from 0 to 100 quite quickly), from just contact tracing and shoddy quarantines (as far as i can tell) to lockdown, you start to wonder if there really are no measures in between -- like wearing masks inside shops or packed/enclosed spaces. you've already blocked the borders and the economy is already in tatters, why are masks suddenly anathema? in my opinion it just sounds like more bullshit privilege and exceptionalism. "i dont see why that affects me, what benefit do i get out of it, thats a problem other people/places have, let them sort it out, i dont want to be inconvenienced at all" yet we see australians roll over and allow BROADLY overreaching state meddling in personal rights and privacy and control of public spaces. but for a 1 in 100 year global epidemic that has seen an often non-watertight response in terms of managing infected? i dont get the why theres outrage over this, even in places with a lot more covid, the vast majority of people youll see are not infected, masks are a good, low-cost, broadly applicable preventative mechanism that can save lives and dramatically reduce the chance of a catastrophic outbreak.. i really dont get the revulsion towards the idea, it just feels like more water from the antivaxxer well

We might be talking past each other here - I'm not talking about making people wear masks inside or even on the street. In that article, it mentions: " we can transition to a situation where we only wear masks in relatively high-risk situations. That is, those situations where we potentially come into contact with a lot of people indoors, such as grocery shopping and public transport.” Later in the article you have experts saying that masks are not a set-it-and-forget-it panacea, but that they'd still recommend wearing masks in areas of high risk, which is what most places have implemented wherever covid keeps showing up. Here in Berlin, for example, we have a stricter lockdown now, but since like March it's been mandatory to wear masks inside things like supermarkets, shops, and public transport. No requirements to wear it on the street, although after an initial reticence due to it not having any cultural precedent, you do see a lot of people wearing masks on the street now. Access to supermarkets and public transport seems a pretty inalienable right to me, and we (as a society- Australia and Germany included) already implement numerous far reaching mechanisms for ensuring public safety in certain high risk contexts, which might reduce comfort or privilege but are nonetheless accepted. I'm thinking, as off the cuff examples, of things like seatbelts, street signs and crosswalks, maximum occupancies and general fire and safety regulations, and so forth. The question seems to be, is the situation dangerous enough where broader mask requirements are warranted? And to my mind, given how quickly and gravely the situation can escalate, and given that you're seeing cities and states go straight into lockdowns whenever even just a few cases pop up, it kind of seems like masks are a no brainer. At least while the risk is so high, the cost seems absolutely negligible -- but again, this is a risk that seems to affect mostly "other people", so it's much harder for some people to justify any level of personal discomfort. Which I obviously disagree with Additionally, current poor/inconsistent coordination, implementation, and communication, doesn't mean that masks are inherently bad. It just means that your implementation sucks, which is a you thing, not a mask thing
