i still remember back when covid was kicking off there were all those breathless takes about how this was the end of china, empty ports as they shut down, 4chan made corona-chan and spun wild conspiracy theories about millions of untallied dead burned in mass cremations based off phone subscriptions

lmao

they locked their poo poo down for like a month and were fine and now we're the ones suffering

Reminder that we could lock our poo poo down for a month and be fine, too. At any point.

in theory, yes. but in practice, no. the political will to do that does not exist, and if anyone tried it i think it would blow up in their face in the most hilarious way possible. can you imagine, looking at florida now, what the compliance rate would be with an order to lock down?

also my mom got tested for covid (negative thankfully) and it cost her $70. they told her to come back in a few days if her symptoms persist because she might have too low a viral load and that will be another cool $70

had to go to the grocery store today after work to grab some stuff. there were only 2 cashiers and the lines were backed up. i was behind a nice old lady and i noticed two women behind me who were just holding one item. i know the polite thing to do is let folks go ahead of you if they just have one thing, but i guess they thought that because my headphones were in i couldn't hear them when they called me a "liberal" and laughed at my mask

kept my cart where it was and instead helped the old lady (who was wearing a mask) by picking up her heavy items so the cashier could scan them. the two women (chuds who i kinda know, its a small town) loving stared daggers at me

College is the worst possible scenario, 10x worse than public schools IMO. Entire halls of residents living together. And ofc college students are going to party and go to bars, etc.

I don't think they make it 2 weeks but there's me being wrong again.
