Everyone I know in Florida, outside of one dude in Miami, has not gotten COVID

My landlord that lives in Florida called the other day for normal landlord poo poo and said they wouldn't be traveling to stop by until covid dies down and I think "sure, they're being safe, good" and then he goes on a big unprompted rant about how they don't want to come up and have to wear a mask everywhere and Inslee is out of control and Florida is a mask and covid free paradise

How did "making people wear masks will create a compliant society of sheep for some reason" become the conspiracy when "create a compliant society by allowing the noncompliant to kill themselves off voluntarily" is right there and actually has an explainable mechanism

drat that part of Arizona with the most deaths is not very densely populated. Actually, with the exception of Maricopa (Phoenix, although you might have to zoom in to see if that map hits its borders a lot), the sparsely populated areas are doing the brunt of the dying. Possibly because there are areas on that map where a hospital is more than an hour away and don't have that much capacity to begin with.

I don't know what's going on in the western part, but everything other than the very bottom square county on the eastern part overlaps with reservations

i'm pretty sure that biden legitimately doesn't think that covid is a big deal and that the real problem is that the nation got all scared of a silly virus. his only real covid policies that he vocally called for were that kids NEEDED to be in school, that masks were bad, and that vaccines are good. he has never acknowledged the sheer quantity of death it has caused and i highly doubt he ever will

But there were little flags

I started wearing Aura 9205s and find myself sneezing into it fairly often. I wonder if I am allergic or
if it irritates my nose somehow. anyone else?

When I first started wearing them I was having some weird sinus problems because the foam on the nose seals really well and you don't have to curve it inwards to follow the sides of your nose as much as masks without the foam. It kind of compressed the sides of my nose enough to irritate it to where it would get kind of runny right after I put them on.

Really curious: how many people's workplaces have a current covid outbreak right now and how many people's workplaces don't?

Work has a website to see confirmed cases and early last month there were like half a dozen people that were mysteriously out for a week but only one case ever showed on the site.

After next week I don't fuckin care anymore though because I put in my two weeks on Monday :toot:
