his statement is amazing

I'm not concerned about covid; all of my covid symptoms are part of my laundry list of chronic health problems already! not even concerned about going to the hospital! my failing flesh routinely needs emergency medical treatment

These dumb hogs have no idea what it's like to be healthy and want to take us all down with them. Good riddance, I hope his obvious underlying conditions gently caress his heart into a lump of zombie flesh.

Failed state! Lol. Everything in America is rickety jury rigged poo poo built on grift.

Anyway. I just found out that my kid's school has outdoor lunch tables if kids would feel more comfortable there, which is great. He's already asked me to drive him, at least at the beginning. That was the last piece of the puzzle, at least until next month when band starts.

I feel kinda gobsmacked that the problem was already solved, mash'allah, thank you Jesus, Buddha's name be praised. E: special thanks to the master of the universe for presenting me with a timely eject button from the poo poo show that is Texas.

they say most diseases mutate to be less deadly but uh covid does not seem to be doing that

That's cope, sorry. The black death went through several horrifying mutations during its last rampage through Europe, which lasted over 300 years. The asymptomatic spread is why we are hosed, those numbers out of China are horrifying. There's literally no pressure on it to become less deadly to evade detection because it already evades detection and spreads silently two days before the onset of symptoms, which are the usual signal to humans that something is wrong. It's already moved on before you know you're hit.

People like to fantasize about what the collapse of the US will look like and imagine it being some huge, cataclysmic event.

But it won’t be. It’ll be a flood of small, unforeseen, isolated failures like this. They’ll force population shift that will put strain on the system and create even more small, unforeseen, isolated collapses.

The places that survive will be the ones with enough existing institutional stability to weather and stabilize it. But as the displaced move and crowd into cities, the same impulses that led them to destroy their old homes will infect their new ones.

Florida is not a place; it is a mindset. And it will move north.

I hate that I know you're right.

The part about her being a great cook is the capstone on top of everything, because it's not like Americans are braving the pandemic to crank out more T-34s for the front, the country is literally being torn apart and hundreds of thousands are dying because *checks thread notes* Americans need to go somewhere to eat terrible American food and get even fatter.

Before the pandemic I tried my best to expose her to all aspects of American cuisine. We went to multiple IHOPs and Golden Corrals in different states. We had sweet potato casserole, pop tarts, "General Tso's Chicken", and she's just not into it at all.

Why would you do that to someone you love? You are an idiot who lucked into a good partner. Don't ever think you are the catch in this relationship.

gently caress it triple post it's great that the FDA is looking to approve on Monday. Unfortunately for me, the local health conglomerate closed our doctor's office in June, so we have no PCP until the end of September when our doc starts a new position an extra 20 minutes away. And I'm insanely privileged how the gently caress can you fight against a passive genocide of attrition like this?

We don't have a coherent society, everyone still sane is just scrambling to survive.

It's hilarious and terrifying to realize most of the poo poo that comes out of the gov't is just rear end covering for the last poo poo.

Also I think we are watching an inter-agency power struggle between the CDC and the FDA/administration right now and it would be funny if it weren't for the cascade failure starting to happen. In that context, it is hysterical.

What was the name of those specific kinds of scarves posted earlier for wrapping around respirators? If I recall they were a somewhat thinner fabric and longer length.

https://hirbawiusa.com/ - keffiyehs from the last keffiyeh factory in Palestine. I'm a textiles nerd and love these. Actually just bought another one. I'm collecting them, I guess. Huge, light cotton, warm or cool depending how you wrap it. Super useful, they're basically like a hitchhiker's towel in that regard.

When I was a kid there was this candy called bubble paste - bubblegum in a toothpaste tube, and it came in apple. I loved that poo poo. Anyway I can't stop thinking about the forbidden apple paste, it's becoming a problem.
