I also love the galaxy brains that saying wearing a mask is "Living in fear" while they themselves have a concealed carry.

One always has to be amused by "Coronavirus has a terrible impact on children's mental health and educational prospects" as a justification for "Just don't have restrictions." Now if you went around saying "Just don't have rich people" as a solution to povery or homelessness I feel they'd be less inclined to this line of logic. The idea of dealing with and mitigating those issues shouldn't be controversial, but they're too outraged by the fact they might have to.

They are fine with attacking the root of the disease (restrictions) to avoid symptoms (all the negative impacts of restrictions); but prefer to deal with the symptoms of unrestricted COVID spread (people fucking dying) to dealing with the disease (preventing people from spreading it). Which comes down to saying "I prefer people die than I am bothered by things."

Thanks for the concern folks been getting lots of sleep.  No test results yet, symptoms evolved a bit, no longer super sleepy at all times and instead have a persistent cough. Fever is down.  Most food is tasteless except water which tastes like either pure chlorine if from the tap or liquid plastic if from a bottle. Limbs always feel like I've just sprinted 2 miles.

Mom's still doing fine, I'm wearing my mask around the house and she puts on hers whenever I come out into the rest of the house.  She has a minor cough but she does normally so we're not sure if that's anything new.

I'll keep y'all posted!

Oh boy, Grieger. Hope it works out ok.

Good news! I was wrong about Sweden having changed their guidelines to allow 500 people groups. What they had done was announce that they were going to do so today, I had just listened badly. But! Good news! They didn't actually do that today, so we're still at 50 people. In fact while further give-in-ings was expected to be announced at the press meeting today today they did in fact end up not easing on the restrictions at all.

In fact the public health guy has now said thst there might be lockdowns taking place in the future... local onds

[scriver]

I hadn't heard that -- It would probably be an issue for the Riksdag though because Sweden don't have legislation to enforce that kind of thing (there's no non-wartime ability to call "emergency law")

[ChairmanPoo]

Apparently he said it in an interview with foreign media. I´ve only found this link. No idea of the full content and telegraph is shitty

Finland has corona dogs!

Can they be trained to bite #covidiots who refuse to mask up?

[Greiger]

God I hope so.

Annoying news my internet and phone have been down for 'scheduled maintenance' for a full day.  They didn't bother to notify me, when contacted through a cell phone because phone didn't work, they said it had been planned for more than a month and was normal.  I asked why they didn't notify us about it and the person on the phone apparently realizing they can't do anything and wanting to get off the phone did a bethesda 'Sorry, not planning on doing anything about it, check the website for scheduled outage times and dates.  Your service will be back by 2 AM tomorrow'.

Anyway covid test came back negative yesterday but since I had no phone they couldn't tell me.  Donno what that illness was then, not a Flu, not Covid, too high a fever to be a cold.  Who knows.

COVID-20: Electric Flugaloo...

[Greiger]

Yea just imagine us all to be glad 2020 is over only for Covid-19 to come around and say ok now that the warmup year's over Imma turn it up to 11 with a new mutation. 

This one causes you to spray highly contagious liquids from every orifice of your body (including sweat glands) at 30 meters a second every time you say the words 'freedom', 'rights', 'amendment', or 'free speech' and if you are over the age of 40 you have a small but ever present chance of just popping like a shieldbroken Jiggilypuff and sailing into the ionosphere when you blink.

E: I'm sure it will evolve to be triggered on whatever buzzwords your particular country's anti maskers like to use as well.

team boomer is blasting off again?

[hector13]

Wisconsin is almost averaging 2000 cases for the last 7 days.

They should manage it, and that might push the average proportion of tests that come back positive above 1 in 6 too!

Turning that corner real good, Donald. Reeeaal good.

But it was so politically beneficial to not implement a working action plan when it was early on, because it was only affecting democrat bloc states!!

How could you expect a sleezy person in office to pass up an opportunity like that!?  I mean-- with fewer democrats voting, his re-election is a shoe-in!! (right!? RIGHT!?)

Swing states benefit from poor virus handling as far as Trump is concerned. Day of the election, Trump supports will vote in person, Dems will vote by mail which will be thrown out.

All because the Libs are too scared of the flu SMH
