Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Daughters school is sending all books home with them today in case they close schools after spring break.

Not officially closed yet though.

I have mixed feelings on what we should be doing as a country. I don’t know if shutting everything down is going to help.

The great part about restaurants is no customers anymore to infect you. Rolled into a bar last night and it was just the servers and some guy shooting pool.

lol I had Chinese takeout from a hole-in-the-wall place like two nights ago. Don’t see how they’re any more dangerous than Mickey D’s.

Drano-style cleaners and toilet bowl cleaners are usually just bleach with added stuff to adjust the consistency and smell. Works totally fine.

The plus is that authoritarian regimes would never, ever cover up a serious epidemic because it was politically inconvenient.

The only real downside is that it’s hard to implement effective social distancing in your sprawling network of concentration camps. But even there, the worst outcome is that the undesirables just die, so it’s not a big deal.

I don’t think his point was “should I eat at Asian places?” It was just “should I eat at any restaurant?”

I don’t understand why South Korea hasn’t gone out and pulled 10,000 random people for testing. It would be very informative.

I mean is there any doubt that’s gonna be part of the whitewashing of the final numbers?

“Only 278 CV deaths in the US in 2020, a beautiful number, but surprisingly deadly flu season kills 225K. Sad!”

Been going to a cafe I like from time to time.

Your pony died 278 times.

The gym is also a huge win/loss scenario now. 100% of squat racks free! That’s good! 100% of squat racks swimming in COVID-19! That’s bad.

He just means something with social welfare more centrally planned and quasi-authoritarian in the political-compass sense. So, South Korea instead of North.

But, if the police and/or military start forcing anti-vaxxers to get the vaccine, that’s gonna be an interesting convo.

My pony probably insured by Medicade, but this is super gross.

I mean this is a 100% lock.

Is it okay to do curls there in this situation?

And bobman knew exactly that too, unless one of the few people actually smart enough to pull off Smart Guy Centrism went dumb.

I’m still hitting the gym regularly, which may be a leak but I gotta stay fit to keep my immune system in tip-top condition.
