Not calling the police. But I will essentially never call the police. Abolish the police.

Has that vaccine been green lit for US production yet? Last I heard, none of the American companies were willing to make it because Oxford is not granting anyone exclusivityā¦ thus the US market may get excluded. USA#1 forever and ever!

Yup, imagine if Oxford is the first one to the finish line, the shit show here will be epic. Deservedly soā¦
Good thing people donāt eat with their eyes. Well, except for fat folks.
Spain got hit hard. They have to go through that 12-16 more times for herd immunity.
Good to see the general 10-1 confirmed cases to infections weāve been assuming backed up from yet another study.
Spain and Italy seem to win the IFR crown - except maybe Iran which weāll never know.
Assuming beehive is metaphorical, been there done that.
Iām just kidding, I just want you guys to think Iām not a virgin.

āThatās one of the three known routes of getting this infection that we just donāt pay a lot of attention to. We tend to pay attention to the nose and mouth, because that is the most common route,ā he said. āBut you know, droplets landing on your eyes are just as infectious.ā
I have a hard time taking seriously a virologist who somehow doesnāt pay attention to the fact that the eyes are a key route of infection. Good god, Iāve been saying that same thing in this very thread and Iām just an unqualified enthusiast. Like, weāve all spent the past few months seeing doctors and nurses with bruises on their foreheads from wearing face shields all day long, they donāt put them on for fun.
āBut you know, droplets landing on your eyes are just as infectious." --yeah, no shit, ya doofy clowndick, 90% of the people in this thread could have told you as much.

I fuckin love you BJ lol
The people in this thread arenāt the target audience.
Youāre accusing him of not paying attention to the eyes, in a quote where heās paying attention to the eyes.
Strawman much?
Itās not like unstuck is that far ahead of the curve. I remember having to explain this (transmission through eye) to people who didnāt get it in one of the earlier COVID threads.
This is not intended as a defense of that virologist. I agree with your assessment on him.

He explicitly says he doesnāt pay attention to the eye route! idk what he means by āweā here, Iāve been warning about this. This is one of the key reasons washing your hands is so important.
i think what youāre trying to say is: in soviet russia, police calls you

Well, if we werenāt under stay at home orders during a pandemic, I wouldnāt even consider it. So thatās the first thing. From there, if you arenāt familiar, thereās been a chronic problem with uppity white people calling the cops on black people minding their own business in America the last few years (probably forever, but now we get cell phone videos of it). There have been chronic problems with cops shooting unarmed black kids. So thereās a non-zero chance that me calling them on black kids leads to some kid getting shot over breaking a stay at home order, which obviously I donāt want. If they were white, 0% chance that happens.
As for just handling it myself, I live about five blocks from some bad neighborhoods. Chances are these kids walked over from one of those neighborhoods, and me walking into a group of 15 to be the old man saying the city equivalent of āGet off my lawn,ā is not really a safe thing to do in general, but especially during a pandemic. One of them could just get in my face to talk some shit and I could be exposed to the virus.
So anyway, normal times Iād just let it go cause Iām not old enough to give a damn about some kids making some noise. I would have watched a bit, enjoyed the spectacle, and that would have been it. But with a pandemic going on, that changes things.
Like, Iāve been locked down for almost 10 weeks. Iām in no mood to be exposed to anyone, and Iām in no mood for people to be screwing around spreading germs around and slowing down getting this city to a safe point. Weāre currently guaranteed to be locked down in the red category (green-yellow-red) until June 4. Itās probably going to be at least July 1 before weāre green, and I donāt even think thatās very likely.
