Czech government wants to reduce the quarantine from 14 days to 10 days.
And schools open in two weeks.
Mankind’s greed is stronger than its will to survive.

This is America, you can’t make me take a saliva test, these things are rigged to say everybody has it and force the economy to close because you hate President Trump and freedom.

Lucky for me I’ve already given up on PSU football for being scumbags so I don’t have to pretend to care about college football!

Can’t imagine it matters how much these schools want to play football, they’re going to end up overwhelmed by positive tests anyway. It doesn’t help that players are going to be trying their hardest to play when sick anyway, since the goal is to get to the nfl.
What I’ve been saying all along. Scream it from the fucking rooftops
We were going stir crazy yesterday so we decided to day trip to my old college town of Stillwater. Drove around campus and noticed all the college kids wearing masks OUTSIDE walking around. Was feeling encouraged. Woke up this morning and saw this. WAAF

ETA: If you have Snapchat, do not go to map tab and look at the bar / dining district in your major city. I feel gaslit AF looking at mine. People everywhere dining, drinking, singing, etc. I’m very close to going full CrossFit covid denier bro. I’m going to rejoin my gym, eat at Olive Garden, and go do Karaoke at the dive bar with 50 of my closest friends.

Did you ever decide to come to Vermont?
Go green
AZ this morning reporting 883 new cases on 16503 new tests (5.35%).
Meanwhile at least 40 brave teachers have resigned in suburban Queen Creek rather than start in-person school tomorrow.
Meanwhile Gov. Ducey announced the state will not be contributing the extra $100 for unemployment benefits, so unemployed Arizonans (who would normally get near-lowest-in-the-country $240/wk) will be getting $540 instead of the $840 they were getting last month. I hope they know who to blame for this.

Are the $300 extra payments actually going out?
Only approved yesterday so probably not quite yet. Also retroactive to July 26 which is good. Payments to come through FEMA and I would assume Trump/Ducey will do whatever they can to get this money into people’s hands. And by that I mean they are driven completely by politics rather than virtue.
From this article it sounds like they issued some bullshit memorandum to go with the bullshit EO that even though by law the states have to contribute $100 to get the $300, “fuck you make me” is in effect and they can just get the $300 without contributing anything. Arizonans will get $300 a week unemployment supplement
" Trump’s plan asked states to pay jobless people another $100 a week from money the states were provided to address the pandemic. But other states, including Ohio, balked at that and said their existing unemployment payments should count toward that contribution.
The U.S. Labor Department agreed with that assessment, issuing a memorandum this week explaining that states could decide whether to contribute an additional $100 a week to the unemployed from their coronavirus relief funds."

Maybe this belongs in the mental health thread…
My parents went to a wedding last night and my mom posted this picture today. I don’t understand why I’m staying home going on 6 months now when my parents are taking zero precautions. Trying to reason with boomer parents (even an educator who has been hard Dem their whole life…) is an exercise in futility. I’m sure this is what it was like trying to parent me as a teenager. But what the fuck am I even doing? I sit at home every day, go to the grocery and go golfing. That’s it. I’ve seen my parents twice in 6 months. My partner has seen her parents once. Why am I putting myself through this if they’re going to weddings and restaurants and the lake? I’m 33 years old and was relatively healthy before this started. I want to go back to the gym and stay healthy. I want to visit my friends who have kids and jobs and are forced to take fewer precautions. People that I play PLO with are playing 9 handed PLO in a private game. What the fuck is the point of all this?

Alright I got a woman on my facebook claiming everyone in LA is wearing masks but cases are skyrocketing so either masks don’t work or they’re lying about the numbers.
One of you help me lay the smackdown on her, specifically of why cases are skyrocketing in LA with high mask compliance.
Bars and restaurants are open. People don’t wear masks when eating and imbibing.
Last I heard they were closed in LA, is not that longer the case?
I’ve some to some point of (not sure what the word is for caring - but with a boundary) with my mom. I’ve given her all the info. and tried to scare her as best I can. And now it’s on her, like a teenager, to make good decisions. I’m not going to spend all of my time freaking out every time I hear about a family gathering.
But like teenagers, they don’t think about how much it could devastate us if something happened to them, and especially if something happened to them because of visiting us.
My primary concern at this point is to not do something like go to my cousin’s wedding, which I am hoping my mom won’t either. As if I go - of course she’s going. I could never live with causing my mom to do something risky.
She’s going to Denver in a week. I made sure that she was going 100% before I decided to go. And I’m still going to surprise her by showing up about halfway into her trip. I may stay at my sister’s place (camping on the deck) longer. If my mom tries to changer her trip to stay more than two days (which she would totally do), I’ll just leave. That way nothing I am doing could possibly contribute to her getting sick.
