You just need to wear something that covers your mouth and nose. Sure a proper mask is best but I don’t have one and they’ve banned the sale of them here to make sure that health care workers have enough. Many have opted to make their own if they don’t have them. Or they do what I did and rip off some cloth.
There’s no question that any kind of baffle almost certainly helps you and reduces the viral load when someone coughs near you and you’re getting the money shot of coronavirus all up in your face. Or when you’re spewing out your nasty-ass germs to the world around you.
anyone else just have a lot of existential? dread over this thing, like i’m working from home, my job should be fine for the coming months, i think most of my relatives should be good but goddamn its just depressing and its a real sense of impending doom, i guess its just a lot on top of the last few years with trump but damn man
I think you have to be pathological to not have the reality of this bring you to tears at some point if you really let yourself think about what is happening or will happen within the next few days.
I saw they just released a list of essential businesses. It is huge. I might sneak out and play a round by myself with a pull cart one day somewhere if I get stir crazy.
What’s bad is things will be better by Easter, but not enough to permanently reopen everything. Hardly noone will get that though and they will freak when we have subsequent shelter in place orders.
Trump’s shit isn’t going to work. If you are on Twitter, follow Dr. Dena Grayson. She’s an expert on viruses. She’s been screaming to close the US for weeks. She basically says Trump’s inaction is gonna cost so many lives there’s no way to hide the numbers when they start ramping up.
We aren’t Russia and it’s stupid to compare us to Russia. Do you really think people like Cuomo are gonna fudge stats to help Trump? C’mon man that’s dumb thinking.
was about to say the same thing, i don’t see anything indicating that it will be better by easter, if anything it will be starting to peak then and it will look really bad. The whole month of april is going to be terrible i think.
I think things will be worse in the red states that are actively suppressing testing right now. Literally all they have to do is not be craven assholes now, and they would probably get what they want in a few weeks. But nope, just like Trump, too stupid to even pull that off.
I think no matter how relatively calm one’s personal environment is right now there is still a massive amount of uncertainty out there that can reach out and impact any of us at any time.
States are going to open up on their own timetables anyway. Easter doesn’t mean shit. Trump’s not the one who shut anything down, he can’t order them reopened.
