Big shocker there. Kids are super spreaders of just about any illness that is easily spread by contact or hampered by simple hygiene.

So, outside the food trucks, just a bunch of insufferable twats, for the most part?

Now the bad news.... https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-unemployment-rate-is-falling-but-more-people-are-losing-their-jobs-permanently/

That was literally a direct result of having a Republican super majority in the state. I remember that and saw that whole thing go down. That is really just the tip of the iceberg of what those robbers did to the citizens of the state. I am a moderate but I couldn't be further from the modern Republican party. As corrupt as the Democratic party is, they pale in comparison to the naked disdain the Republican party has for working people and small businesses.

That's cause everyone is huddled together inside to escape the 320 K temps.

I have worn Delta suits, bubble suits, PAPR's......it ain't that bad

We're saying the same thing. We have just normalized insanity.

In fairness we have been fuged for a long time and much longer than you've been alive. Look at it this way, you might just get to tell people you saw the end of it.

I believe that you believe math is fake. That checks out.

If you don't believe in math, sure.

Head in the sand politics at it's finest.

Here is some American exceptionalism for you, the US has roughly 4.3% of the world's population yet 25.7% of the Rona worldwide deaths and 25.8% of the worldwide Rona cases.

Well, they get to go see Jesus though. Isn't that what they all claim to want?

I have never had the flu vaccine. Just had the flu once in my life. I will probably start doing it when I get older and am at a higher risk.

I still believe that a good vaccine is going to lag significantly behind what people's expectations are. Hopefully I am wrong about that.

Mask usage in Detroit/Ann Arbor/Grand Rapids is pretty low. There are still places that require them to enter but the overall usage has dropped visibly in the past 3 weeks. As I said, people are just over it.

The temp checks are only relevant if you are running a fever and that is probably too late.

Oh, this was FOR SURE predictable. Some people were going to be replaced anyway. You can't lay people off now because of optics. But next year will be a gold mine because even if these companies aren't actually struggling they now have a perfect excuse to jettison employees by saying, "Oh the stress from the Rona dun it to us! If we hadn't had that, we'd be able to keep all of you!" Meanwhile we underwent another gigantic wealth transfer from the government to corporations and shareholders.

Anti-vaxxer. Fully out.

Ouch. Now that is disturbing. Garden variety greed and corruption. Now that I could buy.

Oh poo....I'm out. Those people are dumb.

Eh....leans conspiracy theorish but it's hard to discount anything. NC had their rest homes get WRECKED with the CoronAIDS too. I did see a couple of articles recently on how bad it had been at reat homes in general. Super susceptible population, crammed in and exposed to health workers that had high probability to come in contact with it. TBH, they are kind of breeding grounds for it.

I drank heavily during that period so I believe that made me immune. I have sponsored a recent study that proves keeping a certain BAC level will kill the virus. Should be published soon in Whiskey Quarterly.

Jesus H. Buttfuging Christ....that is 70 minutes long. What is the Cliff's Notes?
