Corona and other diseases

I saw a video on the BBC Breakfast Show this morning that showed a woman in a Co-Op store, destroying an entire wall of wine bottles after being, politely, asked to follow the floor lines...
Wish I could find a link. It is truly disgusting and disturbing.

Should be instant jail for anything like that, with a multiplier for any sentence due to doing it in a time of crisis.

 

[Iceman]

I saw way more people wearing masks in my patch of London today than I have seen before so it seems like the message is getting to some people.

Yes, same here. I’ve noticed more people with masks this week than at any time to date. Hopefully it means people are finally starting to improve their behaviour as that has always been the biggest stumbling block.

 

[Iceman]

Same. I have a deficiency. Hope this doesn't mean there will be a run on my pills and I won't be able to get them.

Oh. Maybe time to stock up, especially as you have more need than all these other people.

Florida governor proposes college 'bill of rights' to party

[squeekness]

Florida does know it has the third highest amount of cases in the states, right?

Jesus ****ing christ. Here I am, worried that my state and county numbers are lower than reality because colleges may be covering them up.

Oh, also great news on the health of the US institutions....

Where was the oversight?

...

Oh... Yeah...

Just like last time when tax cuts were meant to spur corporations to pay their employees more and innovate, they instead used it to enrich themselves and give two middle fingers to their employees.

Aha, I found a clip...

Coronavirus: Officers and protesters hurt as police try to clear anti-lockdown rally in central London

You. Can't. Protest. Away. A. Virus.

My government is full of morons.

Reopening Indiana: What moving to Stage 5 during COVID-19 means.

 

[Schlosser85]

They’re just moving to full reopenings no matter what’s going on, as if the virus is receding when it’s not. It’s maddening.

 

[Teelie]

The only time stage 5 or whatever they call full opening is should be after a majority of people have been vaccinated. Not even just started vaccinations. Most people vaccinated. These whiners about wanting to go back to normal are only prolonging it by setting back every inch of progress made.

Exactly.

AND, it seems likely to cause COVID outbreaks as the election nears. What Trump doesn't seem to realize is this is not a good thing for him. He seems to see things only short term. It's a lot like a child with the inability to grasp the concept of delay of gratification.

If he wasn't so shortsighted, he'd see that it was in his own best interest to be proactive re: the virus from the get-go. Why he is seemingly incapable of understanding that he can't get his precious booming economy back without handling the virus first is beyond me.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Oh God... it's getting bad here again. My region went from the second least affected to the worst.

People just don't care.

Chinese government doesn’t care about risks. I’m sure even direct mass deaths would be fine if it meant eradicating the virus from certain areas.

Where are you?

 

[Schlosser85]

An old lady customer the other day was griping about how "I don't know why we have to wear these masks".

Bit my tongue from saying "don't watch a whole lot of news, do you"?
