fat ralphy Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 At work dude I share an office with got it - 40yro said he was flu like for 4 days or so. Two other guys in office next to us got it - one hospitalized, had some health issues prior but said it felt like he was “on deaths doorstep”. His office partner said he stayed home but did have some respiratory issues that he didn’t particularly enjoy. Like @SMdoubleXL said I try and avoid the headlines and numbers because it fucks with my head. I credit that to all the extra curricular activities I had as a young kid - but regardless I do my best to avoid unneeded interactions. Growing lonesome and missing a bunch of my routine - but I am on the better safe than sorry team here. I have to go into work - we are required to mask up. Stay safe ooontz. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~KRYLON2~ Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I'm masking up all day. Typically at work I'll be in hospitals, retirement homes, factories, grocery stores, and homes. I'm not risking getting sick or spreading rona to others. I don't get angry when I see others not wearing a mask, it's your life. But I'm definitely keeping my distance and respecting others the way I want to be respected. On a side note, if there's one positive I can take from this fucked up situation is I've become good friends with all my neighbors. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I was on a mandated 5 week testing schedule and it was recently increased to every 2 weeks. That being said I am in the Bay Area and the shit has been popping off here since jump. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 i've just started working in my old office 1 day a week (going crazy workign at home).

Qawee Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 My dad had symptoms on saturday but nothing since then, hes currently waiting on test results, I saw him 5 days prior to that so planning on going to a testing site tomorrow to get tested, but I just saw a video of a local testing site which looked fucking crazy, people standing mad close to each other and a dude with his mask pulled around his chin, if shit looks like that when i get there i'll just try and go with one of the mail order options. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The source is directly from a State of Texas website. They have their physical address on the page and I bet if you headed on over they would be there, in all their lifer behind the desk fill out these three forms glory. https://dshs.texas.gov/coronavirus/AdditionalData.aspx And sure, I will take their word for it. If you want to discount all media and governmental sources then the burden is on you to provide some evidence for doing so. FFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMdoubleXL Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Besides some of the rules that make no sense like bars can’t serve alcohol unless they serve food also type shit is weird but what absolutely baffles me is how people will go out of their way, exert energy (negative towards me instead of positive towards yourself) to tell me that my mask is useless or calling me a sheep or some bullshit. Like-let me mind my muh fuckin business. How does me wearing a mask affect you so much that you feel that need for confrontation? But seriously, how can you be mad that it is legal/acceptable to walk around like this? Edited November 17, 2020 by SMdoubleXL 5 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tails0nE Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 ive had some family members catch covid.. cousin had it bad but didnt need to be hospitalized.. her mother got it and was hospitalized but made it through.. another friend caught it but didnt need to be hospitalized but might catch it again since shes constantly making out with people at the bar and refuses to wear a mask.. one side of my girls family had it and didnt bother telling anybody attending her uncles funeral (thank god we didnt go) and now theyre all getting extremely worse.. weather or not you believe "the media hype things up" or whatever the hell the case is its pretty real out here in chicago.. regardless if you have to be hospitalized and on a ventilator or not its a real thing and alot of people are catching it and alot of them, pre-existing conditions or not, aren't making it through.. i know alot of things dont really make sense but just plz keep your hands washed and sanitized and wear the damn mask it really isnt as bad as people make it seem to be.. been thinking about buying one of those samurai half masks to go over my face mask just for fun.. like, if its mandatory to wear a mask might as well have some fun with it.. seen a guy downtown with a full blown storm trooper helmet on.. pretty sick if you ask me.. looked into some deadpool masks with magnetic eyes to change facial expressions but i dont wanna pay 300 bucks for a cosplay mask.. idk... overall, just stay safe out there guys.. its going on a year now lets plz crush this shit already.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having friendly neighbors is the very closest small circle of community you have to influence and be a part of. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 and just like that we're in our first lockdown. 6 days in house, potentially another 14 to follow. I thought summer was better because the virus is more a cold weather virus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elena Delle Donne Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 when thinking about covid skeptics it is also worth pointing out that ~25% of americans probably think the sun orbits around the earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Another 29% believe in astrology. Assuming these two groups don’t over lap, that means over 50% of our population is certifiably retarded.

misteraven Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Also worth noting Americans are the only ones to have set foot on the moon and will likely set foot on Mars before anyone else manages to get to the moon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kults Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 not sure I buy into any of it but cool doc “Another theorist believed that Kubrick had directed the footage disseminated by NASA to publicize the Apollo 11Moon landing. He believed that there are telltale signs of the use of front projection in NASA's footage and that Kubrick was contracted to produce hoaxed footage of a fake Moon landing. He points to the knitted Apollo 11 sweater that Danny wears and claims that "237" refers to the mean distance of the Earth to the Moon. He also refers to the fact that a carpet pattern resembles the Apollo launching pad as evidence that the film is an elaborate apology of sorts for Kubrick's involvement. The analyst feels that the tirade Jack delivers to Wendy about how she does not understand the duty of work and honoring a contract with an employer portrays Kubrick's own sense of isolation from keeping so big a secret.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_237 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
