Public employees sign a contract with their employer (the state/county/township) as a pre-condition to their employment, dingus. Read the contract and follow it or you get fired. When you sign a document in this country, it is binding.

The efficacy of the contract and the laws it reacts to are another issue entirely and the locals need to deal with that at a local level. Your example (which I can't even find a source on, though I don't doubt it - New Jersey is fucking stupid) isn't some national mandate, which you cannot ever seem to fathom because the only system you know is a top-down authoritarian shithole system.

I sure as hell know that firing shit wouldn't fly in my municipality or most municipalities anywhere in my state unless the person was goosestepping around town and calling people niggas. That complaint would get passed around the office and laughed at. Perhaps people need to get involved in their local affairs in order to fix shit like this.

That's the double-edged sword of our great system: people can get involved and make change. We endow our citizens with the responsibility to govern and the consequences of that responsibility ebb and flow with the feelings of the day.
Lol as I said, multiple public safety employees and others have been targeted in the US for decrying the spread of COVID-19 caused by the wonderful people of Lakewood.

While Chinese people are allowed to talk about their own problematic aliens going full Night of the Living Dead on Chinese nurses.

You seem pretty determined to deny this. What's your deal?
 
It's like I've been saying this entire time. COVID-19 attacks the part of the human brain stem that governs breathing. It gives you a sensation of forgetting how to breathe. There's a very specific explanation for this effect, and it can happen with other coronaviruses, too:




The virus can rise up from the nerves of the lungs, into the vagus nerve, and into the brain stem. It's neurotropic.


Take your spacebattle riddled brain back to your own thread. A neurotropic disease would do this consistently, not on a rare occasion with a handful of patients. The flu does this to, as does the common cold. They are not neurotropic. You have long shown an utter inability to understand how statistics and diseases work.

You say a lot of disingenuous things outside of the lolcow threads (in which you do good work) and I take pleasure in bopping you back to where you belong.

But really, you're just wrong on this one. You seem to willfully misunderstand the nature of the systems of local, state, and national government in the United States to try to make the national government look bad for your own ends. It doesn't suit you when I know you are capable of quality research and can produce thoughtful content.

I don't really have a problem with you, in fact I like you and you're fun to argue with. But you're just so disappointing sometimes, man. :jacepout:
 
btw I caught the virus and as a 29 healthy but a smoker it was pretty fucked up my test came back after I was admited to a Canadian hospital and they told me my immune system "Overreacted" which is what put me there. Now im fine and was released after 3 days. I have no serious symptoms other then my chest and lower back are very sore. So what happened was for around a 6 hour period my chest started spazzing out kinda like a gripping clutch to my heart happened then a spike in temperature which lasted around an hour or so it subsided. then i had a major full body inflammatory response which was scary and lasted around 30 seconds. After that the only way I could explain it is "I forgot how to breath" I had to really try to breath not that my lungs couldn't handle it but my brain not operating normally i had to remember to breath in so 50% of my attention was for breathing I would go 6 seconds without remembering to breath back in, this took several hours to correct before I was brave enough to sleep. I slept 15 hours and woke up shaky but stable and I feel fine now and even started to smoke again but this shit is fucked up.

forgot to mention i felt fine hours before like normal shit crept up out of nowhere i was asymptomatic.

The Sudden onset from feeling normal to fucked up was like 1 hour which would explain some vids of people just dropping in public thankfully I was at home and had my phone near me. That being said if their are less hearty individuals or they live alone means lots of dead people that didn't get to a hospital.
Right around the time I came down with the really nasty cold (that I'm sure was coronavirus) that sent me to the urgent care in early March I started experiencing a galloping heartbeat and a weird spasm with shortness of breath in my chest right as I was falling asleep every night, several days in a row. It was really distressing and I was actually afraid to sleep. I had to start doing deep, controlled breathing until it passed. After I came down with the full blown coof it suddenly went away. At the time I chalked it up to stress over the virus and other things but now I think it was this virus.

I mentioned it to the nurse at the urgent care and she was like "Oh you should see a cardiologist about that we can't deal with that here". Yeah, sure, I bet the cardiologist is waiting for me to come in. No one open for business right now in NYC.
 
the problem with going "Gotham:No Man's Land" with NYC is how many people commute to NYC from Philly, Jersey, New England, etc. And then there is the thousands of entertainers that go from NYC to LA and also all over the world.
The commuters can self-quarantine for a couple weeks then work from home. The entertainers can be shot.

Show us the contract.

OK, General Stone. You know, there is a certain amount of responsibility on the part of the national government of a state for what lower levels do, and for what those lower levels do to regular citizens.

In China, people are allowed to discuss Nigerian facehuggers. China has multiple levels of government. They're all quite tolerant of Chinese voices. I'm not a Chink and I don't like Chinks, but it's hard to rationally deny that.

In America, people are not allowed to discuss the population of Lakewood delibrately spreading the virus. This is very interesting. Is it important to discuss the impact of individual levels of government when Chinamen are free to talk about a problem while Americans are not? I mean, if everyone in government allows you to speak freely, that sounds like you're free, right?
 
So bored out of my skull at home and unemployed thanks to Corona-chans blessing, I decided to apply for the one company in my area that was actually hiring. Pizza hut.

Jesus christ. I've only worked about 28 hours in the last week and a half and have netted almost 500 bucks in tips and hourly. Who knew delivering pizza was such an efficient use of time. Admittedly things are probably really skewed due to everyone being stuck at home. But I ain't complaining. And I get an official piece of paper saying I am "essential". Now ain't that a sign of the times.

Nearly 10,000 recoveries were added onto the totals for the US today. There were 1,400 added int eh last 48 hours this afternoon, so nearly 9000 of those were recently added. New cases are also trending downward for the second day in a row.
 

Okay, I’m a bit of a doomer, but this is getting a bit crazy even for me. What gives the cops the right to dictate to people that they can’t have a little recreation outdoors? That’s bullshit. If it’s an assembly of upwards of fifty people, sure, that’s not very safe, but a family of four having a picnic? If one of them has it, it doesn’t matter. They’re all gonna get sick together in their home anyway. May as well let them have their fucking picnic. Ridiculous.

It totally is neurotropic. I mean, the science is pretty undeniable on this.


At present, clinical data have revealed that some patients with COVID-19 have symptoms similar to intracranial infections such as headache, epilepsy, and disturbed consciousness. Moreover, a growing number of COVID-19 patients report a sudden loss of smell or taste. It is therefore likely that anosmia and dysgeusia might be observed in patients with COVID-19 (Giacomelli et al., 2020, Ryan, 2020, Hopkins and Kumar, 2020). In fact, some even develop COVID-19-related symptoms only after showing neurologic symptoms (Mao et al., 2020). Recently, Beijing Ditan Hospital reported for the first time a case of viral encephalitis caused by the novel CoV attacking the CNS. The researchers confirmed the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in cerebrospinal fluid by genome sequencing, adding support to the theory this new pneumonia virus can also cause nervous system damage (Xiang et al., 2020). It is therefore likely that other pathogenic bacteria, such as bacteria, may destroy the blood–brain barrier, and secondary intracranial infections may cause headaches, projectile vomiting, visual loss, and limb convulsions in patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms.

I couldn't win by arguing law, so instead I'm going to be extremely condescending and gloat about how much smarter and more enlightened I am than those dumb religious folks. That will stop them, right?
Nevermind, that didn't work. Let me try an appeal to emotion! Please don't go out, because my grandma. You don't want to kill my grandma, right? Your religion isn't more important than grandma, right?

If you just say 'The world should stop for me and drop all their rights when I get scared' it'd take a lot fewer words.

I am gonna stop you right there. Modern academic papers are total shit fired out at the volume of a fire hose. A literal fire hose of shit. Everyone enrolled in a graduate or post graduate degree program puts this shit out. Because they are REQUIRED too. Not because they actually have anything interesting to say. The end result is in academia the ratio of papers to assholes is about 1:1. And like the assholes, the papers tend to produce nothing but shit.

Occasionally a real gem might come out of all this shit. Such is the nature of peer review. As all the other assholes in academia scour everyone's shit looking for the few kernels of golden corn hiding in all the shit.

But until that is done, posting some doctoral candidates musings about shit, is shit.
 
Jeez is there anything you can do in Great Britain that doesn't require a loicence? It shouldn't even be called Great Britain anymore. There's nothing great about it. It should be called Cucked Britian.

The Great is in reference to being the largest of the British islands, and it always has been.
