It's pretty clear at this point that everyone should be taking Vitamin D

Holland and Barrett are still out of my favoured Vitabiotics brand, but have plenty of other options available. Might be worth getting many months ahead in your stocks in case supplies dwindle in autumn or when this message gets wider public penetration. It costs pennies, and Kiwi lives are more important than others.
 
Looks like Minnesota is lifting some of the restrictions on businesses in the state: (Link goes to archive ) but you still can't get a haircut. But on the bright side, the MN Supreme Court has decided that White Minnesotans will be forced to learn native Moon Language in order to pronounce the name of a prominent and popular lake that's been in our history for the last 150 years. Surely this will end slavery and oppression for all time!

I would like to thank Tim and Nancy (Pelosi) right now. I'm delighted that our overlords, in various states, are taking the Chinese virus seriously and are not taking this opportunity to introduce authoritarian measures which have nothing to do with WuFlu into WuFlu laws and orders. Of course social justice mumbo-jumbo, that serves no purpose but to help regressives get elected, is clearly not being shoehorned into potential acts and bills that might contain some decrees about the WuFlu quarantining, lockdowns, and/or financial aid. Everything that these heroes are doing is for our benefit, and we should show our appreciation come election time.
 
I really can't stand NextDoor, wherein there are nanny-staters who state "rules are rules," and can't abide the fact that two mutually-consenting parties might agree to a business transaction in the form of a haircut, taking place in someone's home. These people label anyone consenting to such a transaction as "far-right." Apparently, people don't understand how a haircut can help job interviews, and how some people can't give themselves haircuts without butchering their hair. Coincidentally, I found one of these specimens begging for a building contractor during the "stay-at-home" order.

I enjoy the hypocrisy immensely.

That's why I have never joined such shit.
 
Well, it's official.

I have no job to return to. Benefits are gone, retirement is gone... it's all fucking gone. The company is toast. Put in an application at Lowes today, maybe I'll get lucky and they'll find the Catgirl-shaped needle in the haystack and hire me. They are one of the only places that is still open so everyone is applying there. Not how I wanted to spend my midlife. Worked my ass off to get out of retail and away from customers.

Awooo~

Seriously. Pizza Hut. Its been keeping me out of the house and pulls me in 50 bucks a night on average, plus hourly. And unlike most places they also pay you for the miles you travel for Gas and put on your vehicle. Been walking away with about 1200 bucks every 2 weeks. About what I could have been making sitting on my ass collecting Stimulus money lets be fair, but more self respect. Way more money then being a cashier at Lowes. And unlike most everything else they are hiring.
 
Not here in bongistan. Sun is something we leave the country to find.
You dont need direct sunlight. you need way less minutes in direct sunlight. going to the south for sun is not needed, my vitamin D level were off the charts last time i got tested , i was 3 weeks in porto before...

Fresh Air and Sunshine are good for you. What a conspiracy theory.
Yes, im a paid russian bot who tries to spread missinformation to kill you all with wuflu

I don't know what country you're in. But if it's the states, consider migrating to one of the states that are reopening. And if it's not... good luck I guess.

Many spaniards get clinically depressed after migrating to england due to vitD deficiency. So indeed I cam corroborate english climate is as shit as the legend says. My question is how have brits managed to adapt to living under such climate. But I guess that does explain the cynicism.

I'm jealous that you live in a place where the pizza delivery guy isn't robbed or out right murdered like they are here.

Does anyone know if the virus is mutating? I'm of the opinion that there will never be a reliable vaccine and we'll only have hodgepodge cures.

I tend to take on a lot of these kinds of jobs besides my full time job because I like to have a decent nest egg. Shit like delivering newspapers and curiour work where you can just drive around and listen to podcasts for a couple hours a few times a week and make some extra cash. My phone has been ringing off the hook because they can't find people so they're calling old employees. In my province there are 10 active cases and have been no new cases for over a week. The unemployment rate is over 16%.

Canada introduced the CERB which pays people who lost their income due to Covid-19 $2,000 a month. You can make up to $1,000 a month an still qualify plus a lot of these jobs pay under the table. If you delivered newspapers and were on CERB for example, you could have a $2,800 monthly income and work like two hours a day, but people aren't doing it. The only conclusion I can come to is people are too scared to work. It's really something.

That or 30 years of propaganda have convinced people these jobs are "beneath" them and it would be better to import third world menials to do them. Works out for me I guess, even on a friday night my store is struggling to have even 3 drivers on hand for the massive rush. So I am often going out with two orders at a time, which can easily come out to 10 bucks in tips in the span of 30 minutes. Repeat that a second time, plus the hours and the gas money and that is 25+ dollars an hour during peak time on the weekend. Of course, everything is so out of whack it can happen on any day. I pulled in about 65 dollars on Wednesday over a 5 hour period.

I don’t believe you can ingest enough Vitamin D to even come close to your body’s generation of it by sunlight exposure. Get out! Be brave!

There isn’t a safe vaccine for SARS so you’re probably right. We will have to take it like a man (or an XY chromosome carrier, to be clear). 2020 is the Year of the Simp.

That may be true in your area, but my province is 98% white. No doubt they are viewed as low class jobs though.

Whatever. I haven't had a car loan since 2010.
It’s not propaganda. Studies have shown a marked Testosterone decline generation to generation. Shows up even in grip strength. From speaking with contractors, most of them say they prefer hiring 1st or 2nd generation immigrants as they are more used to the harsh, muscle work (I.e installing chain link fence or roofing). Gringos usually can’t take the sun, heat, labor and run off within a week. Hopefully this changes for the USA’s sake.

A lot of nursing homes will train you on the job to become a CNA right now.

The pay's complete shit but at least it's something.

I don't doubt it's true or that it won't happen here eventually. It's not like that here yet though. We're the Mexico/Poland of Canada. The roofers in other provinces are from here.

It will happen anywhere as long as technology makes life too easy. Having a strong grip was a condition of survival before, now with OSHA’s 50lb requirement and other ergo faggotry, anybody can do a job. Until they can’t: Firemen and cops who don’t shoot suspects as a first recourse.
