Cinemas fucking suck. You walk down the aisle having to listen to popcorn crunching under your feet, you sit in a chair that's damp because some dickhead spilled his drink on it, the floor's sticky because that's where the rest of the drink went, you have obnoxious people constantly talking throughout the movie, there is always a family of tall people who sit directly in front of you no matter how many seats are available and you miss 5 minutes of the movie when you need a piss and can't find the bathroom.

As our culture has gotten more niggerfied movie theaters have gotten worse and worse. I have't been to a movie theater in 5 years and never intend to go to one again.

Also, the popcorn's too fucking salty.

If you think this is going to force me to pay you four bucks for a drink, you're woefully mistaken; I bring mine with me.

Remember when Brian KKKemp was going to kill us all?
Remember when Georgia being the first state to open up was going to cause us to lead the country in deaths and new cases?
Remember?

Kemp was a weird case. He lives near a CDC building yet went something like "I didn't know this was happening" when told about the Wuflu. The reason why it blew up so bad when this started was because a funeral happened when a majority of the people there got the virus but the WHO didn't report it as a pandemic at the time.
Most likely a combo of Kemp just got a really bad start compared to everyone else plus WHO not reporting it when the damage was already too far ahead to do anything. Then got enough research from CDC to see that it was really akin to a really bad flu season to open up.

So DeWine has added six more counties to his "red" level and removed Huron county from the list. The county that was red but only had 22 hospitalizations and 2 deaths since January. I guess his gamed system had a false positive. By me, Clermont county as added to the red list, but all of it's metrics have been declining since the start of July. Except ICU bed usage, but COVID related ICU bed usage has dropped and it's not evaluated by county, but by usage percentage, over 80% usage five times or more a week I think, for the Health Region, not per county. So Clermont is effectively being punished because Cincinnati put two people in the ICU or some such. The system is designed to make things look worse then they are.

Also, he was evasive about giving the one good journalist actual answers and apparently claimed he didn't restrict Funerals at all, which is bullshit. About two months ago we attended a funeral which was caught on camera with more people than his 10 person limit, no masks, no distancing at all. He clearly doesn't give a shit about his own restrictions and given the real hard daily numbers? Neither should anyone in this state.

I said this somewhere here before, but the early super-spreader outbreak in Georgia (specifically Albany, GA) was a case of exaggerated negritude:

Some Black shot another Black dead over some disrespeckin', the Black who got shot was popular or sumfin', he was a good boy (this time he actually wuz employed n sheeit). Then they had a massive funeral and several parties right as the China Virus started gaining steam in the SE. Next thing you know, there were hundreds of cases in the middle of nowhere, a real mystery. I expect the media coverage was poor at best but this was relayed to me in real time by a resident of the area (getting real time updates via small town social media connections).

HOUSTON – Mayor Sylvester Turner said the coronavirus pandemic in Houston and in Texas is out of control and that Houstonians actions in the next few weeks were critical to slowing the spread of the deadly virus.

Turner was joined by Dr. David Persse, Fire Chief Sam Peña and police Chief Art Acevedo at 3 p.m. Thursday.

Turner started the news conference by reminding residents about the importance of filling out their 2020 Census form.

COVID-19 cases
The Houston Health Department reported 412 new coronavirus cases, bringing the city’s total to 26,012. The department also reported five additional COVID-19 related deaths, according to Turner

Turner said one patient was a Hispanic male in his 30s. He said all five patients had underlying health issues.

“The numbers are moving in the wrong directions for us,” Turner said.

He emphasized how it is vital that the city bring the cases down to 300 reports for at least seven days because it will make it more practical to engage with the city’s contact tracing.

“COVID-19 in Houston and the state is out of control. What we do today and next few weeks critical to getting back to a manageable state,” he said.

Turner said with the need for ICU beds, the city is currently in phase 2. He continued to encourage residents to stay home, work remotely and wear a mask when out in public or inside a building.

COVID-19 deaths under-reported
Persse also stated that the number of COVID-19 related deaths are possibly being under-reported due to how physicians sign the death certificate and label cause of death.

“We may never know how many deaths,” he said.

Persse said a patient who dies at the hospital may or may not get tested for COVID-19 and will possibly be unaccounted for.

“Don’t think because the number of deaths is small, any death is tragic,” he said.

New testing site
The new testing location will open on the east side of downtown Houston in District 8, Turner said. Officials said Second Ward has a 76% Hispanic population.

Update on Houston Fire Department
Peña said there are 244 firefighters currently in quarantine. He said 79 firefighters have tested positive for the virus.


Peña also said the department has received 71 complaint calls on businesses within a 24-hour period.

He also encouraged residents to not shy away from calling 911 for help or assistance for emergency and to not have fear going to the hospital.

Update on Houston Police Department
Acevedo said 219 members of the department are currently in quarantine and that 147 members have tested positive, recovered and has since returned to work.

Acevedo asks for prayers after one sergeant is on a respirator and two others are hospitalized with COVID-19 complications.

"If patients die of other shit that isn't COVID and we don't test them for COVID then how can we blame COVID instead of what actually kills them?"

Friendly reminder heart disease kills 400,000-600,000 per year.

In Michigan, Governor Whitmer is giving serious consideration to requiring masks under threat of misdemeanor charges. Various city, county, and state police departments are already saying they lack the resources to be mask police and prefer to intervene only if/when refusal to wear a mask becomes a matter of trespass or public disturbance. No word on whether the police protestors that haven't been wearing masks would be required to comply with such a requirement.

Whitmer stresses wearing masks: What steps Michigan could take next

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced no new mask requirements or enforcement measures Thursday, but said announcements could be made soon.

Limited clothing! At the beach! On boats! My god, are they all wearing just shorts and swimsuits?! These deviants!

"Limited clothing" was most likely the article author's immature euphemism for the fact that some of the women on boats have been known to take off their tops as part of the Jobby Nooner. While it became less popular once convictions for public nudity now require an extended stay on the state's sex offender registry, it probably still happens on a smaller scale.

Scientists warn of potential wave of brain damage linked to Covid-19

Scientists warned on Wednesday of a potential wave of coronavirus-related brain damage as new evidence suggested Covid-19 can lead to severe neurological complications, including inflammation, psychosis and delirium.
www.cnbc.com www.cnbc.com


Covid-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, is largely a respiratory illness that affects the lungs, but neuroscientists and specialist brain doctors say emerging evidence of its impact on the brain is concerning.

“My worry is that we have millions of people with Covid-19 now. And if in a year’s time we have 10 million recovered people, and those people have cognitive deficits ... then that’s going to affect their ability to work and their ability to go about activities of daily living,” Adrian Owen, a neuroscientist at Western University in Canada, told Reuters in an interview.

It’s just like SARS. Long-term, chronic effects, like lung scarring and brain damage. :(
