I've worked almost 56 hours a week from the began in May. I might get laid off in September because I guess what the place I work at now likes to do. If that happens I'm taking my money and car and parking in a place out in the middle of nowhere. Less people the better.

Anyone who knows moonspeak may care to translate this and this. The Japanese prefecture of Iwate has broken the zero-infection record. The first case was a man who answered the Japanese government's "Go To Travel" subsidy scheme and brought the virus from the Kanto Region. When the news broke, the man was prompted doxed, both his home and his company received hundreds of insulting calls and e-mails.

It says exactly what you say, also that the man worked for HP. They went camping.
Conversely, on Livedoor, I think it was, people were pissed that they're making a big deal of the virus, because it hasn't and isn't causing any strain on the health system and there's not many people who have died, why are they bugging out about infections now and not deaths anymore? echoing my statement from earlier.
Why, indeed.

Also, this shit is what they've been pushing as the "new normal forever" look. A fucking ahjumma visor. Everyday, everywhere, forever.

There's been a lot of sperging recently about the re-opening of schools on the East Coast. Apparently people are protesting against the decision to re-open in September in New York, although I'm not sure exactly what those kids are supposed to do during the day while their parents work.

I guess these masked protests are somehow "safer" than sitting in classrooms?

Just as a reminder, the mask that little bimbo is wearing?

Doesn't block COVID19. At all. The "but what about the spittle" argument isn't an argument because COVID19 isn't spread by people spitting on each other.

Having said that though, that stupid face shield -- also won't block COVID -- is what a few locals have been using to bypass the mask requirements in the area.

In a month, she'll be wearing goggles, gloves, and a protective vest as well just to keep virtue signaling. We're approaching the creepy fucking cult in Transmetropolitan that lived their entire lives in biohazard suits because they were terrified of the outside world.

Germans were assholes and Hitler was basically that idiot who somehow got power due to the clusterfuck that was Weimar Germany, also he had Mussolini as his bestie, who was somehow more incompetent at war than he was - the Italians got fought to a standstill by Ethiopians even when they had 20th century tech and chemical weapons, and Mussolini thought it was a good idea to get involved in heavily mountainous Greece, therefore delaying Barbarossa by a few critical months. Soviets killed much more of their own people per capita, and Stalin really, really, really hated the Jews, enough to send the NKVD around to burn tons of Judaica and send the Jews east. We all know the American history with eliminating resistant native populations. After the war the Imperial Japanese Army was unofficially remobilized to help the Europeans try to keep the Asian colonies under control. Oh, and everyone still kept Gypsies and homosexuals in jail even if they were in the KZs, because everybody hated Gypsies and homos.

Back to the topic at hand...

Really, then why did I hear for the last couple weeks on NPR about an increase in cases in places that just happened to be hotspots for the riots? I mean, fire burns everything clean, I'm sure that killed the virus? You're telling me getting your cracker ass lungs burned by tear gas didn't at all make them susceptible to a lung infection?

What are you going to believe, the nice packaged narrative or your lying eyes and deductive reasoning skills?

Seriously, if you can have thousands of people running around for 60+ days, packed in shoulder-to-shoulder and sweating and spitting and bleeding all over each other with half of them not even bothering to wear masks and this doesn't cause even so much as a blip in the numbers, I have to wonder what the fucking issue is, then.

Either this virus is the least-transmissible thing in the history of virology or the numbers are completely fake. Andrew's assertion makes no sense.

About the mask thing, there's also those times where people who don't use masks, either because they're sold out at the time, having a shopping trip short enough that doesn't require it, or whatever, didn't catch the virus, while there are articles on people with masks mysteriously catching the virus.
The biggest one is with some masked lady who ordered groceries to her house and the delivery guy who brought those has a mask too. The lady got the virus despite having a mask.
Oddly enough, articles like those faded out.

Even the department of health admits that over 75% of U.S fatalities are in nursing homes and the average lifespan of someone admitted to a nursing home is 6 months even without the virus, I'd be very curious to see what the total deaths look like with those numbers omitted.

@It's HK-47 does the thing they're doing where they deliberately choose a scenario that has tons of deaths all the time in order to prove something is dangerous have a formal name? If it's not already a logical fallacy it should be.

Controversial opinion time! Here we don't have to wear masks outdoors, only in shops. I don't see what the problem is, other than your face probably gets a bit warm and sweaty or your glasses fog up a bit. Make a list, get in the shop with your mask on, grab the stuff on the list as quickly as possible, don't browse because if it isn't on your list you don't need it anyway, pay for it, leave the shop and take your mask off.

Weird, I look at the spots in Ohio and those are where our serious spikes happened. For the non-Ohioans, the dots are Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati. Cincinnati's "spike" was nothing compared to the other cities. Pretty much only because the Governor has had free testing down here for a month.

If it doesn't have a name, then it should be called the COVID fallacy.
