Masks, etc. will still be required in Michigan, as Dr. Robert Gordon, head of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, has issued his own orders, which largely mirror Governor Whitmer's recently-invalidated ones, and expects to issue more in the coming days.

Imagine trying so hard to get rid of those laws just for the government to go "No U"
In the beginning I said that our overall response to this virus evidenced what I referred to as a "weakened social immune system", our lack of cohesion and connection in a post-modern wasteland manifesting itself as social chaos. I stand by this assessment, and it's worse than I initially thought. On the plus side, I really have been living my life normally, including going out partying on weekend nights (even if the bars close early). I've almost never had to involuntarily don a voodoo droplet protector in the course of my normal routine, and when I've been asked to outside of specific business (which has also been infrequently) I've just gone to the next similar retail store instead.
Even worse wont obsessive sanitation make only the most resistant strains of covid-19 survive? The media actually had a panic a while back about "super bugs" But they dont talk about that now. Long term speaking if people really do lockdown for long enough wont they lose immunity after 2 years?
Lets make it a game! See how few times you have to take your mask off per meal!
Next, they'll tell us to sleep with a mask on.
Get with the times old man. There was already an article on having sex with your mask on.
20% is the percentage of people who are asymptomatic, you've got the stat backwards


Have you?


Except for the fact that SARS patients are still suffering almost two decades later.
I think it was actually 40%. according to this
Nice job ignoring all the other things you included in that big long list.

Would you support the genocide of fat people? Because that seems to be the logical conclusion of the rest of your tirade.
Natural selection does not equal genocide. If people were aware of the risks of being fat they would avoid it. instead they want the government to make reality safe for them at the expense of everyone else.

totally agree. for what it's worth, I can think of at least half a dozen people in my social and work circle who have dropped a shitload of weight while off work. A couple weren't trying at first, but the lack of fast food and cakes and "wickle treatie weaties" at work kick started it, and they built upon that. Others saw the photos of "young and healthy" people dying of it, put two and two together, and decided to lose weight. And others have seen family who were fat die of it, and taken that as a real kick up the butt to start changing their habits. And good for them, really.

getting fat is one thing. Choosing to stay fat and expecting the world to grind to a halt because your shitty choices put you more at risk is the epitome of selfishness.
 
Well, you're perfectly entitled to do so, but I can't say I understand your reasoning, It smacks of "I hate my life but lack the requisite stones to off myself so nobody else should either".
I hope this doesn't sound condescending but that sounds like projection so I sincerely hope you're doing alright man and you get better if not, I do realise stuff's pretty bad right now and I don't mean to discount that. My reasoning is literally just that God forbids it.

hey, you don't at all actually. Sound condescending, I mean.

And your reasoning makes a lot of sense. I'm not saying that to be patronising though I get that it might come across like that. :)

No. Soap and alcohol aren't something that can easily be adapted to in any reasonable timescale, by either virus or bacteria. Soap especially, as it mechanically destroys the lipid membranes of both, which is why it's such an effective sanitiser. Superbugs, such as MRSA, are the result of overuse of antibiotics, which act against particular biological components of the cell, and to which defences can be evolved by mutating the components that those antibiotics function on.

A virus evolving a resistance to soap, in any human timescale, would be like us evolving a resistance to bullets. It ain't happening.
 
Man I really wish my local news had a Youtube channel or something, I don't have a DVR (or whatever those tv recorders are called) either but anyway they really fucking pay these people to say the craziest shit.
Trying to eat dinner with my family and the news is airing a segment on how "speaking loudly may spread Covid-19". I've seen some random articles here and there but didn't expect it to be shown on TV where all the normies watch that over reading the news. And of course they're reading the script in their loud newspeaking voice, because only they can talk loud I guess?
Like we get it you want to control the way we speak, where we are at all times, and how we think at all times, no need to make it that blatant.
I just wanna eat dinner man.
 
Can't remember if I already posted about it, but a few "experts" around my area were trying to recommend that to minimize infection high school and college students should rank their friends, myspace style, then cut contact with all but the top 5 or so.

You know, just until the pandemic is over. Because that totally won't cause any lasting resentment...

Wow. That's not at all unhealthy and won't fuck up a lot of people in the long term, right? I've seen a couple I know who work in STEM, in all fairness, spending the last few months losing it completely over everything, being completely and utterly histrionic over this all, but back when it started being a thing, they were the first to REEE "racism!!" at any proposal to close borders. It's just jarring to me, that we're being told on the one hand, you can still go on vacation, both domestically and internationally, but if you see anyone outside your household or "support bubble" then you are LITERALLY MURDERING GRANDMA YOU SELFISH PIECE OF SHIT!!!! How it can be safe to cross international borders for a vacation, but not safe to see a friend, seems a touch contradictory to me.

My (((mayor))) used the speaking loudly is bad bs to ban loud music and dancing. Not kidding, yes I'm living out my fantasy of being in Footloose but without Kevin Bacon. Also ordering while standing at the bar is forbidden, but not if you are sitting (only the higher end bars are obeying this latest "science based" crazy).

October feels like we've turned a corner, and more ppl are just outright ignoring the masks and social distancing rules. Our fat 74 year old president recovering in 2 days is helping, can't ignore that! Plus churches are now in open defiance of the limits on indoor gatherings.

The rest of Alaska is basically back to normal with a few exceptions. Unfortunately I live in the blue city of Anchorage, fuck me right? Won't be making that mistake ever again, lease is up in under 6 months thank god.

A few places tried banning alcohol, and other things that give people some small amount of comfort in trying times, because apparently getting drunk in your own home spreads the shanghai shits to your entire neighbourhood, I guess. It's like the puritans have all come crawling out of the woodwork, like so many slimy little bastard leeches, determined to suck all the joy and happiness out of everyone's lives.

NO YOU MAY NOT ENJOY FOOD IN THE COMPANY OF OTHERS YOU HEATHEN SINNER

Get back in your pod!

I just want to touch someone other than my wife.

Not like that.

Perverts.
 
I like this take by Compting Forever.
Anyone who has seen the protesters outside clinics in NI that refer women to mainland UK for abortions will know, the Irish - on both sides of the border - know how to protest. I'd already seen this video, but it is well worth a watch and is interesting.

Edited to sat, having watched it again: It is well worth noting what he covers about the UN and the WHO and their "Great Reset" as well as the use of the phrace "build Back Better" among Biden, the Conservative Party in the UK, and among the aforementioned bodies above. After hearing people rebuff fans of David Icke et.al who have said the Great Reset is coming for a long time, to finally see this phrase being used so openly is more than a touch disconcerting I think.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) confirms she intends to use the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity to keep the essence of her orders in force.

The Republican-controlled legislature is returning from its normally-scheduled recess to work out exactly what they're going to do about issues that these departments can't touch, perhaps the most crucial of which is Governor Whitmer's unilateral extension of unemployment benefits and eligiblity, which just got invalidated, possibly retroactively back to April 30th.
Under normal circumstances (to which we have legally returned), but not under Whitmer's orders:
  • Voluntarily quitting a job disqualifies one from unemployment benefits for the next 18 months.
  • Child care responsibilities are not an acceptable reason for unemployment benefits.
  • Recipients must be actively looking for work.
Recall that Whitmer's orders weren't valid to begin with, so anyone who received unemployment benefits because of the "order" may be on the hook to repay it.
More in the A&N thread.
 
Not sure what is going on in other countries but banks in the UK are experiencing record numbers of customers going into credit for the first time in many, many, years since the virus started.
We are not talking big amounts of credit , but it all adds up to a fucking lot over many millions of customers and several high street banks.
More people than normal have cleared loans and there is less defaulting going on too. There have been bits in the news , but I have been getting the same info from friends in banking.
Lots of money saved not commuting, people buying more food in bulk to store, small businesses getting 10k handouts, less eating out/takeaway etc are causing this.
It could all be very temporary and a flash in the pan , but once all these people start getting a taste for being in credit, and the benefits of being solvent, maybe a huge number of them will strive to retain it. Is this another function of the Great Reset?

Yet people who doesn't think covid is the bubonic plague are called selfish. Fuck them. If this isn't humanities biggest mistep, idk what is
 
Nazi Newsom strikes again. Luckily for me, haven't been in a restaurant since the house arrest started. Don't eat outside, don't like bugs and weather vagaries. You can bet Newsom won't follow what he expects the rest of the inmates to do. FUCK NEWSOM.

Added: yet more insanity from CA's little Hitler. Nazi Newsom will milk this until he is recalled or defeated for re-election.
