Like what the fuck? Am I supposed to feel bad, or should I just laugh and enjoy my young, healthy body while I still have it?

You're supposed to be protecting THEM and the fatties. Screw your young and healthy body. Your role in life is to serve the old and unhealthy.

the likelihood is that this will circulate, kill a few hundred, and then fizzle out. But make no mistake, one of these emergent viruses (probably flu, but maybe a respiratory something like a novel coronavirus) will emerge, spread and rival or exceed the 1917 flu pandemic. It’s just how nature works.

Well shit, I guess Amy Acton is an evil heartless nazi now. I mean, that's what happened when Trump said basically the same thing, right?

Former Ohio health chief Dr. Amy Acton: Fear is more harmful than the coronavirus​

Jackie Borchardt
Cincinnati Enquirer



COLUMBUS – Former Ohio health department director Dr. Amy Acton is encouraging Ohioans to "dig deep" one more time as the state experiences its greatest amount of coronavirus spread yet.

"We face a contagion fare more insidious than this virus and that is fear," Acton says in a new video. "Fear paralyzes us and it leaves us turning inward and away from one another. It prevents us from being there to support each other. That’s exactly what we need to do right now."

Acton stepped down from the director post in June and left the DeWine administration in August. She's now the director of kindness for the Columbus Foundation's Kind Columbus initiative. The video was published Friday to mark World Kindness Day.

Acton has given only one media interview since her departure. She told The New Yorker magazine last month the country needs "a long-term emotional survival strategy" to get through the pandemic.
In the video, Acton urged Ohioans to support each other during the next few months, especially health care workers who are feeling the strain of greater spread.


"Please, let's commit to act on love, not hate," Acton said. "Let us act on kindness and not fear. Being courageous – and we do need to be courageous now – does not mean that you don't have fear, but it means you keep going anyways."

Acton earned praise and fandom for her guidance and daily public presence in the early days of Ohio's pandemic response. She also was criticized for early projections of the virus spread that are only materializing now and for health orders she signed that closed businesses and schools in March.

DeWine's pick to replace Acton turned down the job citing harassment directed toward Acton, which included armed protesters demonstrating outside her home and an anti-abortion group publishing an interview with her estranged mother that questioned her mental health.

Ohio is now in its third surge of the virus, with a record 7,101 new cases and 3,024 current hospitalizations reported Thursday.
In the video, Acton said the coming months will be difficult and we "must make sacrifices this holiday season to safeguard all of the holidays to come." She urged people to wear masks, keep physical distance from others and wash hands – each like a layer of swiss cheese that combined are more effective than any one act.

Acton said kindness is yet another layer that will help: "Don those capes, don your mask, don kindness and we will go on this journey with you."

Ah yes, the Health Director who didn't even know how viruses reproduce, never got any of her projections right, never followed her own orders, and who is most likely responsible for DeWine's completely moronic multicolored board. If any one person is responsible for the amount of fear going around this state it's her and now he's worried about it. I still love how after closing hair salons and barbers, both her and DeWine never looked like they missed a haircut or getting highlights. The Lt. Gov, Jon Husted, actually looked like he was going to rock a mullet from his high school football days. Shame his political career may be torpedoed by proximity, he doesn't seem that bad for an Ohio politician.

I like how they bring up the protesters at her house and not that it was a couple dozen people and it's because she has to sign the health orders, not the governor. The anti-abortion thing involved a clinic that was shuttered because it wasn't following state laws and once she got it she just gave them their license back. No penalties or forcing them to actually follow state law. She hasn't practiced medicine since her residency and has done nothing but political advocacy most of her adult life, despite her claims otherwise. If you want to know the depths of DeWine's RINO nature, she was doing some kind of campaign related work for Obama in 2008 either under her maidan name or he previous husband's name.

Even with the obvious folding of flu numbers into our cases, we still haven't reached her end of March daily case projections. Deaths aren't even close.

They're bitter that people made it to 20 without getting fat. A lot of medical and medical-related paradigms annoy me (especially now) because they assume the average fat fuck is healthy, and since the average is fat enough to be increased risk that means that "healthy" people have increased risk.

I remember the same thing happening with household freezers in in March when the masses started stockpiling food. A few weeks later people at waste companies said they'd never seen so much food being thrown out.

My neighborhood food bank has started to get massive donations from individuals who over-bought canned and dry food at the end of February and during March, when everybody was panic-buying in anticipation of the lockdown.

Some people think that, with a vaccine around the corner, they'll no longer need to be prepared to stay home for weeks on end, so rather than use up what they bought, they're donating it (and most are first-time donors who are shitty about getting receipts so they can write it off their taxes).

It's stupid and wasteful and totally consoomeristic, but at least people who have been hit hard by the lockdowns can use it. The food bank's inventory has been stretched to the max for months now, due to the increase in clients, so hey, if the fools want to offload all of that perfectly good food? Let them.

Come on, just two years to flatten the curve. This is our generation's World War II. All we have to decide is what to do with the time given to us [picture of Gandalf looking pensive]. If you don't wear a mask I hope you fucking die in agony.

Why yes, I have been looking at the coof subreddits, how could you tell?

I like it for the stories about people dressing up in homemade BSL-4 to buy groceries, which they bleach and place in the sun for a couple days to kill the varus. Those have kind of dropped off, but there's still the occasional panicked post from some teenager or young adult who felt a tickle in their throat and they're sure they're gonna die. I read somewhere a significant number of COVID cases develop mental illness; I think COVID gives people with mental illness something to talk about.
