PANDEMIC UPDATE


 FACTS AND OBSERVATIONS

SOME DATA

How some cities ‘flattened the curve’ during the 1918 flu pandemic.






LESS THAN STELLAR BEHAVIOR

 He spit in his hand then rubbed it on the box.

Ukraine, Boryspil International Airport.
 People returning from Vietnam refuse to go in quarantine and just crash through barricades (March 29).
 Then proceed to awaiting cars to go home.

This is a thank you to first responders and medical staff. 
And a reminder that we are in a real emergency.

An unusually large herd of deer run through Housing development in Frederick, Maryland. A herd usually consists of 4-6 individuals. This is one of many stories about how mass shelter in place policies are changing animal behavior. Birds are noticeably louder and chatter in urban areas. Foxes are invading cities and metro stations. Same with the coyote. Nature isn’t good or evil. It’s not for or against us. But god damn it would have no problem taking everything back. 
 

Every city should end all parking meters and make parking garages free so fewer essential workers have to take the contaminated buses or subways. 

 THE LIGHTER SIDE OF THE PANDEMIC

 STAYTHEFUCKATHOME HUMOR

 ===

The wife and I take a drive every couple of days. I made a sign to show my disdain for people ignoring the isolation orders.
By the way, my beard stopped somewhere between homeless guy and hermit but nowhere near wizard length.

Some people handle their essential worker status worse than others...

Do you not see the irony here? You are ignoring the isolation orders by going out to “take a drive.”

What happens when you get gas? Or have an accident? YOU are the very people they’re talking about when they say STAY THE FUCK HOME.

Or maybe, hopefully, you’re just joking and I almost missed it?

I drive an electric golf cart with doors and I not only don't get out of the cart plus I don't even drive near anyone.
People are encouraged to walk or jog for exercise but to still maintain social distancing.
I hope that clears things up.

You are in an at risk group. You are not exercising. Why do you think “stay at home” applies to everyone but you?

Seriously losing respect for you, my friend. Think about it.

So, you are telling me I'm not allowed to take a short drive in a closed vehicle?
