PANDEMIC INFO


Stay The Fuck at Home
You must listen to this man's ditty.
It's NSW but you're not at work anyway.

I have mentioned before about all the different terms for the same thing: 
Shelter in place
Self-quarantine
Self-isolation
Hunker down, etc.

I am going to use that man's wonderful song as my inspiration. I will now only use STAYTHEFUCKATHOME.

STAYTHEFUCKATHOME: noun
It's much harder than I thought to STAYTHEFUCKATHOME.

STAYTHEFUCKATHOMING: verb
STAYTHEFUCKATHOMING is driving me nuts.


STAYTHEFUCKATHOMED: past tense
I have been STAYTHEFUCKATHOMED for two weeks.

When my wife sent that out on Facebook, all of her friends thought that was me.

 NEWS AND OBSERVATIONS

Look at the deaths.
When I look at that I think about cheating on your taxes. I'm going to get the numbers wrong, but you will get the point.
Only five percent of tax returns are audited. Of those 90 percent are found harmless. Of the rest only 1 percent go to trial - the rest have to pay a fine. When you break that down you realize that serious repercussions of cheating have an acceptable risk.
Looking at the deaths from this scourge it's the same thing. You got to be one unlucky motherfucker to die from it.

And...
Okay, here's my concern. I know the rate of increase in a total number of cases is important for anticipating how many beds the hospitals will need but I want to watch the growth in the rate of deaths.
It's sort of always talking about the total number of car wrecks and not mentioning the fatalities.

PRINTABLE CORONA-VIRUS EMERGENCY WINDOW PLACARD SYSTEM
Switch between black and white rectangles each day.  If neighbors have not changed in days, it is a sign they are in trouble or possibly deceased.
And...
 Window placard alert system - To alert neighbors & emergency responders of any immediate threats or need for assistance.  Currently, we have internet and phone service, but should this change, we need a way to maintain social distancing while staying connected and knowing if your neighbors are ok.

Love and solidarity to all the janitors, garbage handlers, delivery people, truckers, medical workers, retail and restaurant employees, farmers, food workers, transportation workers, tech support, postal workers, utility workers, and all the working-class brothers & sisters who are keeping us alive.

A school teacher in self-isolation because of coronavirus can’t teach her Year One class so she made a fun ‘Pyjama Teacher’ Youtube Channel!

When this is over buy this man's pizza.

"These poor workers are being brought to tears because of the way people are treating them, blaming them and abusing them for something they have no control of! They're humans just like the rest of us, trying to make a living, trying to do the best job they possibly can for everyone at the moment.
"Before you act like an asshole just looking for someone to blame for all of this mayhem, maybe try and think about the fact that these people are just trying to do their jobs and don't need to be abused every 10 minutes just because Woolworths or Coles is out of stock!
"Be a decent human in these times you never know what someone is struggling within their lives and you're abusing someone over not being able to buy 3 packets of pasta or some toilet paper!"

But she goes to work every day anyway.

 THOSE WHO DON'T GET IT

Margaret Cirko is facing several charges, including 4 felonies, after coughing and spitting on produce throughout a grocery store causing them to throw out $35k+ of inventory.

Fuck the lying Chinese. Don't believe me? Lots more info here:
Also...
Microbiology experts in Spain have said that rapid coronavirus tests that the country bought from China are not consistently detecting positive cases. The error was discovered as Spain is in the grip of one of the worst coronavirus outbreaks in the world, second only to Italy in the number of reported deaths.
Studies on the tests done in Spain found that they had only 30% sensitivity, meaning they correctly identify people with the virus only 30% of the time, sources told the Spanish newspaper El País. Those sources told the newspaper that the tests should have a sensitivity of more than 80%. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says rapid tests for influenza are required to have 80% sensitivity. Rapid tests can get a result in minutes but are generally less accurate than other tests. Numerous companies around the world are producing them.

 ON GOVERNANCE

This is just one bill that’s coming due. In the future look forward to the cost of dismantling the state department, backing out of the Paris climate accord, and ending the Iran nuclear deal.
===
This is Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie. House members are racing back to Washington because he has been on Twitter threatening to force a roll call vote which would delay the $2 Trillion dollar stimulus package passed by the Senate. House members will be at risk of exposure to the virus. He also recently opposed a bill that made lynching a federal crime.

 Well, let's go to the transcript.

 

If this debacle isn’t enough to convince you to vote this idiot out of office, I don’t know what will.
