~*Official #COVID-19 Thread of Doom*~ Revenge of Omicron Prime


Recommended Posts

Nevada will require masks in public starting on Friday.  I support this, but it will be interesting to see how many people willfully violate the new rule.  The governor did say that businesses that are found to not be enforcing the rule can be fined or have their operating licenses pulled.

In California my grocery store put up a sign saying you had to wear a mask. I think I only saw one person not wearing one. And other weeks it was probably 50/50

I've been seeing a lot of people online asking the question "why are cases rising but deaths aren't?"

 

It's the same as the answer to the question "if we've been open for a few weeks, why aren't cases rising?" - just give it time.

 

The average time from diagnosis until death is 20 days in the US. Add seven to 14 days from time of contraction before diagnosis, and there is a three to four-week lag from rising cases to rising deaths.

Him being a civilian is the entire fucking point of him being the head of the military. 

That was my immediate thought, but realized it didn't matter because the only people who care and believe anything he says will NEVER hear the analysis of anything stupid he says. It's partly why I'm so turning off 2020 and fast-forwarding to 2021, where I hope I don't emerge from my cryosleep and discover we're living in the Purge or government has become Skynet.

Hopefully I don't have to kick that many people out because they don't have a mask on. This weekend is going to be interesting.

This is the kind of stuff that gets me... yea, you're most likely to survive COVID-19, but that's rarely followed up by how they'll cope if they get hospitalized and need intense treatments. Extended periods on the vent is going to be a rough time with rehab plus the thought of needing to recover from delirium and PICS (post-intensive-care-syndrome) is a hard pass. No fucking thanks.

If they weren't I wouldn't push too hard to make them, that's a good way to get yourself infected.

Operations that do not comply with the order will face action from state and local law enforcement, Sisolak said. He added that he hoped those sanctions would not include fines and fees imposed on Nevadans, who are already grappling with one of the nation’s highest unemployment rates.

I meant you personally. As in making a huge confrontation out of people who won't because there will be plenty who won't.


And, anecdotally, it seems when those douchebags are confronted there are some that decide to start purposely coughing and spitting on the ones confronting them.
