We're All Gonna Die

The daily check-ins from the Health Department have been regular.  They want to know her temp, if symptoms have changed, and if today is worse, better, or the same as yesterday.  So far not much change for her, so no follow up phone calls.  Interesting that they aren't just running down her contact, but are also tracking her health.  If you've got the virus and you don't have family members or friends checking on you regularly, that's probably a life saver for some.

It has the benefit of being research material.

one of my closest friends just got it...from his barber cause Black people care way too much about their hair....so far just super chills and feels weak...just got back from an IV at the hospital...he describes it as the super flu

[Diomedes]

Sorry to hear that.  He lives in MD?   



110k+ dead nationally, 400k+ dead globally

When was the last time we heard anything from the White Supremacy House about this?

Also - no one is bothering with masks or social distancing here anymore.  shtein is gonna skyrocket. 

[General_Failure]

They're still using them at stores here, at least, but there's way too many parties going on at people's houses.  One of my neighbors had a yard sale last week. A couple of the older folks were wearing masks, but nobody else.

Went to the dentist this morning.  Out comes a geriatric with a walker... no mask.

Fauci said last time he talked to Cheeto Dick was May 18th.

interesting: asymptomatic vs. presymptomatic...very different

Asymptomatic carriers are not spreading the disease much.
Pre-symptomatic people are.

Yeah the right wing idiots on my social media timelines already jumped all over that. Dumbasses don't know the difference between asymptomatic and presymptomatic. And to be fair, the WHO once again does a bad job communicating.

[Rome]

"The WHO is intentionally misinforming us!"

"Just socially distance the 35 kids in your classroom!"

If that's the plan, I'll keep my kids home thanks.

[Munson]

Yeah I expect that unless things get worse here again this summer that there gonna send us in full bore in the fall. Then someone will get sick in a few weeks and we'll get shut down again.

[Geowhizzer]

If that's the plan, I'll keep my kids home thanks.

Hopefully, Maryland's governor isn't a full-out Trumper like DeSantis.
