there will be no shutdown 2.0 unless j-pow prints a bazillion dollars to every state

which it wont

trump is definitely gonna send out another 1200 dollar check in October when it is wow, just incredibly REALLY powerfully too little too late to do anything at all, bc it will help with reelection chances.

There's going to be a shutdown one way or another

We can have a voluntary shutdown or we can have an involuntary one when the economy craters

ok yeah i should have clarified voluntary-state-wide shutdowns. some private corps and businesses will choose to shutdown, some local municipalities probably will too (if the GOP governors have not blocked them from doing so, like texas), but the state leaders at large will not voluntary do a shutdown 2.0. even california, one of the few states that had a big surplus, is out of money and can't print money

things are going to shutdown eventually because it has to as every business is already falling like dominos

This is so incredibly far beyond criminally negligent

It's not impossible to get this virus under control! Many countries have done it! But doing so requires competent, functional governance and plutocrats not getting literally everything they want so it's completely out of the loving question here!

How is this hard? It's almost like professional sports represents something beyond a love of the game for a lot of people. Something they feel very threatened by the thought of losing.

they're just like the entitled restaurant patrons in that they enjoy it when other people risk their bodies and minds to keep them fed and entertained. These are some of the only venues of life where they feel like they have power and control.

How Darwinian: Feb 27, 2011

Hey, so, I got #Covid19 in March. I�ve been sick for over 3 months w/ severe respiratory, cardiovascular & neurological symptoms. I still have a fever. I�ve been incapacitated for nearly a season of my life. It's not enough to not die. You don�t want to live thru this, either.

I am not unique. Support groups have sprung up all over the internet because medical science doesn�t know what to do with the hundreds of thousands of Covid patients who don�t get better in the (utter and complete bullshit, and they know it) CDC guidelines of 2-6 weeks. 2/

The CDC is also refusing to add widely-reported, terrifying symptoms to their lists. So here�s a grab bag of what patients like me are experiencing, so you know: Extreme tachycardia. My heart rate was once 160 while I was sleeping. Chest pain, like someone�s sitting� 3/

...on your sternum. Back and rib pain like someone�s taken a baseball bat to your torso. Fatigue like you�ve never felt before in your life. Fatigue like your body is shutting off. Fatigue so bad that it would often make me cry because I thought it might mean I was dying. 4/

GI problems, diarrhea to severe acid reflux. I had diarrhea every day for two+ months. Unbearable nausea. Also: Inexplicable rashes. For me, little broken blood vessels all over my body. For many of us, a constant shortness of breath that doctors can�t find an explanation for. 5/

Neurological symptoms. I had delirium & hallucinations. Many report tingling all over their body, an internal �buzzing� or �vibrating.� Also, insomnia & chronic hypnic bodily jerks. One symptom so weird that I thought it was just me, but it turns out it�s so many of us� 6/

was waking up in the middle of the night, gasping for breath. I also experienced tremors while trying to sleep, like someone was shaking the bed. Also: many report a �hot head.� Mine literally radiated heat, despite not hitting a high fever. Then, there�s the confusion� 7/

The �brain fog.� I couldn�t read or make sense of text at times. I couldn�t remember words. I�d stare at my partner at a loss for what I needed to communicate, or how to do it. Also: thickening of the blood, clotting. Weird, inexplicable changes to the menstrual cycle. 8/

Everyone knows the lung stuff already, so I won't elaborate. But it doesn�t just go away. I wake up every morning & when I breathe in, it feels like someone is crinkling plastic in my
chest. And these are just the symptoms. I�m not even touching the physical damage done� 9/

...to patients� organs and bodily systems. I�m also not touching the mental component of this, which is compounded by the very virtue of not knowing if it�ll eventually kill you. But long-term covid sufferers all report the same thing: that the recovery is non-linear. 10/

You�ll wake up feeling better and assume, like would be true for the flu or a cold, you�re on the mend. But then... you get worse. & then you're feeling better again! & then you�re bedridden, worse than before. It makes no sense. You start to think you�re losing your grip... 11/

or maybe it�s all in your head. It isn�t. Thousands & thousands are experiencing these cycles. At some point, I realized that this was causing a trauma response in my body, which only seemed to worsen recovery. And I�m someone who�s learned over the years how to tend to... 12/

their mental health needs pretty well. This experience is a whole other ball game. It is terrifying what it did to my mind. There are parts of the experience I am well aware I've blocked out in order to function, and times my partner has to remind me of things I've shut out. 13/

There's so much we don't know � including if these physical damages are permanent or, for some, will lead to chronic illness. But one thing we do know is this isn�t the loving flu. Those of you taking risks (yes, you in masks, as well), please, please weigh them against... 14/

...experiences like mine. It's not "well, a tiny fraction of people die, and most people are better in two weeks." This is simply untrue. So many of us have suffered for months. Ask yourselves: is going to get a coffee, or getting a haircut worth being debilitatingly ill... 15/

...for 4+ months of your life? Or, is it worth condemning someone else to this experience? Tending to your critical needs (grocery, medicine) is a necessary risk. So is fighting for the lives of others (protesting, organizing). But I promise you, the risk is too great... 16/

...for a birthday party. Or a loving bar night. Or visiting your fav restaurant. Good lord, I cannot stress this enough. Please. Wear a mask. Stay home as much as you can. And know that the recovery times associated with this illness are wrong. That people are suffering. 17/

If you made it this far, thanks for reading. Please tell others about long-term Covid patients. And donate to #BLM, bc the cops who killed Breona Taylor and so many others are still free in the loving world, which is a disgusting heinous atrocity. /end

Seems fine, just the flu.

My mom texted me earlier tonight and rescinded her invitation for me to come up and join her and her boyfriend on the sailboat in Door County. She says traffic is insane, the marinas are above capacity, no one is wearing masks indoors. On top of all that its over 90* so people are overflowing the bars and restaurants. They're considering going home early because of how crowded it is.

The plague spread from this weekend holiday is going to be STAGGERING.

Australia allowed people to take $10,000 out of their government-enforced employer-paid retirement savings but is now going to fine people for doing it if they didn't lose at least 20% of their income. Insane.

The only reason I didn't do it myself is because I only had $2,000 in mine after moving here in 2019. I don't get unemployment or any social services so it's absurd they would punish people like me for trying to ensure we don't go homeless.

Apparently they just approved everyone and expected the honour system to work. Normally you can't withdraw anything until age 65. I don't even know if I get to stay here past 2023.
