podcasting is an exemption for the LA stay at home order too, for some reason. seems like that is something that could be done remotely fairly well.

Pretty sure that's the entire point of these orders, yes.

It's honestly staggering how flagrantly city/state officials are twisting contact tracing data to promote consumption. We've reached the point where the government is openly saying (not even implying!) that it's safer to be at a bar, school, or store than it is to remain in your own home.

I hate that we're so accustomed to being constantly saturated with advertisements that whenever we encounter something new and unusual, our immediate kneejerk reaction is not wonder or curiousity but "who the gently caress is trying to sell me something now?"

Yeah unfortunately even my relatives, who are 1st gen immigrants who believed in the American dream, are seriously discussing with our family on how to purchase property in Malaysia as they are seriously considering moving back, Biden win notwithstanding (they were originally only considering it if Trump won but now they also got radicalized)

Which means only my 80+ yo uncle in San Francisco who everyone in the extended family talks about in hushed terms (based on his Instagram stories, spoilers : into twinks) is stuck there I have no idea how he is handling it but I assume he has a strapping young hunk taking care of him

oh yeah, i think that's how it's working out for him. my relatives in Missouri are going stir crazy (they have converted the garage into the "sanitization zone" where they put everything delivered or purchased in there with the UV light on full blast for hours), one kid started dating some boy through zoom and was planning to go meet him physically behind her mum's back until she discovers the boy's bro has covid through track practice, and the boy's mum's attitude towards covid is "well, if I die, it will just be me who suffers so it's ok". I'm jumping the gun in assuming this relationship won't last the pandemic.

OH MY GOD

There are so many exemptions in the LA City order I can't even tell what's different from the previous rules

Non-essential retail allowed from 5AM to 10PM

Parks and trails open

But no biking or walking unless you're going to one of the exempted activities in Section V

Does this mean I can't walk to visit a friend, but I'm allowed to go to TJ Maxx between 5AM and 10PM to buy a winemom picture frame?

It's so loving dumb

Almost no business is going to survive operating if they're limited at 50% capacity, let alone 20%, I have no goddamn idea why politicians cannot loving understand this

Oh Jesus gently caress he has a Ph.D. in economics. LA is doomed :rip:

It's not even about that, it's the confidence that outward leaks don't also imply inward leaks. The insanity of not doing exactly what the safety manual says plus doing every both tests it recommends every time, if a mistake means COVID
